Climate change is coming for your beer
Rising temperatures and drought threaten hop and barley—two out of four of beer’s essential ingredients. That means climate change could soon alter the delicate flavor balance of your favorite game-time beverage. https://t.co/6AHe5w8W8X

Swastikas are now "potentially divisive"
Exclusive: The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols. The military service drafted a new policy that classifies them as “potentially divisive.”

As far as billionaires go, Buffet seems like a good dude
Last week, at 95, Warren Buffet went dark. He’s finally stepping back in January of next year, and passing the baton to his successor, Greg Abel. In his final shareholder letter as CEO, he said something that I suspect I’ll be thinking about… for a long, long… long time.

🚨Trump’s spiritual adviser just got arrested for molesting a 12-year-old. Read that again. The same movement screaming “protect the children” is stacked to the ceiling with predators, enablers, and men who treat power like a shield against accountability. And Trump keeps

If Trump wanted the Epstein files released, he could order it today. Instead he'll count on the Senate rejecting the bill or will veto it if it reaches his desk.

There are many questions that need to be answered about the Trump assassination attempt. But this @mirandadevine @nypost story doesn't explain who her anonymous source is or their qualifications, nor does it show any screenshots or evidence of these new social media accounts.

The saddest truth of our age is that many have no curiosity about history, culture, the world around them. We numb ourselves with gambling & games when all the riches of knowledge are available to us. The greatest joy you can know in this life is to maintain a blazing fascination

The New Yorker story is chilling: shutting down USAID has already killed 600,000 people, most of them children. For no reason other than Elon Musk’s ego, Marco Rubio’s complicity, & Republican Members of Congress’ cult-like loyalty to Trump. Devastating. https://t.co/09PYFSEuHV

The fact that the American president’s former best friend is helping Russia blackmail the president should be a far bigger story than it is. It should be on the front page of every major news outlet

This is cool. COURIER has created a searchable database with all 20,000 of the files just released from Epstein’s estate. Trump's name appears in them more than anyone else, in 1,628 documents. https://t.co/EAqRoi5zN2

It is hilarious to me that all these emails came out as the GOP’s indignant response to three emails released the Dems. A huge own goal
Our deep dive into the recesses of Epstein's inbox found repeated instances of him seeking to exploit his Trump relationship. "I am the one able to take him down," Epstein wrote in December 2018. 🎁🔗 @nickconfessore @SteveEder

About 16.4 million Americans served in the Armed Forces in World War II. In 2025, there are approximately 45,000 who are still alive, according to the National WWII Museum. These are some of their stories: https://t.co/oCXBQwmwkx

This story is thinner than a 90s supermodel. A church newsletter has higher editorial standards. I can only assume this story was not vetted by any editor or lawyer. The Blaze is going to be sued out of existence.

The right-wing outlet claimed to solve the Jan. 6th pipe-bomb mystery. Things quickly looked less certain.
