You know what media is NOT bending the knee in the Trump era? College journalists! The Harvard Crimson's brutal takedown of the lecherous ex-prez Larry Summers is just the latest example of students showing a failing 'grown-up' media how it's done

"If the onions ain't hit, you must acquit"
The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.

"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks.

"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

Guy who tried to overturn a fair election and deprive Pennsylvanians of their votes thinks others "hate the military".
Perry should be sharing this idiocy with a cell mate, not a podcaster.

“Praise Jesus.”
Hi there. We're the Republican Party. Our policies are such that without voter suppression, gerrymandering and a gutting of civil rights legislation, we couldn't stay in power. And, oh yeah, if you do somehow manage to win an election on the merits, we won't swear you in to serve.

Best of luck.

An ice sculpture of the word “Democracy” has been placed on the National Mall in direct view of the U.S. Capitol as a vanishing reminder, its creators said, of rapidly eroding rights and an existential threat to the freedom on which America was founded.
On the National Mall, ‘Democracy’ drips in daylight
Ben Cohen, of Ben & Jerry’s, helped bring a 3,000-pound ice sculpture to the capital as a warning that “democracy is melting away before our very eyes.”

The documentary based on Peter Harnik's book, From Rails to Trails, is now available to stream on the PBS App and at buff.ly/Cc73ftC! It tells the story of a 60-year struggle to convert abandoned railroads into trails for cycling and walking. Enjoy!

Jimmy Rollins is right, and Nick Castellanos is a goner. Let's see how he feels about playing in Sacramento.

Trump Administration: ”You bitched about the cost of food at the grocery store, so what’s a little listeria when you‘re saving a dollar per frozen meal? Whiny bitches.”
Hey remember when the CDC dropped 6 of the 8 foodborne illnesses from the nationwide monitoring system in July and one of them was listeria? Mentioning for no particular reason www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

The idiocy of the #GOP funding cuts aside, @pennstateuniv.bsky.social couldn't find $3.5m/yr to keep @radio.wpsu.org.web.brid.gy going for 5 years? The largest alumni network in the world can't raise that amount to save critical media and emergency services?

It should have been the lead story in every paper in America: A president all but declaring war on the 3rd-largest US city

But there's an even better angle to the Chicago story. Leaders, everyday people aren't having it. Trump picked the wrong fight
