NBC editing out the booing of JD Vance is a disgrace. It’s an international event. Americans have the right to know what the world is saying. NBC has bowed down to Trump.

I would walk barefoot through the cold, dank, rat infested tunnels under the Hudson rather than disembark at something called Trump Penn Station.

Trump Station? Trump Airport? What the president asked for in exchange for releasing frozen Gateway Tunnel funds, reports say
President Donald Trump froze billions for the project during a dispute with Democrats last year. Construction is set to stop Friday.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

The headline should be, "DHS to keep 2,000 immigration officers in Minnesota."
Instead, it seems the entirety of the traditional media went with, "DHS to withdraw 700 immigration officers from Minnesota."
This presser worked like a charm.
