This is conspiracy theory stuff. China doesn’t need to spy on baby monitors to know what Americans are doing. They can just open Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, or one of the many apps that Americans use to share the kind of information that two generations ago couldn’t be waterboarded out of them.
HINSON: As a mom, I think about watching a baby monitor. That's a very intimate moment with your baby and to think the Chinese could be spying on your morning routine

BARTIROMO: Why are they spying on moms?

HINSON: They just want to know what Americans are up to to undermine our way of life

Clearest statement yet that US is de facto out of NATO
The plan says that "A dialogue will be held between Russia and NATO, mediated by the United States." This implies that both Russia and the Trump administration don't see the US as part of NATO in any real sense. That should deeply alarm every other NATO state.

“Trump criticized the new kickoff rules. What’s your reaction?”

Chiefs special teams coordinator Dave Toub: “He doesn’t even know what he’s looking at. He has no idea what’s going on with the kickoff rule… and I hope he hears it.”

Atty Chris Parente spoke on the dismissal of the federal assault case against his client Marimar Martinez, whom CBP agent Charles Exum shot on Oct. 4.

He expressed graditude that federal prosecutors "did the right thing" in moving to toss the case, but added this isn't the end of the matter.

Donald Trump doesn't want to release the Epstein files because he's in the files.

Trump is in the files because he was "best friends" with Epstein for years.

He was "best friends" with Epstein for years because they were abusing women and girls together.

His attacks won't change any of that.

The White House is frustrated about being backed into a corner on the Epstein vote. They plan to punish Democrats for it.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Fox Business credulously reports that Saudi Arabia is pushing its investment into the US "to $1 trillion." The entire size of the Saudi economy is $1 trillion. How stupid are these people and/or how stupid do they think their viewers are?

If someone urges the military to not follow **illegal orders** and your response is that it is a “call for rebellion,” you are de facto admitting that you are issuing **illegal orders.**

Also, I stand by my assertion that no one has ever had a more punchable face than Stephen Miller.
Stephen Miller on a PSA reminding troops to not follow unlawful orders: "It is insurrection ... It's a general call for rebellion from the CIA and the armed services of the United States by Democrat lawmakers."

I feel like we're going to learn that Trump is happy to share intel on American residents for the tidy sum of $2B.
Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office.

He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people.

Release the transcript.

Yesterday, President Trump tried to justify the murder of Jamal Khashoggi by saying "things happen."

Today, Senate Republicans blocked a resolution that condemned his murder.

The Republican party's refusal to stand up for a free & fair press endangers journalists worldwide.

They're so fucking stupid and don't realize it. The only reason many white students can afford graduate degrees is because foreign students pay for the programs and allow them to be economically efficient. Without foreign students, many programs will now simply collapse. Genius.

In 2024, Tierra Walker was sick and getting sicker. She was also pregnant.

She knew abortion was illegal in Texas, but thought there was an exception for women like her, whose health was at risk. Doctors told her there was no emergency.

Then she died.
