Breaking: Marjorie Taylor Greene RESIGNS as ‘heartbroken’ congresswoman brands Trump ‘hateful’ in blistering statement | 21 Nov 2025 | Marjorie Taylor Greene has announced she will resign from Congress at the beginning of 2026 following her split from longtime ally Donald Trump. In a lengthy statement and 10-minute video, she branded the president “hateful” over his decision to retract his endorsement of her, a move which saw him dismiss Greene as a “ranting lunatic.” The Georgia lawmaker cited a growing disgust with the political establishment in Washington and her fight for the release of the so-called Epstein files which formed the brunt of her feud with Trump. She raged against the “political industrial complex” which she claimed uses Americans as “pawns in an endless game of division.” Greene said that it would be unfair for her “sweet little district” to “endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for” and even added that “Republicans will likely lose the midterms.” Greene went on to claim she has “always been despised in Washington, D.C., and just never fit in.”
Ex-spy Jonathan Pollard, U.S. envoy Mike Huckabee held secret meeting at U.S. Jerusalem embassy | 20 Nov 2025 | Convicted Israeli-American spy Jonathan Pollard said that his meeting with U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee at the American Embassy in Jerusalem was a “personal” conversation to express gratitude, not a political exchange, in a phone conversation with The Jerusalem Post on Thursday. “The meeting, simply put, was a personal affair. That’s it,” he said. “The reason I wanted to meet him was to express my deep and sincere appreciation for everything he had done to help me when I was in prison.” According to Pollard, the meeting was “misinterpreted” and used by certain figures, both within the U.S. Embassy and the Trump administration, to try to remove Huckabee. The Post reported earlier Thursday that Pollard and Huckabee met at the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem, in a conversation that was not on the ambassador’s public schedule. The meeting drew concern among some U.S. officials, according to that report.
CDC quietly changes vaccine and autism stance after years of controversy | 20 Nov 2025 | The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has updated its website with a new stance on the potential link between vaccines and autism. The new wording on the CDC’s site states, “The claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism. Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.” The agency noted that the statement “vaccines do not cause autism” has been “historically disseminated” by the CDC and other federal health agencies in an effort to prevent vaccine hesitancy. The Children’s Health Defense applauded the CDC’s updated web page. “Finally, the CDC is beginning to acknowledge the truth about this condition that affects millions, disavowing the bold, long-running lie that ‘vaccines do not cause autism,’” Mary Holland, president and CEO of Children’s Health Defense in New Jersey, told Fox News Digital.
Domestic terrorism: Repeat offender accused of setting woman on fire aboard train | 19 Nov 2025 | A man accused of setting a 26-year-old woman on fire aboard a Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) train was charged with domestic terrorism, according to officials. The man was identified as Lawrence Reed, 50, of Chicago, who authorities said has a “very long and extensive criminal history.” Andrew Boutros, who is the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, described it as a “brutal and vicious attack.” “The victim was riding northbound approaching the Clark and Lake subway stop in the Loop, minding her own business and reading her phone when the defendant doused her with gasoline and lit her on fire,” Boutros said on Wednesday during a news conference streamed by WBBM. Boutros said Reed was charged with a federal count of committing a terrorist attack or other violence against a mass transportation system.
COVID vaccine under new scrutiny after studies reveal possible health risks | 20 Nov 2025 | Two large studies have put a spotlight on potential health risks of the COVID vaccine… Recent research has linked the vaccine to a higher risk of kidney injury as well as certain respiratory infections. A Korean study published in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases looked at how infectious diseases changed during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the impact of vaccines. In another recent study published in the International Journal of Medical Sciences, COVID-19 vaccination was associated with a higher risk of acute kidney injury and dialysis within one year, although vaccinated people had lower rates of death from all causes [Yeah, right!]. Within 12 months, 15,809 vaccinated people developed acute kidney injury, compared to 11,081 unvaccinated people. A total of 1,513 people received dialysis within a year of vaccination, compared to 697 unvaccinated people.
Trump signs bill to release Epstein files – DOJ now has 30 days to turn docs over to Congress | 19 Nov 2025 | President Trump announced Wednesday that he has signed congressional legislation forcing the federal government to release documents related to notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. “I HAVE JUST SIGNED THE BILL TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!” Trump wrote in a lengthy Truth Social post. “As everyone knows, I asked Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, to pass this Bill in the House and Senate, respectively,” the president added. “Because of this request, the votes were almost unanimous in favor of passage.” The measure Trump signed into law requires the Department of Justice to turn over all “unclassified records, documents, communications and investigative materials” — and all classified information to the maximum extent possible — to Congress within 30 days.
Democratic Florida Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick accused of stealing $5M in FEMA funds | 19 Nov 2025 | Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.) was hit with a federal indictment Wednesday, accusing her of stealing 5 million in Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funds to support her 2021 congressional campaign. Cherfilus-McCormick, who has been under investigation by the House Ethics Committee since December 2023, was indicted by a federal grand jury in Miami and faces up to 53 years in prison if convicted. “Using disaster relief funds for self-enrichment is a particularly selfish, cynical crime,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement. “No one is above the law, least of all powerful people who rob taxpayers for personal gain. We will follow the facts in this case and deliver justice.”
