ABC’s John Lyons has fired back at Donald Trump’s “absurd notion” that asking legitimate questions could damage relations b/w the US & Australia “If our job as journalists is to hold truth to power, then surely asking legitimate questions politely…should be acceptable”🔥💯#Abc

Mary Bruce is the kind of Journalist that all Journalists should aspire to be because she asked the hard questions that we all want to know and didn’t back down when he threatened her and ABC! The way that he got so upset proved that he’s guilty as hell & so is the Crown Prince!

#WATCH | Bengaluru | On Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge’s statement over RSS registration, BJP MLA Bharat Shetty Y says, “Any citizen has the right to ask questions, but he said as a Home Minister, he is asking the question. There is no jurisdiction for a person who is a Home Minister to write a letter directly… There should be an executive order asking for all these questions, or if there is an investigation, the investigation Officer should ask the questions… It looks like he is trying to please his masters… This is just a gimmick… There is a process for that if they have a real doubt about the functioning of RSS…”

On CNN NewsNight, Jemele Hill says she saw Biden at an NAACP dinner when he was President and thought, “this dude doesn’t look right” — and that questions about his health were “fair and legitimate.” Then she drops with RIDICULOUS smear of President Trump: “People had the right to wonder about Joe Biden's health after seeing that debate and those questions were fair and they were legitimate. I think the problem is that now those same questions aren't being asked even though we're seeing things that are just as concerning if not worse.” Clearly, Hill has TDS.

Over the past 25 years, I have taken up numerous causes as a journalist for the sake of the common citizens of India, particularly in Kashmir. Throughout my career, I have paid a heavy price for speaking truth to power, including during my 2019 testimony at the US Congress. Now, five years later, I am back, still asking tough questions about the swamp. Today, it was great to speak up and pose questions at the Oval Office in the White House before President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on the challenges to electoral democracy within both the US and India.

It is very clear that we are poorly served by a growing class of arrogant and out of touch politicians, and Bowen is their mascot. Our politicians forget themselves. They forget that we don’t answer to them - They answer to us. They don’t pay us - We pay them. Chris Bowen has broken just about every promise that he has made. Industry is furious, electricity users are furious, and now motorists are furious. They promised that power bills would come down. Instead, power bills have gone up, while at the same time industry continues its exodus. The government is propping up a select few corporations with tax dollars and even taking over some directly. That is not the sign of a healthy energy market, or sustainable industry. It is not the sign of success that Bowen needs to maintain a modicum of credibility. So, Liam Bartlett calls him out, asks him real questions that cut to the viability of Bowen’s solutions to our real energy problems. But instead of answering Bartlett’s questions, the Minister responsible for the broken promises chooses instead to attack the journalist. Liam Bartlett is finally asking the questions that need to be asked. He is not just smiling and curtseying to the press corps - he is doing his job. Bowen shows us the answers, not by the words he says, but what he doesn’t say. It begs further questions. For me they are; Who does Bowen think he is? Followed closely by, who does he think he answers to? The answers are as obvious as the lack of answers he provides about our energy future. If it wasn’t so important, it wouldn’t really matter. But on a large and isolated continent like Australia, energy security is our life blood. Without an abundance of cheap and reliable energy, we will starve. Bowen might think his primary role is curating the swooning reporters he likes, but we all know that it is not his job. He answers to us. If he finds the questions uncomfortable, too bad. If the press required him to explain the truth of the storm we are really in - a storm that has been brewing for decades and is now spiraling out of control in front of us - then so be it. We can’t fix what we can’t see. Bowen must level with us. If he can’t fix the problems, get out of the way for somebody who can. Bowen should sit down with Liam Bartlett, and respectfully answer his questions. The people of Australia deserve nothing less. I just want Australia back.

.James Talarico: What we're requesting is every internal memo, every email, every document, every text message concerning the Hoffman case. And if there's nothing to hide, then the Attorney General should feel comfortable releasing this information. But I think it's suspicious when we request this information and it's denied. Especially on a case where so many Texans have legitimate concerns, legitimate questions, and it's something that we're seeing nationally. So many people are deeply disturbed by the Epstein case, rightfully so. And then to see it repeated here in Texas in our own backyard. I mean, it should be alarming to all Texans regardless of our political party.

THE ANTHONY WEINER LAPTOP STORY NEVER WENT AWAY. Back in 2017, people were asking hard questions about what was allegedly found on that laptop, especially a folder reportedly called “Life Insurance.” Then came the FBI Anon warnings. Then came years of silence. Then came more questions than answers. Now Lauren Boebert is openly saying she wants to know what was inside that secret folder and where the whole Frazzledrip story came from. That alone tells you something. If the laptop was nothing, release the truth. If the folder was nothing, explain it. If the rumors are fake, prove it with transparency. Truth has a way of surviving everything.

FULL VIDEO: Rep. Lauren Boebert brings the fire to US Secret Service director Kim Cheatle: "You do need to resign. You need to be fired." She promises to hold her entirely accountable for this colossal failure and force her to surrender her personal phone and turn over her messaging app details with other members of Congress. She asks pointed questions about the denial of security requests made by the Trump administration, and Cheatle’s complete failure with regard to Trump’s safety. She asks questions that everyone has been asking. Cheatle has all the answers but refuses to provide them and passes the buck. “You have answers and you’re refusing to give them to us. This entire thing is a waste of time. You are responsible for the loss of a life… You do need to resign. You need to be fired.”

Tanzania Is Our Strait Of Hormuz - Dr Maponga to Tanzanian Journalists At the screening of 'What Happened on October 29?', Dr. Maponga had a direct message for Tanzanian journalists: Stand with the truth. African Journalism cannot afford to be lazy or driven by external narratives. If claims are being made about Tanzania, Tanzanian journalists must be the ones asking the hardest questions, verifying the facts, and telling the world what is really happening on the ground. Dr. Maponga challenged journalists to look beyond party politics and understand Tanzania’s strategic place in regional and global power struggles. Tanzania sits at the center of trade routes, ports, railways, minerals, and competing global interests. So when violence, instability, and misinformation spread, journalists must ask: who benefits? Who pays the price? And whose future is being destroyed?

I respect Geela, but this is unacceptable. Addu dialect is Maldivian language. Rather than responding in a mocking tone, the you could simply have asked Abdulla Sodiq(Sobe') to repeat the question. In UK Parliament, cabinet ministers ask Scottish MPs to repeat their questions, sometimes more than once, when they struggle with strong Scottish accents. No one considers this disrespectful, it is a normal courtesy. Majlis exists to ensure ministers respond to questions from citizens, who are represented by their MPs. Dismissing a question by claiming not to understand it is unacceptable. The appropriate response would have been to politely ask Sobe to repeat the question more slowly, or to request that it be asked in official Dhivehi if necessary. Neither was done. Language must never be used as an excuse in Majlis to dodge legitimate questions.

The Free Speech Union is taking an interest in the story of Jason Arday for a number of reasons. First, we want to know who paid for the threatening letter from the law firm Carter-Ruck — effectively a SLAPP — that was sent to Times Higher Education in an attempt to get journalist Jack Grove to stop asking Professor Arday questions about his academic record. Was it Jason Arday himself? The University of Cambridge? Or the Good Law Project? Second, we want to know who reported both the academic and former professor David Harris and Times Higher Education journalist Jack Grove to the police, alleging harassment after they began asking Arday questions about his academic and extracurricular record. In David Harris’s case, the Metropolitan Police referred the complaint to Devon and Cornwall Police, which rightly decided there was nothing to investigate. But in Jack Grove’s case, he was contacted by the police and informed that he had been the subject of a four-month investigation by the Met. While officers said they would be taking no further action, he was told he should refrain from questioning Jason Arday again because it was also affecting Arday’s mental health. The police should never be telling journalists whom they can and cannot question — particularly when there are legitimate questions that need answering. Powerful people should not be able to use the police to silence journalists and academics who are simply asking questions and doing their jobs. The Free Speech Union has written to Sir Mark Rowley, Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, to ask what on earth his officers were playing at. He has yet to reply. If Jason Arday was the person who reported these individuals to the police, that is one thing. But if it was the University of Cambridge, that would be even more serious — and is something FSU General Secretary Lord Young will be raising in Parliament in due course. Watch Lord Young below 👇

'Trump Has Shifted His War Goals': John Bolton Warns 'Wounded' Iran Regime Could 'Build Back' If In this explosive interview, John Bolton has raised uncomfortable questions about the direction of the Iran war, not on the battlefield, but at the level of strategy. According to Bolton, US President Donald Trump appears to have shifted his objectives mid-conflict, creating uncertainty over what the war is ultimately meant to achieve. At the outset, the goals appeared expansive, ranging from degrading Iran’s military capabilities to potentially enabling regime change. But over time, Trump’s messaging has evolved, at times suggesting victory is near, while also leaving open the possibility of continued escalation or negotiation. Bolton’s concern is not that Iran is winning but that it is surviving. Watch for more details. Watch Aditi Prasad

Cocchiarella: To be clear, you want to see Barron Trump come before Congress and answer questions about his relationship with Andrew Tate? Ansari: I absolutely want to see Barron Trump come before Congress and answer questions about this. There is reporting about this, and he should answer these questions. What is his relationship with Andrew Tate? What kind of communication have they had? What kinds of connections has Barron Trump potentially made for Andrew Tate and his brother? Has he had any conversations with other White House officials about this? These are all really important questions to be asking. There’s also more reporting about Barron Trump as it pertains to financial dealings and corruption. This is not the only issue that I think Barron Trump needs to come before Congress for, but the Oversight Committee is really the place for him to answer questions. And I think it’s important to remember that Barron Trump is an adult. He is somebody who is deeply involved in Trump’s orbit and the whole manosphere, and he has a lot of influence. So he needs to be held accountable if he has committed any wrongdoing.

Donald Trump abruptly kicked the press out of the Oval Office during a bizarre Saturday appearance with Joe Rogan—right as reporters began asking tough questions about Iran. This comes as Iran announced it is fully closing the Strait of Hormuz again, turning ships back and even firing on some vessels that refused orders to retreat. Iran is also rejecting Trump’s claims about negotiations, calling them “false,” and warning it’s prepared to resume war if its terms aren’t met.

This message is for everyone across this X community — subscribers, readers, creators, journalists, the people who amplify, and the people who are just beginning to pay attention. It needs to travel. It needs to be seen. And it needs to be understood. Over the last month there has been confusion, noise, and constant drama — and it all started when the Epstein files surfaced, Michael Cohen’s name appeared, and simple, fair questions began to be asked. Questions about accountability. Questions about justice for survivors. Questions that any person claiming to stand for truth should be willing to answer. Instead of answers, we got attacks. We got deflection. We got threats. Independent journalists. Subscribers. Members of this community. People asking in good faith. And here’s why this moment matters. For six years, Cohen has told the world he was finally choosing truth. He built an audience repeating that he had turned, that he wanted accountability, that he had nothing left to hide. But the second real pressure came — the second the questions became uncomfortable — he ran to friendlier territory, appearing on PBD Podcast, a space where the message was clearly aimed at an audience of one: Donald Trump. Think about that. When faced with tough but fair questions from people seeking justice, he didn’t lean in. He didn’t clarify. He didn’t help the survivors get closer to truth. He pivoted. So I did something important. I compiled a four-minute video so you can see Michael Cohen then and Michael Cohen now. His words. His tone. His direction. What the world isn’t being shown when the headlines move fast and the clips disappear. Because this isn’t really about Cohen. This is about whether we ever get the truth. Receipts win. Facts win. And every time someone tries to muddy the water, we come back stronger, together, focused on what matters: accountability. Watch the video. Share the video. Talk about the video. And remember why you’re here. Not for personalities. For truth. Because truth matters.
