When it comes to the workforce, Gen Zers sometimes get a bad reputation compared to older generations.

For the most part, people understand how Mahmoud Khalil’s First Amendment Rights are being brutally violated. Then, there are… others.

Dan Bongino, the law enforcement officer who became a secret agent, then turned to far-right conservative podcasting, tried three times and failed to get into Congress, and who, like Pete Hegseth, also got media projection on Fox News, is now the appointed FBI Deputy Director.

The current political climate in the United States is exhausting to keep up with, made all the more draining by the digital public square and its endless expressions of hatred, vocal shortsightedness, and rampant misinformation.
