"Never spread the lie in the headline" should be a hard rule of 21st century journalism.
Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.

Tesla’s profit fell 37% in the third quarter. It's been in the process of laying off 14,000 workers. It had more cars impacted by recalls than any other brand in 2024.

Speaking of "hate America," this guy and his GOP colleagues are smirking about rejecting the will of the American people. The Americans of Arizona's 7th district chose to send Grijalva to Congress but the GOP hates the majority of Americans and refuse to let them have any say in government.
KARL: I mean, you could swear in Adelita Grijalva tomorrow, right?
MIKE JOHNSON: No, not tomorrow. We couldn't. We wouldn't.

Newsom’s popularity comes from grasping what Congressional Dems don’t. They believe they can ride this out, trotting out “this isn’t normal” every few weeks, then win the next election by default.
But that assumes elections will be normal and that they’ll win. Neither is guaranteed. Not even close
