if you’re not ashamed to run this kind of trash you should leave journalism and find a career with fewer consequential ethical decisions like a real estate agent or a boat salesman

"We've got him on the ropes, let's take a break."
What kind of answer is this??
How about "as the party of law & order, we will continue to advocate for every single person denied due process in the United States."

It's incredible how every single institution that decided to comply with zero resistance and bend the knee to Trump are, without fail, all getting absolutely NOTHING out of it.
They're still getting attacked and targeted and they STILL won't get the fuck up off the ground. Clown shit.

Also makes me wonder if this is how Mike Walz accidentally added Jeffrey Goldberg to the Signalgate chat. It was probably one of 1,700 constantly active Signal chats he and his buddies were in
i'll say this, though, this story explains a hell of a lot of how and why someone like chris rufo — who is not a scholar, not an intellectual, not an interesting thinker or writer, not even an interesting person — got to be so influential.

So here in France we have a 5G-enabled electricity meter called Linky, which naturally here in the land where people who live in heaven think they live in hell there were all kinds of protests — Linky gives you cancer, makes your kids autistic, kills your dog, sets your house on fire, and so on.

Nigel Farage will be PM by 2029. The UK is heading towards fascism and labour is content to push it along.

Legally defining "biological sex" to be just whatever the doctor said when you were born rather than it referring to your actual, material biological sex as it exists today is like legally defining Pi to be 3
