I guess Hegseth was sober that day

Why does it take so long for basic fucking things like this to happen that should’ve happened three years ago or more? It’s just such a low bar, and so many people can’t even jump over that.

Gaetz withdraws from DOJ nomination.

All that this reflexive contrarianism masquerading as accuracy-pilled balls-and-strikesism manages to do in the end is carry a whole lot of water for some of the worst cranks in society. It's apologia for conspiracists via bothsidesist pedantry.

Right? For people who likely throw a tantrum if they're on an airplane and see a cancer patient with a mask on 20 rows away, they sure are comfortable wearing them in public...

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is not a “skeptic” of vaccines. He has said there are no safe or effective vaccines. He is a foe of vaccines.

NPR has spent the past 3 years pushing extreme right wing Covid denialism, so this type of headline is completely normal for them. NPR is not a reputable outlet www.thegauntlet.news/p/media-cele...

It’s all happening because of capitalism. Until the left all accept that, nothing will change.

An ex-NY Times columnist and Ivy League grad interviewed a billionaire about how he, the world’s richest man, and several other billionaires helped another billionaire/Ivy League grad/real estate mogul world defeat an HBCU grad to reclaim the most powerful office in the world. The headline:
