They took CBS. CNN is next.

Trump's dementia has grown so extreme that a select group of advisors are now running the country without his input. To find who those advisors are and what their plans are, buy my new book, which will appear in March 2029.

ProPublica examined months of Fox News’ coverage and reviewed over 700 videos posted on social media.

The network used five-year-old footage, mislabeled other dates and implied footage from elsewhere was in Portland.

All media mergers end up hurting writers, actors, directors, and everyone else who works in the industry. Executives, assistants, caterers, teamsters, everyone. Fewer companies means fewer jobs, period.

Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

The fact that the OU Psychology department gave the grad student a teaching award a day or so before the suspension is another tell. I’m surprised the social posts about it were up long enough to get cached by Google

i’m genuinely so convinced all of this has been a planned operation by the student and her mother (who is commenting on this publicly, and associated closely with the republican party), and big far right propaganda account going all in on it. this is designed to oust trans people from public life

Begging reporters to make this distinction. She did not "cite" the Bible, she *invoked* the Bible.

"Citing" is this: "According to the Genesis account, 'In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth'" (Genesis 1:1, KJV)."

Just saying "the Bible says" before your claim isn't citing.
There literally wasn't a single citation given. Even when she referred to the Bible--the ONLY text she refers to by name--she couldn't even cite which verses she quoting.

I was an English student at OU. I can fuckin guarantee that any one turning in an essay like this--Bible or no--would get a 0.

the primary thing that TPUSA provides to young conservatives is a blueprint for weaponizing the abject cowardice of university administrators against individual teachers and instructors, and university admins should take a long look in the mirror and think about what that says about them

REMINDER: if you think your right-on lefty/socialist/communist/etc. politics justifies pirating books, well guess what? Most writers don't make a living wage from their books or writing work, and stealing from them makes you a class traitor.

About page rates: "More likely you had to work 10 hours or more per day to make that schedule: $6.25 per hour. Oh, and no benefits. No employer paying social security. Nothing. Take out that money as well, and you are working for something like $5 per hour." colleendoran.substack.com/p/about-thos...

I love seeing this. That politicians or people who step up for public office & study history, practice an Art, engage in the outdoors; have an interior life of depth instead of seeking political affirmation. It makes them better people. Makes them better political leaders. A rounded human being.
