James Talarico responds to Trump saying Ken Paxton should debate him: "Ball's in your court, Ken." Paxton has refused to accept debate invitations at least FIVE times. Is he just a gutless, spineless coward or does he simply realize he has far too much to hide? Or both? 🤔

Pete Hegseth says Americans will be able to watch a Trump-approved firing-squad execution. If he follows through, the U.S. could join a disturbing club of countries known for public executions—including Iran, Afghanistan, and North Korea.

Hegseth Turns Trump’s Firing Squad Into a Public Spectacle
The Army has scheduled Nidal Hasan’s December 3 execution at Fort Hood — the first military execution since 1961 — while the Pentagon still will not explain how the firing squad will operate.

Kimberly Guilfoyle reportedly asked a Trump donor to wire her $100,000 to cover an AMEX bill before her confirmation as ambassador—after offering to help him with tax and legal issues using her sway in Trump world. This is textbook corruption and demands investigation.

Rubio is petulantly annoyed because he gave this big speech in Athens about The Future of Western Civilization -- and coincidentally, on the very same day, his ambassador to Greece gets caught soliciting a donor to pay off her $100,000 credit-card bill.

This should alarm every American. Trump is shutting out independent election observers while preparing to send his own DOJ monitors to polling places. That's a page out of Putin's playbook. Our elections belong to the people — not Donald Trump.

The decision not to invite observers from the OSCE puts the U.S. alongside Russia and Belarus, while the Justice Department prepares to deploy its own poll monitors.
