STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Nearing the end this. Highly recommend it. The beginning of the final chapter seems particularly relevant in this moment.

Because games don’t exist in isolation we’ve introduced Sidequests, the new section of the magazine where you’ll find writing on everything from bands like Castle Rat through to fantasy inspired art exhibitions by artists like Jean Jullien…

Conservatives in the 90s: We should cut government funding for higher ed and let them operate more like companies.

<Universities adapt to a more corporate system, substantially increasing costs>

Conservatives today: Academia is broken, so the government should fix it by dictum!

Don Moynihan @donmoyn.bsky.social · 3d

Does this make more sense?

headline adjusted to read: Academia is Broken. Trump University Can Help Fix it

The richest portions of the US population will find a way to come out on top but generally speaking our economy is in much worse shape than during the housing market crash or the dot come bubble. I don’t think we’ll be able to absorb it the same way. The upcoming crash is gonna be rough for us

UPS says it is destroying parcels sent to US customers because the Trump administration is failing to process or clear the parcels through customs. In essence, no one can figure out what the applicable tariff rules are and how they are to be applied—amidst a deluge of contradictory tweets from Trump

The president’s tariff policy has seen countless packages getting lost in customs.

As a protest optics nerd love about the inflatables is how much they visually disrupt and pull focus from the fascist shock imagery Noem & Miller are trying to create.

So many of these photos now look like the world's silliest dance party, backgrounded by a bunch of guys in uniform looking awkward

Happening now: we're at the Broadview ICE facility outside Chicago.

CCSO + Broadview police are telling protesters + press they can't stand on the west side of 25th Street for any reason.

We asked what the precise public safety issue is. They just said they're anticipating cars coming through.

I’ve had quite a few international orders that I’ve shipped (from the US) that have been returned for seemingly no reason. I’ll just reprint the same label and send it again and more of the time it works. Which is insane

The IDF uses online visual resources to fabricate whole city blocks and manufacture military propaganda while major news networks of the world fall all over each other to share it without question. Who needs AI when you can just pay a graphics design team to paint an entire population as terrorists?

"Much of this material consisted of outright falsehoods – e.g. the widely circulated animation alleging that Hamas operated a command centre beneath Al-Shifa Hospital. No such facility was found, but it was used to destroy almost the entire healthcare system in Gaza" www.972mag.com/israeli-army...

An analysis of dozens of Israeli army animations discovered digital assets sourced not from classified intelligence but commercial libraries and content creators.

incredible investigation by @972mag.com
