“Weaponizing the DOJ” takes on a whole new level when you order investigations in order to reopen it so it’s no longer closed and you can claim you can’t release information because it’s an “ongoing investigation”

"Homan indicated he would facilitate securing contracts for them in exchange for money once he was in office...

"On Sept. 20, 2024, with hidden cameras recording the scene at a meeting spot in Texas, Homan accepted $50,000 in bills..."

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.
The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

Thank you Antoinette. This happens with so many things more often than we realise.

Like the freely used word: "terrorists".

Don't ask who the terrorist is - ask yourself who's writing the headline.

How are they going to run a one-hour tribute if they're scared of quoting him? Will they just dub over the original audio?

"Haiti is infested with DELICIOUS CUISINE. Their migrants are FEEDING your women and DELIVERING YOUR DOORDASH at night. They are coming for your daughter next WITH FOOD."
#BREAKING: Sinclair says it will air a one-hour tribute to Charlie Kirk on its ABC-affiliated stations in the time slot that is usually occupied for "Jimmy Kimmel Live." The special will air on Friday, per a Sinclair spokesperson.

IMPORTANT PERSPECTIVE: What I have not seen anyone discussing is that Nexstar pulling Kimmel, forcing ABC’s hand, comes as Nexstar is leading the way for the industry on trying to get FCC approval for media consolidation. www.poynter.org/business-wor...
Nexstar’s takeover of Tegna would require an overhaul of FCC ownership rules - Poynter
The proposed sale would exceed the FCC’s 39% cap, igniting debate among broadcasters, unions and press groups

SNL should run a normal show, with the slight addition that every sketch has three or four men dressed up like ICE agents and FCC officials standing in the background looking menacing.

Maybe they disappear Colin Jost in the middle of Weekend Update too.

it's so funny to see America's health insurance companies be like "look. If there's one thing we love it's denying you care. but we ran the numbers - and we cannot BELIEVE we're saying this - and it's cheaper for us to just pay for the vaccines than deal with you going to the ER."
Regardless of the disgraceful nonsense we will likely hear from this administration in the coming days on vaccine “recommendations,” Americas healthcare insurers issued a joint statement tonight saying coverage for Covid and flu shots will remain unchanged from prior years.

Speaks for itself.

@npr.org one-upping itself this morning by not only having Kirk’s personal friend on as a neutral expert on his “free speech” legacy, and also letting him gloss the “Professor Watchlist” as “holding a mirror up to academia,” not as a well-documented tool of harassment for speech. At least they asked

These deaths are a real feather in the cap of Brian Kilmeade and Fox News.
FOX news host suggests we euthanize the homeless, someone goes into two encampments and starts shooting.

13 people shot and Jacob Frey and the media are just talking about it as the new best reason to clear the encampments
'We're shutting this thing down': 8 shot at Minneapolis homeless encampment hosted by landlord, Frey pledges action
That shooting came less than 12 hours after another shooting just two miles away that left five others injured.

The UN Commission is very clear.

It concludes on reasonable grounds that the Israeli state is committing genocide.

That's because of the incitement of genocide, statements of intent, and the pattern of conduct.

It is over for the genocide deniers.

Even the BBC is now splashing on the UN commission of inquiry concluding that Israel has committed genocide.

Those who supported Israel's onslaught:

You backed a genocide.

You will never scrub the shame away.

This is the most intense tsunami footage I've ever seen.

It purportedly shows the tsunami from the 29 July Mw 8.8 quake in Kamchatka, Russia, filmed in that same region.
