As the dissents point out, the majority constantly contradicts its own recent decisions to fit the result they want. Ie: a HS football coach leading a Christian prayer does not violate other students religious rights, but a storybook with LGBT characters does. On some level they must know this.

We make jokes about this sometimes because itβs laughable. But when journalists try to make sense of the nonsensical, rational out of the irrational, and coherence out of the incoherence, they affirmatively do the public interest great harm.

Al Gore didnβt hold back: The Trump admin is βattacking the heart of truth,β twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, itβs all about powerβnot reality.
