Israel literally dropped a bomb on Iran as Trump was typing this message: https://t.co/NwaAy7xYde

BREAKING: Two Democrat Lawmakers in Minnesota - Democratic Senator John Hoffman and Rep Melissa Hortman - were just shot in their homes by a gunman impersonating a police officer. Is MAGA going to condemn this violence? This is why you don't open your door for law enforcement or ICE unless you first see a warrant and ID.

On the scene at the FSU shooting this Florida State University student calls out Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis: "I’m gonna call on Governor Ron DeSantis [and] Donald Trump. This stuff keeps going on. We’re praying every day. Praying is good. Spirituality is good. But prayers don’t do much. It’s good for the soul, but is this still happening? I think it is. So we need to make some gun reforms." Listen to the people!

Many Republicans seemingly defend Putin and Russia by claiming that Putin doesn't have any goals to rebuild the Soviet Union and instead it's NATO that is forcing his hand. Recently former President George W. Bush completely debunked that ridiculous myth. We all know what Putin wants. He wants to rebuild Russia. He wants to build his nation by invading former Soviet territory and getting it back. That's his main goal. If you pretend otherwise, you are being disingenuous.

@WinnieSchola There are plenty of fathers who have been in the same shower as their young daughters. Virtually all Pediatricians and child psychologists support it up until a certain age.

BREAKING: Federal Judge Tanya Chutkan has just issued a gag order on former President Donald Trump. Do you agree with the order? She said: “This is not about whether I like the language Mr. Trump uses… This is about language that presents a danger to the administration of justice. His presidential candidacy does not give him carte blanche to vilify public servants who are simply doing their jobs. “Mr. Trump is a criminal defendant. He is facing four felony charges. He is under the supervision of the criminal justice system and he must follow his conditions of release… When you start to use a word like ‘thug’ to describe a prosecutor doing their job, that wouldn’t be allowed by any other criminal defendant… Just because the defendant is running a political campaign does not allow him to do whatever he wants.”

BREAKING: Hamas has reportedly just released this footage showing their militants with children they allegedly kidnapped. In the video they also appear to make a child repeat an antisemitic word before he can drink his water. How can anyone support this insanity, this evil, and this pain that is being caused to children and their families? These kids are the definition of “innocent.” They have done nothing wrong to anyone. To believe that Israel has no right to attack back, or try and rescue these children is absurd!

CLARIFICATION: I said that the word "bismillah" is an anti-semitic word. The word actually means "in the name of Allah," so in itself it definitely isn't anti-semitic, but in the way this Jewish child was forced to use it, I do believe that is anti-semitic. Forcing a Jewish child to say "in the name of Allah" while you hold him hostage is anti-semitic and pure evil. To a lot of Jewish people it would be viewed as anti-semitic to make a Jewish person say the word before they can drink a glass of water.

I don't see that happening.

BREAKING: Conservative commentator Glenn Beck has reportedly been banned from Apple/iTunes without any explanation. First I must say, I completely disagree with so much of what Glenn Beck has to say, and I think a lot of his politics are absurd. With that said, if Beck has actually been banned merely for voicing his free speech, I think it’s wrong of Apple to do. It will be interesting to see what reason Apple gives for this banning, or if it was done by mistake. I am unaware of any recent major controversy, or hateful over-the-top message that Beck has spread over the airwaves. What are your thoughts? Do you support Glenn Beck’s free speech or do you believe that for some reason Apple should ban his podcast?

I want to address some things regarding Taylor Lorenz's Washington Post story. 1) I support most of her reporting. 2) Her story entitled "Far right Twitter influencers first on Elon Musk's monetization scheme" is a terrible piece of journalism 3) The article states, "On Thursday Twitter announced that it would begin sharing ad revenue with content creators." Fact is, this announcement actually came back in February. I specifically remember it as do many others. 4) Her article goes on to claim, "The first beneficiaries appear to be string of high profile far right influencers who tweeted before the announcement how much they’ve earned..." Again, this is factually incorrect. Twitter sent out notifications to those receiving money at around 12:42PM ET on Thursday. The first person tweeting about being paid was Ashley St. Clair at 1:04PM ET, followed by Benny Johnson at 1:14PM ET and then many others. All of the influencers were not "far right influencers," unless you consider myself and Brian Krassenstein to be "far right." We both received more than any of those individuals mentioned in Taylor's article. Mr. Beast ($25K) also received about the same as Brian and I. He definitely is not "far right." 5) At the time of Taylor Lorenz's article, several left-leaning people had already tweeted that they were paid, including ourselves and Katherine Brodsky, but she claims in the article that "So far, the influencers who have publicly revealed that they’re part of the program are prominent figures on the right." At the time, Brian's tweet about his payment had already received over 5 million impressions. This article was very bad reporting on behalf of the Washington Post and Taylor Lorenz, and that's coming from someone who normally likes the WaPo.

Marjorie Taylor Greene and other conservatives are sharing a cut from a video that appears to show Joe Biden admitting to selling state secrets. Some conservatives are claiming that this shows Biden is corrupt while others are claiming that it is evidence of dementia. Context matters. They are deceiving you by only showing a small portion of the video which doesn’t show Biden saying “all kidding aside.” Context matters. This is irresponsible if you are taking sections of a video to sell an narrative you want people to believe. You can see the full context below.
