@Tim_Walz It was literally DAYS AGO the US Attorney confirmed the fraud is $9 BILLION or more.

It was just DAYS ago Nick Shirley got it on video.

You should stop telling people to ignore their eyes and ears, Tim, and RESIGN. You also deserve to be put on trial for your complicity.

🚨#BREAKING: Western North Carolina high-school students have been using their carpentry class to build tiny homes for victims of Hurricane Helene, for 15 months.

They have now delivered their first home to a 75 year old cancer survivor for Christmas.

Absolutely incredible!

🚨NEW: Jon Stewart:

"I’ve got people in my family that are to the right of Attila the Hun. And when people tell me, like, 'How can you platform that person on your show?' I go, 'I platform my uncle every f*cking Thanksgiving.'"

"And by the way, I love him. He’s a three-dimensional human being who has qualities that I really admire — things about him."

"And we’ve lost that. We’ve lost the ability to love people because we litmus test at every point, in every single moment."

🚨 BREAKING: Secretary Marco Rubio reveals President Trump was working OVERTIME in very intense fashion to speak with Muslim countries around the clock to make peace in Gaza possible

"One day, perhaps the entire story will be told about the events of yesterday. Suffice it to say, it's not an exaggeration that NONE of it would have been possible without the President of the United States being involved."

"Perhaps the stories will be told, perhaps they will never be told, the president had some extraordinary phone calls and meetings that required a high degree of intensity and commitment and made this happen."

"It really took a turn less than a couple weeks ago, when we were at the United Nations and you convened a historic meeting, not simply of Arab countries, but of Muslim majority countries from around the world, including Indonesia was there, Pakistan was there, and created this coalition behind this."

"I don't know of any American president in the modern era that could have made this possible."

And here we have @Richard_Harambe with the most brutal reply I’ve ever seen. Sound on for your viewing pleasure

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

Bill Maher delivers a surprising moment on air as he calls out the slaughter of CHRISTIANS in Nigeria that the media refuses to cover.

“If you don’t know what’s going on in Nigeria, your media sources SUCK,” Maher said.

“You are in a BUBBLE. I’m not a Christian, but they are systematically killing the Christians in Nigeria.”

“They’ve killed over 100,000 since 2009. They’ve burned 18,000 churches… They are literally attempting to wipe out the Christian population of an entire country. Where are the kids protesting this?” he asked.

Maher’s diatribe drew a huge reaction from the crowd, and a big THANK YOU from Rep. Nancy Mace for bringing it up.

“Absolutely,” Maher responded.

[Natalie Jean Beisner @NJBeisner]

“It’s not ideal, but I have a lot of great gay friends.”

I listened to him a great deal when he was alive, but lately I have been nonstop listening to backlogs of Charlie speeches, debates, and Q&A’s. It’s been hours upon hours at this point. He wasn’t hateful whatsoever. This is him sitting down with Buck Angel, a female who presents as a man. The “debate” (if you can even call it that) was nothing but cordial.

I understand if someone is offended by the Christian belief that homosexual romantic relationships and sexual relations are sinful, but that doesn’t automatically equate to him hating gays or wanting to stone them.

The lies being spread about this man are atrocious.

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

Bill Maher issues a blunt response to the MSNBC pundit who blamed Charlie Kirk’s death on himself.

MATTHEW DOWD: “You can’t be saying these awful words and then not expect awful actions to take place.”

MAHER: “Yes, you can! I do not expect awful actions to take place. I think this is awful. When you open this window, like, ‘I didn’t like what he said, and what he said was vile, and this and that.’ Irrelevant! Irrelevant. We don’t shoot people in this country, and we don’t defend it, and we don’t mock their death.”

[Natalie Jean Beisner @NJBeisner]

Not for nothing, but Charlie Kirk married a woman five years older than he. Mrs. Charlie Kirk will be 37 in November. She also double majored in political science and international relations. She played basketball at the collegiate level. She was Miss Arizona USA and competed for Miss USA. She has a Juris Master degree and a doctorate in Christian leadership. She worked in modeling, acting, and as a casting director. She’s the CEO of Proclaim Streetwear and Bible in 365. She has a podcast, and as of this year, she was apparently working as a real estate agent.

All that to say that those spreading the lie that Charlie was some depraved misogynist who believed in denigrating women and needed some mousy wife at home to live under his boot, not only aren’t listening to his words but also aren’t looking at his life and the woman he chose to make a wife.

Did he believe in biblical gender roles? Yes, it seems like he did. Did he question whether young women should go to college? Yes, but he also questioned whether young people should go at all. Did he fall in love with and make a wife of a Christian woman who had her own life and degrees and accomplishments and even—gasp—made her own money? Yeah, seems like he did.

So can everyone just stop now?

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

“I'm a lifelong Democrat and I have spent hours out of my life the past few days watching Charlie Kirk debates”

She’s having an awakening after seeing that all the clips the media used to villainize Charlie Kirk were ALL LIES, they were all clipped and out of context

“The example I want to use is that clip that was everywhere that went viral, everybody was quoting it where Charlie said, I don't like the word empathy. We've probably all seen the short and the long version at this point where he goes on to clarify that he prefers the word sympathy.

Agree with them or disagree with them, doesn't matter to me. The point is the real conversation never happened because the clip was cut in half. Why? To reinforce the idea that the right is full of these monsters who reject human feelings.

That that wasn't an accident. That omission was deliberate and strategic”

She talks about how her own Party has become a “mob mentality”

“It's not about Charlie Kirk. It's about us taking the time to reflect. Are we living up to our own standards and our own ideals? Are we leading with Integrity? Are we just falling into a different version of the same trap? Because from my viewpoint, I don't know, it feels like we're becoming a lot like the things we claim to stand against”

[Steve McGuire @sfmcguire79]

Ezra Klein on Charlie Kirk:

“You can dislike much of what Kirk believed and the following statement is still true: Kirk was practicing politics in exactly the right way. He was showing up to campuses and talking with anyone who would talk to him. He was one of the era’s most effective practitioners of persuasion. When the left thought its hold on the hearts and minds of college students was nearly absolute, Kirk showed up again and again to break it. Slowly, then all at once, he did. College-age voters shifted sharply right in the 2024 election.

“That was not all Kirk’s doing, but he was central in laying the groundwork for it. I did not know Kirk and I am not the right person to eulogize him. But I envied what he built. A taste for disagreement is a virtue in a democracy. Liberalism could use more of his moxie and fearlessness. In the inaugural episode of his podcast, Gov. Gavin Newsom of California hosted Kirk, admitting that his son was a huge fan. What a testament to Kirk’s project.”

“Kirk and I were on different sides of most political arguments. We were on the same side on the continued possibility of American politics. It is supposed to be an argument, not a war; it is supposed to be won with words, not ended through bullets. I wanted Kirk to be safe for his sake, but I also wanted him to be safe for mine, and for the sake of our larger shared project. The same is true for Shapiro, for Hoffman, for Hortman, for Thompson, for Trump, for Pelosi, for Whitmer. We are all safe, or none of us are.”

[Chloe Cole ⭐️ @ChloeCole]

I saw this video this morning on my feed and I think it so eloquently explains what Charlie Kirk was put on this earth to do.

“When people stop talking, that’s when you get violence, that is when civil war happens”

[JD Vance @JDVance]

This is such a good point. If you actually watch Charlie’s events—as opposed to the fake summaries—they are one of the few places with open and honest dialogue between left and right. He would answer any question and talk to everyone.

[Kyle Becker @kylenabecker]

You beat political violence with systemic reforms of our broken institutions. You teach faith, humanity, and respect for fellow human beings. That is how you WIN.

[Jillian Michaels @JillianMichaels]

You’re absolutely right that vaccines have saved millions of lives and represent one of the greatest achievements in modern medicine. That fact should never be dismissed or minimized. At the same time, I wonder why it’s so hard to hold both ideas in our heads at once—that vaccines have done immense good and that it’s not unreasonable to scrutinize aspects of how they’re administered today.

For example, why can’t we have a real conversation about the necessity of a Hepatitis B shot at birth for a healthy newborn? Or about whether the CDC schedule, which has grown more aggressive over the years, might deserve re-evaluation? Or about the safety of adjuvants like aluminum when injected into infants with developing immune systems?

It also seems fair to point out that most pre-licensing trials don’t use truly inert placebo controls, and very few track long-term safety outcomes. That’s not conspiracy—it’s just acknowledging a limitation in the data.

So the question I keep coming back to is: if we can recognize the undeniable success of vaccines historically, why is it treated as dangerous or taboo to raise legitimate questions about how we use them today? Why does skepticism around specific policies or practices get conflated with being “anti-vaccine,” when in reality it’s about making sure the science is as strong and transparent as possible?

[Holden Culotta @Holden_Culotta]

There is a $2 million effort to get RFK Jr. ousted happening right in front of us.

A leaked memo EXPOSED the whole plan.

Now, it’s happening—and Pharma is holding NOTHING back.

CDC bureaucrats are subverting Kennedy.

Senators are demanding his resignation.

The vaccine industry is lobbying to get him fired.

And it’s all about to reach a fever pitch:

[JD Vance @JDVance]

This story from Politico is journalistic malpractice. But it's more than that: it's a foreign influence operation meant to hurt the administration and one of our most effective members.

Notice how all of the people attacking Steve are on background? That means it's two or three deep staters who are angry that Witkoff has succeeded where they've failed.

You know what this "reporter" left out to make room for anonymous quotes?

The full quote from the sitting vice president, on the record.

A quote from the secretary of the state, on the record.

A quote from Jared Kushner, on the record.

The full quote from the UK's Jonathan Powell, one of the most respected national security people in the Western World, who defended Steve vigorously from these malicious smears.

The person who wrote this garbage is @felschwartz. Aside from the failure to include on the record information directly contradicting her reporting, I wonder if she ever asked herself why these anonymous sources came to her at this moment with this particular story. They have an agenda to blow up the president's efforts to make peace, and they saw her as a useful vessel to launder garbage into the conversation, truth be damned.

There are two possible explanations: Felicia is just not very smart, and allowed herself to be used by deep state con men. Or she's in on it, and used her position to willingly participate in a literal foreign influence operation. Either way, it's disgraceful.

To set the record straight: Steve Witkoff is an invaluable member of our team. He did not mislead anyone on what the Russians told him and what the Russians conceded. (Trust me, I've seen the intel.) The fruits of his negotiations are that we have narrowed the list of open issues in the Russia-Ukraine war to a set of clearly defined issues--specifically, security guarantees and territorial concessions.

Maybe we make peace, and maybe we don't. If we do, it will be because Steve Witkoff and the President of the United States worked their tails off, in the face of outright lies from the mainstream press.
