Trey Sherman, who worked on the now-canceled CBS Evening News Plus, also posted this TikTok clip explaining that every producer of color on the show was laid off -- and every white producer was relocated to another role in the company.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Dumbshit Trump can't even spell South Korea but knows exactly how to spell Epstein.

Just remember when child rapist John Casablancas was run out of the modeling industry for all his child rape crimes, Trump was the only one who would hire him.

Trump installed him in Brazil at his real estate co.

That’s right, USDA’s shutdown plan dated September 30, 2025, seems to be gone from their website. But, you can find that excerpt on page 15 of the plan, here: web.archive.org/web/20251001....

Punchbowl reports “White House officials determined they do not have the authority” to use contingency reserves —billions of $ that Congress provided for use when SNAP funding is inadequate— to fund Nov. SNAP benefits. But, that’s not what USDA’s now-deleted shutdown plan says:

By Nicholas Fandos Oct. 29, 2025, 12:04 p.m. ET Former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo earned nearly $5 million working as a private consultant in 2024, a sum so large it puts him in the top 0.5 percent of New York City earners, according to his annual tax returns. The tax documents, reviewed by The New York Times on Tuesday, show that Mr. Cuomo derived $4,712,978, almost all of his income last year, from Innovation Strategies, a pass-through company created for his consulting work before he ran for mayor of New York City. By using his company as an in-between, Mr. Cuomo avoided having to disclose the individual clients who paid for his services. His campaign said he had stopped his private work earlier this year, but it has repeatedly refused to say who was paying him. The arrangement, while well within the law, makes it almost impossible for voters or watchdog groups to understand the financial and business connections of someone who could soon have sway over billions of dollars in public contracts, real estate developments and city policy. Mr. Cuomo, who is running as a third-party candidate after losing June's Democratic primary, was the last major mayoral candidate to agree to share his tax documents. He did so only in the waning days of the campaign as early voting was underway. The former governor, 67, was the highest earning candidate in the race last year - by a factor of more than 10.

In fact, Cuomo set up a "pass-through company" specifically to hide the names of his clients.

What little we know was only revealed by investigative reporting. And it's not pretty.

Let me be very clear. It is not enough that RFK Jr. was forced to admit today that no causal relationship between Tylenol and autism has been shown.

We know that while disinformation spreads like wildfire on social media, corrections most often die on the vine.

A writer tried dating alt-right men as an experiment to learn about them. There is so much going on here I don't even know where to start

I told him that I was born in Russia and was a writer. He showed me a list he’d written of his favourite desserts in the city. It was a sober hobby he’d started during the pandemic, going to restaurants by himself, sampling sweets. He made a lot of lists, he said, most of them food-related. I asked what other kinds he made. “Lists of lies liberal white women tell about Donald Trump,” he replied. Suddenly, his leg was shaking. He grabbed the edges of the table and raised his voice: “White, liberal women are a plague on our society.” He proceeded to drink 11 iced coffees.

According to ICE’s own data, none of its officers have been killed by an immigrant in the agency’s history.

Yet, the Trump administration claims it needs to send the military into American cities because of the unique danger faced by federal agents enforcing immigration laws.
How dangerous is it really to work for ICE?

HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions — not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

We checked the Department of Homeland Security's viral videos of chaos and protests. What we found were months-old, misleading clips, some recorded thousands of miles away.

They're demonizing SNAP and other recipients of federal aid on right wing media.

Of 21 million federal aid beneficiaries, ~70% work full-time and 39% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. Critics need to ask Amazon and Walmart why they won't pay enough for their employees to survive w/o food stamps.

SNAP is probably the most effective federal dollar we spend in terms of long term domestic economic outcomes.

that isn’t why you should support it; you should support it because it is a moral imperative to feed the hungry.

but it’s why even a growth-oriented ghoul shouldn’t oppose it.
