    Reading the full Department of Justice complaint against Thomas Markle Sr. They identify him in various pictures from some decades ago with young girls in the Philippines. The detail is too disturbing to repeat. Feds say they located the abuse to have taken place in a Filipino motel. Sickening. He denies all accusations.

    Still at 100 arrivals a day under Burnham And we’ve had 200,000 since around 2020 So even if the boats stopped today, to zero, there are hundreds of thousands of people to deal with. It’s like saying “oh, inflation is down 50% from last year! Great!” when the peak was 10% inflation and you’re still at 5% inflation which is a disaster

    "I don't think you should listen to anything a politician says. You shouldn't trust anything a politician says." "Including you?" "Yeah." Democratic Senator-elect James Talarico offers an unexpected response when @DanaPerino presses him on whether he still opposes proposals associated with Democratic Socialists of America-backed candidates following his election victory. "What you should do is look at my record. That is what you can trust. Because actions, in my view, speak a lot louder than words." @AmericaNewsroom

    Absolute insanity. In just 40 minutes, the S&P 500 has now erased -$2 trillion in market cap. The entire post-Midterm Election rally has been erased in a matter of minutes. This is one of the fastest market cap losses in stock market history.

    The amount of people who thought @BretBaier was verbally plotting a way to contextually spin election coverage while on live television… outstanding
    Aaron Rupar @atrupar
    Fox reached out to me in response to this tweet 👆and clarified that by "spin," what Bret Baier was referring to was taking a spin on their big board of race calls, not "spinning" in the sense of pushing a narrative. They pointed out that Baier used similar language throughout the night, which you can see for instance in the clip below.

    BRUTAL democrat whitewash in Texas They’ve won the Senate, House and Governorship This is a God fearing Christian state which has just elected a senator who said God is non binary, he hates Christianity, Jesus would have been a radical feminist and there are six biological sexes. Democrat trifecta fatality I guess Texans care more about gas prices and cost of living than they do a war in Iran or GDP figures

    Bill Melugin @BillMelugin_
    Understand the implications of what happened in Texas last night. Gina Hinojosa has called on Gov. Abbott to end state & local cooperation with ICE & she can order that on day one. Hinojosa voted against the 2017 SB 4 as a TX state rep. The bill was essentially a sanctuary cities ban and required TX law enforcement to cooperate with ICE detainers. She then voted against another SB 4 in 2023, which made it a state crime to cross illegally into Texas. Should there be another border crisis in coming years, there will likely be no resistance from Texas at the border. No Texas DPS, no TX National Guard, no razor wire or water buoys, and no Operation Lone Star, which Hinojosa called a “dog and pony show” and “political theater”. Remember when 15,000 Haitians surged illegally into Del Rio, TX in 2021 under the international bridge? That was only stopped because Texas DPS responded on Abbott’s orders and physically blocked further crossings by lining up their cruisers to form a wall. The Biden Border Patrol was caught off guard and offered almost no resistance, except for some horseback agents who were falsely slandered for “whipping”. Additionally, because Republicans failed to pass any legislation codifying President Trump’s border security measures, if Dems take the White House in 2028, that Dem president could, if he/she wants to, reverse every single Trump border security policy immediately upon taking office because they were all done at the executive level, and they can order Border Patrol to go back to a passive catch & release policy like we saw under Biden.
