New editions of the US Constitution are in high demand.
When Random House publisher Andrew Ward met recently with staff editors to discuss potential book projects, the conversation inevitably turned to current events and the Trump administration. It was obvious that we needed to look at the country's core documents. We wanted to get them out quickly. Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Jon Meacham has written biographies of Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson. The Random House volumes will join a market that has grown in recent months. The editions of the Declaration of Independence, the Federalist Papers and the U.S. Constitution are selling at their fastest pace since 2004. Through April, 162,000 combined copies have been sold, compared to 58,000 during the same time period the year before and 33,000 in 2023.

Turner stopped at the National Museum of African American History and Culture when he arrived at the White House. Turner knelt in prayer and laid a wreath at the entrance of the museum in support of its mission which incurred President Donald Trump's criticism. Turner wanted to show support for the museum, which opened in 2016 and received its 10 millionth visitor in 2023. The museum tells the history of chattel slavery, Jim Crow segregation and its effects, but it also highlights the determination, successes and contributions of Black Americans and Black institutions. Turner, pastor of Empowerment Temple African Methodist Episcopal Church in Baltimore, laid a wreath there to show his support for the museum. He encouraged his church members to join the museum as well....

Washington state lawmakers marked Earth Day with a controversial new policy that critics say takes aim at electric vehicle giantTesla. Substitute House Bill 2077, which was narrowly approved in the House with a 52–45 vote, introduces new excise taxes on manufacturers that generate or bank large volumes of zero emission vehicle credits. The emissions credits can be used by other companies to offset their emissions. The bill imposes a 2 percent tax on sold ZEV credits, a 10 percent tax on banked credits, and an additional levy of up to 50 percent on pooled credits. The move was seen as a response to the dominance ofTesla in the ZEV credit market. The measure is divisive and six Democrats broke ranks to oppose it. You can read it in XPOST.

The talks between US and Iranian officials are surprisingly positive, not only because of the usual US animus or even hatred towards Tehran, but also because Washington is willing to say no. The United States usually does what Israel says. But Israel wants the United to fight a war with Iran, and Trump seems to be trying to avoid such a war. The power of the Israel lobby on US politics cannot be overstated, but Trump has an opportunity to break with his predecessors and stand up for US interests, whether on Iran or Palestine.

A crucial bill is on its way to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' desk, aimed at cracking down on false SWATTING calls, a growing threat conservatives have faced across the nation. Anyone found guilty of making a false swatTING call will have to pay for the full cost of the investigation and prosecution, as well as any injuries or property damage caused. The bill makes it a 3rd-degree felony to make a false emergency call. Ensuring that the safety and security of every Floridian is protected is a vital step. The bill, sponsored by Governor Ron DeSantis and Rep. Bill Partington, is a strong move towards holding criminals accountable and sending a message that we will not tolerate attacks on our communities. SGTnewsNetwork

The senator from Illinois is the No. 2. Two Senate Democrats for two decades and a leading liberal voice on Capitol Hill will not seek re-election next year, ending a 44-year congressional career focused on immigration, the federal justice system and anti-smoking initiatives. The decision to be announced on Wednesday by Mr. Durbin, 80, was widely expected and will immediately touch off a crowded competition for a rare Senate seat in his solidly blue state. He becomes the fifth sitting senator to announce a retirement, all of them over the age of 65. It was not an easy choice to step away from his prime perch doing battle with President Trump, who he considers a dire threat to democracy, according to an interview revealing his plans. He said that he didn't want to miss the fight, but he had to be honest about it.
