Chris Jansing as chief political reporter?
Might as well watch CNN or CBS.

The country is under attack by its own leadership with corruption occurring daily. If the attack was from abroad, coverage would be about how we're fighting against it. We need journalists - people who would objectively treat this felon like the enemy he is.

Iran War Maps: Tracking the Mideast Conflict
Maps show where U.S. and Israel have struck Iran, and where Iran has retaliated.

I find this chronicle more helpful in understanding the recent timeline of events. I don't know if it's unlimited cost-free or based on number of visits at this point.
Who'll stop him from pushing "the Button"?
At least one other person suggested nukes would be in play for this megalomaniacal stooge. I wish I could remember who it was so I could give them credit. But you KNOW how his ham-fisted brain works. He has no patience for anything that requires more than a few minutes of applied strategy. With all of his magical thinking, he knows he's losing and the more he loses, the quicker he wants his version of winning which in this case would be a quick annihilation of Iran.
It's a matter of time before it comes out that nukes entered the discussion early on with military brass ringing their hands over having a commander who once asked why we can't use nukes.
Hopefully, him demanding that option will hasten enacting provisions of Section 4 of the 25th Amendment.
The people who hate Affirmative Action
helped put an incompetent, semi-literate, unfocussed, unknowledgeable, shallow, self-obsessed, insecure, unstable, ignorant compulsive liar in the Oval Office (again) all because he's a white man dedicated to the preservation of white male privilege.
As a result we are:
- Less safe
- Paying more for consumer goods
- Paying more for fuel
- Paying more for health insurance
- Getting killed for exercising our constitutional rights
- Being swept up by undertrained bootlickers
Those republican voters will never learn.
Native Americans react to Sen. Markwayne Mullin's DHS appointment
Many tribes are encouraged by Trump's choice of Sen. Markwayne Mullin, a member of the Cherokee nation, as the new DHS Secretary. ICE agents have been accused of racially profiling Native Americans.
CHUCK HOSKIN JR: He treats tribes with respect.
SIEGLER: Chuck Hoskin Jr. is chief of the Cherokee Nation and knows Mullin well from working with him in Congress, but also as a Cherokee citizen.
HOSKIN: I've had different roles in the government of the Cherokee Nation. He's had different roles in the Congress of the United States. And so over the years, we've developed a relationship, and I would call him a friend.

I'm not Cherokee, but I have my doubts. I'm betting Mullin would throw his Cherokee brethren in front of a bus to save Demento.
Video Emerges in Fatal ICE Shooting of US Citizen Ruben Ray Martinez
Source: Newsweek
Newsweek has obtained police body-worn camera footage, photos, and new statements that shed new light on the moments a U.S. citizen was fatally shot by a federal immigration agent in Texas almost one year ago.
Over 160 pieces of evidence tied to Ruben Ray Martinez’s death by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent were released by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), following Newsweek’s public records request for further documents on the 23-year-old’s death in South Padre Island on March 15, 2025.
More bodycam footage from the South Padre Island Police Department (SPIPD) also captures the moments officers and agents tried to stop the vehicle the two men were in. An officer can be heard shouting, “Stop him. Stop him, stop him, stop him. Get him out. Get him out. Get him out!
“Stop the f***ing vehicle,” one officer can be heard saying. Seconds later gun shots ring out.

It's never good for law enforcement when it takes a year to see bodycam footage.
What is Shield of the Americas? What We Know About Kristi Noem's New Role
Source: Newsweek
President Donald Trump said he is appointing Kristi Noem as his “special envoy for the Shield of the Americas” as he announced her removal as homeland security secretary. The White House says the initiative reflects Trump’s effort to shift U.S. national security strategy toward the Western Hemisphere.
Trump is scheduled to meet Saturday with leaders from 11 Latin American countries at his golf club in Doral, Florida, for what the administration is calling a “Shield” summit. Leaders from Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Honduras, Panama, Paraguay, and Trinidad and Tobago are expected to attend, according to the White House. The administration says the initiative would rely on U.S. military and intelligence capabilities to a degree not seen in the region since the end of the Cold War.

"Why didn't trump release the Epstein Files in his first term?"
I don't think fox has prepped the cult on how to answer that yet. They have been prepped to ask "why didn't Biden release the Epstein Files" though.
They may very well give the Hail Mary answer of "the Epstein Files didn't exist then" in which case you can in form them that indeed they did. And they can look it up. And leave it at that. It should let them know that you know they've been duped.
