South Korea fought back an attempted coup, a CEO was assassinated, Syria overthrew a dictator. The season finale of 2024 is popping OFF.

So, we’re going to ask Tulsi Gabbard all about her support for Bashar al-Assad, right? She’s not going to cruise through confirmation without the world knowing why the hell she ever backed him, right?

John Lennon was assassinated 44 years ago today by a man who flew from Hawaii to New York with a handgun in his suitcase. He shot Lennon five times with hollow-point bullets. Since then, over 1.5M people in America have been shot and killed - many more wounded. Imagine…

The FBl is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the backpack shooter. The NYPD has added another $10,000. UnitedHealthcare is kicking in a $25 copayment.

I understand hating opinion columns, I say this as an opinion columnist, but reporting is good and if American democracy is going to survive we desperately need reporting to expose corruption.

Alcoholism is a disease. Hegseth has a brain disease & his reported “I won’t drink” if I make it to the A team mentality is absolute denial of his clear & obvious addiction. Time for Medical community to speak up on the #NationalSecurityRisk of Trumps picks.

Markwayne Mullin on Hegseth’s drinking: TAPPER: Drinking at 10 in the morning, that’s a drinking problem. MULLIN: Yeah & there’s probably a lot of media that has a drinking problem too. TAPPER: A drunk reporter who is drinking at 10 AM…is not in charge of the 3 million person defense department.💥

One of the things I hate most about cable "news" these days is they talk about trump as the "president-elect" instead of adjudicated rapist, convicted felon, insurrection inciter and lame duck. He doesn't deserve the respect that goes with the title of President. PERIOD.
