When the prison guards went on strike, many inmates said they were doing so to preserve their ability to do things like this.
A @nytimes.com investigation has found that state prison guards have been credibly accused of engaging in such behavior — putting inmates in restraints and then assaulting them — far more often than was previously known.

It wasn’t a failure if you acknowledge that cutting government spending wasn’t the goal
Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*
The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.

The Washington Post editorial board decided the Epstein files have “no public interest” before even seeing them. That’s a stunning position for any newsroom to take. Praising Clay Higgins as the lone ‘no’ vote, too? No wonder no one trusts legacy media. Absolutely disgusting.

It's not remotely true. It's only true if you have an axe to grind that Doing A Popularism & capturing the "middle" that conveniently fits your personal policy preferences is the "best" thing to do.
