Another US service member has died.

CENTCOM: โ€œThe fourth service member, who was seriously wounded during Iranโ€™s initial attacks, eventually succumbed to their injuries.โ€

'overhaul'? you mean 'massively cut'?

In shocking news Matt blames muslims for his defeat and would like you to pay him money so that he can keep pointing this out.

Nigel Farage lied multiple times at his press conference today - including saying no-one who voted Green in Gorton and Denton has a job and he's "certain" Reform won most British born voters in the by-election, based on zero evidence, and yet not a single journalist there pushed back on them

so the podcast that Platner went on as a guest last month and called himself a โ€œlongtime fanโ€ of isnโ€™t just antisemitic, itโ€™s also full of anti-Black racism and promoted the racist and xenophobic GOP attacks on Somali immigrants in Minneapolis?

Minnesota U.S. Senate candidate Michele Tafoya claimed California's homeless population is 30%.

FACT: it's actually 0.48%. She spews this BS b/c she knows the MAGA rubes are gullible AF and will believe 12M (of the 40M) Californians are homeless.

The refusal to address the US public live, much less take questions, is very strange.

The claim Trump โ€œwanted the comments from Saturday to soak inโ€ is ludicrous.

But itโ€™s not just Trump. Itโ€™s also the rest of his immediate advisors who are hiding from public accountability.

Trump both announced that the United States was going to war with Iran and then later discussed the first deaths of US service members in that war via videos recorded at his Florida resort.

Astonishingly disrespectful of the stakes and impact. I donโ€™t think it will go over well with most Americans.
