It’s been a year to the day we bought (and then didn’t, for reasons we still don’t fully know) InfoWars. We’re still trying. In the year since, we built The Onion into one of the biggest newspapers in the United States. I’m so proud of this place. I’m proud we do hard stuff. Thank you for caring.

Anyway, I am in a 777 that has seats facing both directions and the people looking backwards are very unhappy and trying to get people to switch with them. Lots happening.

There are some workers eyeing the dilapidated green shed - and I'm not ok.
It's a case that defied (the debunked) broken windows theory — no one was going near that thing because it could collapse and kill you.

You probably saw videos of a nighttime raid in Chicago. Agents rappelling from a helicopter, bursting down doors, questioning brown-skinned immigrants.

We investigated -- and found little evidence to support the government’s claims about Tren de Aragua.

Who's rounding up and who's rounding down?

Landry gave us an unintentional start with 10% tax.
The American penny died on Wednesday in Philadelphia. It was 232. The cause was irrelevance and expensiveness, the Treasury Department said. Nothing could be bought any more with a penny, as the cost to mint the penny had risen to more than 3 cents. nyti.ms/48bFd5K
