“From the moment President Trump was re-elected, he has muscled his way into the driver’s seat at the Justice Department, leaving tread marks on its time-honored independence from the White House by demanding, and sometimes directing, investigations into his enemies,” the New York Times reports. “But his tight grip on the steering wheel has often […]

“The Justice Department told Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) that it has never investigated her over allegations that she shared insider information about President Trump’s vice presidential pick before it became public,” Axios reports.

New York Times: “Hundreds of members of the group, the country’s largest socialist organization, gathered here at a moment of surging political influence, some wearing bright red shirts, swapping labor-strike tips with their ‘comrades,’ sharing voter turnout strategies and admiring far-left merchandise (guillotine earrings, ‘Land Lords Suck’ pins and red roses, a symbol of the […]

Who is ruining baseball? For me, for today, it's the Washington Nationals. Games played by my home team make up a solid 90 percent of the baseball I watch in a given regular season. Like a lot of baseball fans I was hoping Tarik Skubal would go to the Milwaukee Brewers or th...

2001 profile of Vernor Vinge, the brilliant science fiction writer and computer scientist. By Katie Hafner at The New York Times: A linchpin of his thinking is what he calls the “technological singularity,” a point at which the intelligence of machines takes a huge leap, an...

Some people are fans of the New Orleans Saints. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the New Orleans Saints. This 2026 Defector NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Read all the previews so far here.

Your team: New Orleans Saints
