A school-privatization activist and frequent Fox News guest whose work has been praised by former President Donald Trump was placed on leave by his conservative nonprofit employer after reports that he had appeared in gay pornography videos surfaced. A person who resembles DeAngelis and performs under the name “Seth Rose” appears in at least three gay adult films on the pornography site GayHoopla dating to 2014. The existence of the videos was first reported last week by the blog Str8 Up Gay Porn, which shares gay porn and articles about sex. In more recent years, he has become a fierce advocate of “school choice,” which subsidizes private schools with public dollars. “It’s just so strange how the far left is so obsessed with inserting sexual topics into elementary schools,” DeAngelis said in the segment.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Carl Nassib dreamed of a different kind of social media app for years — one that celebrates positivity and community. Details of the investment were not released, though Financial Finesse Ventures said their typical investment ranges from $500,0000 to $1.5 million for a minority stake. “These kids were in really, really desperate need and the most moving part about it was they were half a mile from where we went to work every day,” he added. Social media platforms are going through a rough patch, between Elon Musk’s struggles with Twitter and Facebook parent company Meta laying off 11,000 workers.
