Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

@jeffjarvis.bsky.social what say you about this CNN edit that omits Miller's egregious words, after what he said on broadcast was edited out of the online version? CNN is complicit in hiding this regime's nefarious plans from the American people. A president with "plenary authority" is a dictator.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

It's so interesting that Turning Point, which actually does advocate for violence, is so quick to point fingers at antifa, an organization that largely does not exist.

In Österreich 🇦🇹 meldet die von Finanznöten geplagte Dreier-Koalition einen beachtlichen Erfolg. Im Konsens und in nur 1 Woche schnürten Regierung & Gewerkschaften den Abschluss für Beamtengehälter auf, 2026 gibt es eine Nullrunde. Ersparnis: 310 Millionen €. Der Finanzminister klingt sehr froh. 👇🏽

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.
