I know it's trite to say, but still imagine the coverage Biden would have gotten if he had made up an elaborate lie about being saved on 9/11. Astead Herndon would have a podcast specifically dedicated to the issue up by the end of the afternoon
Trump told 9/11 families that he was rescued from the rubble of the World Trade Center -- an obvious and shocking lie. Here's how the New York Times reports it.
This is like reporting George Wallace's "segregation forever" speech as "Governor speaks at inauguration. Some remarks controversial."

Scoring on a 23-play drive means letting the other team think it's stopped you like five different times. Nice try. And then you let them think you've missed the XP. Nice try

We're being told that if we sacrifice the rights of some people, then the rest of us get to keep our rights.

interesting to me that as the administration treats democratic-voting states like conquered or occupied territories, you don’t have pundits demanding the president respect “half the country”
NEW: In a stunning admission, the Trump administration admitted in court documents that it canceled billions in energy grants to states "based solely" on politics -- and whether that state was represented by Democrats and backed Harris in 2024.

Trump Administration Admits Canceling Grants to States That Did Not Vote for Him

When the boreal forests of Canada catch on fire, no one can do anything about it in many cases. The forests are part of Earth’s largest land biome, a greenbelt of wilderness that encircles the globe, and they’ve been suffering from the planet’s thermostat being jacked up.
