First, I want to start with an incident from two years ago that has kind of thrust itself back into the news today. It was this moment back in 2023 when an armed and dangerous man showed up outside the home of a former president. There's new information on the January 6th defendant arrested near the home of former President Barack Obama here in DC >> after federal agents spotted and chased Taylor Toronto outside the DC home of former President Obama.But they say they found these guns, hundreds of rounds of ...

Trump is engaging in a whole of government retribution campaign. Basically using every lever of the federal government to target anyone in this country who he thinks is insufficiently loyal to him. That has been his goal ever since his first term in office when he tried to do the same thing over and over only to be stopped by some of the people around him. So Trump knew the only way he could carry out that campaign of retribution in his second term was by making sure that this time there was no one around t ...

Exactly 96 years ago today, billions of dollars were wiped out as the Dow plunged. Investors gathered outside the New York Stock Exchange as many of them lost everything. Some called it the darkest day in American history.October 29th, 1929 became known as Black Tuesday, a key date in the stock market crash that sunk our country into a depression. As we mentioned earlier, that crash is the subject of a new book by my friend Andrew Russin. It is called 1929 and it is already a New York Times bestseller.Our n ...

Well, as we reported here last night, Donald Trump will not have a third term in the presidency. We're beginning once again tonight with something that is not actually news. Shouldn't shouldn't be treated as news.Today, even Donald Trump himself gave up the game of using talk of a Trump third term as a way of diverting news attention away from the Trump cruelties, especially the denial of food to hungry people around the world and soon here in the United States. That is what the third term talk was supposed ...

Just days before 42 million Americans lose access to federal SNAP food benefits, Senate Majority Leader John Thun has blocked a Democratic bill to fund both SNAP and WICK, which is the lifeline for women and children and infants. Republican Senator Josh Holly has introduced a similar, more limited bill to fund SNAP until the end of the shutdown. But that bill doesn't cover WIC and it does not reimburse states for costs incurred while there is a gap in funding.Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer says Democr ...

I'm here in Kungju, South Korea with the president on his trip to Asia. And we're witnessing a really interesting Trump tactic in the works. The president is quite literally threatening tariffs in order to not just broker money deals, but broker peace deals.It's like his own game he's learned of international deal making. Move the goalpost so that he can notch a win on his own terms. Sometimes creating the goalposts out of thin air.For example, in his apex speech, Trump said that he threatened cutting off t ...

Trump's DHS caught manipulating videos to create the false impression that there are violent hotspots in the certain places that they want to deploy. The Washington Post reporting on this problem. They've been busted, including the government.Remember, this is your government. They are answerable to you. This is still a country we have here.And they're using your tax dollars to try to mislead or lie to you about where they're putting troops and what the reasons are. So, they have this sort of gust up footag ...

That is because of an apparent violation of the law by the Trump administration. The federal government currently has roughly $5 billion in a SNAP contingency fund.It's there for emergencies and some argue required to be used in emergencies like this one. The Trump administration is not allowing those funds to be used because they want to turn up what Mike Johnson has called t ...

Okay, guys. We have some bombshells involving the Biden Justice Department's investigations of Donald Trump. You've heard Trump and his allies say that the Democrats weaponized the Justice Department to charge Trump with federal crimes.The theory was they wanted him in jail so he couldn't become president. But we know today that that's not only not true. In fact, the opposite happened.These new revelations are coming from a book by my colleague Carol Lenick. Carol reports that acting out of a mix of princip ...
