  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

In what universe is Charlie Kirk at all comparable to MLK?

Release the rest of the Epstein files. Release the Yahoo emails. Why is there a drawing of Epstein grooming children allegedly at Mar a Lago?

Every single Democrat in Senate voted to release the files. Every single Republican other than 2 voted to keep them sealed. I don't think you can "both sides" this issue right now.
