After declaring himself "the affordability president" in a Truth Social post last month, Donald Trump is back to saying that "affordability" is a "con job" by the Democratic Party. The economy and financial struggles are the number one concern of American voters, and the President is actively telling them that they are falling for left wing propaganda by pretending that they are struggling. That's the opposite of a winning message, and Republican candidates are going to have to answer for that in next year's midterm races.A family in Colombia has filed a murder complaint against Pete Hegseth after the father of the family was killed in one of the Trump administration's drone attacks on boats in the Caribbean. The complaint was filed with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, and it could have serious ramifications for Hegseth and other members of the administration if the Commission chooses to go forward with actual criminal charges. This could be the first step in a lengthy process that could eventually rope in the International Criminal Court.Donald Trump continues to rant on and on about his recent cognitive exam, bragging that he "aced it" and that they were "really tough" questions. The exam is actually NOT difficult for people who aren't suffering from any neurological conditions, and one of the sections is just to identify the names of common animals. The President is clearly not well in any way, but he's especially unwell in terms of his cognitive health. Attorney General Pam Bondi is not giving up on her attempts to prosecute Donald Trump's political enemies, even if that means breaking the law to do it. The statute of limitations has now expired for James Comey, meaning that he cannot be indicted again for allegedly lying to Congress. Nevertheless, new reports say that Bondi is desperately trying to find a workaround so that she can fulfill Trump's dreams of seeing the people he hates the most locked away.Pop star Sabrina Carpenter struck a blow against the Trump administration this week, and they aren't happy about it. Carpenter called out the administration for their use of one of her songs in a video showing an ICE raid, blasting the administration as "evil" and "inhumane." The White House immediately tried to clap back, but their insult was as pathetic as possible. Trump seems to have a knack for picking fights (and losing them) with popular female musicians, likely stemming from his gross misogyny.There is little doubt among legal experts that Pete Hegseth violated the law with the strikes that he has authorized against bombing survivors. But that doesn't matter at all - Hegseth will never be held accountable in the United States because Donald Trump will just pardon him and anyone else in the administration accused of breaking the law. This actually gives cabinet members an incentive to violate the law instead of having to follow it, and until the pardon power is stripped from the President, this cycle could continue indefinitely. Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

The Trump administration is desperately trying to convince Americans that Pete Hegseth is NOT the person who ordered the second strike on the wreckage of a bombed boat in the ocean back in September, but no one is buying it. The situation has grown so bad for the Trump administration that even Republicans in the House and Senate are demanding investigations into what actually took place out there. At this point, it makes no sense for Trump to stand with the scandal-plagued Hegseth, and he should just cut his losses. According to new reports, Donald Trump instructed the crews working on his new White House ballroom to IGNORE all codes and laws that they are required to follow for any construction project. This new information comes just weeks after Trump fired the entire board of the Commission on Fine Arts that gets to make final determinations on projects involving historic landmarks and properties. Trump is going to half-ass the project to the point where the next President will have little choice but to tear it down.Donald Trump's lies about the economy - and his plans to fix it - are so ridiculous that even Republican lawmakers aren't buying into it anymore. Between his denials that anything is wrong, Trump has suggested "fixes" for the things he says aren't broken that include checks totaling thousands of dollars for every American and 50-year mortgages that would cause people to spend triple what they normally would on a home while locking them into debt for their entire lives. These plans are not only dumb, they are dangerous, and Republicans aren't happy with what's coming from Trump. Everything in Donald Trump's life is falling apart right now. From his cabinet to his approval rating to the economy and even his businesses - nothing is going well for him. To make things worse, more and more cracks are beginning to form in his Republican coalition as they attack one another, and him, over everything. Things could not be going worse for the President and his Party.Donald Trump has been hit with a lawsuit from a group of plaintiffs alleging that he ran a trafficking operation that they describe as "identical" to that of Jeffrey Epstein. The lawsuit also says that Elon Musk and Bill Gates were a part of it, too. While this certainly sounds like an enormous bombshell, the truth is likely far less interesting - There is nothing in the suit that even comes close to being believable, and this lawsuit could end up helping Trump rather than hurting him.Multiple Republican insiders and strategists spoke to The Hill this week, warning that their party was about to suffer a massive series of losses in 2026, which will culminate in the midterm elections. They said that the growing discontent of the American voters is going to be taken out on the incumbent Party, and there's not a whole lot that they can do to stop this from happening. Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Everything Donald Trump touches turns to trash, and his first year in office has given us too many examples to count. But it isn't just the economy or his foreign policy that have failed - it is everything. A new report shows that Trump has had to pull a record number of his nominees (twenty-two) because he couldn't even get enough Republican support to get these people confirmed. That is unheard of when your Party controls everything.Republican Representative Troy Nehls became the latest Republican in the House to announce that he would be resigning at the end of his current term. This is exactly what we predicted was going to start happening just a week ago, and now it appears that the dominoes are beginning to fall. Republicans do not want to be associated with Trump's failing policies and the expected midterm massacre that's going to take place next November, so they'd rather tuck their tails and run away than stand up against Trump for their constituents. Photos of Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago over the weekend sparked even more speculation that his health is declining faster than we realize. The photos showed a slumped Trump with no color whatsoever on his face or hands, with a facial expression that looked like he was ready to keel over at any given moment. In order to combat the negative publicity, Roger Stone posted a photo of himself with Trump in the Oval Office, claiming that this old photo proves Trump is totally not declining. Donald Trump snapped at multiple female reporters aboard Air Force One this past weekend, just days after he called a female reporter "stupid" and only a week after he told another "quiet, Piggy." Trump has always had a problem with women who are not subservient to him, but something has definitely changed during this second term. His animosity towards strong, intelligent women has gone off the charts, and that could be due to his personal feelings of weakness or possibly even his declining mental health (which can lead to rude, angry outbursts as the sufferer becomes frustrated with themselves.)Donald Trump has made billions of dollars this year, with most of that coming from his crypto firm. But the rug is being pulled out from beneath him, and all of his brands are now losing massive amounts of money as consumers across the globe intentionally try to steer clear of his name. Even Melania Trump's meme coin has plummeted in value, losing more than 99% since its release. The whole Trump empire is nothing more than a flimsily built house of cards that is one breeze away from crashing to earth.According to a new analysis by Reuters, Donald Trump has already targeted 470 different people, institutions, and organizations as part of his "revenge agenda" that is just warming up. Reuters managed to contact many of the people that have been targeted, and they sorted them out into different categories to help people understand just how vicious this administration is being with people whom they perceive to be their "enemies."Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

A leading public health doctor recently told the Meidas Touch podcast that we all need to be worried about Donald Trump's cognitive decline, which is very obviously getting worse. The doctor, Dr. Vin Gupta, pointed out several instances where Trump's mental reactions to events happening around him were definitely warning signs of something potentially serious being wrong. Beyond that, Trump's physical health has also deteriorated to the point where he no longer stands for long periods of time, and multiple videos over the last few months show that he's having severe trouble walking. JD Vance has not been in politics for a long time, and that time might be cut even shorter as polls show that his lead over Republican rivals for the 2028 nomination is shrinking fast. Vance's political career might be over before he can actually be in charge of anything, and he'll be relegated to the "profiles in insignificance" chapter of history books. Republicans love to say that Democrats have no leaders, but the reality is that there is no one in line to take the reins of the GOP in the near future.Libraries across the state of Tennessee have begun shutting down as a new Republican order is forcing them to perform massive reviews of their books to align with the Republican-backed book ban in the state. Never in human history have the people that have banned books been the good guys, but that hasn't stopped Republican voters and politicians from thinking that they are the heroes of this story. They will be viewed as some of the biggest villains of our era.CNN recently spoke with several different people who voted for Donald Trump - many of them having voted for him in 3 separate elections - and they were not happy AT ALL with what has happened to this country since he took over. The main issue they have is with the economy, which they correctly say has gotten so much worse since he took over. All of the other things Trump has done are a mixed bag with voters, but that's only because they don't fully understand how it all connects to the economy. Recently, a columnist with the Chicago Sun Times wrote about how Donald Trump's fragile ego is to blame for his attacks on the 6 Democratic lawmakers that put out the video reminding troops that they have a duty to disobey unlawful orders. That's absolutely correct, but it really only scratches the surface of ALL of the problems that we're facing in this country. Nearly every problem that Trump has caused is due to his massively fragile ego - from his troop deployments on American soil to his attempted prosecutions of his political enemies to his trade policies. Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Donald Trump gave us yet another very clear sign that he is suffering from what appears to be an advanced form of dementia on Thanksgiving by posting the most insane message to Truth Social that he's ever posted. The rant made no sense, had no basis in reality, and was filled with all sorts of slurs and attacks on migrants and Democrats. The man has completely lost his mind, and anyone who says otherwise is lying to themselves. The mother of Karoline Leavitt's nephew has been arrested by ICE. Leavitt's brother said that the 11-year old son that he has with Bruna Ferreria lives with him and his wife full time, but that she still had a relationship with the child up until her arrest and subsequent detainment several weeks ago. Karoline Leavitt has been a vocal supporter of her boss's immigration raids, and never once did she mention that her own nephew could be at risk of losing his mother. Donald Trump had another major meltdown this week after The New York Times reported on his failing health, specifically calling out the fact that the man can't seem to stay awake during events. Trump got on Truth Social and went completely berserk, attacking the Times while also including a litany of lies about how great everything is in this country because of his actions. The man is not only chronically fatigued, but also clearly suffering from delusions of grandeur.An appeals court ruled this week that both Donald Trump and Alina Habba had to pay the $1 million in penalties that were imposed upon them by a lower court for filing a knowingly frivolous lawsuit following Trump's 2020 election loss. The lawsuit that was originally filed was against Hillary Clinton and James Comey (among others) for allegedly concocting the Russiagate scandal, and the courts summarily dismissed the case as having no merit and for being completely frivolous. Habba and Trump were subsequently fined, and the appeals court says that they now have to pay up.The Republican Party, due to Donald Trump, has just received the worst polling news that they could receive with less than a year to go before a critical midterm election cycle. The new poll shows that Latino voters are overwhelmingly turning against the Party and Trump, just one year after they voted for the GOP in record numbers (48%.) This turn signals severe trouble for the Republican, and is so bad that some experts are now saying that the chances of Democrats flipping the Senate have gone way up. Donald Trump loves to tell us that the economy is doing better than ever, and that any parts that aren't doing great are totally Joe Biden's fault. But a new poll shows that a huge majority of voters aren't buying those lies at all, and they are squarely blaming Trump for the economic pain that they are suffering from. To make matters worse, only 20% of Trump's own Republican Party believe that the economy is doing well, proving that even his Party isn't buying the BS that he's selling. For months now, Pam Bondi's DOJ has been plagued with mass resignations of longtime employees and lawyers, and those former DOJ workers are now speaking out about the damage that Bondi and Donald Trump have done to the agency. Some say that the wreckage is so bad that it may actually be "irreversible". The recent ruling from a federal judge about Lindsey Halligan's "unlawful" appointment is only going to lead to more resignations as employeeText and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

According to his own financial disclosure forms, Donald Trump is using his knowledge about deals his own administration is attempting to make to earn himself millions of dollars. Trump's forms show that he recently purchased several million dollars in shares of Intel - the same company that he's trying to have the government purchase a stake in. He made similar purchases of Boeing bonds, the company that stands to profit the most from his potential invasion of Venezuela. Donald Trump has decided to follow through on his administration's promise from several months ago about NOT releasing economic reports to the public. Several months ago, the Trump administration said that it was because the data was being "manipulated" by Democratic plants, but now they're trying to blame it all on the government shutdown. The truth is much more simple: The data is devastating and Donald Trump doesn't want to suffer the humiliation of being the worst president on economic issues since George W. Bush. According to the polling information available, Donald Trump is now more unpopular than at any other point in his two terms in office. But if you step back even further than that, the picture is far more grim. Donald Trump's disapproval rating of 63% (from a recent CNN poll) makes him the LEAST LIKED president since Richard Nixon, and Nixon wasn't truly despised until the Watergate scandal. Since a vast majority of the population is under the age of 50, this means that most of us have never seen a president as despised as Trump. Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Following the dismissal of the cases against James Comey and Letitia James this week, MAGA fanatics furiously took to social media to DEMAND that Donald Trump immediately fire Pam Bondi. Rumors were already circulating that Bondi could be on the chopping block, and following this massive public humiliation Trump may not have much choice left (not that any other sycophant of his could have been successful, but he'll be looking to hold someone responsible for what happened.) Donald Trump and his administration were all set to reveal their "totally not fictional" healthcare plan on Monday, but decided at the last minute to not do it. Instead, the entire country is bracing for major health insurance premium spikes in a month, and we're being ruled by a group of people who refuse to do anything about the healthcare crisis that impacts every one of us. While they may present an undeserved arrogance to the public, behind the scenes the Republicans in the House and Senate are freaking out about the fact that they are poised to be "wiped out" in next year's midterm elections. A few still seem to believe that they can turn things around in the next 11 months, but most are firmly convinced that next year's elections are going to put the "Blue Wave" of 2018 to shame - and polling already suggests that this is the most likely scenario.A very confused Donald Trump reposted a tweet calling for his own impeachment, from an account aptly named "Impeach Trump A 3rd Time." Trump thought that the post was demanding an investigation into Democratic Senator Mark Kelly for reminding troops that they can defy illegal orders, and he blasted it out to millions of his equally-diminished followers. Trump's mental capabilities seem to be getting worse by the day, and the media is still pretending that none of this is happening. Marjorie Taylor Greene still has a little over a month before she's officially out of Congress, but Jasmine Crockett wasn't going to pass up the chance to let Greene have it one last time before she leaves Washington. During an appearance on CNN, Crockett mocked Greene for not being able to "take the heat" after being on the opposite side of Trump for only about a week - compared to those like Crockett who have been fighting back against him for years. She's got a great point about resilience.We may not even have to wait until the midterms for Democrats to regain control of the House of Representatives, as one Republican insider says that the recent shock resignation of Marjorie Taylor Greene is only the beginning. The insider says that Republicans are "tired of being treated like garbage" by Donald Trump and would rather resign than face the massive losses that they are looking at (based on the latest polling data) in next year's midterm elections. The rats are abandoning the sinking ship.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

All is not well in Trumpworld, and reports are beginning to circulate - even in conservative media - that Trump is preparing to make some major cabinet changes in the near future. The two individuals most likely to get the axe are Pam Bondi and Kash Patel. While these two have been among the most loyal to Trump, they are also the most incompetent and have failed at every turn as they try to follow Trump's orders. Loyalty can only take you so far - you have to eventually produce results.After the federal courts struck down Texas' grotesquely gerrymandered new district maps last week, the Republican Party is now in a position where they might actually LOSE seats in next year's elections. The purpose behind the gerrymander was not just to take away seats from Democrats, but to shore up areas that were starting to see an ideological shift from red to blue. The gerrymandered maps could still come back, however, as Texas AG Ken Paxton has announced that he's asking the Supreme Court to save them. According to union officials, only 7% of the air traffic controllers in the country are going to be receiving the $10,000 bonus that Donald Trump promised them for working every day during the longest government shutdown in history. This 7% number is far lower than the total number of employees that had perfect attendance, so it wasn't immediately clear why some may get it while others have already been ruled out. Donald Trump is coming off the worst 10-day period for his poll numbers that he's ever experienced, according to the polling experts. The drops that he's seen are so intense that the experts described them as "shocking." Nevertheless, the President is so detached from reality that he got on Truth Social and bragged about having the highest poll numbers that he's ever received, which is the exact opposite of what happened. The man is so mentally unwell that he's not even living anywhere close to reality anymore.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Donald Trump's decision to be an absolute piece of trash by snapping at a reporter "quiet, piggy" should be one of the easiest things for anyone of any political ideology to condemn. But we don't live in a normal society anymore, and Republicans are now tripping over themselves to DEFEND Trump's decision to prove to the world that he has absolutely no class and possibly the thinnest skin of anyone alive today. US Attorneys in several Northeastern states have confirmed that the Trump administration is planning massive raids on non-English-speaking churches during the holiday season in order to round up as many people as possible. This is one of the most diabolical moves this administration has made, and it goes against everything that these phony right wing evangelicals claim to believe in. The release of the Epstein files is inching closer after both the House and Senate voted this week to force a release of the entirety of the files. But that doesn't mean we'll actually see everything. According to Jeffrey Epstein's brother, Republicans in the Trump administration have been actively scrubbing the names of Republicans from the files in order to prevent any scrutiny - and perhaps avert any potential legal or political problems that Republicans could encounter upon release. The recent Nick Fuentes scandal has blown up MAGA, with some believing that it was perfectly normal for Tucker Carlson to interview Fuentes, while others understand that this is a horrible look for the Republican Party. The situation has gotten so bad that even Laura Loomer has come out and admitted that the GOP seems to have a very real, and growing, Nazi problem. But Fuentes is a symptom of a larger disease that has been festering inside the Republican Party for decades.Multiple judges that were appointed by Donald Trump himself gave the president and the Republican Party a lot of grief this week after smacking down lawsuits and policies that Republicans were depending on. The first humiliation happened when a Trump-appointed judge struck down his defamation lawsuit against CNN, but the biggest defeat were the conservative judges who threw out Texas' recently gerrymandered new district maps that were supposed to cement the Republicans' majority in Texas for a decade.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Attorney General Pam Bondi has been the most loyal stooge out of Donald Trump's entire cabinet. She's also been his biggest failure. So far, everything that Bondi has done (on Trump's orders) has failed in the most hilarious ways imaginable, and those failures are going to become a point of contention for her and Trump if she continues to screw up. The latest disaster is her handling of the James Comey indictment that is about to be completely dismissed.Donald Trump has decided to try out his "sales pitch" for American voters on how he can help their economic struggles, and it isn't one that's going to leave anyone feeling better about their finances. At the McDonald's Impact Summit this week, Trump talked about affordability but only by saying that voters were "lucky" that he won the election instead of Kamala Harris. He then tried to pin all of the economic pain being felt today on Biden and Harris, something that voters are not buying for a second.Two months ago the media was tripping over itself to tell us that the Left is overly violent and vicious, and that we needed to tone down the rhetoric (even though statistics proved the exact opposite.) Those same media outlets are completely silent right now as Donald Trump's rabid base threatens the life of Marjorie Taylor Greene following a weekend of Trump calling her a "traitor" and other inflammatory names. Greene is garbage, there's no question about that, but the MAGA lunatics that are threatening her are even worse.The Trump administration is now testing out a new talking point for Americans who are struggling to afford basic necessities: Blame immigrants. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent launched the new talking point this week during an appearance on Fox News, where he falsely claimed that some of the high prices we're seeing right now are because of immigrants. The truth is that Trump's tariffs are the main driver of higher prices, and the LACK of migrant labor is also driving prices even higher than usual. Donald Trump made a shocking admission to reporters recently, saying that he had "no idea" why his doctors made him undergo an MRI. The obvious conclusion based on Trump's statement is that he's absolutely lying and he knows EXACTLY what they were looking for. But if we take his statement at face value then we have to assume that he's suffering from serious health problems that could be so bad that his doctors are afraid to tell him what's happening. There's also a third possibility that actually makes even more sense.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

More and more Republicans across the country are starting to stand up to Donald Trump and defy his orders, and it is driving him completely insane. He's now directing his wrath at Republicans in Indiana for refusing to vote to gerrymander their state the way that others have (and the other states have received intense backlash for doing so.) Trump is calling on MAGA acolytes to primary these Republicans, but he doesn't seem to understand that he's the one who has been exposed as a weak and feckless leader. Donald Trump is so desperate to distract everyone from the barrage of Epstein files being released that he's resorting to things that can only be described as comical. At the end of last week, he demanded that Pam Bondi start investigating Bill Clinton and several other prominent figures that are believed to have ties to Epstein, and Bondi immediately complied. But he's not fooling anyone, and his distraction efforts aren't doing anything to stop him from being completely consumed by this scandal. After roughly a year of being in complete limbo with odds increasing that it was going to die forever, the prosecution of Donald Trump in the state of Georgia is back on. A new prosecutor has agreed to take up the case after Fani Willis was removed and no other prosecutor was willing to take on such a daunting task. While the prosecution itself likely won't happen while Donald Trump is still in office, the fact that the case has effectively been revived is absolutely a positive development.Donald Trump's mental health has taken a turn for the worse, and that's not good for a man whose sanity and mental abilities were already questionable. But he has been hit with the perfect storm of problems in the month of November, and he doesn't know how to handle a single one of them. All he can do is get on Truth Social and scream into the void about how unfair everything is and how all of his problems are somehow just "hoaxes" being created by the Democratic Party. Donald Trump recently held a private dinner with some of the biggest CEOs in the country, and those who attended told reporters that Trump was basically asking them how to be president. Specifically, he was asking for advice on the issue of "affordability," even though he proclaimed on social media just days later that "affordability is a joke." The man has absolutely no idea what he's doing or how to be a leader, and his plea to business leaders is just further proof of that. Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Donald Trump's support among Republican voters has cratered in recent weeks as the economic pain of his policies becomes too much for them to overlook. Even without the growing Epstein scandal, Republican voters were already turning against Trump over his policies - but the new scandal won't help him much, either. Trump is in serious trouble, and voters are going to take it out on the entire Republican Party next year.Attorney General Pam Bondi got absolutely trashed by the judge overseeing the joint motions from James Comey and Letitia James last week as they seek to challenge the placement of Lindsey Halligan as the US Attorney in Virginia. Bondi had told the judge via filings that the indictments are valid no matter what because Bondi herself looked over the grand jury transcripts before Halligan even got the job. However, the judge pointed out that this was an obvious lie because the transcripts didn't exist at that point in time. Bondi is in MAJOR trouble.Trump-supporting pastor Joel Webbon called upon Donald Trump last week to start rounding up his political enemies and throwing them in prison. Webbon made it clear that "sternly worded tweets" weren't going to cut it, and that he needed to go after politicians, judges, and possibly even average citizens who dare to stand to Trump. This is a form of psychosis that really should be labeled "Trump Derangement Syndrome," and it is not a normal way for a human being to think.According to a new analysis, inflation under Donald Trump has grown so much that the average family is spending an extra $700 per month on basic necessities. This comes as Trump continues to tell Americans that inflation isn't happening and that it is all a big hoax by the Democrats. American families are suffering, and the one person who can fix the problem is refusing to acknowledge that the problem even exists. Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

As Americans increasingly struggle to afford basic necessities like food, Donald Trump continues to insist that the problem isn't real. In fact, he went beyond just calling it not real and actually concocted an elaborate conspiracy as to why people "think" that prices are high. The man has lost any and all touch with reality, and his denials of our problems are going to make things so much worse for all of us. Pam Bondi's Department of Justice was forced to admit to a federal judge this week that they made a major mistake - but they swear that they won't do it again. The mistake - which they have made in multiple different prosecutions - is that they blabbed about the case on social media and demonized the defendant, thereby tainting the entire potential jury pool. This particular case involves a prosecution that began under Alina Habba in New Jersey after she indicted a sitting lawmaker on bogus charges. During his disastrous appearance on Laura Ingraham's Fox News program this week, Donald Trump claimed that "no one knows what a magnet is." He didn't say that no one knows how they work - he literally said no one knows what they ARE. This brings us to the latest edition of "If Biden had done this," because the media would have been calling for Joe's immediate resignation if he ever said anything even remotely as insane as this. But Trump, as usual, gets a free pass from the media and therefore the public to continue to show off his dementia. In spite of the staggering number of problems that the President of the United States should be dealing with, Donald Trump sent his lawyers to the Supreme Court this week to file a motion asking them to overturn the verdict against him from the first defamation lawsuit from E. Jean Carroll. That particular verdict has already been upheld by two appellate courts, but that isn't stopping Trump from asking his good friends on the Supreme Court to step in and save him from the mess he created for himself. Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Donald Trump still insists that he's going to send every single American a check for $2,000 from the tariff money that he's bringing in, but when he was pressed about the math this week, he couldn't do basic addition and subtraction. The amount of the alleged rebate checks would far exceed the yearly revenue from the tariffs, meaning that the government would actually LOSE billions of dollars with this idea - and that might be why Scott Bessent immediately shut it down.With the federal government set to reopen, House Speaker Mike Johnson was left with no choice but to swear in recently-elected Democrat Adelita Grivalja. With that happening, the vote on the discharge petition to get the Epstein files released is now imminent. According to reports, there is a sense of panic about this among Republicans, including The White House, as they know that there is nothing they can do to stop it - though Trump has been desperately trying to distract people from it. While Americans are struggling to afford food, Donald Trump's administration has been secretly handing out major tax breaks totaling hundreds of billions of dollars to the wealthiest companies and industries in the country. These tax cuts go above and beyond what was included in the "One Big Beautiful Bill," and they are being directed by multi-millionaire Scott Bessent and his Treasury Department. Donald Trump's own Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, appears to be actively trying to sabotage the President from inside the administration. In the past few days, Bessent has publicly contradicted several major proclamations from Trump, saying that they either won't happen or the ideas that he has simply don't exist. But Bessent's comments aren't getting the same level of coverage as Trump's bold proclamations, so most people don't even know that his own administration is telling us that none of this is real. Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Over the weekend, Donald Trump promised that he was going to send out $2,000 rebate checks to every single American that would be paid for using the tariff revenue (our money) that the government has collected. This promise was immediately killed by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent within minutes, but the backtrack wasn't heard or seen by as many people as Trump's promise. This is how the media typically works.Donald Trump issued a series of sweeping pardons on Sunday to his scumbag friends that worked to overturn the results of the 2020 election. While most people were angry about this move, the real reaction we should have is one of pure joy. The pardons only cover the federal crimes they allegedly committed, and those investigations died a long time ago. The rest of the charges these people are facing are state-level, and if they accept a pardon they can lose their 5th Amendment rights, according to the Supreme Court. This was actually a very stupid move for Trump.The Trump administration announced their absolutely insane plan to have people start taking out 50-year mortgages in order to get more people to buy homes. This plan has been blasted by economists and analysts from both sides of the aisle who recognize that it is an economic disaster waiting to happen. The proposal will prevent homeowners from building equity, and will also be a longer drain on their credit, preventing them from being able to make other big-ticket purchases. After years of calling President Biden "Sleepy Joe," karma has come back to bite Donald Trump in a big way. The current President is struggling to stay awake during press conferences and other events, and the entire country got to witness this first hand on multiple occasions in the last week. The man's mental and physical health is rapidly deteriorating, and in spite of what we can all see, the White House insists that he's the healthiest and most energetic person who has ever lived.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Last week's election losses for Republicans turned out to be a major "lightbulb moment" for Republican lawmakers, and multiple new reports are telling us that these lawmakers are preparing to ignore Donald Trump for the remainder of his "lame duck" administration. They realize now that he is not as powerful or influential as he wants everyone to believe, and they also learned the hard way that blindly following him will lead to an electoral massacre. Donald Trump's cognitive decline might be even worse than we thought. New photos from The White House have revealed that the administration installed a new, gold-lettered sign indicating where the Oval Office is located, which many believe is to remind Trump how to actually get to work. This isn't just part of the ongoing renovations, as the sign is just printed on poster paper, so clearly it isn't meant to be a permanent fixture.As millions of Americans were worried about food security because her father was delaying the release of SNAP funds, Ivanka Trump was on social media promoting her new, for-profit food company that she co-founded. The Internet immediately lit up with people calling out her "tone deaf" sales pitch as Americans go hungry and struggle to afford basic grocery necessities. The timing for Ivanka really could not be worse.Not long after the horrific jobs report showing that the economy shed more than 100,000 jobs last month and layoffs have hit recession-levels, another report came out showing that Donald Trump has caused America to cross another grim economic milestone: Household debt is now at an all-time high. After increasing by nearly $200 BILLION in the last quarter, total household debt across the country now tops $18 TRILLION. And with prices increasing on everything, that number is expected to continue to rise at a record pace.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Donald Trump's brain has completely the process of completely breaking down after the breathtaking losses that Republicans suffered in this week's election. Following their embarrassing defeats, Trump met with Senate Republicans this week to discuss reopening the government, but he couldn't stop himself from veering off course to talk about things that aren't even real. The man is absolutely off his rocker, to put it gently.A very panicked Steve Bannon begged Donald Trump this week to do everything in his power to overturn the massive electoral victories that Democrats achieved on Tuesday. Bannon is urging Trump to use the Department of Justice to challenge election results, in spite of the fact that there's zero evidence that anything out of the ordinary happened. Bannon was so cocky a week ago when he claimed Trump would serve a third term, but a healthy dose of reality has turned him into a whiny baby. Kristi Noem's Department of Homeland Security decided to mock a woman who wrote an op-ed for USA Today over the fact that her husband - who is in the country LEGALLY - has been detained for weeks by ICE. Noem's department falsely claims that the man, a British journalist, was supporting terrorist organizations, even though they have failed to provide a shred of evidence to support this claim. The agency is in the business of cruelty, and we all need to realize that they are pure evil. This week's electoral losses for the Republican Party appear to have been a wake up call to many members of the GOP - including those INSIDE Trump's administration. According to a new report, this "the emperor has no clothes" moment could cause some of Trump's most trusted insiders to turn against him, or at the very least start providing a little more pushback against his insane plans and goals. Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Pam Bondi's Department of Justice has told the judge overseeing their political prosecution of New York Attorney General Letitia James that her office will NOT be complying with a recent court order. The court, at James' request, had ordered the DOJ to turn over all materials relating to Lindsey Halligan's appointment as US Attorney, as well as documents about her interactions with the grand jury. Without this information being turned over, it is likely that the case will be dismissed very quickly. Karoline Leavitt became visibly flustered and resorted to her usual lies when she was asked a question about Donald Trump's clearly failing health this week. The question specifically asked why Trump had an MRI and why the White House hasn't given a reason for it, and Leavitt claimed that even Trump didn't know why it happened, but she claimed that he's absolutely doing great. If any of this is true, then it is proof that his health is far worse than anyone thought.An adviser to Donald Trump told Axios this week that the President is prepared to make the lives of Republicans "a living hell" if they don't do what he's demanding of them, which is to eliminate the filibuster. But after this week's election results, Republicans are going to be even less likely to get rid of the legislative tool, as it is more likely to hurt them in the future. But Trumps' threat is real, and we know that because he's already made everybody else's lives a living hell.A 63-year old Donald Trump voter who recently retired to take care of her 26-year old daughter told NBC News this week that she desperately regrets supporting Trump after she lost her SNAP benefits. More and more MAGA voters seem to be coming around and realizing that Trump doesn't care if they live or die, and the stories of people abandoning the MAGA movement are becoming more frequent than Republicans want to acknowledge. Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

A federal appeals court has ordered Judge Aileen Cannon to stop delaying the release of former special prosecutor Jack Smith's report on Donald Trump's theft of classified documents after months of delaying the release. The Appeals Court found that Cannon had absolutely no valid reason for delaying the release of the report, and they strongly suggested that it was just a feeble attempt to protect the man who put her in power - and who may end up putting her on the Supreme Court some day.Donald Trump keeps insisting that he has "handled" inflation and that prices for consumers are going down, but reality shows the exact opposite happening. The situation has gotten so bad that even his own administration can't lie about it anymore, and the Treasury Department admitted publicly this week that inflation is remaining "above target." That's a fancy way to say that Trump is failing at everything having to do with economics (and everything NOT involving economics.) The Trump administration is in the process of actively training American military personnel for a ground invasion of Mexico. The administration claims that they are going to be going after the cartels, but that's a flimsy pretext for launching a war against our neighboring country. This administration is absolutely pushing the limits of what is tolerable for the American public, and invading our closest geographical ally is likely not going to be the polling boom that Trump believes it will be. Transportation Secretary and former reality show contestant Sean Duffy threw an absolute temper tantrum this week and threatened to shut down ALL of the airspace over America. This little twit who knows nothing about his job is angry over the ongoing government shutdown, and he wants to take out his rage on Americans who wish to travel this holiday season. This would not only hurt peoples' travel plans, it would also create a massive economic slump that could be the catalyst that launches a full blown recession.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

In an absolutely unhinged meltdown on Truth Social, Donald Trump suggested that making fun of him should be a criminal offense. Trump was angry over a segment on Seth Meyer's late night show that happened several days earlier, and the fascist president decided that any mockery of him should be "illegal." We have seen Trump follow through on threats against late night hosts in the past, so this isn't a statement we should dismiss. Americans are going without their SNAP benefits this week, meaning that millions of adults and children might not have food this week as the government shutdown drags on. But instead of helping those in need, the Trump administration has decided to invest money in creating a spoof MySpace website to mock Democrats. THIS is how they choose to spend their time as the people who put them in power struggle to put food on the table. This should be in every single attack ad from now until the 2028 presidential elections.CBS did for Trump what Trump claimed the network did for Vice President Kamala Harris. Donald Trump's 60 Minutes interview that aired on Sunday evening was highly edited to cut out some of his more insane rants and claims, making the president appear far more coherent and rational than he actually is. This is EXACTLY what Trump sued the network for and he got millions of dollars from them in the process. Democrats need to follow suit and set an example that they won't let this go unpunished. We have heard Republican politicians tell us for decades that the federal government is bad and that the individual states should handle everything from education to disaster relief because they were better equipped for that. All of these "the states do it better" talking points were lies, and we're watching those lies unravel in real time as most states admit that they can't handle the burden of people going hungry as SNAP benefits dry up. The states are begging for help because they aren't equipped to do much of anything on their own.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

The visibly frail and cognitively impaired President of the United States got on Truth Social to whine about the fact that he had to "work really hard" during his trip to Asia last week. Trump whined that Chuck Schumer called the trip a failure, which it was, and Trump then accused Schumer of treason over those remarks. The whole thing shows what a crybaby Trump really is, as Farron explains. In a little-noticed talk with reporters last week, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. admitted that he DOES NOT have "sufficient evidence" to back up his claim from September that Tylenol is linked to increased rates of autism. This is a massive departure from the grand press briefing he held with Donald Trump where Trump repeatedly yelled "DON'T TAKE TYLENOL." And the new claim from Kennedy came just one day after the Texas Attorney General announced they were suing the makers of Tylenol based on Kennedy's initial claims. FBI Director Kash Patel was busted recently by a right wing critic of his for using the FBI's private jet to travel out of state to go watch his VERY young girlfriend perform at a country music festival. The worst part, aside from the disturbing age difference between Patel and his girlfriend, is that this isn't even the first time this year that he's used the agency's $60 million plane for a date night - it's not even the second time he's done it this year! A mass purge of people who could tell Donald Trump "no" is underway throughout the federal government in ways that most people don't even realize. From leadership at Homeland Security, to the Department of Defense, to the Department of Justice, and even the Commission of Fine Arts, Trump is getting rid of anyone who might stand in the way of his grand plans. This is exceptionally dangerous for the country, and things are only going to get worse as he replaces people who had consciences with spineless yes men. Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

During his trip to Asia this week, Donald Trump decided that he wanted to further humiliate the entire United States by doing a horrific, and possibly even racist, impression of the Prime Minister of India. As bad as this was on an international stage, what might be even worse is that the mentally declining president didn't make an iota of sense during his speech, and came across as the demented old fool that most Americans see him as. While talking with reporters aboard Air Force One this week, Donald Trump appeared to threaten to send ANY branch of the military that he chooses into US cities to police American citizens. This is obviously NOT allowed, as using the military for law enforcement is expressly forbidden by US law, but the President doesn't seem to know or care about the rules of this country. The man is becoming increasingly lawless and unhinged, and that is always a devastating combination.At Pam Bondi's Department of Justice, embracing reality is now a fireable offense. Bondi this week suspended at least 2 prosecutors that we know of because they mentioned in a legal filing that a "mob of violent protesters" stormed the Capitol on January 6th, 2021. That is an indisputable fact, but facts have no place inside the Trump administration. The links that they are going to in order to deny reality are truly breathtaking.Republican Senator Ted Cruz is not happy about Marjorie Taylor Greene calling out Republican Senators (and with her siding with Democrats on a few key issues,) and he's now urging his entire Party to ignore her. Greene has shockingly been making a little bit of sense recently, and that appears to be driving the rest of the Party crazy. But Cruz is not as loud and prevalent as he once was, and Greene's microphone is much larger these days.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

With SNAP benefits set to run dry this coming weekend, half of the states in this country (25) have joined in a lawsuit against the Trump administration for refusing to use the contingency fund for SNAP to prevent benefits from expiring and residents from going hungry. This total includes several deep red states that overwhelmingly voted for Trump, but even they can't deny the fact that HE is the one responsible for the benefits running dry - NOT the Democrats as Trump claims.A federal judge this week trashed Attorney General Pam Bondi and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for repeatedly making false claims about a high profile defendant, in spite of the fact that they had already been ordered to stop. The defendant in question is Kilmar Abrego Garcia, and the administration is now attempting to deport him to Africa, but their rationale has repeatedly fallen through under the lightest scrutiny.The dating scene can be tough, and for conservative women in the very liberal city of Washington, D.C., it can be an absolute nightmare. The Washington Post caught up with some Republican women who are navigating the DC dating scene, and they didn't have any kind words to share about the MAGA men they've been introduced to. According to one woman - who happens to be a Congressional staffer on the Hill - MAGA men are simply not masculine enough to make her feel secure. That's a tough blow to a group of men that are already suffering from low self-esteem.Donald Trump is full of complaints. In fact, it is rare to find anything that actually brings him joy, other than when he lies about how great he is. But the President shared a meme this week thanking himself for "working like a dog" for "no money" for "ungrateful people" who don't appreciate his sacrifices. The man has already made BILLIONS of dollars this year alone off his crypto scams and deals with foreign governments, so anyone saying that he's working for "no money" is too stupid to talk about anything. Earlier this week, Farron compared to voter fraud as being as nonexistent as Bigfoot. That comment didn't sit well with some of our viewers, and they decided to let Farron know that Bigfoot is, in fact, very real. Farron addresses this major scandal surrounding the existence of the legendary cryptid.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

In the past three months we have been inundated with reports of ICE agents deploying chemical weapons in situations that didn't even come close to calling for it. Police officers have been tear gassed, protesters have been gassed, and a school was forced to shut down permanently due to the amount of tear gas deployed down the street from it. But this past weekend might be the worst of all, as residents of a Chicago neighborhood reported that the community was gassed while children in Halloween costumes were preparing for a parade.Several members of the National Guard are refusing to obey Donald Trump's clearly illegal orders to descend upon the city of Chicago. While the numbers are small - literally just two people - it is a sign that cracks are forming in the military and that we have people who know that their duty is to the Constitution - not a fake-tanned dictator in training. A single act of defiance can cause an avalanche of resistance, and that's what this moment is calling for right now. Voters in deep red Iowa helped lead Trump to victory in 2024, but they aren't suffering from any delusions about who is to blame for the current state of the US economy. These MAGA voters say that the cause of their economic pain is coming from Trump himself, and they aren't happy about it. While their struggles are never good, the fact that they aren't buying into the White House propaganda is certainly a positive development.With the government shutdown still going on, benefits for SNAP recipients could dry up starting next week. There is a contingency fund that allows the benefits to keep flowing when funding is gone, but the Trump administration is refusing to use those funds because they want people to suffer and to blame Democrats for that suffering. Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson is also working to convince the public that Democrats are to blame for the lack of SNAP funding, but the facts are crystal clear about who is really holding up those benefits. Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Donald Trump had a complete meltdown during his visit to Asia after learning that everyone back home hates him. Trump apparently decided to look at his dismal poll numbers on the trip, and got on Truth Social as soon as he could to let the world know that all those poll numbers are totally fake. As usual, he didn't offer any evidence or reason as to why the media is allegedly faking his poll numbers.Health experts and doctors are sounding the alarms after Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s latest anti-health medical guidance. The Secretary of Health and  Human Services updated the nation's dietary guidelines and called for us to consume MORE saturated fats, in spite of the increased consumption leading to more heart disease and cardiovascular problems. The man who had part of his brain eaten by a worm seems to be actively trying to kill us as quickly as possible.The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a ruling by a 3-member panel of their court after it was brought to their attention that the federal government LIED to the panel in order to get a favorable verdict. The case involved the administration's attempt to federalize the Oregon National Guard in order to send them to Portland, and the administration had told the court that they had to deploy 25% of the nation's Federal Protective Service officers to the city in order to protect federal buildings. It turns out that the number was a complete fabrication, but that number was used to get a favorable ruling from the judicial panel. Donald Trump admitted to reporters recently that he isn't concerned about the legality of his drone strikes on boats in the Caribbean and now the Pacific, and instead just says that they're going to keep killing people. Trump's language was actually even far more blunt about how he wants these people to die. To make matters worse, an official with the administration has now admitted that most of these boats didn't even have the capacity to make it to the United States. But that fact isn't stopping Pete Hegseth from deploying an aircraft carrier to carry out more strikes on more potentially-innocent civilians.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

An official in the Trump administration who rose to prominence by challenging the 2020 election results has suggested a sinister plan to steal next year's midterm elections for Republicans. And this isn't a new plan - it was actually discussed MONTHS ago, but was only now discovered. The plan is to have a series of phony investigations serve as a cover for Trump to declare a state of emergency that allows him to commandeer state election systems.Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin of Virginia declared a state of emergency last week for the sole purpose of trying to blame Democrats for the ongoing government shutdown. In his announcement, Youngkin managed to squeeze in the word "Democrat" in every sentence, except for the sentence where he was heaping praise on Donald Trump. Republicans are getting desperate in their attempts to pin this on the Democrats, but the public isn't buying it at all.The FBI has been forced to retract their denial that no children were ziptied during a recent immigration raid in Idaho. After reporters confronted the agency with photographs of actual children being ziptied and hauled away like livestock by FBI agents, the agency then amended their statement to say that no "young" children received this treatment. We are dealing with an administration of monsters, and the zipties weren't even the worst thing to happen to the people during this raid. If we view everything that Donald Trump does as symptoms, then there is little doubt that the man is suffering from dementia. That is the non-diagnostic opinion of Psychologist Dr. John Gartner, who recently went through the list of Trump's biggest "gaffes" of the last few months and explained how each one can be linked to dementia. Dr. Gartner has been sounding the alarm bells about Trump's mental health since his first term, and says that the psychological issues can exacerbate the neurological symptoms.Donald Trump was humiliated by Canada after a group in their country ran an ad featuring Ronald Reagan's address where he warned against using tariffs, so of course Trump is increasing the tariffs on goods from Canada in response. He still seems to think that tariffs are paid by the country they are imposed on, instead of being paid by American consumers in the form of tax hikes. But we will all be paying more in taxes now just because Trump got mad at his TV.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Not all forms of dementia are genetic, but there are enough that are that every member of the Trump family should be concerned. The one who should be most concerned at the moment is Donald Trump, Jr., as he appears to be suffering from the same form of cognitive decline as his father, but obviously exhibiting symptoms at a far younger age than his father or grandfather ever did. Donald Trump may be the biggest headline maker for his insane lies, but he's not the only member of the Republican Party capable of twisting reality on its head. This week, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson showed just how callous and delusional he can be when he downplayed the threats against Hakeem Jeffries life by saying that the No Kings protesters (and "violence" from the Left in general) are far worse. This has been repeatedly disproven by the actual data, but facts have no place in today's Republican Party.Melania Trump is having one of the worst weeks ever after being hit with a billion dollar lawsuit, as well as watching as the creators of her 'meme coin' get hit with a massive fraud lawsuit. The First Lady has been noticeably quiet throughout the second term of her husband, and the few times she's popped into the public spotlight have been a disaster. But these lawsuits show that her husband is not the only one in the family that engages in intimidation tactics and deceptive practices.Donald Trump thinks that his own supporters are stupid, and he said as much during a tirade on Truth Social this week. While he was specifically talking about the cattle ranchers that have been angered by his recent moves with Argentina, he repeatedly said that they just don't "understand" what he's doing, which is the most polite way ever that Trump has ever said that a group of people are stupid. But make no mistake - that is exactly what Trump means.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Donald Trump is demanding that the DOJ pay him $230 million for the indictments that he suffered last year and the criminal trials that never ended up happening. This demand will be decided by the very people that depend on Trump for a job, and there's little doubt that they will give in to his demand. This may be the straw that breaks the camel's back for millions of Americans who will NOT look kindly on Trump stealing their tax dollars to put directly into his bank account. During an appearance on Steve Bannon's podcast this week, Mike Lindell, the self-described "broke" founder of MyPillow, teased a potential run for public office. While going on an Islamaphobic rant about the state of Minnesota, Lindell teased a potential run for governor against incumbent Tim Walz, who is one of the most-liked governors in the country. Lindell has no chance of winning, but a political campaign can raise a lot of money for someone that is in need of cash.Donald Trump was hit with a rather humorous new lawsuit (though it 100% has merit) this week over his "big beautiful bill." One of the provisions of the bill is that asylum seekers are now required to pay the government $100 to come into the country, but in their haste to write and pass the bill, nobody bothered to set up a system to even receive these payments. The administration now has to go to court to explain why they are such complete failures at EVERYTHING - unless it was all part of an evil scheme to prevent any asylum seekers in the first place. They will either be exposed as idiots or monsters.Donald Trump's political prosecution of New York Attorney General Letitia James is basically over at this point, after a legal analyst pointed out a massive flaw in US Attorney Lindsey Halligan's charging documents. It turns out that the very thing they indicted James for (misusing a mortgage loan for a rental property) was EXPLICITLY ALLOWED in her loan documents. In other words - James is being charged for doing something that the bank told her she was allowed to do. This is effectively "case dismissed."Donald Trump made a lot of people from across the political spectrum angry last week when he commuted the sentence of fraudster and former Republican Congressman George Santos, wiping out years of his prison sentence as well as the restitution that he owed his victims. But justice has a funny way of coming back to bite you. Santos can still face charges at the state level, and the District Attorney in Nassau County teased that charges could be on the way against Santos very soon. Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

On a flight back from Las Vegas, I found myself sitting next to a man that decided to watch Fox News on his monitor while also streaming conservative media on his phone. During this time, I couldn't help but pay attention to the parade of lies I saw on both screens, even without audio. It was obvious that this passenger was so far gone that he couldn't function without conservative media being constantly pumped into his brain, and this made me come to unfortunate conclusions. In an interview that was published this week, Marjorie Taylor Greene admitted that Republicans are going to lose the midterms next year, and the thought of actually gaining any seats is now a distant memory. Greene is continuing her assault on her own Party, but her hatred of her own side aside, she actually has a good point that is rooted in all of the available data - an unusual coincidence for her.ICE was gifted an additional $170 billion from the "One Big Beautiful Bill" this summer, and they have already gone on a massive spending spree. The spending is mainly focused on weapons, but they aren't just settling for routine cop gear - The agency has gone all out buying military weapons that include "guided missile warheads." ICE is not supposed to be attacking anyone, as their job is to apprehend and detain, but they are clearly aiming to become an extension of Donald Trump's domestic warfare. Alina Habba is still fighting to keep her job as the temporary US Attorney for New Jersey, and the courts in New Jersey heard her appeal on Monday. There is a lot riding on her success or failure with this case because it could determine whether all of Trump's political prosecutions get immediately thrown out. The prosecutor in Virginia, Lindsey Halligan, is serving under the same circumstances as Habba - so if Habba can't prosecute then neither can Halligan. It was only a month ago that nearly every conservative pundit and politician was sounding the alarm about the so-called violent and hateful rhetoric from the Left. But they clearly have forgotten how much they hate the meanness, because Karoline Leavitt recently decided to go full fascist during an attack on every Democrat in the country. This is reminiscent of Hillary Clinton's "deplorable" line, which caused conservatives to collectively wet themselves for years after it happened. Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Last summer, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down one of the most dangerous rulings in modern American history — declaring that anything a president does as an “official act” is protected by presidential immunity, even if it's illegal. That means Trump — or any future president — could commit crimes while in office and never face accountability. Under Donald Trump's new administration, many Americans are finally doing what they once only threatened to do — leaving the country. From families moving overseas to LGBTQ+ parents fearing for their children's safety, Trump's America has become a place where millions no longer feel secure.What happens to MAGA when Donald Trump is gone? Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

According to a real YouTube comment from a self-identified MAGA supporter, basic grammar may be the latest casualty of the MAGA movement.Calls for the 25th Amendment to remove Donald Trump are growing louder as his mental health continues to decline — and as he increasingly behaves like a wannabe dictator, sending the military against his own people. Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker has called for it. So have multiple Democratic members of Congress. But there's just one problem: the 25th Amendment can only be invoked by Trump's own Cabinet and Vice President — and that's never going to happen.The new Supreme Court term is already packed with explosive cases — and one of the biggest could decide whether Donald Trump has the power to unilaterally impose tariffs on other countries without Congress.Donald Trump promised to release the Epstein files — and so did his Cabinet, his advisors, and his media allies. But months later, nothing. No transparency. No accountability. No files. Instead, Trump's team and House Speaker Mike Johnson appear to be blocking their release entirely. After years of division, corruption, and chaos, Americans are asking the same question: Can the United States survive Donald Trump and the MAGA movement?Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Marjorie Taylor Greene has decided to go scorched earth against her own Republican Party, as well as some of Donald Trump's signature policies, and the reaction from voters might surprise you. Rather than being angry about her attacking Trump on issues ranging from tariffs to the Epstein files to Obamacare subsidies, voters in her district are actually THRILLED that she is standing up for the things that they want. This is getting a little too weird for comfort as Greene seems to be maturing as a person and a member of Congress.Dr. Phil McGraw decided to end his popular daytime talk show a few years ago so that he could launch his own media company that went full MAGA. It didn't work out well for him, as the company had to file for bankruptcy this summer after laying off tons of employees. But that's just the beginning of the problems that Dr. Phil has faced since trying to become the new voice of conservative politics, as his latest business venture is also facing hard times after only existing for a few months. Cheryl Hines, mediocre actress and current wife of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., went on The View this week where she was finally asked to explain the brain worm that her husband brought up - unprovoked - on the campaign trail last year. Hines insisted that the worm only "ate a little bit" of her husband's brain before dying, making the statement as if it were the most natural thing in the world to admit.Thousands of text messages have been obtained by Politico showing the disgusting group chats happening between leaders of Young Republican groups across the country. The messages are filled with racist comments and slurs, adoration for Adolph Hitler, and even fantasies about assault and murder and torture. These young people are clearly deeply disturbed and need mental health services immediately, but they instead found a home in today's Republican Party and they were shaping up to be the next generation of leaders of the GOP. Time Magazine ran a litany of articles in their latest issue this week praising Donald Trump for things he probably shouldn't even be getting credit for. But in spite of the praise, he still took issue with the magazine and had a meltdown over the cover photo that they used. Trump whined on social media that it made it look like his hair had "disappeared" and how much he never liked photos from that angle. But what's really upsetting Trump is that he realized that he actually looks like that.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Multiple airports across the country are refusing to air a lie-filled video message from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem where she blames the government shutdown on Democrats in Congress. TSA employees said that passengers were sickened by the message that she recorded, as were airport employees. Noem is trying to use the shutdown to hurt Democrats, much like Trump, but their efforts are failing as most Americans squarely blame the Party in charge - The Republicans - for the shutdown. While surrounded by leaders from across the globe in Egypt on Monday celebrating a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, Donald Trump decided that this would be the perfect time to publicly humiliate the Prime Minister of Italy. But unlike usual, he didn't do it by insulting her - he did it by getting overly creepy with his compliments of her. He talked about how beautiful she is and even admitted that he shouldn't be saying that. The worst part is that this isn't even the first time he's done this with her - or the second. The deadline for media outlets to sign onto Pete Hegseth's new, First Amendment-violating press requirements hit this week, and most media outlets surprisingly refused to sign on. What's even more shocking than learning that some outlets still have remnants of a spine is that even pro-Trump MAGA media outlets are also refusing to give in to these demands. Newsmax announced that they would not be signing the agreement, putting their credentials at risk along with the rest of the media. This is a small stand, but it is one that should be celebrated.Donald Trump's political prosecution of James Comey is off to a much worse start than expected, as the judge overseeing the case has already dealt a fairly crushing blow to the prosecutors. Prosecutors had requested that the deadline for turning over their discovery (evidence) be extended to give them more time, but the judge absolutely refused to do it, suggesting that if they had the evidence they claim to have then it should already be ready to go. The judge knows EXACTLY what's going on, and that's going to end poorly for the prosecutionText and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Late last week, Donald Trump threatened to slap 100% tariffs on China on top of the 30% he had already imposed after the country announced that they were tightening restrictions on the export of rare earth metals. The markets immediately went into a tailspin, causing Trump to have to chicken out of his latest threat - even though China didn't make any concessions and is keeping the new restrictions in place. Donald Trump showed off his dementia once again this past weekend when he declared on Truth Social that "Biden" placed 274 FBI agents in the crowd during the Capitol Riot, alleging that the former President implanted these agents to instigate a riot. The only problem, obviously, is that Trump himself was president on that day, and Biden had absolutely no control over the FBI at the time. To complicate things further for Trump, his own FBI Director, Kash Patel, debunked this conspiracy a month ago. The Trump administration has effectively killed special education (ESE) funding for the United States by firing every member of the office of special education at the Department of Education. Education Secretary and former wrestling magnate Linda McMahon said that she wants the entire thing shut down so that the states can run their ESE programs on their own - without any federal assistance. This is a disaster waiting to happen, and the backlash from teachers and their unions has already begun. Trump's Department of Labor quietly made a rather shocking announcement recently about how Trump's immigration policies, raids, and mass deportations are ruining your life. The Department pointed out that there is now a massive labor shortage in the agriculture sector, and there aren't enough Americans willing to take those jobs. Add all this up and you end up with a massive spike in food prices in the United States due to the increased cost of getting food from farm to table - along with the scarcity created by the loss of crop yields. Those are the warnings coming from Trump's own government.Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is facing major public and corporate backlash after her latest stunt. The Department put out a meme video set to the theme of Pokemon and they also used the catchphrase of the popular game by captioning the video with "Gotta catch 'em all!" The company came out and said they had nothing to do with the video and that the department did NOT have permission to use their copyrighted materials. Members of the public are calling on the company to sue Noem and her department over the stunt, but that may be the least problematic thing about the video. Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Following the immigration raid of a South Korean Hyundai plant in Georgia last month, South Korea is now warning the world that America is not a safe place to send your workers. This is a major blow to manufacturing in the United States and to global investments in the country - which Trump claims will total in the trillions under his guidance. But companies are now running scared after watching in horror as hundreds of legal workers were treated like criminals and shipped out of the country.Donald Trump's immigration policies have been a complete and total disaster. Economically, morally, and politically speaking, his immigration raids and deportation quotas are not working at all, with the public turning against him. And now insiders in the administration have found a scapegoat for all of the failures we've seen: Corey Lewandowski. Lewandowski has been the alleged mastermind behind the deportation and detainment plans, and now that things are falling apart, the administration is letting him take the fall for all of it. History seems to be repeating itself with the Trump administration using the same lies and shoddy legal justification to strike alleged cartel boats in the ocean - the same way that the Bush administration justified their invasion of Iraq. The targets may be different, but the tactics remain the same. And now the administration's secret war memo has been leaked, revealing the legally dubious ways that they have justified blowing boats out of the water, in spite of the fact that it is clearly a violation of international law. Speculation about Donald Trump's health continues to get worse for him, and he's not helping the situation by repeatedly talking about wanting to get into heaven. Trump repeated his claim recently, and then also made a shocking admission: People, including himself, have "no reason to be good," other than to get into heaven. This is an absolutely disgusting statement to make that tells us everything we need to know about Trump's own moral compass.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Members of the committee that determine the winners of the Nobel Peace Prize are reportedly having a good laugh at Donald Trump's expense. Trump has whined for years about how much he wants to win the award, both publicly and privately, and he's still eaten up by the fact that President Obama received the award many years ago. But the Committee is not impressed by anything that Trump has done, and in fact they are rather repulsed by his outlandish claims of accomplishment and his actions at home in America. White House officials were forced to admit this week that Donald Trump made a MASSIVE mistake by sending out his Truth Social post to Pam Bondi last month where he demanded that she go after his political enemies. The White House confirmed that this post was actually supposed to be a private message to Bondi, but the damage is already done. That public post is going to be used in every single trial that comes about from Bondi's actions from now until she leaves office, and it's going to get a lot, if not all, of the prosecutions thrown out. Lauren Boebert has officially launched her campaign for reelection, and she did it in the most Boebert way possible: By sending out a campaign email asking "Are Aliens real?" While there are plenty of people that want answers to that question as well as what the government knows about the issue, it is hardly a kitchen table issue for the vast majority of American families. Boebert is trying to distract people from the fact that Republicans are complete failures at governing.According to the members of the House who are trying to force a vote on the release of the Epstein files, the Republican coalition that is standing in the way is falling apart, and they are about to revolt against Donald Trump. This information came from Democrat Eric Swalwell and Republican Thomas Massie, and it shows that Republicans are feeling heat for not allowing the files to go public. This whole mess could come to an end soon, as Mike Johnson cannot continue to hold things up forever. Attorney General Pam Bondi was hauled in front of a Senate committee hearing this week, and she bombed harder than anyone could have predicted. It was so bad that even Republican senators were bashing her. But the humiliation didn't end when the hearing ended because a photographer was able to capture her handwritten notes that she brought into the meeting, and they were the most pathetic talking points possible. She even had to write down her insults in advance so she wouldn't forget them! Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

A clearly mentally disturbed Donald Trump got on Truth Social on Wednesday morning and demanded that Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson be put in prison. Their crime, according to Trump, is that they aren't "protecting" his precious ICE agents that are disappearing people off the streets. ICE does not need "protecting," they are the ones that people need to be protected from. And with the way the agency has been attacking police officers, it seems like the ICE agents are the ones that need to be imprisoned.During an interview with Chris Cuomo on News Nation this week, Eric Trump went absolutely ballistic when Cuomo asked about the hypocrisy of Donald Trump weaponizing the federal government to go after his political enemies after spending years falsely accusing the Biden administration of doing that. Eric lost his mind when this was pointed out, and started yelling about all of the alleged offenses that Biden committed - with these examples being either exaggerated, fabricated, or happening long before Biden even ran for president. MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell announced this week that he is completely broke and can't afford to appeal a judge's recent ruling that found him liable for defamation against voting company Smartmatic. Lindell said that if he doesn't appeal it within 22 days, it'll go to a jury trial to determine the damages. The only problem, according to Lindell, is that he's completely broke, and now he's promising to go door-to-door to beg for money in order to get the cash to pay his lawyers. Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez came up with the perfect way to demoralize MAGA men, and it might be the most simple thing that a person can do: Laugh at them. She said this was particularly effective against Trump ghoul Stephen Miller, who was forced to watch her make fun of him on an episode of Laura Ingraham's Fox News show this week. Miller could barely muster a response, and Ingraham was slurring so much it was difficult to tell what she was saying, so it looks like AOC's method definitely worked. The official Twitter account of the Oregon Republican Party was busted using fake photographs to claim that Portland is under siege by the Left and that Trump's deployment of the National Guard was necessary. The only problem is that the pictures weren't from Portland, or from the US, or even from this year. Some of the pictures were nearly 20 years old and featured riot police in South America - obviously not modern-day Portland. The Oregon GOP deleted the post after being called out, but the damage has already been done. Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Donald Trump refused to rule out issuing a presidential pardon to convicted child trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell when asked by CNN's Kaitlin Collins about it this week. Trump lied during part of his response, claiming that he didn't know the Supreme Court rejected her appeal or that she even wanted a pardon. The man's refusal to deny a pardon likely means that he's already considered it and will likely do it before he leaves office. Believe it or not, Marjorie Taylor Greene actually came up with a good idea that she promoted on Facebook the other day, calling for all social media influencers to reveal who they receive funding from. She likened it to the fact that politicians have to say who paid for their advertisements and approved them, and social media influencers should have to do the same. Again, not a bad idea, but it still doesn't go far enough. If social media influencers have to reveal who funds them, then politicians like Greene should be required to do the same.Local police officers in Chicago are furious after a group of incompetent ICE agents ended up tear gassing them while confronting protesters (who also should not have been tear gassed.) This is not the first incident where police officers have been gassed by ICE, according to the sheriff, and the mistakes that these federal agents are making are putting everyone's lives at risk.Donald Trump had a meltdown this week after Fox News host Peter Doocy spoke with Democratic Senator Mark Kelly about the government shutdown, and Kelly was able to explain that the shutdown is about providing healthcare to Americans. Trump lost his mind at this truth bomb (which completely blew up his narrative about the shutdown) and he took to Truth Social to air all of his usual grievances against the conservative network somehow being "so bad for Republicans" by allowing a truth to slip out. Donald Trump put out a video from the Oval Office this week where he told young people that they "owe" him because he's the one who "saved" TikTok. This type of loyalty demand is absolutely unAmerican, but most importantly, it completely ignores the facts of what actually happened. Trump may have prevented TikTok from going offline, but he's already pledged to turn it into a right wing propaganda outlet owned by two of the biggest purveyors of misinformation on the planet - who happen to be rabid conservatives.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Donald Trump spent this past weekend proving to the world that he has lost his entire grip on reality. He first claimed that the city of Portland, Oregon is literally being burned to the ground as "insurrectionists" have taken over - which isn't happening anywhere in the city. He then claimed during a rally that he is in better shape than President Obama was, and that's even going back to Trump's first term in office when he was even more obese than he is right now. The man is totally off his rocker, and that's not good for the country. Top Trump advisor Stephen Miller went off the rails this past weekend after a judge temporarily blocked Donald Trump from activating the Oregon national guard. Miller claimed that the judges who are ruling against Trump are launching a "legal insurrection," a message clearly designed to put judges in the crosshairs of MAGA activists. And it may have worked, as just hours later a judge that had ruled against the administration in a privacy case had her house burned to the ground. Kristi Noem went crying to Fox News over the weekend to complain about the fact that the federal ICE raids taking place in Chicago are not going well because people in the city are being too mean to her gestapo. Noem literally whined that agents aren't allowed to use restrooms at private businesses and that they are feeling unwelcome when they try to order lunches. Noem did this to the agency, so the blame lies squarely with her.Pete Hegseth admitted during a brief chat with reporters that Donald Trump recently called him into the Oval Office to yell at him for "not getting the job done." While Hegseth didn't specify what that "job" is, it is clear that he's telling us that Trump screamed at him for being a complete failure. This explains why Hegseth has been so visible recently, most notably with his lackluster pep rally for military generals who left questioning the sanity of the Secretary of Defense and the President. Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein are heading back to the Capitol on Wednesday to hold a press to demand that Congress (Republicans) release the Epstein files that they have been shielding from the public for far too long. Republicans in Congress, led by Speaker Mike Johnson, have intentionally delayed the swearing in of a recently-elected Democrat in order to avoid a vote on releasing the files, and even Trump supporters are starting to question the motives of these Republican leaders. Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

A group of powerful world leaders (that did NOT include Donald Trump) met last week where they openly mocked Trump's stupidity and frequent gaffes. The Prime Minister of Albania joked with French leader Emmanuel Macron for not congratulating him on the peace deal that Trump worked out between his country and Azerbaijan. The joke, of course, is that there was no conflict between the two nations, yet Trump has repeatedly insisted that he worked out a peace deal between the two. The world leaders had a great laugh at Trump's expense.Veterans groups were outraged late last week when a 70-year-old Air Force veteran was knocked to the ground by ICE agents then surrounded and arrested on the spot. Video of the incident appears to show that the man's only crime was yelling at ICE to "go away." This is what life is like with Donald Trump's gestapo roaming the streets of America, waiting for the slightest provocation to lock up American citizens. These are not patriots - they are masked thugs terrorizing American citizens. Anyone celebrating the fact that TikTok has not been shut down in the US might want to take a minute to realize what's about to happen. The platform is going to be sold to the king of right wing propaganda, Rupert Murdoch, along with co-ownership by one of Donald Trump's billionaire buddies that also just purchased another major media outlet. And if there is still any doubt in your mind, there's the fact that while signing the executive order, Trump admitted he was going to turn the outlet into a propaganda machine for him and his administration. American farmers overwhelmingly supported Donald Trump in 2024, and they've also been the hardest hit by his policies - on top of being the most vocal about how bad his policies have been for them. Trump has heard their cries for help, and now he's going to try to buy their loyalty like he did in 2018, 2019, and 2020 by offering up $10 billion in bailout funds to pay off these angry voters. This is our tax money going to a group of people that were harmed by their own actions, and something about that doesn't sit right. Karoline Leavitt certainly isn't living up to those Christian ideals that she pretends to hold dear. During a Fox News appearance last week, Leavitt said that the administration is "absolutely" targeting funding for Democratic states during the government shutdown, and if Democrats don't want their voters to suffer, then they should do whatever Trump wants them to do. This is extortion at its finest, and proof that we do not need to feel any empathy for the Trump voters that are also suffering under his policies.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

According to an investigation by The Verge, Google has allegedly been censoring searches involving "Donald Trump" and "dementia." The search engine no longer provides an AI summary, as it does for other searches, and instead says that this feature is not available. However, the AI summary shows up immediately when doing the same search for Joe Biden and possible dementia. The owners of Google were present at Trump's inauguration, so this isn't as surprising as you'd think - disgusting, yes, but not surprising.Multiple sources confirmed to The Washington Post that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are planning to force THOUSANDS of Pentagon employees to take polygraph tests so that they can try to find out who keeps leaking information. The irony, of course, is that all of their schemes to find leakers have been leaked to the press before they can even happen. Polygraph tests are unreliable to the point where they aren't even admissible in court, and the testing so far hasn't stopped any of the leaks or found any leakers. The Trump administration has ordered furloughed federal employees to set up "out of office" reply emails on their accounts during the government shutdown, and employees have been ORDERED to blame Democrats for the shutdown in their email messages. Staffers at multiple government agencies were given word-for-word scripts that they are to use, blaming Democrats in the Senate for the shutdown, even as Republicans control every single branch of the government. But polls already show the public is blaming Republicans for the shutdown.Two weeks ago, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. had the highest approval rating of any official in the Trump administration, sitting at a pathetic NEGATIVE four points. That was obviously still really bad, but still better than other officials in the administration. After his recent antics, however, he now has the LOWEST approval rating of any cabinet official. He managed to destroy his entire public image (the little bit that he had) in less than two weeks, and that is nothing short of amazing. Donald Trump had another major, unhinged meltdown on Truth Social on Thursday morning as he claimed that it was the Democrats who had gone "stone cold crazy." The man is completely off his rocker at this point, and all of his attacks on other people's sanity and intelligence is the most transparent projection we've ever seen.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

A photojournalist was attacked by an ICE agent as he attempted to get photographs inside of a courthouse where ICE apprehended people who were attending their court appearances. The ICE agent decided that he didn't want this gross abuse of justice photographed, so he slammed the reporter to the ground outside of the elevator. The reporter was seemingly knocked unconscious and didn't move for quite some time before he was eventually carried out on a stretcher by paramedics and taken to a hospital. Donald Trump is launching a new, official government website called TrumpRx for Americans to apply for discounts on prescription drugs. This move is part of a deal with drug company Pfizer to give Americans better prices on pharmaceuticals. The deal is actually not that bad, but the fact that you have to type in Trump's name just to get to a website that then redirects you to the actual website is beyond disgusting. Not to mention the fact that Americans won't be saving much, as drug prices have gone up significantly since Trump took office, and consumers will just be getting the "old" prices they were paying a year or two ago, if they are lucky. A federal judge appointed by Ronald Reagan has absolutely annihilated Donald Trump and several members of his cabinet in a scathing, 161-page ruling. The ruling from the judge blasts the administration for trying to suppress Freedom of Speech, for allowing ICE agents to terrorize citizens behind the protection of a face mask, and the blatant disregard for the entire justice system. The judge also decided to include several of the threats that MAGA freaks sent to him in the ruling, just to further show how Americans are threatening judges that don't play nice with Trump. Republican Senator Ted Cruz made what might be the biggest mistake/gaffe that a human being can make. During a Senate hearing this week, Cruz proudly proclaimed that Republicans and Democrats should come together and "stop attacking p*dophiles." After he made this statement, he continued on with his diatribe as if he hadn't just made the worst mistake of his life - and not a single person in the Senate corrected him! The Trump administration has continued to defy the orders of federal courts since their very first loss earlier this year. So far, nothing has happened to anyone in the administration for ignoring court orders, but those days could be coming to an end very soon. A federal judge blasted the administration for defying a court order regarding the dismantling of Voice of America, and the judge signaled that civil contempt charges might be on the way.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Questions about Donald Trump's mental health, and his sanity in general, have been growing louder over the last few days after a series of truly unhinged and racist posts on social media. The President has been reposting AI generated videos of himself and his enemies, seemingly unable to distinguish between reality and fiction, causing Americans to call upon the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment. A very confused and emotional Eric Trump appeared on Newsmax this week to launch a new grievance against the former Biden Administration by claiming that they tried to get his father and stepmother to divorce. As evidence of this alleged attack on Trump's marriage, Eric claimed that the FBI's search of Mar-a-Lago was only done to try to dissolve that marriage. Eric seems to forget that his father has cheated on every wife he's ever had, and even buried Eric's mother at a golf course to get a tax write off - not exactly a loving husband that has successful marriages. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth held his little pep rally for the military on Tuesday morning, and it was about as pathetic as you would imagine. But on top of being pathetic, it was also insanely racist and misogynistic, with Hegseth saying that diversity is NOT a strength, and then going into a transphobic tirade about gender identities and how men are just better, in his opinion. The event cost millions of dollars was an even bigger waste of time than we thought it would be.Donald Trump's Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins frantically texted Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent last week, saying that she's worried that Trump was outsmarted by China in his own trade war. We know that this happened because a photographer was able to snap a picture of the text message to Bessent as he was sitting at the United Nations last week. And Rollins has every reason to believe Trump was outsmarted, because he absolutely was. Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Donald Trump suffered another "Senior moment" over the weekend when he shared an AI generated video of HIMSELF announcing that he was giving all Americans access to something called a "Med Bed," which is a magical creation that can cure all illnesses and even regrow missing limbs in a matter of hours. The beds, obviously, do not exist, and Trump never signed any order related to them, but that didn't stop the President of the United States from sharing the fake video to his own Truth Social account. In an interview on Sunday, shortly before he decided to deploy federal troops to Portland, Donald Trump appeared to admit that he's not only being manipulated by right wing propaganda, but that he's still aware enough to KNOW that he's being manipulated. Trump recalled a conversation with Oregon governor Tina Kotek, where he asked her "Am I seeing things on television that aren't actually happening?", and the answer to that is YES. Trump seems to know that he's not living in reality at the moment.Following the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey last week, Vice President JD Vance has announced that there are "certainly" going to be more indictments coming against Donald Trump's political enemies in the months and years to come. This admission shows how brazen the administration is becoming with their abuses of power, and it also shows the complete incompetence of the administration. If Vance had a brain, he would have realized that promising indictments instead of investigations is a sure-fire way to get whatever charges may come dropped almost immediately.Donald Trump launched a wild new conspiracy over the weekend that was so insane even his own sycophants couldn't allow it to stand. Trump falsely claimed that the FBI had agents planted at the Capitol Riot BEFORE the riot even took place, and he claimed that the government knew about it the whole thing (and obviously planned it.) Trump's own FBI director, Kash Patel, was forced to come out publicly and say that this is completely untrue, putting him at odds with his boss who doesn't like to be told that he is lying. Marjorie Taylor Greene is one of a handful of Republican lawmakers working with Democrats to force the release of the Epstein Files, and the Trump administration has been desperately trying to get her to stop it. But Greene has now made it crystal clear that she is NOT going to bow to White House pressure because she knows "who she works for." The only problem is that Greene still doesn't understand that the White House is acting on Trump's orders, and she is pretending that Trump is a victim in all of this.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Donald Trump's Department of Justice sent a memo to prosecutors in various jurisdictions last week, giving them explicit instructions on what phony charges to use to prosecute left wing political groups and donors. Later that same week, Trump held an Oval Office press briefing where he discussed prosecuting people like George Soros, and Pam Bondi and Kash Patel were right beside him completely unable to explain how, why or who they were going after. Farron  discussed this illegal partisan witch hunt. Donald Trump has nominated a man by the name of Jeremy Carl to serve in a high-ranking position at the US State Department, which has led Carl to delete more than 5,000 old social media posts. The posts that are now gone had praised political violence from the Right - including the Capitol Rioters - while also calling for the trial and eventual sentencing to death of American Federation of Teachers leader Randi Weingarten. This man is likely going to be confirmed by Trump's Republican puppets in the Senate, and even though he deleted them, he can't hide from his disgusting past.Hundreds of government workers that were fired by DOGE have been given their jobs back due to the fact that DOGE doesn't understand how the government works and that employees are pretty necessary. At the same time that this is happening, the Trump administration is planning EVEN MORE government firings, using a potential government shutdown as an excuse to cut more people. This administration is so dysfunctional that they are currently engaged in two completely contradictory plans.The latest polling data shows that Donald Trump is now underwater with every single age group and demographic in the country. But to make things even worse for him, the young voters who helped him in the election now say that they regret their votes because he turned out to be a "reckless dictator." Trump's insanity and lawlessness could swing a whole generation back to the Left, assuming Democrats are able to capitalize on their disillusionment.There are now enough members in the House who want the Epstein files released to the public to make that a reality - thanks to Democratic victories in several special elections this month. Donald Trump is terrified of these files, and he's now begging the Republicans who signed onto the discharge petition to switch sides again and save him. He might be successful, too, as those Republicans are Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, and Nancy Mace - three very pro-Trump lawmakers. But there's also a Plan B in place, in the event the Republicans chicken out.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Donald Trump went completely off the rails over "Escalatorgate" after it was revealed that his own Secret Service triggered the escalator stoppage while his staff ran the teleprompter that he cried about during his speech. He's now demanding that there be ARRESTS of UN staffers for embarrassing him, even though it was his own staff that made that happen. This man is absolutely insane, and he's clearly getting worse.A pair of Republicans in the US House of Representatives have put forward legislation to have Charlie Kirk's face printed on US currency. The currency would be a limited-edition run of silver coins, but this idol worship with Republicans is getting absolutely out of hand. Other Republican lawmakers have requested that Speaker Johnson place a statue of Kirk in Congress. The insanity never ends with these freaks,.A series of special election victories this week gave Democrats the number of votes needed to finally get a discharge petition passed in the House of Representatives that would force a floor vote on releasing all of the Epstein files. This is a nightmare for both Republican Speaker Mike Johnson and Donald Trump, as the two men have been fighting for months to prevent the public from seeing what is hidden away in those files. Vice President JD Vance is currently going around and trying to fix all of the reputational problems that Donald Trump has created for himself in the past week. Vance is busy writing off, excusing, and outright lying about all of the things that have happened, including the government pressuring ABC to drop Jimmy Kimmel along with Trump's hate-filled comments at last weekend's Charlie Kirk memorial. Donald Trump threw a massive, juvenile temper tantrum after Jimmy Kimmel returned to the airwaves this week, and he also tossed in another threat against ABC for bringing him back. Not only did he come across as an unhinged, madman, wannabe dictator, but he also managed to blow up the Right's talking points where they falsely claimed that the administration was NOT trying to silence the media. Trump's rage gave up the game, as Farron explains. Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Leaders around the world are warning their citizens to completely ignore the fact-free medical advice that is coming out of Donald Trump and his cabinet. The British Health Ministry has specifically warned their citizens that the claims are completely false, and the World Health Organization has come out and said that the claims made by Trump and the cabinet on Monday are not based on any real science. The world is laughing at us, as usual.Hundreds of people who were detained at the infamous "Alligator Alcatraz" facility in Florida cannot be located in any federal database, including lists of deportations. These individuals have simply been "disappeared" by the federal government after they were ordered to close down the facility and relocate all of the detainees - which included legal residents. This is the most terrifying development in the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, as these people have simply dropped off the map, and the administration made that happen. America is once again on the brink of a government shutdown, the 8th time this has happened since Republicans took over the House of Representatives following the 2022 midterms. Donald Trump was supposed to be meeting with House and Senate Democrats on Thursday, but decided to chicken out at the last minute because that's what he does best. Trump doesn't want to have to sit with the "mean" Democrats and actually try a little diplomacy, so the "Great Dealmaker" has decided to run and hide. Donald Trump repeated his favorite false claim at the UN this week when he said that he has ended 7 wars since taking office in January. He's made this claim so many times that reporters aren't even bothering to fact check it, and that's a very real problem. These "7 wars" are ALL still happening, with major military operations and deaths in just the last week taking place between these countries. None of the fighting has stopped, but Trump is doing a victory lap over paper victories and photo ops. Karoline Leavitt was forced to twist herself into knots this week in order to defend the bribery allegations against border czar Tom Homan along with Donald Trump's hateful rhetoric - literally declaring that he HATES his opponents. Leavitt dismissed both of these events, saying that neither person did anything wrong, in spite of both of the incidents being caught on video. Leavitt wants you to think that all bad things are good if Republicans do them, and they can only be considered bad if Democrats do them.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is starting to crack under the pressure of her job, and even when sharing "good news" with the country she is visibly irate to the point where she's almost shaking as she yells. This could be her conscience trying to break free and make her stop lying to the public, and she's using all of her inner strength to suppress the voice that's telling her that what she's doing is morally wrong. Donald Trump's latest order regarding H-1B visas immediately caused panic, chaos, and confusion among foreign workers and the businesses that employ them. Trump is now charging companies $100,000 to obtain the visas, making it incredibly expensive to bring in the level of expertise needed to run their companies. When the rule was announced, foreign workers were instructed to not leave the country out of fear they'd never be able to return, and one Emirates flight even delayed their departure to allow people to get off the plane when the order was given. Lawyers at the Department of Justice are being warned that they need to get malpractice insurance because they will likely need it due to their work for Trump. This is a terrifying warning that serves as an admission that the DOJ is engaging in activity that is definitely not ok. These lawyers now have a choice - Work for a man that is going to force them to do legally dubious things, or resign with dignity and find work elsewhere. Just hours after Donald Trump and his clown car of quacks announced that they "feel" like use of acetaminophen is tied to an increased risk of autism, Trump's own FDA released guidance to medical professionals that completely undermines every lie Trump told during that press conference. The FDA is apparently still trying to prevent the perversion of science and data that is rampant in this administration, but the people who put out the guidance are likely going to have to find new jobs in the very near future. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is all about image and not substance. This is why the portrayals of her in the media, especially on shows like South Park, have rattled her so much. According to new reports, the mockery and embarrassment recently became too much for her to take, and she allegedly started profanely screaming at her staff over the barrage of negative stories about her in the press. And it isn't just about mockery - she's also angry about people learning that her department is completely dysfunctional. Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

At a recent Yale CEO summit, the top business leaders in the country expressed their deep concerns that Donald Trump is tanking their businesses with his stupid decisions, particularly regarding tariffs. But tariffs weren't the only topic of discussion - these same leaders also made it clear that Trump's pressure on the federal reserve to lower interest rates would be a disaster right now. The Charlie Kirk Hate Rally Memorial took place over the weekend, and nearly every speaker present decided to use that opportunity to sow more hate and division in America. But no one sank to the level where Steve Bannon went when he declared in a broadcast from the memorial that "teachers are terrorists." This man is trying to get teachers targeted by frenzied right wingers, and we've already seen teachers and school boards across the country receiving threats at levels never before seen ever since Republicans took aim at them. During a black tie dinner gala on Saturday evening, Donald Trump took to the stage to cry to the audience about how mean Joe Biden was as a person. Trump didn't bother to elaborate on the manner in which Biden was mean to him, but he did immediately launch into a mocking rant about Biden having cancer. He went as far as to tell the crowd that they shouldn't feel bad for him because he was a bad guy. Interesting thought - we don't have to feel sympathy for bad things happening to someone if that person was a piece of garbage. Tulsi Gabbard, Donald Trump's Director of National Intelligence, committed a major blunder recently when she decided to strip 37 intelligence officials of their clearance, including top aides to the director of the CIA. On top of this, aides to the administration are FURIOUS over the fact that she did this without Trump's approval or knowledge, and they are warning Trump that Gabbard is going rogue and could be a threat to the administration. Farron discusses this new drama and the latest headache for Trump and his clown car cabinet. Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!
