It was brought to our attention that Lake America was erroneously labeled as Lake “Ontario” on our website.
We have corrected this mistake and apologize for deadnaming the lake.

The Republican cases are more mixed: election/voting irregularities, domestic violence, property damage, and drug trafficking.
Charges are allegations.
Presumption of innocence applies until proven otherwise.
Just thought you might wanna know…

RFK Jr. wants to prove healthy eating doesn't have to be expensive — and he's launching a new cooking show to make his case.
The HHS secretary's new government-backed series, "The Real Food Show," is looking to help families make healthy meals for under $5 per serving with simple, budget-friendly recipes as part of President Trump's Make America Healthy Again agenda.
In an interview ahead of the show's launch, Kennedy said many Americans wrongly believe healthy food costs more than fast food.
"Fast food is not less expensive. That meal costs $12 to $14. People can eat a lot cheaper at home and a lot better food. But many Americans have forgotten how to cook. It's becoming a lost art."

All these Europeans are complaining that Americans are suggesting improvements to soccer.
Improving things constantly is why American GDP is $30T and you still have no AC in 2026.
In our own sports, we've fixed overtime rules in the NFL, flopping rules in the NBA, and added the pitch clock in the MLB, all in the last few years.
Adapt or die.

Please call, tag and share.
Let @LeaderJohnThune know that we see what he’s doing.
He is the paid influencer not the American people.
Ask him to reconsider and pass the SAVE AMERICA ACT.
We’re mad as hell and we’re not going to take it anymore!

Turns out that @LeaderJohnThune was totally projecting when he said the SAVE Act was an influencer campaign.
Senator John Thune is compromised by a company that literally exists to sell access to himself.
Pass it on.
Hello, Mr. Desiderio,
Punchbowl News sells access to Capitol Hill for corporate clients. Their senior Senate reporter is you, Andrew Desiderio.
Here's how the access works: Punchbowl has a weekly show called "Fly Out Day," taped at the Punchbowl News Townhouse and described on their own site as an "exclusive first look" for Premium subscribers. Those Premium subscribers are the K Street corporate government affairs staff and trade association officials whose legislative interests depend on what Senate leadership decides to schedule… or kill.
The second-ever guest was Senate Majority Leader John Thune, on September 11, 2025. This is documented in your own webste.
Now let’s go over your post carefully.
You say Mike Lee "primed the GOP base to believe" something. That’s manipulative framing, the language of a man working a crowd. But Thune "pointed out" something. That’s the language of a man correcting the record, establishing fact.
This is not a one-off phrasing choice on your part.
Your Punchbowl coverage consistently frames Thune's positions as institutional reality and conservative alternatives as base management. Thune "declared" that the talking filibuster is dead. Lee and his allies "captivated Trump's base." Thune "had enough." The SAVE Act push is "a self-inflicted wound." These are not neutral verbs. They are a point of view… and it's Thune's point of view, delivered with a byline.
There's a structural reason this happens.
Jake Sherman described Punchbowl's business model in his own words on The Rebooting podcast (January 2022): nearly 90% of the outlet's revenue comes from corporate sponsorships… "trade groups and companies looking to get their public affairs messaging in front of those making public policy." The sponsors documented at Punchbowl include PhRMA, ExxonMobil, Chevron, Facebook, JPMorgan, Blackstone, the American Investment Council (private equity lobby), and others.
These sponsors need the goodwill of the Senate Majority Leader, who controls which of their legislative priorities come to the floor. Thune controls the floor. Thune sits in Punchbowl's townhouse. You reports Thune's framing as conventional wisdom.
When Desiderio writes that the talking filibuster "will ultimately fail" ... not might fail, not Thune argues it will fail, but when it ultimately fails ... is that journalism? Or is it the view from Thune's Fly Out Day chair?
You are busted, Mr. Desiderio.
