Wow. Fantastic reporting here.
Aaron Donald is a future Pro Football Hall of Famer and one of the most dominant defenders in NFL history.

But five years of intensifying harassment from a stalker left him exasperated, uncertain and afraid.

I don’t usually watch, is it normal to have the majority of the audience just talking, eating, drinking while the opening speech is going on?

Mr. Eugene had a couple folks clapping, but the overwhelming sound was of folks enjoying the chicken or the salmon. 🤷🏾‍♀️

This is, in large part, pandemic revenge.

As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do.

They can't keep spewing carbon.

They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying.

They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

Eugene Daniels is a cowardly Black man throwing a gay Black comedienne under the bus in order to appease the white supremacist-in-chief.

Legacy media reporters are increasingly muzzled and the wider editorial tilt that falls outside their control often makes the public distrust them, which is unfortunate. But independent media that takes an openly anti-Musk, anti-Trump stance is growing and will skyrocket under this administration

The entire NYT op-ed page would have invoked the Saturday Night Massacre and called for his immediate impeachment
On today’s episode of “if Obama”

If Obama fired over a dozen inspectors general in the middle of the night, the media would have (appropriately) excoriated him over the illegality and absolutely tanked his approval ratings

Trump does it, and CNN calls it a “shakeup”

Shameful.

Musk tweeting support for AfD, a Nazi party, should be headline news. But, it's not even the major topic of the day. Don't sleep on this, folks. AfD is the successor of the Nazi party in Germany. Look at their policies.
