So we needed to start another war in Middle East because of a fictitious claim that a country possessed a weapon of mass destruction? At least we’ve never made that mistake before. bsky.app/profile/atru...

She died covering war for Fox News. Her parents blame the network — and a star reporter
The family members of two Fox News journalists killed while covering the war in Ukraine are suing the network, saying it put getting the story ahead of its people.

6. By six votes. Don't think for one second your vote doesn't matter. Your vote could be the difference between decent, thoughtful, smart representation and whatever messed up plan the Republican party has in mind. Friends and family and Iowa? Give 'em a call. Let them know what you know.

It's revealing that Vance calls Epstein "a creep." Really, that's all he was? It's revealing that Trump dismisses a question about the Cornell scandal, saying he's sure Cornell will do what's right. Being a Trumpist means not taking sexual assault--not taking rape--seriously.
