This is what it looks like when a news outlet thinks the job of a journalist is simply turning on the microphones.

VP debate: CBS News says Vance and Walz will have to fact-check each other

When JD Vance and Tim Walz take the stage for next week's vice presidential debate, CBS News says it will be up to the candidates, not the moderators, to fact-check each other. That was a sticking point during the two general election presidential debates heard this year. Last spring, CNN moderators did not correct any points made by Donald Trump and Joe Biden during the debate that eventually led to Biden's withdrawal from the race. But earlier this month during the only meeting so far between Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris, ABC News interjected real-time fact checks of statements made by the former president, infuriating him and his supporters.

Taylor Swift endorses — and searches for voter registration jump

The pop star’s endorsement was expected — but the timing and wording was particularly useful to Vice President Kamala Harris.

Not sure if folks are aware but India has stopped exporting rice to other countries and other asian countries are following suit. Basmati and Sona Masoori rice is really hard to find now.

For asians, not having rice is something unfathomable. Our cultures depend on it. There is no bigger wake up call than seeing rice being restricted thanks to climate change.

Emmett Brock was attacked by an LASD officer after he gave the officer "the finger" when he saw the officer berating a woman.

Then, because they're transphobic they did an invasive body inspection & charged him w/ "resisting arrest" (there was no reason for the arrest) Put him in the women's section.

Emmett's having a hard time so here is his legal fund. No one deserves this kind of treatment.
