Get this.
The House just passed an air safety bill.
The billionaires snuck in a provision to STOP state and local tax officials from tracking private jets.
They'll get to fly private and pay NO taxes.
This is a handout to the super wealthy—and we're going to pay for it.
BREAKING: Scott Pelley Just Made A Pretty Stunning Allegation.
According to Pelley, CBS leadership wanted a story about the killing of ICE protester Renée Good changed to better match Trump's version of events.
Pelley says he was told management wanted protesters portrayed as more violent and wanted Good described as driving toward the officer who shot her. He says the video evidence showed otherwise.
Then came the admission.
"There was a thumb on the scale for the president's version of events."
A veteran journalist with 37 years at CBS is alleging political pressure was applied to change the facts of a story.
That's a remarkable accusation.
Hegseth is now deciding which religions are officially recognized & which aren’t. This is in the context of Hegseth working overtime to make the U.S. military a Christian organization.
We have a separation of church & state for a reason. It’s unbelievably dangerous when the government picks & chooses among religions. https://t.co/moPmQEqoDD
I take it that there won’t be any introspection on the part of LDS Republicans about how tenuous their position is with the Christian Right, and why it will pay them no dividends long-term to stand with them as they tear down other religious minorities.
If you’re still blaming Biden for this, then your blame is an admission that you knew the screwworm was headed here. YET, instead of increasing screwworm prevention, you approved DOGE cutting the program that monitored screwworms, which helped prevent them from entering the U.S.
According to documents related to the defamation case filed by Dominion Voting Systems against Fox News Sean Hannity said if he thought the 2020 election was stolen.
"I did not believe it for one second."
Let's talk about a 'dishonest press,' Sean Hannity.
As Trump screamed "Comey was a dirty cop" during "Meet the Press" questions about Trump's Jan 6 lies....
We should note:
1) Comey wasn't employed by FBI on Jan 6, 2021
2) The FBI worked for Donald Trump on Jan 6, 2021
3) Trump launched the Jan 6 prosecutions on Jan 7, 2021
Trump to NBC: “First of all, I didn’t guarantee no war.” And: “So when you say I promised – I didn’t promise anything. I don’t like these endless wars. This is not an endless war.”
Reality: Trump promised in two of his highest-profile 2024 addresses not to have any wars at all, and he also made that promise in a bunch of other forums. Some examples:
June 2024 social media post: The election is “a choice between STRENGTH or WEAKNESS, COMPETENCE or INCOMPETENCE, peace and prosperity or war and no war.”
July 2024 Republican National Convention acceptance address: “With our victory in November, the years of war, weakness, and chaos will be over. I don’t have wars.”
August 2024 Pennsylvania rally: “Under Trump, we will have no more wars, no more disruptions, and we will have prosperity and peace for all.”
August 2024 North Carolina rally: Approvingly claimed Viktor Orban had said, “Make sure that Trump gets re-elected president and you're not going to have any more wars,” then added himself, “No more wars. No more disruptions. We will have prosperity and we will have peace.”
August 2024 Adin Ross interview: Boasted that he had no wars during his first term, then said, “And we won't have wars again.”
October 2024 Wisconsin rally: Did one of his numerous renditions of the Orban story: “Viktor Orban said, ‘If Trump comes back, you won't have any wars. You won't have any wars.’ And he's about as tough as they get, and he said it loud and clear and he said why. But you won't have any wars.”
November 2024 Election Night victory address: “I'm not going to start a war, I'm going to stop wars.”
That is in addition to the many times he struck similar themes without the explicit promise of having no wars period if elected again – for example, vowing to stop “endless” wars or prevent “World War III,” denouncing “warmongers,” boasting of having had “no wars” in his first term, or saying we don’t “need” wars.

President Trump told NBC's Kristen Welker that she was wrong when she said he'd promised no new wars. She was right, he was lying; he made that promise repeatedly in 2024. The evidence: https://t.co/Vcb6vttwoc
Mike Lee has promoted every form of nasty right-wing demagoguery over the last few years, and is now shocked that his faith is being treated with insufficient sensitivity.
Looks like @BasedMikeLee is getting a lesson in what it’s like for other groups who get the “you don’t belong” treatment that he so enthusiastically supports.
