I want to know who the men in the shadows are I want to hear somebody asking them why They can be counted on to tell us who our enemies are But they're never the ones to fight or to die Lives in the Balance ~ Jackson Browne

The fact that the Democratic senators are agreeing to a continuing resolution until Dec 11th with NO compromises for them is absolute political malpractice and head scratching. Why not even try to ban like…. The arch? Anything!

A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

RFKJr claims Lyme disease was created by scientists,which is the closest he’s come to admitting that science exists. Meanwhile, Ötzi the Iceman, who died more than 5.3K years ago, had Lyme disease. Apparently prehistoric humans are part of the conspiracy. Get me off this timeline

A 60 Minutes probe into Epstein's banking, with Wyden already interviewed, vanished right after Sharyn Alfonsi got pushed out under Bari Weiss. Same editor who stalled the CECOT migrant story until Stephen Miller got a say. CBS keeps calling it timing. Sure looks like a pattern.

60 Minutes Epstein Banking Story Vanished After CBS Ousted Sharyn Alfonsi, Dem Senator Reveals

Wyden revealed he was interviewed for the show in a Senate report alleging the country's largest banks turned “a blind eye” to Epstein's financial activity

Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.

Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."

Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.

RFK Jr. ordered the CDC to stop tracking cyclosporiasis, because, well, "If you don't track it, you don't have any cases." Now, with people dying from it, the story can no longer be covered up. RFK Jr. needs to be put in a place where he can no longer harm people.

Is this the "Quid Pro Quo" the SCOTUS needs as evidence? Trump received a ring, valued between $25 - $35,000, features 321 diamonds, 56 sapphires, 13 emeralds, & 6 rubies, from the Belgian diamond industry after they secured tariff relief on diamond imports to the U.S. www.ms.now/the-briefing...

The Wall Street Journal reports that after receiving a gift of a massive ring covered in diamonds and other jewels, Donald Trump made an exception from his tariffs for the diamond industry. Rep. Greg ...

EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD BE OUTRAGED: While GOP senators want praise for forcing Blanche to rescind the illegal $1.8 billion slush fund in return for confirmation votes, the audit immunity plan for Trump, his sons and his Organization remains in place. apnews.com/article/trum...

Is it any wonder that Trump, Netanyahu, Hegseth and Rubio are attacking the International Criminal Court? The military was instructed to conduct extrajudicial strikes against small vessels in the Caribbean Sea and Eastern Pacific, killing over 200 without presenting any evidence of their claims. 👇

Phang: "The fact that it's taking France and England and other foreign countries to be able to launch investigations, and yet our American DOJ is sitting on it doing absolutely nothing, including not cooperating with those foreign nations, is such a big red flag."

"Call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all God's children." —Martin Luther King, Jr.

Just a reminder of what a scam Trump's so called "Board of Peace" is: * Trump installed himself as chair for life with unilateral veto and resolution powers, operating outside traditional diplomatic norms. 👇
