In this segment, Senator Schmitt insists he knows nothing about a major scandal, goes on an extended rant filled with lies and smears, insults Stephanopolous and his show directly, and is generally a preening asshole.

Yet I’m sure they’ll welcome him back for more.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Do you support the pardon of the former Honduran president?

SCHMITT: I'm not familiar w/ the facts or circumstances

S: What do you mean you're not familiar? It's been front page news

SCHMITT: You spew Democrat talking points every single week, which is why your ratings are so bad

I hope when the word starts to hold the US accountable these ppl are at Nuremberg, just like they did for Sadaam, and the Nazis.
WELKER: Is there any hard evidence showing this particular boat was headed to the US?

TOM COTTON: That didn't come up in my briefing

WELKER: Are you comfortable having the US target a boat that you're not sure is heading to the US?

COTTON: I'm not just comfortable with it -- I want to continue it

Smugglers, money launderers and sanctioned people once relied on diamonds, gold and artwork. Now, criminals have a far more practical alternative: stablecoins, a cryptocurrency tied to the U.S. dollar that exists largely beyond traditional financial oversight.

And … fuck you in advance. Maybe y’all should start making friends with the truth.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

What a surprise-after posting yesterday that there was very little about Prescott or Hanover Communications online, @bylinetimes.bsky.social have been doing some digging and guess what? The so called independent advisor to the BBC is anything but…
🔴 The Pro-Trump Bias of the ‘Neutral’ Sources in the Leaked BBC ‘Prescott Dossier’

Byline Times’ analysis of key sources in the memo about the BBC’s alleged ‘progressive bias’ shows it relied on highly partisan, Trump-aligned organisations.

LOCAL ELECTION RESULT:

Let me congratulate @zysaidso.bsky.social for her election to the Charlottesville School Board.

For those wondering: Zyahna Bryant was a student organizer who led the successful fight in removing two confederate statues from downtown Charlottesville.

America has no idea what's about to hit them. "Young Republicans" are fully steeped in neo-Nazi edge lord talking points. Fuentes is the present and future of the GOP. After Trump, this is the new form of MAGA. The establishment isn't built for this fight.

Trump’s America.
According to a complaint filed in federal court after the incident, a federal agent violated an existing court order (against using excessive force on journalists and demonstrators) by pointing a gun in a veteran’s face, saying “Bang, bang” and “You’re dead, liberal.” trib.al/rTk2Z8c

Kamala Harris: It is about reminding folks that we refuse to kneel at the foot of a tyrant. That's not what we do. We stand for the principles upon which our nation was founded. We believe in the power of the vote, and we are prepared when necessary to fight fire with fire.

lol. These are the ppl tasked with protecting the communities. Wonder if Trump and Hegseth’ll be dropping bombs on them. Or are they just trying to start wars with a foreign country.

Bari Weiss is the shitstain dogs leave on the rug after they drag their asses across it.
"...a male correspondent was initially included on the layoff list but was removed after he appealed directly to the new editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss, leading to another female correspondent being added to the list at the last minute."
CBS News fired 8 on-air personalities in latest layoffs. All of them are women
EXCLUSIVE: Multiple sources told The Independent that senior foreign correspondent Debora Patta was added to the layoff list following a last-minute change by editor-in-chief Bari Weiss.

"Gilded Rage" isn’t simply a rehash of existing reportage. What separates it from other writeups, and where his it truly shines, is its attempt to get at the root of Silicon Valley’s anti-democratic lurch. www.thebulwark.com/p/why-our-te...

Republicans control:

- The House
- The Senate
- The White House
- The Supreme Court
- Corporate Media and big tech social media platforms like TikTok and Twitter

Why can't they open the government and help Americans?

I thought they had the mandate, right?

dickerson is one of the best broadcast journalists in the game, and someone who would clearly be a real asset to a new leader interested in strengthening the network's journalism. but, of course, we know weiss isn't actually interested in journalism as such.

This is the ‘great’ America Trump keeps bragging about under his presidency.
The US is seeing the largest number of layoffs since 2020, with nearly 1 million people losing their jobs so far this year.

A small price for American to pay for the tax cuts for the rich and ultra wealthy.
He may be demolishing one of the most iconic structures in American history…

But on the bright side, the billionaires he gave massive tax cuts to will have a nice ballroom to dance in.

You’re not invited, though. 🫤

And your healthcare premiums are going to skyrocket. 🤷‍♂️
