The Houthi attack on Riyadh's major airport today apparently killed an American. We'll see how Trump responds.

12 killed. 309 injured. Including an American death. All while Trump claims the war is "over" and demands a Nobel Peace Prize.

Absolutely insanity. How the hell can this person possibly be employed with this level of malicious lying? Unless of course that is what your network is all about. bsky.app/profile/atru...

“ABC pulling the story only made it a bigger story. Certainly not what Don Jr. or the WH were going for. And ABC doesn’t look great, either. All of which underscores the need for news that is neither owned nor leveraged by this White House— a commodity vanishingly rare in today’s media environment.”
