Multiple airports are now announcing they will refuse to play Kristi Noem’s government-funded video blaming “Democrats” for the government shutdown.

if anybody is good at lip reading or can isolate the audio, I'd be very curious to learn more about what these two were talking about here. it certainly didn't sound on the level.

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.

Good. This is the minimum level of ethics required. But good.

"Journalists from The Washington Post will not be signing the Pentagon's new press access policy.
The proposed restrictions undercut First Amendment protections by placing unnecessary constraints on gathering and publishing information. We will continue to vigorously and fairly report on the policies and positions of the Pentagon and officials across the government."

Democracy dies if we drop the case of Trump, Egypt, and $10 million in cash | Will Bunch

A credible allegation of a $10 million Trump bribe from Egypt is swept under the rug as bribery is increasingly legal in America.

US President Donald Trump told Israel’s parliament that PM Benjamin Netanyahu had often asked him for weapons during the Gaza war, including “some I’d never heard of.”

More than 67,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza.

The war of domestic terrorism continues.

Nasty people. You wouldn’t believe. So unfair to me. So unfair. Frankly, a witch hunt. But these are just the nastiest people so we had to do it. A lot of people said we wouldn’t do it. A lot. But we did it.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

All the news seems to be focused on the hostages. Does anyone care about the thousands of Palestinians who have been massacred, starved, and had their homes obliterated by Israel? It seems a little unbalanced. I'm happy the hostages have been freed. Let's not forget the other victims.
