If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career

Turns out People Magazine is better at covering Trump than the New York Times and Washington Post combined people.com/donald-trump...

Asked by Erika Kirk what her advice to young men is, Nicki Minaj says, “don’t be like [Gavin] Newscum.” Nicki then refers to Trump as “our handsome, dashing president.” She then referred to JD Vance as “an assassin,” and remembered whom she was on stage with. Erika Kirk then assures her it’s fine

WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE!? Where is Congress? Where are they? I want to film this for my kids & my grandkids. I want them to see the day democracy died in Washington, D.C. Even George is upset 🦮 & we should all be shocked! No one is here to say this is wrong! I was born here. I'm Andrew Howard. 1/5🧵

damn DOJ really trying to “just trust me bro” about trump not being in the epstein files as if anyone would trust them

EARTH’S TILTED AXIS is the REASON for the SEASONS

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

This shouldn’t be a one-day story. Trump’s sick response to the brutal murder of Rob and Michelle Reiner should finally cause decent people to say enough is enough, that the 25th Amendment is there for a reason. open.substack.com/pub/america/...

Wash Post, CBS News, next CNN?, etc are not money makers. The owners give the Trumpists what they want and get favorable treatment for their other businesses in exchange. Owners make money that way. The regime wants quiescence. No one in this exchange cares if the outlets have audience or profits.

Trump is often discussed as one of the worst presidents in modern American history, but it’s important to remember that such a categorization is far too narrow. Donald J. Trump is one of the worst people in modern American history.

this is not behavior becoming of a FIFA Peace Prize recipient.

Wait, what? There's actually no TikTok deal?

Trump faces a backlash from The Reasonable Majority. Up to a quarter of those who voted for him are changing their minds as he ignores his economic & health care promises, abuses power on immigration & tariffs and uses office for personal gain & revenge. My column www.nytimes.com/2025/12/13/o...

China was the largest export market for American farmers in 2024. They bought 27 metric tons of soybeans last year. They stopped buying in 2025 when Trump started his trade war. These are simple, obvious, basic facts. bsky.app/profile/atru...
