Kash Patel’s ‘Effin Wild’ Ride as FBI Director
In just one week in October, he ticked off his bosses with premature comments about a terror investigation and squeezed in a trip to the ‘Boondoggle Ranch’ on the bureau jet.

Bessent lies shamelessly: "We came in, we inherited a mess. We have brought the inflation down." (Prices have risen by nearly 2 percent since Trump took office.)

Messy data but I don’t think this data says what this implies - it’s good that enrollments remain mostly steady but these students were mostly already enrolled or admitted before Trump’s hatchet to higher ed. The cliff would be this year’s applications and next fall’s enrollments.
The number of foreign students in the U.S. decreased by less than 1 percent this fall, according to new federal data, despite predictions that their enrollment would plummet this year due to a crackdown by the Trump administration.
Trump’s crackdown on foreign students barely impacts enrollment, data shows
About 1.3 million students in the U.S. had active visas in October, down less than 1 percent from a year ago.

Watching a lot of the debating on X between the pro and anti-Israel right and it's really fascinating (in a very bad/sad way) to see the Jewish right and Zionist right in general face that they need to debate against Nazism becoming part of their party.

BIG NEWS: Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in as a member of Congress tomorrow.
She is likely to be the 218th vote on the Epstein discharge petition, which would force a full vote to release the Epstein files in their entirety.

The Trump administration is objectively pro-dictatorship, in the global sense.
In September, the Trump administration conducted a historic deportation flight to Iran.
We tracked down people deported on the plane.
Some are in hiding, others have fled the country.
