Hey NYT. "Underage girls" are CHILDREN: "Several Trump allies... conceded that the investigation was an effort to shift attention from messages in the trove that suggested the president knew far more about Mr. Epstein’s abuse of underage girls..." shorturl.at/L1j2t

Politico is running cover for Trump’s propaganda machine — letting anonymous sources frame Democrats as the only ones with something to hide. Everyone who broke the law should be prosecuted. But first, we deserve to know whether the president is one of them. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...
‘Democrats are going to come to regret this’: After Epstein vote, Trump ready to attack

They're so afraid Mamdani is gonna win -- that this is the best "attack" they can come up. Most brown folks would call their father's cousin -- who is most likely older than Mamdani -- their "aunt." It's a sign of respect. You should try it, Sen. Cruz.

Ted Cruz claims MSNBC used old footage to portray a large crowd at this weekend's No Kings protest... except they didn't. The footage showing a MASSIVE crowd in Boston was 100% real & from Saturday. The only other question is, why is he lying about something so simple? www.snopes.com/fact-check/m...

While millions are returning home from protesting against Trump's authoritarian regime, his government is working to undermine the ceasefire -- which Israel has violated dozens of times already -- by claiming Hamas was/is about to attack Palestinians. Suddenly, Palestinian lives matter?

There is ZERO evidence, effort or support to make Sharia into law anywhere... Muslims account for less than 1% of the US population & couldn't make it law even IF they wanted to. These men have no business serving in Congress. Fine is up for re-election & Tuberville is running for AL gov next year.

What you're not hearing enough of today: FIVE children are among the Palestinian hostages and prisoners released by Israel today... and 77 Palestinians disappeared after 10/7 died in Israeli prisons. www.aljazeera.com/features/202...
Who are the Palestinian captives Israel released?
Israel is releasing nearly 2,000 Palestinians, political prisoners and detainees. Here's a look at who they are.

Thomas is 100% right. There's no law (yet) that a news network has to put proven liars on the air to lie to their audience. If a network thinks it needs to put Vance on because he's VP, the network needs to make the defense of truth so aggressive that Vance ends the interview and flees.
Blame him for being an asshole, a conman, and a liar…
But realize there’s another person there who is letting him lie.
Until this acquiescence to the firehose of lies stops, we’re all fucked.
Hold media accountable.

WELKER: During the 2019 shutdown when Trump was president, no federal workers were laid off. Why are these firings necessary?
VANCE: Who do we care more about- federal bureaucrats or the troops getting the payment they need?
WELKER: But layoffs are a priority?
VANCE: They have forced us to choose

Peace is achieved through diplomacy. Cooperation. Compromise. Justice. Accountability.
Peace through "strength" says, "We define the terms. Surrender or face punishment."
It's a threat, a reminder that the consequences of resisting will make them regret they dared to stand up for themselves.

What a show... Trump & Netanyahu claimed nearly a dozen countries have already agreed to their "peace plan," but ended their press conference refusing to take questions because "it wouldn't be right" until everyone agrees. They want all of the power and none of the responsibility.

How the F do you write an article like this claiming "Aid has become a key tool for both sides in the war" without mentioning that Israel won't let in baby formula, blocked aid for more than 70 days & 100+ people, including 80 children, have been starved to death as a result? HOW? shorturl.at/bGmnv
