Reading that cretin Alex Jones was put on blast by the conservative Supreme Court and "Dr. Phil" has had to declare bankruptcy on the same day? What an embarrassment of riches! Only one other breaking news story about another odious man would make things better.

What depresses me about this reporting is that it will lead to no introspection and very little accountability. We have just moved past any sort of world in which shame matters, or decency matters.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

when fox news joins forces with outlets like ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN to tell secretary breakfast gin that no they will *not* get his approval on their reporting, you know we’re through the looking glass www.cnn.com/2025/10/14/p...

Fox signed a joint statement along with
ABC News, CBS News, CNN, and NBC
News that said Hegseth's rules would
"restrict journalists' ability to keep the nation and the world informed of important national security issues."
"The policy is without precedent and threatens core journalistic protections,"
the outlets said.
To underscore: This is Hegseth's own former employer saying he's undermining freedom of the press.

NEW: Mother Jones has learned that Bill Pulte himself committed an error in his own financial filings—the same kind of mistake that he has used to attack Trump’s political rivals.

The attack dog targeting Trump opponents over their paperwork hasn’t even filed his own

As chairman of the board of Fannie Mae, Bill Pulte was required to file a disclosure form with the SEC. He didn’t.

One of the craziest stories I've seen in a long time. If you think Trump and his administration are extreme and depraved, just wait until you learn about the young guns who are positioning themselves to take over the reigns in the next few decades

Breaking: Text messages of Young Republican groups across the country have just been leaked.

They talk about putting Democrats in “gas chambers,” attacking “Jews,” calling Black people “watermelon people,” calling to “rape” their enemies, and bringing back slavery.
