People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative.

Trump's pick for surgeon general misrepresented where she went to medical school, her board certifications and more. Trump's announcement called her a proud graduate of U Arkansas's medical school. She wasn't.

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today.
