4+ min ago (92+ words) Like a father, Donald Trump may sometimes be pissed at his children (meaning his Republican stooges), but he is always ready to forgive them, and people believe that he would be doing the same thing again. One person on X (formerly Twitter) writes: "Well, we all know someone who will pardon him " "Hegseth more than likely already has a blanket pardon. As for the military members, Trump has already shown he's willing to give military members pardons for murder and committing war crimes." Several others shared similar opinions on Pete Hegseth....

" Acyn (@Acyn) November 30, 2025 President Donald Trump lashed out at a CBS News journalist who pressed him on his recent MRI scan during an Air Force One gaggle as pressure mounts for the White House to clarify what, exactly, the president was tested for. Returning to Washington on Sunday night, Trump was grilled on Minnesota Governor Tim Walz's call to release last month's MRI results, a demand the Democrat issued after the president labeled him "seriously retarded" online. Trump insisted the imaging showed nothing alarming, telling reporters: "They were perfect like my phone call where I got impeached. Absolutely perfect. If you want to have it released, I'll release it." But when CBS News senior White House correspondent Weijia Jiang…...

Their town's twice-elected mayor, Joe Ceballos, has been charged with felony voter fraud by Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach. Ceballos appears to have registered and cast ballots in multiple elections, despite not being a citizen. While you might expect townsfolk to respond with anger, that's not the situation at all. Indeed, a remarkable profile of Ceballos by veteran Kansas journalist Roy Wenzl shows a town shocked that such a good guy " "He's more American than I am," a friend said " would be charged. He's a die-hard Republican in a place full of them. More than 83% of Comanche County voters picked Donald Trump for president last year. More than 78% appear to have chosen Kobach in 2022. "If deportation happens, I can tell you that Kobach will have trouble showing up here, especially…...

Along with Thanksgiving, every year comes Black Friday, the following day, when shoppers flock to the streets in search of bargains. This practice, which originated in the United States, has spread throughout the West and in recent years has expanded in duration, encompassing the entire weekend and even Monday, which has been dubbed "Cyber "Monday" (sales are supposedly reserved for electronics). Thus, the vibrant and colorful…...

Well, Pete Hegseth has been committing mass murder in the Caribbean, and/or war crimes, after WaPo reported he directly ordered survivors of a boat bombing to be finished off. So revolting and criminal that even Republicans on the House and Senate Armed Services Committees say they are planning to conduct some actual oversight.

28+ min ago (325+ words) A combination of Republican Party hesitancy and insider infighting has led the White House to pull an unheard of number of presidenitial nominations lest they falter and embarrass the Donald Trump administration. According to a report from Politico, during the first year of Trump's first administration, he withdrew 22 nominations. With the first year of Trump's second term concluding in mid-January, 55 nominations have been pulled or tabled. The report noted that there are a multitude of reasons for the withdrawals, including the president's ever-changing "mercurial views," as the White House experiences "clear signs of breakdowns behind the scenes." "The pace of withdrawals, the highest since at least the Ronald Reagan presidency, has flown below the radar in the day-to-day churn on Capitol Hill, with many Republican senators expressing surprise at the data in interviews," Politico reported while noting the White House,…...

33+ min ago (899+ words) New York City Council member Erik Bottcher is running for Congress. "We are either going to reject hatred and bigotry and discrimination, or our country will succumb to it," Erik Bottcher told The Advocate. When New York City Council member Erik Bottcher announced his run to replace longtime Democratic U.S. Rep. Jerry Nadler, he cast the race as bigger than a changing of hands in Manhattan's 12th Congressional District. He cast it as a test of the country's democratic character. "We're at a fork in the road," Bottcher, 46, said in an interview with The Advocate. "We are either going to reject hatred and bigotry and discrimination, or our country will succumb to it, and we'll roll back our hard-won civil rights and protections." The moment is personal and political. It's also intensely local and unmistakably national. Related: Gay NYC city council member…...

41+ min ago (282+ words) Fox News has been dropped from President Donald Trump's debut media "Hall of Shame" over the weekend after the network protested that the White House misidentified a reporter as one of its own. The White House launched the official site on Friday, naming and shaming major news outlets and journalists it claims have twisted coverage of Trump and his handling of a controversy involving six Democratic lawmakers. The move marks one of the administration's most direct efforts yet to air its grievances against the media and to publish them under the presidential seal. The page greets visitors with the banner: "Misleading. Biased. Exposed." It then singles out the Boston Globe, CBS News, and The Independent as "media offenders of the week," alleging the outlets misrepresented Trump's response after Democrats released a video urging service members not to follow "illegal orders....
