Hot take: I don't think social media made people dumber. We've been dumb this whole time. It's just that you used to have to have a job that people sent their dumb letters to, to notice. This made "Engaging with fools" an occupational hazard rather than the 24/7 experience it is presently.

Please, for the love of God, can the media stop calling random cranks who write fan fiction about their personal heroes in the past "historians."

Geoff Shepard, a former Nixon aide turned Watergate historian and revisionist, recently gave a two-hour presentation at Justice Department headquarters that laid out his theory that the deep state took Nixon down. The title of his 78-page slide deck: “Watergate As Lawfare.”

Reminder: SNAP has an outstanding ROI. Every dollar spent toward SNAP generates $1.54 in economic activity. SNAP cuts didn’t get the attention that Medicaid cuts understandably did, but they were massive and will prove deeply harmful to millions of Americans’ food security — and to local economies.

Decades of harm: New York schools named in nearly 2,000 child sex abuse claims. A law that opened a window for survivors to seek justice for past abuse also exposed how schools enabled alleged predators.

ok gonna get Sincere(TM) here for a second There's a lot of doomerism about how "We're all cooked" because "The GOP is trying to steal our votes." So here's the true story of how the GOP tried to steal our votes here in NC and FAILED. TWICE. Ballot fraud isn't final. It gets stopped all the time.
