When Columbia, Cornell, and Northwestern send material asking for donations, do they include links to a Trump SuperPAC so donors don't have to bother with a middle man?

Hi everybody,
It's Black Friday, a big day for us at The Onion, since we rely almost entirely on your memberships.
Our goal for 2026? More print subscribers than the Washington Post.
This is, somehow, feasible.
So sign up! A year of print is $75 for the year today. Help us do a very funny thing.

Sad to see. The Holy See’s virulent anti-AI stance will hold the Church back as other religions continue to innovate. Praying the Pope adopts a grindset more compatible with the speed of the modern world
Pope Leo XIV told students not to use artificial intelligence for homework, saying that AI ‘won’t stand in authentic wonder before the beauty of God’s creation.’

I can suspend disbelief with the best of them but if Stranger Things is in Indiana, there should be more billboards for truck injury attorneys.

Before DOGE, systems meant to serve millions of people were being run by a few harried employees using outdated systems. And now, after DOGE, they are being run by even fewer, even more harried employees on those same outdated systems!
So, DOGE, What Would You Say You Did Here?

Wanted to read the Kyrsten Sinema book but it sold out.
I’m reading a book about former congressman Mark Foley but it’s just got too many pages for me to handle.

1/ Today, ProPublica is running a piece I've been working on for a bit. It's about what happened with a devastating wave of bird flu earlier this year, as egg prices hit record highs.
And it's a story that illuminates the ways the U.S. is failing to control what could become the next pandemic. 🧵

'Everything happens fast, but nothing actually happens. Each story on televised news is "breaking" until it is displaced by the next one. So we are hit by wave upon wave but never see the ocean.'

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.
