This is the real reason Jimmy Kimmel is being taken off the air.

Brian Stelter: "Nexstar already owns lots of TV stations. It wants to merge with Tegna, which owns lots of other stations. In order to do that, it needs Brandon Carr, the FCC Chair's, permission."

Instead of the angry finger-pointing, can we just for one day agree that it is horrible and monstrous to shoot another human? On behalf of my family, we send love to the Kirks and to all the children, parents and innocents who fall victim to senseless gun violence.

Rural America is suffering an economic crisis as crop prices plunge — 'U.S. soybean farmers cannot survive a prolonged trade dispute' "Prices continue to drop and at the same time our farmers are paying significantly more for inputs and equipment."

None of this is true

“Trump deploys national guard to D.C. to guard the Epstein files”

Hello journalists. If you report this you gotta say that under the Constitution he has no power to do it. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Another wild scoop on NPR from @tomdreisbach.bsky.social: Video shows a man on Jan. 6 shouting for the crowd to kill police: “Kill ‘em!” He admitted saying it.

One of Trump’s first acts in office was to cancel his trial and hire him for a job at the Justice Department.

Trump cuts threaten access to birth control for millions of women Birth control is routine for many Americans and polls show it's popular across party lines. Now, the Trump administration is withholding funds that provide contraception for low income people.

WCPSS among the nation’s biggest losers in Trump’s effort to cut school spending, US Reps say U.S. Reps. Deborah Ross and Valerie Foushee are asking the Trump administration to un-freeze funding for North Carolina, saying Wake County public schools are being hit especially hard.

Parents, teachers, and students will suffer if Trump withholds this education funding.

I'll keep fighting alongside @foushee.house.gov to make sure NC students have the support they need.
