Voters are struggling while Trump and his corrupt elites wave money and false promises in their faces. It's exactly why people have had enough of this administration. Watch Rick Wilson on MSNOW.

O'DONNELL: What is it like debating someone who thinks exempting road salt is their big gift to Maine? JACKSON: She argues about how strong she is, but she never uses it in a way that's helpful. She said tariffs are a function of Congress -- and I was like 'Yeah, you gave it up to Donald Trump'

Think our effort to address the damage done by DOGE Is over? Not at all! We just won summary judgment proving that they abused our data And we are also litigating in fed court on behalf of the countless people they injured at USAID

Ben Meiselas on Trump's bizarre fixation with other men's bodies: “I think this is homosexual disinhibition, like it's actually a form of disinhibition where he projects.” “He'll talk about male senators' asses ... Senator Husted's ass particularly is something he talks about all the time.”

Trump: "The first question is easy. You have a lion, a snake, a bear, and a giraffe. And they say, 'which is the giraffe?' So that's always the question they show ... when they get into those last questions -- see the fake news? There's not a person there that could answer."

BREAKING NYT: A billionaire wanted a Trump pardon. His family gave Alina Habba a $50 million deal. Julio Herrera Velutini, a prominent Venezuelan, was seeking clemency. He got it not long after his daughter gave Habba, a lawyer close to Trump, an extraordinarily lucrative job.

Jon Husted's ass is now a regular part of Trump's routine. Doesn't matter what state he is in. Ohio. Kentucky. North Carolina. Jon Husted's ass is always on his mind.

Trump: "I'm studying his body. I've never studied the body of a man before. It's not my thing. Nothing wrong with it, of course. But it's never been my thing. But I looked at his ass. I said, 'His ass, shit, it's like a pile of muscle.' Then I looked at his legs and I said, 'Man, his feet are big.'"

I was at a doctor’s appointment this morning when the air raid siren went off. Explosions outside, walls shaking, a woman screaming. My doctor and I sat in silence for a minute. Then we carried on. Day 1,700 of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

My next door neighbor is a teacher. She works hard, works after school. We live in a community with lots of resources, she still buys more supplies. Teachers are tired. They want kids to read and be good people. They want to be able to use the bathroom, to be paid a fair salary, treated decently

youtube.comHUGE Night for News in Ukraine - Records and UpdatesI examine the October 19 attack on Kyiv, where Ukraine reported intercepting 243 of 269 Shahed-type and other drones, yet said ballistic missiles reached the city during the first wave without a warning from partners. With 16 ballistic missiles reportedly fired at Kyiv and the surrounding oblast, the consequences were immediate: strikes at 25 locations, casualties, damage to a metro-area neighborhood and shopping center, and power losses affecting 550,000 families nationwide. I also track Ukraine’s reported strikes against a radar station in Bryansk, ammunition and UAV sites in occupied territory, and damaged VK and Yandex-linked infrastructure. On the battlefield, Ukraine reported 2,100 Russian casualties—its second-highest daily total—while Russian forces reportedly used small-group infiltration tactics near Hulyaipole. Finally, I look at a Ukrainian heavy-drone evacuation of a wounded soldier, an illustration of how minefields and constant drone surveillance are reshaping frontline survival. 00:00 Russian casualty record and overnight strike picture 03:09 VK and Yandex infrastructure damage 04:33 Kyiv ballistic strike and partner-warning failure 08:50 Russia’s sustained drone campaign against Ukraine 12:52 Ukraine’s drone evacuation of a wounded soldier 15:00 Sunday strategic roundtable and channel plans 16:05 Project Constantine and closing remarks #Ukraine #Kyiv #RussiaUkraineWar #AirDefense #DroneWarfare Facts over noise.

youtube.comThe Intelligence Failure Was Just One Piece—And the Rest Is WorseI examine Ukraine’s report that it received no advance U.S. warning before the first wave of a Russian barrage involving 16 ballistic missiles against Kyiv and the surrounding region. The attack reportedly damaged more than 10 energy facilities and left at least 550 households without power. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he had no information on that night’s incident, while noting that previous warning failures involved software problems. But when ballistic missiles are involved, even a brief gap can carry grave consequences—especially for a country short of Patriot interceptors. I then connect that episode to the wider policy picture: reported delays of Patriot missiles already funded through a NATO initiative, alleged Starshield and Starlink constraints, calls for Ukraine to halt strikes on Russian oil refineries, and discussion of sanctions relief for Moscow. I assess Zelensky’s proposed Patriot-for-restraint trade, Russia’s stated ambitions in Kharkiv, Sumy, and Dnipropetrovsk, and congressional threats of oversight. My central question is whether pressure on Kyiv can produce a durable settlement—or instead increase Russia’s leverage while attacks continue. 00:00 Kyiv Reports No Advance Ballistic-Missile Warning 02:50 Rubio’s Response and Intelligence-Sharing Dispute 04:52 From One Strike to the Wider Policy Picture 06:43 Zelensky’s Case: Patriots, Interceptors, and Pressure 10:15 Starshield Limits and Congressional Oversight 12:48 Reported Patriot Delays and Air-Defense Needs 15:08 Does Pressuring Kyiv Strengthen Moscow? 16:50 Support for Ukrainian Brigades and Closing Thoughts #Ukraine #RussiaUkraineWar #Kyiv #PatriotMissiles #AirDefense #Starlink Facts over noise.
