Fox personalities spent the first quarter of 2026 repeatedly telling viewers that the economy was growing robustly or predicting growth at up to a 5% annualized rate thanks to President Donald Trump’s purported improvements to the American economy during his second term. According to the April 30 advance estimate from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, real gross domestic product growth for the first quarter of 2026 came in at just 2% — yet Fox’s initial reaction was to portray this as “fairly strong” economic growth. Fox figures set similar expectations for the fourth quarter of 2025, predicting anywhere from 3% to 5% growth; instead, the advance estimate for that quarter was just 1.4% and has since been revised downward to a mere 0.5%. But even before the final economic growth figures for 2025 were reported, Fox promised that 2026 was “going to be amazing” after the economy fell flat in 2025.  ( 6 min )

Chris Wellons is abandoning Emacs and the Emacs packages he developed one of my first concerns was for Elfeed. It’s the RSS reader that I depend on everyday for my research and news curation. Wellons will be missed for many reasons but his stewardship of Elfeed is the most important one to me. I’m all but certain that Wellons will find good hands in which to entrust the future of Elfeed but as I learned in the Boy Scouts, it pays to be prepared. Serendipitously, I stumbled upon this post from Dave’s Blog that mentions he moved from Elfeed to Gnus. The post is about a solution he found for following links referred to in the RSS summary but I was more interested in his use of Gnus in place of Elfeed for RSS. I’ve considered, off and on, moving to Gnus but I’m really happy with mu4e for email and elfeed for RSS and Network News is, sadly, no longer important so moving to Gnus didn’t make much sense to me. Now, unfortunately, I may have to think about it. Gnus is a powerful complicated program and it seems a shame to use it just for RSS but if worse comes to worst it’s nice to have a mature and reliable fallback available. As I said, I’m pretty sure Elfeed won’t have any problems finding a new maintainer who will sustain its high quality but it’s nice to know that if I need it, there’s a viable, Emacs-based solution available.  ( 5 min )

Emacs offers a dizzying number of commands to perform bulk operations on multiple files or buffers. These commands are quite capable and can make trivial the execution of workflows that would be heroic in other editors.

This post calls attention to bulk commands related to search and replace in Emacs and how their discoverability can be improved using the Casual and Anju UI packages.

Whenever using an Emacs command involving a regular expression (regexp), you will need to understand what kind of regexp syntax is expected. There are la…  ( 4 min )

In his opinion for the right-wing majority, Justice Samuel Alito wrote that “in considering the constitutionality of a districting scheme, courts must treat partisan advantage like any other race-neutral aim: a constitutionally permissible criterion that States may rely on as desired.” The Court’s decision is consonant with the philosophy, articulated by Kilpatrick in his earlier days, that the state is oppressive when it interferes with the r…  ( 7 min )

TOPEKA — U.S. Sen.

newbies/starter kits nudged me to think about how new users can learn what they need in order to get started. In particular, I wanted to think about these questions that newbies might have: Is it worth it? How do I start? Should I use a starter kit? How? I'm stuck, how can I get help? This is overwhelming. How do I make it more manageable? EmacsWiki: EmacsWiki: Emacs Newbie I removed or deemphasized some links that might be confusing for newbies. EmacsWiki: Learning Emacs I reorganized the items and added some more notes. EmacsWiki: Emacs Screencasts I tweaked the beginner information section. I added a section for starter kits. EmacsWiki: Starter Kits I added "Things to know before you start" to help newbies who might not have Git installed or who might not know how to get to the command line. I also organized the starter kits by type. EmacsWiki: Keybinding Guide Replaced the link with Mastering Emacs. I'd add https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/efaq/Binding-keys-to-commands.html, but it's not responding to me at the moment even though downforeveryoneorjustme says that it's up. People often recommend Emacs News to people who want to learn more about what's going on in the Emacs community, so I added some notes to that one as well. I added an introduction to the Emacs News category page to direct new people to some tips for making the most of Emacs News I moved the e-mail subscription above the RSS feed, since people are more familiar with e-mail as a subscription mechanism. I added a tutorial for setting up newsticker within Emacs. I set up some shorter URLs (sachachua.com/emacs-news, sach.ac/emacs-news, yayemacs.com/news).

this post from Chris Wellons. The TL;DR is that Wellons, after 20 years, is abandoning Emacs for Vim. Folks do that, of course, but Wellons is special because he’s been a prolific author of Emacs packages including the absolute best RSS reader, Elfeed that I use everyday and depend on for my Irreal research. Over the years, I’ve interacted with Wellons several times and always found him to be personable, engaged, and shockingly smart. He’s exactly what you want in an interlocutor: informed but not inextricably bound to his opinions. He was always interested in the truth and willing to be persuaded by facts. By now, this has been all over the Internet and Sacha has already covered it on Emacs News but I wanted to add my appreciation for Wellons and everything he’s done for the Emacs community. I and the rest of our community can only hope that he returns from the dark side but in any event, we wish him well and thank him for all he’s done for us. In the meantime, he still has some packages in need of a new maintainer. There’s a list on his post. If you’re interested, get in touch with him.  ( 5 min )

Throughout the war with Iran, the Trump administration’s messaging on regime change has been murky. Senior officials and President Donald Trump himself have voiced interest in “a change in power” in Tehran, while also suggesting that regime change is not one of the war’s objectives.  Likewise, right-wing media have struggled to articulate a coherent response to the possibility of regime change in Iran, with some encouraging it while others say it's not a goal of the war.  There have also been conflicting opinions about whether regime change has already occurred. Some of the war’s top media supporters have claimed that “this regime lost,” while more critical figures questioned the success of the effort: “We didn't get regime change, we didn't stop them from shooting missiles, and they own the Strait of Hormuz.”  ( 7 min )

I’ve been reading RSS and Atom feeds in Gnus for a few weeks, having moved over from elfeed. IIRC in elfeed it was pretty easy to visit the URL that an entry summarized. I’ve been searching for a while to do the same in Gnus, without much luck. But today I finally hit C-h b while in the Gnus summary buffer, and finally noticed w bound to gnus-summary-browse-url. Aha! This function will “Scan the current article body for links, and offer to browse them.” For many articles, this will get me the one and only link, to the article. For some of the articles, this finds several URLs, so I just have to try to pick the right one. For that, I note If only one link is found, browse that directly, otherwise use completion to select a link. The first link marked in the article text with ‘gnus-collect-urls-primary-text’ is the default. And what is gnus-collect-urls-primary-text? It’s “The button text for the default link in ‘gnus-summary-browse-url’” and its value is “Link”. Exactly what I’m usually seeking! This is an example of Emacs being self-documenting.  ( 1 min )

Right-wing media figures are largely divided over President Donald Trump's push to renew the controversial Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which allows for warrantless surveillance of electronic communications of foreign nationals located outside the United States. Right-wing podcasters and figures on Newsmax have advocated against renewing Section 702, with some suggesting his support for renewing it now is hypocritical given Trump’s past rants against FISA and others arguing that Trump wants to “spy on Americans.” Meanwhile, some personalities on Fox News came out in support of the FISA renewal, arguing that it's an important national security tool that could deal with “Iranian sleeper cells.”  ( 8 min )

An effort to limit access to contraceptives and preach natural family planning and higher birth rates is taking shape under Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Department of Health and Human Services. New guidelines for applying for Title X grants, created in 1970 to provide family planning and preventative health services, shift focus away from providing contraception and sexual health resources to prioritize “natural family planning methods” instead. The policy changes included in the new Title X guidelines reflect almost exactly what Project 2025's policy proposal book Mandate for Leadership called for: “better education around fertility awareness and holistic family planning." Contraceptives were long politically untouchable for conservatives due to their overwhelming public support, but the Trump administration seems to now be making moves to limit their accessibility. An anonymous HHS staffer claimed the change is an attempt by the Trump administration “to mollify the anti-abortion wing of the GOP." Key right-wing and Make America Healthy Again influencers have been pushing for restrictions on contraceptives and abortion in recent years.  ( 5 min )

In the last month, right-wing media figures have labeled a wide range of people and entities they associate with the Democratic Party — from former President Barack Obama to mainstream media figures and critics of the Iran War — as “traitors,” in some cases explicitly demanding they be tried for treason and put to death. This rhetoric showcases the right's escalation and propensity for more extreme reactions during the second Trump administration.  ( 4 min )

As the president’s approval rating crisis compounded earlier this month, the White House attempted to tout his tax cuts, with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt claiming on Tax Day that they put “a historic amount of money” into the pockets of the American people. But some Fox Business personalities are pointing out that those gains have been offset by the higher energy costs caused by Trump’s war with Iran. Reuters reported that increased prices at the gas pump are “eat[ing] most of the larger tax refunds that people are seeing from new tax breaks on tips, Social Security retirement payments, overtime pay, car loan interest and state and local tax bills that were part of last year's Republican-backed tax-cut legislation.” The reporting confirms that the bump in gasoline costs for Americans exceeds even the highest estimates for average tax refund increases. On Fox News, Jessica Tarlov, the Democratic co-host of Fox’s panel show The Five, noted that the tax returns were being wiped out by the gasoline price increase, noting, “Kellyanne brings up the tax refund, the $375 on average that you got back, which is compared to the $740 extra that you're going to pay at the pump because of the increase in gas prices.”  On Fox Business, many pundits are making the same point, even if reluctantly.  ( 4 min )

An obsession with work is a colonial, patriarchal, and capitalist construct. As such, the anti-work movement is an important part of decolonization, feminism, and anti-capitalism. Work is a tool of oppression By anti-work, I don’t mean that no one ever works. That’s preposterous of course. There are things that need to get done, and people need to do them. But this obsession with hard work as a virtue, as a good and righteous thing to do, the glorification of toil and sweat and labor… that’s a tool the wealthy who don’t work for a living use to oppress those who do.  ( 14 min )

Earth Day, observed each year on April 22 since 1970, is one of the few predictable moments when broadcast networks air stories about climate and environmental issues. A Media Matters analysis of 2026 Earth Day coverage found that broadcast networks — ABC, CBS, and NBC — aired 33 minutes across 11 segments, while cable networks — CNN, Fox News, and MS NOW — aired 15 minutes across 7 segments. The coverage followed familiar patterns: Feel-good nature segments and consumer-oriented content dominated, while broadcast segments avoided explaining the systemic drivers of climate change and environmental pollution, connecting impacts to policy, or identifying who is most affected by climate and environmental harms. On cable, reporting from CNN’s Bill Weir focused on the record-low level of Arctic sea ice and broader climate impacts. Overall, the reporting reduced climate and environmental issues to isolated impacts and individual choices; the decisions, systems, and industries shaping our climate conditions were largely absent from Earth Day coverage.  ( 4 min )

Following an April 16 interview with The Associated Press in which International Energy Agency Executive Director Fatih Birol warned that Europe has “maybe six weeks or so” of jet fuel supplies remaining resulting from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, Fox has used that warning as a cudgel to prod European allies to join President Donald Trump’s unauthorized Iran war. Both European and American airlines have already been heavily affected, with tens of thousands of flights having been canceled and many airlines increasing airfares and fees — or even, as in the case of Spirit Airlines, facing bankruptcy and seeking a government bailout.  Some Fox personalities have argued that Trump is being “savvy” or “wise” in using his continued failure to force the Strait of Hormuz open to call for European aid he has erratically both demanded and refused in recent weeks. Some Fox figures were even more blunt in their demands that Europe engage in Trump’s costly military misadventure.  ( 5 min )

On the April 27 edition of Newsmax’s Wake Up America, co-host Marc Lotter claimed Secret Service agents are not being paid due to an ongoing partial government shutdown affecting the Department of Homeland Security. Although the shutdown has affected some Secret Service functions, multiple sources have recently confirmed that Secret Service agents “have been paid during the shutdown.” According to a New York Times report from March 31, “Law enforcement officers at Customs and Border Protection and the Secret Service are also being paid, along with more than 40,000 U.S. Coast Guard military personnel.” CNN also heard from a senior administration official that “paychecks for sworn law enforcement officers in ICE, CBP and the Secret Service, as well as for Coast Guard military personnel, are being funded by the ‘big, beautiful bill.’”  ( 4 min )
