Pam Bondi Is Out. Good. But Will We See Accountability?

Trump fired his Attorney General on April 2, 2026. The stated reason was frustration. The real story is what she did with the most powerful law enforcement office in the country for 14 months before he got tired of her. Pam Bondi is out as Attorney General of the United States. Donald Trump announced her firing on Truth Social on April 2, 2026, replacing her with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, his former personal criminal defense lawyer; which is an issue itself. Trump called her “a Great American Patriot” and said she was “transitioning to a much needed and important...

Why Did Trump Attend the Supreme Court Hearing?

The Quiet Threat Speaks for Itself The question deserves repeating, Why Did Why Trump Attend the Supreme Court Hearing? When a sitting president walks into the Supreme Court chamber during an active case, that’s not a show of confidence. That’s a visit from the landlord. On April 1, 2026, Donald Trump became the first sitting White House occupant in American history to attend oral arguments at the Supreme Court. Read that again slowly. The White House sent its principal — the man whose executive order is literally on trial — to sit in the gallery and watch his lawyers argue...

Should local governments publish lists of unscrupulous activities by private employers?

New York City Comptroller Brad Lander recently unveiled a new tool aimed at promoting transparency and accountability in the business sector: the “Employer Violations Dashboard.” Known colloquially as the “Wall of Shame,” this dashboard is a public resource that catalogs and displays a range of labor law violations committed by businesses across the city from 2020 to 2023. This initiative, according to Lander, is designed to spotlight businesses that fail to uphold workers’ rights. Publishing this list will inform the public and other stakeholders about these entities’ unethical practices. The Office of the New York City Comptroller has created this...

Were you taught in school that the numbers we use are Arabic numerals?

A recent poll by CivicScience has revealed a big misconception that might highlight a significant gap in American educational awareness. The poll asked 3,624 respondents whether “Arabic numerals” should be taught in schools, revealing that 56% of participants opposed their inclusion in the curriculum. Ironically, these are the very numerals (0-9) used universally in daily life and critical for basic literacy in mathematics. The survey didn’t provide an explanation of what “Arabic numerals” meant, a move that CivicScience CEO, John Dick, said was employed to “tease out prejudice among those who didn’t understand the question.” fox10phoenix Poll: 56 percent of...
