Fayetteville, Arkansas, #NoKingsDay demonstration.

[Will Watson @willwatson]

Photo shared by Mayor Rawn of the massive hometown protest in Fayetteville. Hope that dipshit in the White House enjoys his $45MM birthday parade. Imagine if Biden did that the same week he used the military against US citizens & a new war broke out in the Middle East.

In 10 years, President Donald Trump has targeted the media nearly 3,500 times on social media — that’s about once a day.

Read about our dataset of Trump’s anti-press rhetoric and what his attacks mean for the public’s faith in the news media.

PIOs are supposed to provide a public service. Too often, though, officials use them to throttle access to timely, accurate and vital information. Also, PIOs too often serve their masters, not the public.

Did journalism take a massive turn when agencies, etc., began banning subordinates from speaking to reporters without controls on them? I have posted a decade or so worth of resources: https://t.co/TdK8Gq4tXi

On universal school lunches, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine says, "My question is, should taxpayers pay for it."

Ohio taxpayers are paying $1 billion to private and religious schools for families that never used public schools.

But paying to feed public school kids is his big concern?

The Associated Press found prison farms nationwide have supplied millions of dollars worth of crops — including soy, corn and wheat — to massive global companies like Tyson Foods, Louis Dreyfus, Consolidated Grain and Barge and Riceland Foods.

Powerful, chilling testimony from Reggie Jackson that should give pause to anyone wanting a return to a mythological past.

[Jeff Kolb @JeffKolbFOX4]

Chilling stories of enduring racism from the legendary Reggie Jackson in response to @AROD's question about returning to Rickwood Field.

"I wouldn't wish it on anybody."

Tells how people threatened to burn down the apartment he was staying at.

Beware of any Christian movement that demands the government be an instrument of God's wrath but never a source of God's mercy, generosity, or compassion.
