This entire article is positive about Trump Gold Cards. It contains positive quotes about it from Trump, Lutnick and a CEO. It contains no quotes from the many critics of the program. This is sandwiched between 6 posts about Erika Kirk. CBS is lost.

Greedy private equity CEOs know no bounds. They’ve gutted nursing homes, bled local papers dry—and now they want to gamble with grandma’s retirement to buy their next yacht. I won’t let it happen.

The Palestine hunger strikers in jail are moving into the period where irreversible damage can be done and death becomes a real danger.
I had not understood how serious the situation is.
None of them are convicted, and there is no need to keep them in jail at all.

Stunning news: down here in Miami tonight, the Dem candidate has CRUSHED the Rep incumbent for Mayor by 59-41%. This is the _first_ time we've had a Dem Mayor since 1997 -- nearly 30 years. The Rep was on Trump's Immigration Committee and had his endorsement + DeSantis's.

I wouldn't have chosen poetry writing, but UNC made me take a class. And it absolutely made me become a much better writer, with an eye to concision and an ear now trained to the rhythm of words. I'm a better historian as a result.

If you are providing me with an education that is low utility in the world then it’s a disservice. My composition class spent four weeks on poetry. I’m sorry, but that only would’ve been useful if I wanted to be a poet. I don’t need to know iambic pentameter in order to be a victim advocate.
