I Went to the “Free Press” Party for Under-30s. All I Got Was Ennui.
At Bari Weiss’s “Cheers to the Republic” mixer, I met anti-vaxxers, was recruited for a trip to Israel, and heard the word “heterodox” more than I would have liked to.

"What I think is lacking is, was there even an attempt made to try to verify the accuracy of what he was saying, or did they simply take him at his word?" says University of Minnesota media law professor Jane Kirtley about a recent video made accusing Somali-owned day care centers of fraud.
Here’s what to know about a viral YouTube video about fraud in Minnesota

You voted for the tiktok ban. You helped make this happen.
First Paramount / CBS and now TikTok.
Trump wants to hand over even more control of what you watch to his billionaire buddies.
Americans deserve to know if the President struck another backdoor deal for this billionaire takeover of TikTok.

i spent a lot of time talking to people who disagree with me. after having a certain number of guns and knives pulled on me and having a couple bones broken I decided conservatives aren't worth the trouble.
CNN has a show with a similar line. That the problem with this country is we just aren’t talking to each other.
It’s the kind of diagnosis that a toddler would land on.

The rise of Islamophobia, antisemitism, and all forms of hatred in our country are hallmarks of fascism. Trump and the GOP are scapegoating minorities to distract from their failures. Please join me in taking a firm stand against hatred.
