SCOOP — Gregg Phillips, a conspiracy theorist with no emergency management experience who helped produce the election-denying documentary ‘2000 Mules’ with Dinesh D’Souza and has faced numerous legal inquiries, has been named head of FEMA’s Office of Response and Recovery.

It appears that a QAnon supporter who is a member of a QAnon outlet known as "NewsTreason 17" (whose logo is a Q & name is a reference to Q being the 17th letter of the alphabet) was "admitted" into the White House yesterday & got a White House press briefing room pass.

Tim Walz and other democrats should claim that Trump’s growing dementia is causing him to verbally attack female reporters. Make the media debate whether it is Alzheimer’s or whether Trump is just an asshole.
The other reporters in the White House press corps are apparently waiting until the president actually takes a swing at one of their female colleagues before they say anything

China was the largest export market for American farmers in 2024. They bought 27 metric tons of soybeans last year. They stopped buying in 2025 when Trump started his trade war. These are simple, obvious, basic facts. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Leavitt: "President Trump convinced President Xi to continue purchasing again American soybeans, which is something China wasn't doing under the last administration because they had no respect for President Biden or the country at the time."

The hires rate was 3.2% in Oct, down from 3.4% in Sep, but unchanged from Aug.

3.2% ties the lowest post-Covid level and is comparable to sluggish hiring levels in 2013 coming out of the 2008 recession

4. Why would a U.S. private equity firm (Affinity Partners) owned by a U.S. citizen (Jared Kushner) need to waive governance rights to avoid review by the Committee on FOREIGN INVESTMENT in the U.S.?

Because Paramount knows that Kushner's company is simply a vehicle for foreign influence.

Trump again attacks a Black female reporter, ABC’s Rachel Scott, for asking about releasing the full boat strike video - which he said he would do 5 days ago

And the other journalists stay silent🐔

If you're in the White House press corps, still showing up to your job every day and not saying anything as Trump attacks your colleagues -- almost always women, I'd add -- then this is on you as well.
Reporter: “Are you committed to releasing the full video?”

Trump: “Didn't I just tell you that?”

Reporter: “You said that it was up to Sec. Hegseth.”

Trump: “You are the most obnoxious reporter in the whole place…You are an obnoxious, actually a terrible reporter.”

Appreciate the continued focus @atrupar.com's 'Public Notice' team on the overt racism spewing from the president of the United States. It is vile, Nazi stuff that is now permeating not just Trump's press gaggles but official US govt policy. More pundits & news orgs need to cover it, too.

Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.”

In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.

He seems to be suggesting that anything short of actively drowning themselves is evidence they sought to paddle their shipwreck to US to continue their mission. If true, I want an inspiring biopic of the most determined employees in human history. That'd be some serious can-do attitude.
