WTAF? Unconstitutional?
Eg: when I was growing up in the ‘70s, I often saw PSAs for the United Negro College Fund with the great tagline: “A mind is a terrible thing to waste.”
The Trump Administration just determined that the UNCF is unconstitutional.

Remember when Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump’s lawyer, Alan Dershowitz, wrote an op-ed trying to justify having sex with kids?
Seems relevant now.

Now that Bari Weiss pulled a segment telling the truth about Trump's deportations to let Stephen Miller have his say (i.e. spread propaganda), it's a good time to check out our deep dive into Miller's real worldview and agenda, which doesn't pull any punches:

If you're a staffer at 60 Minutes who worked on that CECOT segment that got yanked by Bari Weiss at the last minute, figure out a way to leak it. Not saying it's an easy decision or there won't be consequences, but ask yourself why you got into journalism in the first place.

They’re actually redacting Trump’s name AFTER the release.
🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files.
Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out.
See for yourself.

Trump adding his own name to the Kennedy Center - a memorial institution given its name after JFK was assassinated - is the most nakedly reprehensible and insulting act of cultural desecration by any modern US president.
This is just beyond parody now. The man is mentally and cognitively unwell.

Pathetic little boy.
Kyle Rittenhouse, the teenage shooter who killed two people and wounded a third in Kenosha, Wisconsin, has returned this month with a big announcement.
That announcement, however, proved to be as embarrassing as many of his previous attempts to call attention to himself.
"I think you're a joke."

A Florida sheriff had a message for Kyle Rittenhouse: "I think you’re a joke"
