The fact that nobody created national discourse mistaking a trail crew's tattoo with a nazi symbol before doesn't mean it's an op, come on.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

The SNAP program "maintains a reserve, currently estimated to be about $5 billion, that can help cover emergencies and shortfalls."

The Trump administration is refusing to use those funds.

it’s beyond comprehension that scenes like this have become routine in chicago.

masked soldiers are carelessly lobbing chemical weapons—that are banned from use during warfare—on random residential streets.

this is the third time feds have tear-gassed residents in chicago *this week!*
