This political lawfare needs to stop. On both sides. I critized @CAgovernor for his recent @FoxNews lawsuit & @POTUS case against @WSJ is even worse. These cases waste judiciary time & both men can amply use their bully pulpit to properly respond. politico.com/news/2025/07/1…
For over 14 years, people have speculated about why my father @isaachayes left South Park. I’m here to set the record straight. My dad did not quit South Park. Scientology did. After the episode “Trapped in the Closet” aired in 2005, my father suffered a stroke just a few…
