About Teen Vogue,
I don't read or care much for a lot of mainstream media, but Teen Vogue is the only consistent non-Native media outlet that has always done an incredible job reporting on Native issues and giving our talent a platform to shine and not just to fill their "diversity" quota.

Can I also just say, again, that the Biden admin under no circumstances committed to โ€œleft-wingโ€ migration policy, in any way, shape, or form. I want Douthat to articulate what specific policies he thinks are included in that, because I think he seriously misunderstands the policies at issue.

So there were some AI-generated videos that purported to show Black women ranting about SNAP benefits, and... Fox News is reporting on this like these are real people. They're not! They're AI!

This is truly insane. Total unreality. www.foxnews.com/media/snap-b...

A Sex and the City reboot, gender swapped and set in Edwardian rural England, with animal characters. Call it Sex in the Willows. Mr Toad is Samantha, Badger is Miranda, Mole is Charlotte, and Rat is obviously Carrie.

This is still the thing that scares me most right now. Generally, I think the National Guard would actually be less violent and abusive than what weโ€™re seeing from ICE and CBP. But Hegseth and his underlings would be hand-picking these teams.

Patel's girlfriend performed at Penn State last weekend. A government jet arrived at State College Regional Airport, according to its FAA registration, with an address listing the FBI HQ. The plane then flew to Nashville, where his girlfriend lives.

All on the taxpayerโ€™s dime.

WOW! The Washington Post obtained the rest of the body cam footage showing that the drunk-driving ICE agent promised to check if the arresting officer's partner was Haitian. "Iโ€™m going to run some checks when I get back." He added that he would have him deported if "not legit."

Judge rules Trumpโ€™s U.S. attorney in Los Angeles is serving unlawfully This marks the third disqualification of a Trump-appointed prosecutor. The Justice Department is expected to appeal the decision.

A federal judge ruled that President Trumpโ€™s acting U.S. attorney in Los Angeles has been โ€œunlawfully serving in that role,โ€ marking the third time a court has disqualified one of the administrationโ€™s top prosecutors.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. Iโ€™m not backing down, and weโ€™re going to win.
