Virginia: This State Just Became The First To House All Its Homeless Veterans

On Steve Bannon's Real America's Voice podcast, the jailbird was still mourning over the loss of a true MAGA sycophant Matt Gaetz, and tried to cheer himself up by hoping Matt could be made into some sort of special counsel in the future. Bannon markets himself as someone pulling the strings at the (nonexistent yet) Trump White House.

President Joe Biden was booed by Republicans (see video above) after he rightfully called out the attack on Social Security within the GOP. One of the outraged Republicans was Utah Sen. Mike Lee, who, unsurprisingly, has just launched a post on the Bad App labeling Social Security "a classic bait and switch" and "an outdated, mismanaged system." And, of course, the wealthiest man in the world, Leon Musk, retweeted it to his bazillion followers. The Los Angeles Times reports: You may have been tempted to believe Donald Trump when he swore, along with some of his Republican colleagues, to protect Social Security.

Back in September, amid simmering tensions between South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol and the country’s parliament, opposition leader Lee Jae-myung issued a warning: Yoon and his allies were preparing to declare martial law. The claim was roundly dismissed as alarmist, the irresponsible stuff of conspiracy theories—even by some of Lee’s supporters.

Pete Hegseth and his team are doing a full-court press to try to save his nomination as SecDef and are going as far as threatening the woman who filed a police report for rape against him with legal action if the Senate doesn't confirm him. Hegseth's attorney, Tim Parlatore told Jake Tapper on Wednesday he feels Pete was extorted by his accuser because he paid her to keep quiet. Tonight, he took it further with Kaitlin Collins by threatening legal action. COLLINS: It was settled in an agreement with this woman in 2017.

Sen. Rick Scott defended Pete Hegseth from anonymous sources claiming sexual assault. demanded CNN interview them and then told Jake Tapper they should not be released them from their NDAs. Scott was a whirling dervish of confusion and ridiculous defenses of Trump's Secretary of Defense nominee, causing Jake Tapper to repeatedly interrupt to try to understand the point he was making. On the one hand, Scott asked Tapper if he asked them any questions, complaining that these anonymous sources refused to be interviewed.

Despite a Trump victory, we remain definitively burdened by the Swamp.
