Ground News is instructive about what the right doesn't cover *at all,* such as Trump renewing appeal to SCOTUS to deny SNAP funding. Not a single right wing source. Trumpers don't even know.

From the Metropolitan Museum website:
deceased, literally decorating the body. At least some of the objects were designed not for actual wear but as burial goods. For example, the magnificent gold crowns are very thin and fragile, with excessive (though attractive) trimmings. Similarly, gold earrings ( 43.49.5 ), particularly ones with the fat and hollow top ring, are too impractical to be worn. Yet,

Do you s'pose Mike Johnson knows that between 15 and 27% of his constituents use SNAP benefits? (Map from PolicyMap)
Map of northwestern Louisiana in tones of purple by county. Lighter purple denotes fewer SNAP recipients (15-18%) and darker purple denotes over 18%. About 2/3's of the map is dark purple.

Trump’s face on an 18th Century portrait of Marie Antoinette in an ornate white dress with sky blue ribbons and a very tall hairdo tied with a blue ribbon.

Love this painting. Caravaggio painted Judith as hesitant, encouraged by a man. Gentileschi knew an angry woman could only depend on another woman to hold him down.
A determined, frowning woman in a copper-colored gown with her sleeves rolled up holds a sword against the neck of man lying on his back, mouth open in resigned horror, held down by another woman with a head-scarf. Rivulets of blood already stain the bed.

Trump has done this to SNAP benefits. Please donate money to your local food pantries.

The fact that an Amazon Web Services outage has absolutely crippled half the internet and hasn't affected Amazon stock prices tells you everything you need to know about the absolute fantasy world of equities right now.

In a certain time and place fundraisers were just different.
A black and white photo: a man in a jacket stands casually, back to the camera, with his hands behind his back holding two objects, possibly rocks, while he observes a small bus and a delivery van across the road engulfed in flames and smoke. It is labeled in black sans serif typeface in the upper left, “Republican Resistance CALENDAR 1977.”

Two men in white helmets and goggles are standing with their bodies half out of the sunroof of a classic white VW Beetle with a red and blue racing stripe and the number 53 in big black letters on the front hood. The car is parked on grass between some shrubs. One man is spitting a stream of liquid while the other’s mouth is open in surprise.

Um, no. Not only is he misrepresenting what Gore said, but the people who measure sea ice extent in the Arctic say this is among the top ten lowest summer extents measured in 45 years.
Simple line graph showing decreasing minimum (summer) sea ice extent since 1980 (about 7 million square km) to 2025 (4.6 million square km). The line is jagged, but clearly starts to descend overall starting in about 2000, with extreme minimums in 2007 (4.16 million) 2012 (3.39 million), 2020 (3.82 million), and 2023 (4.23 million).

Still from the movie Spartacus: three slaves, chained, in tattered shirts, stand before a group of slaves seated on the ground. One standing slave has his mouth open, clearly shouting.

Day 2 of response to ICE raid after the return of workers in The Korea Times above the fold:
Front page headlines in The Korea Times, 9/16/25: Korea looks into possible human rights violations in ICE raid, Worker recounts details of human rights violations during detention in US raid, Trump says he does not want to "fright off" or "disicincentivize" foreign investments

Too late, idiot. Here's the above-the-fold of S. Korea's widest-circulation newspaper today. This story has legs. SHACKLED legs.
Korea Times from 9/14/25, with top of the page headlines: "Shackled and Chained: Mass detention of Koreans fuels criticism of US," and "Korea-US trade negotiations go adrift." A full color picture shows a group of Koreans holding a banner with a drawing of an ICE agent in black wearing a mask of a smiling Trump, waving, with the caption "We're Friends!"

A master-class in changing styles to speak to a potentially antagonistic audience.
EARTH is a SPHERE PROVE ME WRONG PLATO said Sphere is the MOST PERFECT of all objects. The Diquis left giant stone Spheres through North America in 500 BC - WHY? BIBLE refers to " circle of the Earth" in Isaiah 40:221 NASA Photos prove EARTH is a Sphere with GREENLAND on the top and ANTARCTICA on the bottom South America is along the Midline of the Sphere - ECUADOR = EQUATORI The Sphere spins around a line from THULE in Greenland to AMUNDSEN-SCOTT STATION, Antarctica. The Government built AMUNDSEN-SCOTT STATION as a base to explore the STAR-WINDS that strike the exact Bottom of the Sphere. In the center of the Earth Sphere is a Sphere of iron, then a larger Sphere of fiery rock, then a larger Sphere of solid rock and water where creatures live, then a larger Sphere of air. FOUR SPHERES IN ONE SPHERE, all spinning along an imaginary line from Greenland to AMUNDSEN-SCOTT STATION. The Moon-Sphere revolves around the Earth-Sphere once every 29.5 Days - SACRED ISLAMIC CALENDAR The Earth-Sphere revolves around the Sun-Sphere once every 365.24 Days = SACRED CATHOLIC CALENDAR. Pope Gregory Knew! Four spheres in one sphere creates invisible Field that protects us from the hostile Star-Winds that would destroy all life. Only at AMUNDSEN-SCOIT SLAMON can the Star-Winds be be seen and measured. The US Gow ernment sends scientists to AMUNDSEN-SCOTT STATION every year to monitor the Star-Winds, which is used to predict the Weather an design Electronic Pulse Bomb Weapons that can wipe out entire Cities! Winds are the turning of the Sphere of AIR. Currents are the turning of the Sphere of WATER. Earthquakes are the turning of the Sphere of FIRE. Protection from the Star-Winds is the turning of the Sphere of IRON. Only at AMUNDSEN-SCOTT STATION do the Spheres align and the Star-Winds break through. This is why only government scientists are allowed to go to AMUNDSEN-SCOTT STATION and everyone else is RESTRICTED. To understand Sphere Earth is to understand why AMUNDSEN-SCOTT STATION …

Squinting awkwardly while walking in unflattering lilac swim trunks, with a faint farmer’s tan and a soft chest, the legend still makes women swoon.

Happy skull! With wings! Not creepy at all, nope, let’s have a picnic right here.
