TikTok just banned my live news show for one week, it seems someone didnโt like my reporting on Ukraine and the US presidential election, so Iโll be broadcasting my daily news updates exclusively on YouTube for the next week. Theyโre M-F @ 6pm ET here:
For everyone saying that Republicans are now freaking out about Covid because itโs killing their base โ they knew it was killing their base a year ago. They didnโt care. Something happened in the last week that scared the hell out of them. I want to know what.
Since Elon Musk just accused former Twitter CEO
@Jack
Dorsey of being soft on child sex trafficking, I thought it important to share this article showing that it was Elon who cut Twitterโs child sexual exploitation team.
BREAKING: Ukrainians are taking down street signs to confuse Russian troops. The state road-signs agency changed one sign to read "go fuck yourselves" on all directions.
Dear Twitter advertisers, Elon Musk just shared a fringe post falsely claiming that Mr. Pelosi was gay, drunk, and tied up by a male prostitute. The trolls have been posting this false claim all over my TikTok comments as well. This is what youโre buying.
BREAKING: Unvaccinated truckers are now planning to shut down US cities to strangle our economy.
Who agrees they need to be IMMEDIATELY fired and lose their commercial vehicle licenses!
And the fact that Scalise suddenly got vaccinated means itโs not simply polling data, fear of losing the House, or even fear of lots of constituents dying. The fear is far more personal if Scalise ran to get a vaccine just this past weekend. Someone told them the sky is falling.
Give this woman a medal.
ABC reporter to Putin, after noting how many political opponents heโs killed:
โSo my question, Mr. President, what are you so afraid of?โ
Elon Muskโs problem is that while heโs successfully cultivating a MAGA/neo-Nazi fanbase on Twitter, heโs just lost 60% of the country that will now never purchase a

Republicans are saying they donโt remember supply shortages under Donald Trump. Who wants to remind them of the three months we spent wiping our asses with printer paper?
Raise your hand if you got vaccinated as soon as you could, and if youโll get the booster as soon as you can.
I want to see how many of my followers care about science and public health.๐๏ธ
Donald Trump famously tried to exclude Barack Obama from the ballot based on constitutional reasons. So donโt tell me we canโt exclude Trump for the same.
BIG! A Canadian judge just BLOCKED unvaccinated Truckers from shutting down the US-Canada border.
American judges need to do the same. We cannot allow domestic terrorists to shut down our economy.
Wait, so weโre at risk of shortages of the monoclonal antibody treatment because states like Florida are giving it out like candy to people who refuse to be vaccinated, and then the federal government pays for the treatment. It pays to be selfish.
Actually, some of us were alive during the Soviet years, studied the Soviet Union in graduate school, are intimately familiar with who the Russians really are and are capable of. And more generally, we love our country, and weโre not big fans of genocide. Traitor.
Sorry, this needs to be said:
A lot of the anti-Russia obsession on the left has nothing to do with Ukraine. Itโs a revenge fantasy over 2016. They blame Russia for Donald Trumpโs election and theyโll bleed Ukraine dry for payback.
CNN has confirmed that the Russians are bringing โthermobaricโ bombs into Ukraine โ bombs that literally set the air on fire, and either disintegrate bodies entirely, or rupture all your internal organs โ to terrorize the civilian and militaryย populations.
I canโt find a single news story that explains why pelosi canโt just create the January 6th commission, without republicans agreement. Why do we need the gop to agree, we have the majority?
CNN just reported that they spoke with Twitter advertisers, and the reason theyโve pulled their ads is because of Elon Muskโs own behavior since acquiring Twitter, including his tweet sharing a homophobic conspiracy theory about the brutal attack on Mr. Pelosi.
Twitter has had a massive drop in revenue, due to activist groups pressuring advertisers, even though nothing has changed with content moderation and we did everything we could to appease the activists.
Extremely messed up! Theyโre trying to destroy free speech in America.
Pete Buttigieg was out of work a few weeks ago on parental leave because his baby was on a ventilator clinging to life. There really is a special place in hell for republicans, who mocked him for taking the time off.
CNNโs
@jaketapper
interviews an Israeli first responder who found an eight-year-old Israeli girl on Oct. 7 with her arm chopped off by Hamas. The girl had been alone for hours, and was still awake and breathing. She died.
Iโm sorry, but this is a mess. Twitter emailed me and said Kanyeโs swastika didnโt violate their rules, then Elon says โdelete it,โ and itโs gone. Iโm glad itโs gone, but it seems Twitter no longer has any rules at all, except Elonโs whim.
Wow, the FBI just recovered the multi-million dollar ransomware payment made to suspected Russian hackers. Reading between the lines, it sounds like the company paid the ransom BECAUSE the FBI asked it to, in order to track it.
So it appears Manchin and Sinema have successfully gutted the Infra bill to kill including Dental benefits for Medicare. People will instead get an $800 voucher, which should cover a little more than half a crown, where I live. Why crap on seniors? I donโt get these two.
The new head of CNN, John Malone, just said he plans to move CNN to the right. This is clearly why
@brianstelter
was fired, and his show canceled. And this is clearly all about Donald Trump. Malone isnโt happy that CNN has been holding Trump accountable. This is a disaster.
Donald Trump just admitted that he appointed to the Supreme Court a โtotally disgracedโ lawyer (Kavanaugh) who was so bad that โnobodyโ would hire him.
Trump unloads on Brett Kavanaugh for his Supreme Court votes: "Where would he be without me? I saved his life. He wouldn't even be in a law firm. Who would have had him? Nobody. Totally disgraced. Only I saved him."
Okay, this is pretty funny. The Supreme Court said that the challenge to the ACA had to be thrown out because all the Republican states objecting to it suffered no real harm. Why? Because the individual mandate penalty was dropped to $0. Itโs the GOP that dropped it to zero!
So we shouldnโt hold Republicans accountable for attempting a violent coup, and continuing to attempt a violent coup, because they might attempt a violent coup.
The U.S. Supreme Court making a definitive call on Coloradoโs ruling is more likely to generate an actual, no-kidding, everyone-recognizes-it insurrection than anything you could currently imagine, writes Ed Kilgore
Even I didnโt realize that the larger Biden infrastructure bill includes Medicare coverage for dental, hearing & vision, which is a HUGE deal. What is our messaging strategy if even I didnโt know this?
This is the craziest story. In order to prevent Olympians from having sex, and thus risk spreading the Covid virus, beds at the Tokyo Olympic Village are made from cardboard so they collapse if more than one person gets on them!
SHAM: Hackers have BUSTED the anti-vaxx โtruckers.โ Not only are they NOT actually truckers, their donors arenโt even Canadian! More than half are MAGA Americans.
The GOP is trying to hurt the economy before the November elections. Retweet if this should be a bigger story!
@NICKIMINAJ
You were being criticized for spreading disinformation that could get people killed, and then digging in your heels on it.
And thatโs great if youโre willing to speak to an actual expert about the vaccines, but donโt pretend like youโre some kind of victim here. You screwed up.
This is correct. The Salvation Army is a far-right anti-gay evangelical church that lobbies on behalf of religious right causes in Washington. There are lots of other charities you can donate to this holiday season.

Iโve just written a longer piece about my growing concerns that the Republicans got one hell of a scary Covid briefing. I want to know what they were told, and by whom.
McConnell admits that congressional Republicansโ only goal is to โstopโ Bidenโs administration. Every time a Democrat gets elected to the White House, is the same thing from Republicans: they admit that they have no interest in getting anything done.
NBC published a fake story claiming White House interns signed a letter criticizing Biden over Gaza. The letter wasnโt just โanonymous,โ no one even signed it. Random anonymous people filled a box on a Google form claiming which White House office they allegedly worked in. 1/
Hereโs the video of the Ukrainian UN ambassador reading the text messages between the Russian soldier and his mother moments before the soldierโs death.
@DemSocialists
What a bunch of dishonest little Putin-lovers. You post your statement out of context, leaving out the most important part, to make it look like youโre now anti-Russian. When in fact your demands are literally Putinโs demands. So youโre not just traitors, youโre liars too.
Twitter CEO
@ElonMusk
โs tweet, promoting a homophobic conspiracy theory claiming Nancy Pelosiโs husband is gay and was hooking up with a gay prostitute, is still live on Twitter. This hate is brought to you by Twitterโs advertisers:

A Russian soldier in Ukraine texts his mother moments before his death:

The American Dental Association, a powerful lobby that gives out Lots of political contributions, is opposing Bidenโs proposal to give dental benefits to seniors under Medicare. Why? Because already high-priced dentists wonโt make enough money on it.
ABC doesnโt even cite a poll! They just made the entire thing up. Americans are not deeply divided. 75% or so of those eligible have gotten at least one dose of the covid vaccine.
BREAKING: Shortly after I reported on AFL124, the only Aeroflot flight headed to the US from Moscow, it was diverted BACK to Russia!

BREAKING: Russia just used cluster bombs against a residential area of Kharkiv, Ukraine โ a devastating weapon used to kill civilians, and often children who think the unexploded bomblets are marbles.
Melania Trump is auctioning off one of the hats she wore as First Lady, and two other items, and demanding a starting bid of $250,000.
She claims โa portionโ the money will go towards helping foster kids get a tech education.

Pelosi is right. Also, there is no โgenocideโ happening in Gaza. No one is trying to wipe out every Palestinian. There was, however, a genocide against Jews. They tried to wipe out all of them. And Hamas wants to wipe every Jew out again. So stop with the drama and the lies.
WOW. Moms for Ceasefire just interrupted

Her response? "A ceasefire is a gift to Hamas."
A verified account called me a โgroomer,โ a slur for gay men, suggesting weโre pedophiles. I reported him. And Twitter just told me that calling gays pedophiles isnโt hate speech. What a cesspool this place has become under Elon Musk.
Tucker Carlson mocks Pete Buttigieg for taking paternity leave: "Paternity leave, they call it, trying to figure out how to breastfeed, no word on how that went."

@RollingStone
Iโm intrigued that you donโt have an MD, โdoctor.โ Are you like โDr. Lauraโ? Itโs also intriguing that youโre spewing far-right talking points about Covid โonly killingโ 2% of its victims (thatโs the real figure). โOnlyโ 2% of the US Population is nearly 7 million people.
@Tesla
@SpaceX
Thereโs a second HUGE problem for SpaceX. Musk has shown himself to be erratic, dishonest, extremist, untrustworthy (going back on his Starlink promise) and he has disconcerting contacts with Americaโs enemies. That is not the stuff of security clearances and Pentagon contracts.
BREAKING: Police have arrived at the Canadian-US border to ARREST unvaccinated truckers who refused to leave after being ordered by a judge.

"There's about 12 people who are producing 65% of anti-vaccine misinformation on social media platforms," according to WH Press Sec. Jen Psaki. "All of them remain active on Facebook."
If Trump was planning a coup, that would be a crime. FBI has no choice but to investigate this, including Trump and his last-minute appointees at DoD a month before Bidenโs inauguration, Mark Meadows, and more.
Rick, as always, is correct. Trump is growing in strength, and having now solidified his control over the GOP, he poses a clear and present danger to our democracy and our lives โ letโs not forget that the man just killed 400,000 Americans to massage his own ego.
1/ Those of you thinking Trump will go away if you call him โthe former guyโ miss the point; you cannot wish him away. Itโs politically naรฏve and borders on juvenile.
The evidence is piling up: Trumpโs iron grip over the GOP has been institutionalized
@rerutled
I feel like it would have to be way more personal than that. Like really really really bad polling info. That not only will people die โ which they couldnโt care less โ but it will cost you the House and Senate. Also, why did Scalise get vaccinated? That was odd too.
A top House Republican just admitted that Republicans might cut Medicare and Social Security for people who are more than a few years out from getting it.
HUGE NEWS: Sabre, the largest airline booking service in the world, is CUTTING ITS TIES TO AEROFLOT, which will make it much harder for Russia to operate even DOMESTIC flights.

Trump is openly trying to influence potential jurors in DC. Not only is that a crime, but the judge explicitly warned Trump about this on Thursday, and Trump said he understood.
@DavidSacks
David, you spent the last year vilifying people like me, and now youโre begging us for a bailout. I actually wouldnโt make the SVB decision based on politics. But I bet you would if the roles were reversed. Perhaps this will be a good time for YOU to learn a lesson in civility.
She deleted the tweet, which is good, saying she didnโt intend to cause offense. But itโs not simply that the tweet was insensitive, itโs also weird. Claiming Bidenโs domestic agenda is dying? Who says? Because Dems are negotiating, thatโs not dying.
DELICIOUS: The city of Ottawa wants to sell off the trucks seized from Canadian protesters, in order to pay the cityโs multi-million dollar security bill.
Who else thinks this is a great idea? โ
@elonmusk
You canโt possibly be as freaking stupid as you constantly act on here. Which leads me think youโre a liar. Yes, Biden was elected for less drama. Have you seen any insurrections lately? How about pandering to Americaโs enemies, hiring your children, lusting after your daughterโฆ
Look who found Covid Jesus. The guy who is selling anti-Fauci merchandise and declaring Florida a โfreeโ zone because he doesnโt think Covid is as bad as people in Washington are claiming. Suddenly even heโs worried.
Somethingโs going on with the GOP.
"These vacines are saving lives"
In his most direct effort to encourage people to get vaccinated, Governor Ron DeSantis said 95% of the new COVID cases are those who are not vaccinated.
