A case that isn’t getting the headlines it deserves: an LSU student was raped by an LSU football player. He admitted it, but the school is still letting him play football. How multiple systems have failed this young woman & why she went public to get the help she needs: youtu.be/LihN7hsNKnw?...

I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm…

Norway produces more oil than Venezuela. And yet, between January and August 2026, electric vehicles made up 97.8 percent of all new cars sold in that country. Moving to EVs is often based on intelligence, not need. Which is why it lags in the notoriously short-sighted and stupid United States.

37 more wounded troops. Added quietly. No explanation. Here's the No B.S. truth: when anyone (a vendor, a CEO, a government) revises the numbers without telling you why, the silence IS the message. 861 wounded. Their families deserve the full story.

IDK how anyone thinks Paxton is good for Texas. 21 people were murdered in Uvalde, including 19 children. Calling that part of God’s “plan” is beyond grotesque. Some comments reveal more about a politician than any campaign ad ever could. This is one of them.

ICE officer who shot Venezuelan man in Texas was new recruit not using his body camera
The officer had previously worked at another federal law enforcement agency and joined Immigration and Customs Enforcement during last year’s hiring spree, two former Department of Homeland Security officials said. The Venezuelan man was shot after ICE officers attempted to make a traffic stop in Austin on Sunday.
