MacFarlane: Fox is platforming Abdul El-sayed because it seems to do well for their ratings. It engages their audience. People on Fox seem to want to hear from him. It's not necessarily the case that they want to hear extemporaneous remarks at rallies right now from Trump.

Nothing else is working so they're just calling democrats Gay and Trans at this point. Just literally exposing that the only thing they have left to motivate their voters is hate and fear.
notable -- Fox News hasn't mentioned Trump's transphobic attack on Annie Andrews a single time. Not once. And they cover a lot of his Truth Social posts.
Almost like they're trying to protect their audience from learning the true depth of his depravity.

Could be some good reasons the US Constitution doesn't authorize one person to take the country to war on a whim.
“The primary reason that diesel and other refined products aren’t making it out of the Middle East is that refineries across the region, in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Iraq and elsewhere, are down following missile strikes and other outages stemming from the war.”
The scramble is on for diesel, while damaged refineries and tight fuel supplies keep prices elevated around the world.
