07/24/26 We're Being Lied To
As the U.S.-Iran war expands, the American people still aren’t getting the full story. Pentagon records appear to undercount U.S. troop deaths, lawmakers are demanding answers from Pete Hegseth, and Congress remains divided over whether Trump can continue the war without its approval. Meanwhile, Iran rejects another cease-fire proposal, suspected Russian involvement raises new questions, and the Houthis open yet another front in a conflict with no clear end in sight.

07/23/26 Evolving The Grift
Today, we look at how the Trump family’s money-making operation is becoming more sophisticated. From the president buying stocks and then promoting the companies on Truth Social, to Wall Street firms paying for faster access to his posts, political influence is now being packaged and sold in real time. We also examine Donald Trump Jr.’s investment fund, its eye-popping returns, and the billions in federal funding flowing to companies it has backed—while House Republicans attach a watered-down st

07/22/26 Hat In Hand Hegseth
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth went before Congress hat in hand, asking lawmakers to keep funding a war he insists is already a success—while struggling to provide straight answers about its cost, strategy, legal authority, or endgame.

07/21/26 Who Controls The Purse Strings?
As the Iran war drains billions from the Pentagon, injures nearly 100 U.S. troops, and moves no closer to changing Tehran’s position, Congress is once again being pushed to the sidelines. We look at who really controls the purse strings when the Trump administration can expand a war, ignore lawmakers’ spending decisions, and let Russell Vought’s OMB impose budget cuts Congress already rejected.

07/20/26 The Escalation Trap
With more American troops killed, dozens of military injuries allegedly withheld from the public, and the United States launching another round of strikes against Iran, the conflict is slipping deeper into a dangerous cycle of retaliation. We examine Jordan’s emergence as a new flashpoint, Iran’s increasingly deadly missile capabilities, the renewed talk of negotiations, and the growing cost at home as gas prices return to $4 a gallon.

07/17/26 Election Lies, Russian Ties
Trump revives his election fraud conspiracy theories in a televised speech built around newly declassified documents, “burn bags,” and claims of Chinese interference. We separate what the records actually show from what Trump says they prove, examine Beijing’s response, and look at his threat to punish ABC and NBC for refusing to air the speech.
