Trump gets the most generous press of any American in US history and there’s no close second
try to imagine the media firestorm if the military was conducting strikes and obama, clinton, or biden said "i dont know anything about it" and how the media just shrugs at trump saying the same thing.
talking to reporters last night, Trump claimed of Hegseth's double tap strike that "I don't know anything about it," then moments later claimed "I don't who you're talking about" when asked his plan to pardon the former Honduran president

It is actually interesting that the Republican Party brand is already so toxic that they are trying to seed spoiler candidates to help incumbents win in tight races.
The whole "we're using AI to overturn the two-party duopoly" thing is an obvious smokescreen. NPR ought to be able to see through it.

“One person is an autocratic president of the university for decades” certainly wasn’t a flawless system but it’s clear that “admins hop from job to job scaling the career ladder by filling their CV with ‘accomplishments’ that are expensive burdens to the schools they leave behind” is even worse.
