Jimmy Kimmel deserves better than this. He’s a class act. Case in point - after my first appearance on his show back in 2018, he very thoughtfully asked whether I was receiving adequate security at that time, as Trump was repeatedly smearing journalists as “the enemy of the people,”

Programming kids with lies is not education. Don't let PragerU slither its way into your school district.
Prager U is not educational. Pushing ideas like climate change is God’s will and radical Islam has more in common with woke liberalism than Christian Nationalism are why they have know place in schools. Texas and Fla want them to replace Public Broadcasting.

PragerU is a conservative video giant. Here's why it's trying to get into schools
Despite the suggestive sound of its name, PragerU is a content creator, not a university. Its short, well-produced videos appeal to college students and young people. And it has big plans to grow.

Think about what the GOP is revealing with their attempt to suddenly change the Congressional maps: they know their agenda is so unpopular that they're going to lose unless something changes.
Of course, what they should be changing is their policies, not the maps.
