Who Paid for the Super Bowl ICE Ad?

/

On Sunday during the Super Bowl, you may have encountered a particularly saccharine bit of propaganda: a pro-ICE ad describing agents from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement as “friends” and “neighbors”—local heroes, deporting “violent criminals” from the homeland. (Only 14 percent of those arrested by ICE, according to CBS News, have been charged with violent […]

The Biggest Thing Missing from TPUSA’s Halftime Show: Joy

/

Turning Point USA’s “All-American Halftime Show,” an event created to compete with Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance, was an all-around bummer.

But what exactly took place […]

/

As disease researchers around the country received letters last year that their grants had been cancelled, National Institutes of Health (NIH) director Jay Bhattacharya declared his agency was merely clearing out the clutter.
