Friday, August 21, 2026

Today, Trump’s comfort blonde Natalie Harp worked for over a year at the White House without a security clearance; religious groups are asking a judge to hold ICE in contempt over an undercover operation; the USS Abraham Lincoln wasn’t resupplied because Hegseth hid the fact that our main supply base had been destroyed by Iranian missiles; FBI agents searched Eric Swalwell’s home as part of a federal investigation; Democrats flipped another Florida school board away from the right wing group Moms for Liberty this week; plus Allison and Dana deliver your Good News.
