1+ hour, 18+ min ago (611+ words) Garrett Graff December 02, 2025 " Reading Time: 13 minutes Back in September, after Donald Trump disappeared from view for days and the internet went wild with rumors he was dead or hospitalized, I wrote about how the press needed to be leading a more serious conversation about Trump's health and fitness for the presidency than it was having. In the months since, the evidence has only grown that something serious is afflicting Trump. And then last night happened. One of Trump's overnight postings. During that end-of-August episode, the major questions were about the president's physical health " his bruised hands and his swollen ankles " and in the months since, there have been more reasons and evidence that some part of the president is not well: He appears to have fallen asleep in meetings on multiple recent occasions, including at an Oval Office meeting.

In an interview with'The New York Times, Corn noted the complications that flow…...

3+ hour, 20+ min ago (238+ words) As a casual purveyor of youth culture, I recently became aware of the allegations leveled against the right-wing influencer Candace Owens. Some have accused her of concocting a bogus conspiracy involving Turning Point USA, the president of France, the alleged first "lady" of France, the French Foreign Legion, and a multinational assassination squad that includes at least one Jew. According to Owens, the details of the plot were relayed to her by a "high-ranking employee of the French government" who verified their identity with "concrete proof." She deemed the information "credible enough" to broadcast in a viral social media post before informing the White House and U.S. law enforcement agencies, who may or may not be involved in the plot. That all sounds pretty straightforward. Meanwhile, the people accusing Owens of lying have yet to produce any concrete proof of their…...
