In a subheadline, NY Times referred to Ghislaine Maxwell as (I kid you not) "The onetime employee and friend of Jeffrey Epstein." The woman is a convicted sex trafficker and Epstein's former girlfriend and procurer. Why is the paper of record whitewashing her? www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/u...

Pray for 60 Minutes. It is the most indispensable news entity we have and it is about to be overseen by someone who thinks we need to give equal weight to people who argue that the earth is flat and to people who argue that the earth is round.

Excuse me but Trump *texted* his answers to an "interview" with Jake Tapper? If Biden had done this, they would have been calling the pallbearer and Jake would have been getting a book advance to write the obituary.

These jokers probably do think Harry S Truman was woke for desegregating the military.

Trump: "We won World War 1. We won World War 2. We won everything in between. We won everything before. And all of the sudden they decide to change the name. They went woke then too, you know. Woke is a long term. Word."

We have entered the “Papers, please” era, except ICE is not asking politely. Agents are pulling people out of their beds, zip-tying them and leaving them to prove their immigration status. All this while ICE has access to technology that tracks our social media posts and our location at all times.

President Trump was met by silence as he began his Quantico address, a contrast from the rousing applause he expects at his speeches.

“I’ve never walked into a room so silent before,” Trump said. “If you want to applaud, you applaud.” wapo.st/4gSqzmS

Trump has put countless people at risk based on a conspiracy theory. He has sent the military to Portland, based on misleading footage. He has accused the FBI of a false flag operation, based on fake reports. He has placed Americans in jeopardy by peddling snake oil cures based on fake AI footage.

They flew our top military brass in to witness the horror in person: our Secretary of Defense/War is a cosplaying disgrace and our commander-in-chief is so senile that Jake Tapper better drop everything he is doing and start writing the book on it right now.

The shooter at the MI church had a Trump flag outside his house, so corporate media will a) portray him as mentally ill, while forgoing mention of his political views and b) drop the whole thing quickly, because suddenly the lives of these churchgoers will deserve less coverage than Charlie Kirk.
