Why do Republicans follow Fox, OAN and the like, even after Fox’s $787.5 million election-lie settlement?
Facing threats of legal action, OAN several days ago retracted a Trump story that Michael Cohen, not Trump, had an affair with adult film actress Stormy Daniels. This is not journalism. These are not isolated instances but a pattern of misinformation, disinformation and lies.

MIAMI — The five-year plan with Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro has produced two trips to the NBA Finals and three to the Eastern Conference finals.

A Palm Beach County landowner will take a few more months to refine a proposal for hundreds of new homes, a hotel, stores and more in West Delray, reacting to concerns from some residents about the plan.

Forget boring braids, it’s all about key-shaped challah this Shabbat!
Shlissel challah, Yiddish for “key challah,” is a post-Passover tradition symbolizing unlocking prosperity for the coming year. Think of it as a bread-y good luck charm!
