WOW: Scottish reporter CALLS TRUMP OUT for OBVIOUS lies
Donald Trump touted a supposed "historic" trade deal with the UK, but it turned out to be vague, incomplete, and possibly not even legal. A Scottish reporter confronted Trump directly, accusing him of exaggerating the deal’s significance to distract from economic troubles. Trump responded with a meandering, incoherent defense, underscoring his weak grasp of trade and global economics.
MAGA MELTS DOWN over “woke Marxist Pope”
The Catholic Church has named its first American pope, Cardinal Robert Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, prompting outrage from MAGA figures who view him as too progressive despite his Republican affiliation. This reaction reveals how the MAGA movement prioritizes loyalty to Trump over consistent religious or moral values.

The tariffs function as a regressive tax, raising prices on goods and hitting low-income households the hardest. Powell emphasized that the Fed will not intervene with rate cuts to offset the economic damage caused by these policies.

IT’S OVER: Republican FINALLY ENDS attempt to steal election
Republican Jefferson Griffin conceded the North Carolina Supreme Court race after a six-month legal battle that failed to toss 68,000 valid ballots. Despite losing by 734 votes and multiple recounts, GOP efforts aimed to undermine the result. A Trump-appointed judge rejected the challenge, confirming Democrat Allison Riggs’ win. The GOP then took over the state election board, showing their ongoing assault on democracy.
