    Nothing to see here. Just the vice president meeting in secret with the heads of major media networks amid one of the biggest media scandals in recent history. Definitely not the White House trying to influence the press at all in order to control what people see and hear.

    I went from being neutral and just wanting Americans to stay out of the war to now being against Ukraine. People think the J6 “insurrection” was bad? A foreign flag is being flown inside the US Capitol while a foreign leader makes demands of the American people on American soil.

    If this doesn’t end with people like Jack Dorsey and Yoel Roth in jail, we aren’t serious. I don’t want viral clips of Ted Cruz popping off his boot and putting it on the counter. I want libs like Roth in a jumpsuit behind bars

    It really feels like Millennials were the last people who got a largely apolitical high school experience. I don’t remember anything political, just a bubble of blissful ignorance. “Jackass” and Blink-182 were popular. The main concern was asking out your crush.

    This is Elijah Dewitt, and he was just killed. But there will be no marches, no protests, no new laws, no $10 billion in donations, no celebrities opining for him. Because he was white and his killers were black. Maybe he should have been a fentanyl addict like George Floyd.

    My wife is confused because my friend who I haven’t spoken with in two years messaged me “hey man” and we just picked up where we left off like no time had passed—do women not do this

    The fight over the speakership in the House is the first time in a long time that anyone in this country has tried to hold a member of the political class like Kevin McCarthy accountable. Everyone should be behind these Republican holdouts. open.substack.com/pub/contra/p/s…
