Confused orange Trump blasts out demented rant
Donald Trump held a strange press conference in Florida, announcing plans to sue pollsters and media outlets. He rehashed familiar controversial topics, including the false claim that the 2020 election was stolen and his support for privatizing public services like the Post Office. Trump also promoted debunked conspiracy theories, like a link between vaccines and autism, and hinted at a more aggressive approach to instituting his political agenda.

I met with President Biden, and here's the truth
David went to Washington D.C. yesterday and had a notable meeting with President Biden and the Office of Digital Engagement, a team dedicated to connecting online creators with the administration. This meeting marks a step forward in fostering communication but highlights the ongoing challenge of coordination between Congress and independent media. Despite these efforts, the right-wing media ecosystem remains more cohesive and continues to enjoy better access to key political figures.
From yesterday’s show:
OPEN FASCISM: Imprison media, have Trump run AGAIN
Steve Bannon called for imprisoning journalists at the Young Republicans Club, echoing growing authoritarian rhetoric on the right. He claimed media figures conspired against Trump, a notion Trump himself supported regarding January 6th committee members. Bannon also floated the idea of Trump running in 2028 despite the constitution limiting presidents to two terms, reflecting a mindset that they can get away with anything.
From yesterday’s show:
Tulsi BOMBING meetings with Senators, may HAVE to drop out
Tulsi Gabbard's nomination for Director of National Intelligence is faltering as senators criticize her preparedness and lack of knowledge. Republican aides described her meetings as "shallow" and "B.S. sessions," casting doubt on her qualifications. Many see her nomination as a reward for loyalty to Trump rather than merit. Like Matt Gaetz before her, Tulsi may quietly withdraw to avoid further embarrassment.
