Pro-Trump media went wild for a bombshell exposé claiming the Jan. 6th pipe bomber was a Capitol Police officer with CIA ties.

But now the story looks shaky, tweets are getting deleted, and the story's backers are running for cover. My @thebulwark.com newsletter: www.thebulwark.com/p/the-blaze-...

The right-wing outlet claimed to solve the Jan. 6th pipe-bomb mystery. Things quickly looked less certain.

Language buried in this shutdown “deal” allows 8 GOP Senators who tried to throw a coup, sue to get millions in taxpayer money—because Jack Smith got their phone records. THEY TRIED TO THROW A COUP. There is no excuse for any Dem supporting this. This is absolutely wrong. Full stop—Period.

The y/y rate of inflation the month Trump took office was +3.0%. The y/y rate of inflation in September was +3.0%. In what universe is this “down”?
COLLINS: When Trump says grocery prices are down, what numbers is he basing that off given it's not true?

HASSETT: Inflation is down

C: But grocery prices are up

H: Not everything. Egg prices are down. Why haven't you covered egg prices?

C: We certainly have. But grocery prices are up about 1.4%

“The President sent his lawyer to negotiate a settlement with a convicted sex trafficker to provide cushy accommodation in exchange for her silence on his participation in said sex trafficking” is a cold description of the facts of an insane story that the media doesn’t find worthy of scrutiny

"Obergefell is settled law" is to the 2028 election what "Roe is settled law" was to the 2016 election. Roe and Obergefell are supported by a majority of voters. Republicans will try hard to convince independents that Obergefell is safe, nothing to see here...just as they did with Roe in 2016 & 20.

Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.
Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.
