It's been 11 years since the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary. A year ago we spoke with author Elizabeth Williamson & the father of one of the victims, Lenny Pozner, for a 2-part podcast on the persistent conspiracy theories calling the massacre a hoax.

Why does America support Ukraine?

In 1994, Ukraine signed the Budapest Memorandum, giving up the world’s 3rd largest nuclear arsenal. In exchange, the U.S., U.K., and Russia guaranteed its sovereignty. The logic was simple: disarmament in exchange for security.

We tried to warn. And yet the press “fact checked” anyone who dared to say Trump was going to implement Project 2025—because he said he wouldn’t.

Insane.

Trump’s proposed 60% tariff on Chinese goods and 20% on all other imports would hurt the economy before any manufacturing gains could be realized. Let me break down how this would affect us immediately. 🧵👇

Now that Nazis and Proud Boys have invaded Springfield, Ohio and Trump won the election (and won the city by 150 votes) their Haitian community is already fleeing.

I'm sure the factories will just hire Nazis and Proud Boys.

Trump had a collection of Hitler speeches next to his bed. We can joke that it may be the only book he has ever read cover to cover, but it means he *studied* Hitler’s tools for commanding his audience and bringing them over to his side, tactics he has used successfully over and over again.

Looks like Nate Silvers’s prediction is getting closer as Trump is at 50% now down from 50.2% and about to drop below. This means that more than 50% voted against Trump. It wasn’t a mandate.
