A single building is left standing amidst utter carnage. Every single building has been levelled across a few square miles pictures. Google maps identified one pile of rubble as a school.

A nuclear deal for the Saudis. A media blackout for Kushner’s corruption.
On Wednesday, the Trump administration signed a 30-year nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia that paves the way for the kingdom to enrich its own uranium.

ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.

Remember when Trump kept promising that NO tax dollars would be used for his ballroom because he already had $400 million in private donations? So I guess one of the impeachment investigations will be, "what happened to the $400 million in private donations?"

Congratulations to our client Nicholas Enrich on the publication of his new book, "Into the Wood Chipper"!

The top brass, he discovered, didn’t know what USAID did. “‘These are the infectious diseases we work on. Here's what we do in maternal and child health…’" he says he explained.

Local TV leads its Iran coverage by saying the "deal" includes "reopening" the Strait of Hormuz, but then adds that Iran will manage the Strait and charge fees. So, the Strait is *less* accessible than before the war. Media outlets don't need to accept the administration's framing of this ceasefire.
