When I got the email, I didn’t know if I should laugh or cry:
“Our AI turned your paper ‘King’s Crowns: The’ into a shareable comic. ”
Here’s 24,000 words turned into four panels, including a reference to Nork City and the year 17605. Cf. newprairiepress.org/burgonsociet...

Wisconsin State Senator confirms SNAP recipients in the state have received their November benefits.
Great news! Because of a recent court order, November SNAP benefits for Wisconsin recipients were made available overnight. Members should feel free to use the funds as they normally would.

Within a week, the groypers will be saying “remain liquid” to one another in place of good bye.
Trump on SNAP: "Our country has to remain very liquid because problems, catastrophes, wars -- it could be anything. We have to remain liquid. We can't give everything away."

From a literary standpoint, I’d say this is the most important photo ever taken of Trump as president. Captures everything about the guy.

Ted Cruz pushing lie that Democrats don’t care whether president is constitutionally eligible.
He’s laying the groundwork for Trump’s third term.

Ted Cruz: "I think right now the 2 frontrunners for the Democratic nomination in 2028 are AOC and Mamdani. Now, he's not even eligible, but what do they care? Law doesn't mean anything to them. That's where their party is."

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."
