I’m sorry but I really have to stand up for myself and independent media here. Everyone is crediting Ken Delanian for the Maxwell sex offender waiver story, but I was hours ahead of him. Hours. Independent media is important.

It's the big billionaires' betrayal of all the rest of us. We will pay welfare of many times more than our national average salary to the billionaires... it is an abusive scam by the new robber barons, meant to keep the majority unstable and stuck in place.

TACO is realizing how easily he is manipulated... the player got played... in New York we like to say, you can dish it, but you can't take it... Wondering what his devious Chili Pepper Spice Club is conjuring up so they won't be a dished out in the next round...

Trump is in the Hague today... that feels rather appropriate... wonder if TACO's devious Chili Pepper Spice Club all have omninous vibes...

One thing I'm looking forward to, once TACO & his chili pepper spice club are ousted from the kitchen (& held accountable for their follies) is remodeling along side new management so things are more easily accessible & serve all of us better! Out with the old & stale, in with the new & visionary.

She is a tourist from Chile, and these cops left her teenage daughter on the streets of New York City alone. Why anybody would come to this country right now blows my mind.

There is no mass-deportation campaign going on right now. Deportation is a process.

This is kidnapping and human trafficking.

Trump will distract from the chaos by adding more chaos until there is nothing but chaos.

MAGA is drunk with power, arrogance, and incompetence right now. They really are itching for a massive civil war and fascist crackdown, but they haven't gamed this out properly.

Their own base will turn.

ICE is a much greater threat to this country than illegal immigrants. The current administration ia by far the greatest threat this country faces. The problem is not st our borders. It is in the White House.

I don't buy any of the Musk is leaving antics any more than I buy Mr. TACO's claim that he is mad at Putin. All of it is a ruse to continue the status quo while everyone chases the shiny news object.

Trump, on the leader of Russia:
"Putin is tired of this whole thing and he’s not — he’s not looking good. And he wants to look good”

It's hard to imagine a more fundamental misunderstanding.
No, Putin is not "tired of the whole thing" - the war is the only thing keeping his economy going

In today’s “Wait A Damn Minute” we expose the truth about Trump’s so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”:

Trump is pulling a reverse Robin Hood - he’s taking from the poor to give to the ultra-rich.

I’m your Shadow Press Secretary and here are the facts.
