Wow...not often that it's the second-most massive body that is the one that gets tossed out.

He'd probably vote to repeal interracial marriage at this point to get the government to reopen.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

So in other words, the media literally does not represent the real world. This is telling.

Does the news reflect what we die from?

The image presents a comparison of the leading causes of death in the United States for 2023 and the media coverage these causes receive from three news outlets: The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Fox News.

In the footer, it notes the data sources, indicating that the information is based on media mentions from Media Cloud (2025) and death data from the US CDC (2025) and the Global Terrorism Index, with a clarification that values are normalized to sum to 100%.

I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop “left-wing” terrorism. He is staging it.

His troop deployments are a false flag — meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns.

This is now very obvious.

That's actually the GOPs exact strategy...when they can't outright repeal laws or policies they don't like, they instead weaken/nerf/neuter/bastardize them to the point where fully repealing them becomes acceptable.

"Influencer" is another way of saying "offers no intrinsic value to society"

No worries. CBS destroyed what was left of their credibility when they canceled Colbert. Hiring Weiss is just another step into obscurity for that organization.
