Reporter: Renee Good was shot in the head and killed by an ICE Agent. Leavitt: Why was she killed? Reporter: Because an ICE agent acted recklessly and killed her unjustifiably Leavitt: You’re a left-wing hack. You’re not a reporter.

The proprietor of The Other Place has been cozying up to white supremacism. I want to make sure we’re clear on that as he tries to get back in Trump’s favor and his companies become even more closely meshed with the Pentagon.

WATCH— @niallstanage.bsky.social : “It’s surely better for 🇺🇸 democracy that people protest a government agent shooting someone in the head than to be docile or acquiescent to those kinds of actions.”

The six seconds from JD Vance that give the game away about the Trump administration’s attitude to the killing of Renee Good. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8fFYLgo/

The “nobody debates that” here is not getting the attention it should. The nation is literally debating that. And the evidence of the wheels contradicts Vance. His phrasing is demanding the media simply echo his view and silence any other.

STANAGE: “You couldn’t ask for a more textbook example of what colonialism or imperialism are.”

Vital point by Jack Smith — Rep. Pramila Jayapal: What happens if people inferring with elections aren’t held accountable? Smith: “It becomes the new norm…” Jayapal: “So the toll on our democracy, if you had to describe that, what would that be?” Smith: “Catastrophic.”

Fox News’ coverage of the latest Epstein disclosures: “False claims exposed.”

I seem to have made Elon’s fans mad again 🤷🏻‍♂️

“It’s imperative that CNN be sold,” says the president, whose Department of Justice could block a bid from Netflix that would *not* involve CNN being sold. The rival offer is from Paramount, led by Trump-friendly David Ellison, and *would* involve CNN being sold.

Trump again claims he “inherited” the “worst inflation in the history of our country.” The inflation rate for January, when he returned to power, was 3 percent — obviously not remotely close to the worst ever. Peak Biden-era inflation was also lower than the early 1980s peak.

“Nobody has ever heard of it before,” Trump says about an “800 percent” reduction in drug prices. Indeed no one has heard of that, since it’s mathematically impossible.

The conservative site The Blaze recklessly named a woman who it said — on the spurious basis of anonymous “gait analysis” — was a “forensic match” for the Jan. 6 pipe bomber. Turns out she has a solid alibi and has been ruled out by the FBI, per CBS News. Grossly irresponsible.

“Federal authorities say that the former president and his co-conspirators almost immediately began mapping out an illegal path to retain the presidency.”

“Orders are presumed to be lawful.”

Good NYT opinion piece by Frank Bruni on the moral contortions required from Trump supporters on his behalf: ** The Outrageous False Equivalences That Prop Up President Trump www.nytimes.com/2025/11/24/o...

My day-after assessment of the Trump-Mamdani meeting: Pretty, pretty, pretty funny. Speaking to Alexis Conran earlier on Britain’s Times Radio.

My take on today’s festivities, now up at The Hill. thehill.com/homenews/cam...

Plenty of media activity outside the West Wing as we await @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social’s arrival.

Elizabeth Warren on Colbert's show: "We don't think one corporation or one man named David Ellison should be able to buy up all the shows and buy up all the sports and buy up all the news and decide who watches what and I'm gonna stay in that fight."

University College Dublin’s student news organization, The University Observer, sought me out for an interview about media, my career and advice for aspiring journalists. My words of highly dubious wisdom are here: universityobserver.ie/how-niall-st...

Not sure how we got to the point of weak, bitter little men like this believing they’re providing some kind of template of masculinity. Embarrassing.

The BBC messed up but Trump’s defamation threat is one more example of him trying to rewrite the history of Jan. 6. youtu.be/qGoVbzH3eQI?...

Come for the debates on the pressing political issues of the day, stay for the debates about whether I bear some passing resemblance to…Billy Bob Thornton??

This is complete fiction — apparently originating with a satirical website — but shared as fact by the President of the United States. Obama does not receive any “royalties” from the Affordable Care Act.

It probably says something ominous about the state of U.S. politics when I’m getting a write-up in my hometown newspaper. But here we are. Very fair and extensive interview by Gillian Halliday in today’s Belfast Telegraph. Link to full story below.

Given Trump’s obsession with image and the appearance of dominance, he won’t like how this went. The body language here is very much Trump-as-supplicant.

If I was in Mamdani’s shoes, I’d be nervous about the amount of social media comment from supporters assuming the election’s as good as won. He’s clearly the favorite and, yes, some of the attacks are ridiculous, rancid or both. But there’s still a week to go.

Zohran Mamdani leads the NYC polls, so Cuomo allies (like Bill Ackman) are pushing Curtis Sliwa to drop out. I don't see why Sliwa — the nominee of a major party, unlike Cuomo — should do that.

Trump and a third term? I don't *think* something so obviously unconstitutional could happen. But I also don't assume he or Bannon are joking.

Huge crowd at the D.C. #NoKings protest, under scrutiny from the rooftops.

Hopefully we can all survive this outbreak of dangerous radicalism. DC #NoKings protest.

No Kings, MAGA getting mad, and the criminalization of dissent. Part of my monologue today on Rising.

Connecting the dots here is not hard.

@kaitlancollins.bsky.social: “ls she [Marjorie Taylor Greene] someone that you could see yourself working with?” @aoc.bsky.social : “Uhh…on what?” [Laughter] “Listen, I think people can talk a good game. But until they actually support policy that helps people, I’m not particularly interested.”

I got flattered back from The Other Place. Hi (again).

Trump, Harvard, research funding and college blacklists… Another robust but very enjoyable debate with Leland Vittert on @ NewsNation’s “On Balance.” (Full clip below.)

If Harvard’s not going to fight Trump, who is?

Tried my best to make an important point as sensitively as I could — youtu.be/bdlj8MFstXM?...

“We’re going to have law and order.”

I’m on Amtrak coming back to DC from NYC. Train conductor announces, twice, “This is Joe Biden’s Wilmington, Delaware” as we pull in.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is the latest in a line of right-wing figures who want Derek Chauvin to be pardoned. Chauvin murdered George Floyd five years ago this month. My thoughts, in this brief clip from today’s “Rising.”

Afrikaners, aka White South Africans, outrageously accorded a warm welcome as “refugees” by Trump …who has suspended refugee resettlement for everyone else.

Corruption on its face. Trump and the $400 million “gift” of a luxury jet from Qatar.

Falls Road, Belfast.

The craven tone of this cabinet meeting would embarrass a Putin or Orban.

Terry Moran handles this very well indeed.

Trump At 100 Days — a quick recap.

My favorite photo from this weekend’s festivities around the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. This one from the ABC News pre-dinner reception. #whca #whcd

Good for Pelley and the team to say this 👏🏼
