Trump offered praise for NYC Mayor-elect Mamdani after their WH meeting.

At one point, when Mamdani was asked about having called Trump a “fascist,” the president gave him cover.

“That’s OK, you can just say yes,” Trump said after Mamdani began to respond.

Marge just found out what it's like to get death threats. I don't think she's running for anything else. She's just running away. Good.

Olivia Nuzzi’s comeback isn’t a personal scandal story—it’s proof that today’s media rewards access, personality, and controversy more than ethics.

Wouldnt it be great if Mamdani could really be besties with Trump and talk on the phone all night, giving him advice? Vance is no one, nowhere. When asked previously, Trump signaled that it would be little Marco thrown to the wolves in an election that dems will sweep. Hopefuly ending Marco's career

Of course he was going to do this. He specifically said that he would not mess with vaccines but here he goes. Maybe Mamdani can whisper in his ear about how bad the flu is and covid coming back....we are fucked.
He's an insane man with a worm in his brain and every Republican who voted for him owns this disaster. His vote for Kennedy is reason enough alone for South Carolinians to end Lindsey Graham's overlong career in the Senate by voting for @drannieandrews.com over Graham in 2026.
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.

Q: Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?

MAMDANI: I've spoken about--

TRUMP: That's okay. You can just say yes. I don't mind.
November 21, 2025 at 8:53 PM
Wow! Trump is gonna join the Democratic Socialists next.
November 21, 2025 at 9:04 PM
Mandami is so good that he has soothed the savage Trump. They only talked about things that they can agree on, framed in a way that Trump can take. He has also somehow convinced Trump that NY laws are strong enough to control crime w/o ICE. We'll see what actually happens. So far, Its a love match.

Jamal is missed in this discourse. As Trump hosts his murderer, its a good time to read his final column and to realize that Trump is embracing the person who took him out. For what? Calling for freedoms. Rest in power.
I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression
The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

Looks like yes but there will be redactions. That doesnt mean that we wont have leaks or be able to figure out what the redactions are about. The bumbling administration has allowed this info to be in too many hands and its bound to leak if ppl are getting away with stuff. Stuff=pedophilia.
Will we actually see the Epstein files? I hope so. But with President Trump’s Justice Department run by Pam Bondi, expect stonewalling and strategic redactions.

Mike Johnson opens his mouth and lies pour out. I cant believe that anyone takes him seriously. He is a puppet and a bad one at that. I see him and I think "disingenuous"...I believe that his deal to be leader has a way to take him out. They should do that. He is helping no one and nothing.
Mike Johnson lies shamelessly: "The president of the United States supports maximum transparency."
