That paper was objectively a 0% level effort regardless of the topic. Disgusting result. It didn't even really catch on in the media like they'd hoped, but the TA is still gone.

Exactly this: the administration’s concentration camps should be a howling, daily outrage, a scandal of historic proportions.
Bari’s complaint was “there’s nothing new here” and while that’s untrue it’s also irrelevant
“we intentionally sent people to be tortured in a hellhole and bragged about it and The Hague is too good for everyone involved” is a story that simply cannot be told enough

As you bitch & moan about Dems not getting you off enough or whatever y’all do know that there have been elections throughout 2025 & that Democrats are largely bodybagging Republicans in them & overperforming drastically even in the ones they have no business competing in right? Like your eyes work?

I can't believe it aired in Canada or the YouTube hasn't taken it down.
one of the things weiss suggested cutting was the section with the stanford students, where they show how a lot of this stuff is double checked

Ironically, the movie about the only other time in their history that they ever spiked a story is streaming on... Disney.
Censorship is major step on the path toward an authoritarian regime. Cancelling an important 60 Minutes piece on the very real brutality being experienced by imprisoned people has lit a 4 alarm fire.

He loved it here, he wanted to be one of us, and this is what we did to him. This is an ugly, ugly country.
Nenko Gantchev should still be alive—home with his family. After 30 years contributing to Chicagoland as a small business owner and taxpayer, ICE detained him, ignored his medical needs, and he died in custody. This system is cruel, reckless, and must be held accountable.

BREAKING: RFKJr directs that the US instantly stop recommending all vaccinations for children. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
Under RFK Jr., U.S. plans to stop recommending most vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

“Here’s your meal, full of delicious lead” I don’t want it. No thank you. “Well, what about if we just use lead in the cooking process? You can’t even taste the lead in the final meal” I’m leaving. “You’re being childish. Soon everyone will be cooking with lead” have you fucking listened to yourself

Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

You can’t pick up a FIFA Peace Prize and then go start a war.
Why that would make a mockery of the entire idea of a FIFA Peace Prize.
