Amid all the Kirk news, did you miss the news that Lisa Cook is innocent?

Yes, that's right. The black woman that trump tried to fire from the Fed for mortgage fraud did not submit papers claiming what his flunkie said she did. In fact, according to Reuters, she claimed her second home as a vacation home not a primary residence.

The corporate media does not seem interested in corrected the record, at least not at the same volume and frequency as they repeated the bogus charges against Ms. Cook. As Joyce Vance put it, her reputation was "dragged through the mud" and the average person is not even going to hear that she was exonerated.
