College journalism exposes the rot of โ€˜grown-upsโ€™ | Will Bunch Newsletter Plus a history lesson on the real โ€˜Charlotteโ€™s Web,โ€™ and fascism,

You know what media is NOT bending the knee in the Trump era? College journalists! The Harvard Crimson's brutal takedown of the lecherous ex-prez Larry Summers is just the latest example of students showing a failing 'grown-up' media how it's done

Most of us have no idea how bad it is inside ICE detention centers because they have kept it hidden. Then a truth teller shows up and says it plain.

The conditions are filthy. The treatment is inhumane. The abuse is Systematic and routine.

A reminder: Tariffs are a regressive tax. The anti-Robin Hood.

Trump's current tariff settings effectively impose a tax rate on low-income households that's roughly TRIPLE that on high-income folks. That's not the way taxes are supposed to work.

Trump doesnโ€™t have to call on House Republican to vote to release the file.

Trump can order Bondi and Patel to release the files. Tomorrow.

The question is, has he already ordered Bondi and Patel to destroy some of the files after they went through them months ago.

If Prince Andrew used Epsteinโ€™s child sex trafficking ring, he should go to jail.

If Bill Clinton used Epsteinโ€™s child sex trafficking ring, he should go to jail.

If Donald Trump used Epsteinโ€™s child sex trafficking ring, he should go to jail.

That wasnโ€™t so difficult, was it?

Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

SNAP benefits to halt in some states amid government shutdown (WASHINGTON) โ€” One of the biggest impacts of the government shutdown is about to hit tens of millions of the poorest Americans hard: the halting of a critical food assistance program.

Speaker Johnson sent Republican House members on vacation, Donald Trump is building a gilded ballroom and traveling abroad... all while Americans are losing food assistance. ruralradio.com/rrn/abc_news...
