A letter obtained by NBC News says action is pending because of Fox’s alleged "conspiracy and subsequent actions to defame Mr. Biden and paint him in a false light."

If #cnn , #msnbc and #foxcorporation spent half as much time reporting on the #hostages as they do #sympathy #terrorists extracting demands from everyone, we might have rescued the #hamas hostages by now.

No, no, no. Comparing the campus protests in the 60’s and the campus protests today is like comparing apples and hedgehogs.

We protested the war in Vietnam because our country was boots on the ground. We lost friends, fathers, husbands, brothers, and sons.

The US is not involved in the war in Gaza. We have no vested interest. It is not our war. The students, particularly at #Columbia, are being incredibly selfish.

There is no genocide in Gaza

When corporations raise prices, why is it we blame workers fighting for wages high enough to pay their bills, but don't blame the CEOs taking home record millions in pay packages?

Columbia University on Monday began suspending pro-Palestinian activists who refused to dismantle a tent encampment on its New York City campus after the Ivy League school declared a stalemate in talks seeking to end the polarizing protest.

A good friend just found out that genetic material she stored 5 years ago before starting to transition was destroyed 4 years ago by the company, Legacy, and they kept charging her for storage until they notified her last week about what they'd done, and in the meantime told her that everything was fine and being handled correctly. Just in case any y'all were thinking about this.

Trump and Netanyahu are in the same murderous rightwing camp.

Yeah, those stories.

Well, while those lies were being told, turns out that the Republicans telling them actually WERE spilling blood — as if the very thing they accuse someone else of is what they are doing.

Take Kristi Noem, who's said to be on Trump's VP list, and who now reveals she shot a 14-month-old puppy and with her blood thirst not sated by that cruel action, she turned her gun to a goat after that.

Adrian Horton reviews the new documentary "Bad Faith," tracking the rise of Christian nationalism in US politics today. As the film notes, Christian nationalist ideas have always been there in US culture, but they're on steroids today.

The current pseudo-religious political movement got underway with the formation of the Moral Majority by Republican strategist Paul Weyrich in the 1970s.

I've seen enough episodes of Supernatural to know this means that self-driving cars are powered by demons.

‘Dark Brandon strikes again!’

Apparently President Biden is giving a live interview to Howard Stern but not to the NYT citing ‘biased reporting’.

This is both savvy and truthful!
