I know Charlie Kirk valued debate and free speech because he blocked me for fact-checking his lies on Twitter and then put me on his organization's Professor Watchlist for writing a book he didn't like.

Trump says the -818k 2024 benchmark payroll revisions show BLS commissioner McEntarfer was political and incompetent. Let’s look at the facts.
1. The revisions were released in Aug 2024, not Nov 15 as the president said. So the BLS release showing far less job growth came 3 mos. BEFORE the election

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

How can anyone believe that Joe Biden is the president we need to worry about? He did a great job! Focus on the current White House occupant who is corrupt, incompetent, dishonest, delusional, and actively destroying this country.

Trump again showed how weak he is but threats remain both to the economy worldwide and to democracy in America and they ought to focus our attention. In fact, the peril is so great, there is really only one issue before us all. My latest. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

The tariffs are catastrophic. But so too are the abuses of power, so is the corruption, so are the police state tactics, so is the destruction of our health care infrastructure, so are the ways our national security is being endangered, so are the attacks on our core freedoms.

Abhorrent. Cowardly. Disgraceful. I've never needed their services and couldn't afford them if I did, but to anyone to whom they provide legal counsel, fire Paul Weiss. They don't fight for themselves, why would they fight for you?
It is a sad day for the legal industry. Paul Weiss, didn't just bend a knee, it set a new standard for shameful capitulation. This is a stain on the firm, every one of its partners, and the entire legal profession.

almost every single word that Sen. John Kennedy says about Dr. Fauci and covid in this clip is false. It's remarkable how Trumpers have concocted a completely fictional history of the pandemic.
