We do not track the numbers or the voter registration.
Heads of publicly funded outlets, NPR and PBS, called to Capitol Hill to answer for their left-wing political bias.

Chapter 2: Why are NPR and PBS being scrutinized for bias?
I don't believe that, sir.
You tweeted that in reference to a book you were reading at the time, apparently, The Case for Reparations.
I don't think I've ever read that book, sir.
You tweeted about it. You said you took a day off to fully read The Case for Reparations. You put that on Twitter in January of 2020.
Apologies, I don't recall that I did.
Do you think that white people should pay reparations?
I have never said that, sir.
Yes, you did. You said it in January of 2020. You tweeted, yes, the North, yes, all of us, yes, America, yes, our original collective sin and unpaid debt, yes, reparations, yes, on this day. Why did you call President Trump a fascist and a deranged racist sociopath in 2020?
Congressman, I appreciate the opportunity to address this. I regret those tweets. I would not tweet them again today.

Chapter 4: How did Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett spark controversy?
The Hunter Biden laptop story, which was later verified as completely true, suppressed by the media in the weeks leading up to the 2020 election. NPR did not acknowledge the laptop's authenticity until 17 months later. Democrats on the committee mocking and condemning the hearing.
Is Elmo now or has he ever been a member of the Communist Party of the United States? Yes or no?
No.
Madam Chair, if shame was still a thing, this hearing would be shameful. My Republican colleagues don't want to talk about the corporate waste, fraud, and abuse because those corporations fund the Republicans' campaigns. So instead, they want to shut down educational programming for kids.
Side note, Sesame Street was sold to HBO back in 2015. Chairman of the committee Marjorie Taylor Greene concluding the hearing saying she will refer NPR and PBS to the Doge team for funding cuts. President Trump expressing support for the idea on Tuesday.
Would you be interested in defunding and taking away taxpayer dollars to NPR and PBS?
Well, I would love to do that. I think it's very unfair. It's been very biased with the whole group. The kind of money that's being wasted, and it's a very biased view. You know that better than anybody. And I'd be honored to see it end.
Reaction to The Atlantic magazine's big bombshell that its editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg was copied on alleged war plans by top intel and defense officials falling mostly along party lines. The Atlantic, releasing the details of what it initially referred to as, quote, war plans, now slightly softened to say, quote, attack plans.
The newly revealed messages show Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth texting the group on the Signal app, a timeline of the administration's planned attack on the Houthi rebels. Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt fielding multiple questions in a tense White House briefing.

Chapter 6: Who are the founders of We Heart Nutrition?
To your knowledge, do you know whether Pete Hegseth had been drinking before he leaked classified information?
You know, no, I'm going to answer that. I think that's an offensive line of questioning. The answer is no.
This was a question that's on the top of minds of every American. He stood in front of a podium in Europe holding a drink. So, of course, we want to know if his performance is compromised.
The congressman referencing a quickly debunked claim from a left-wing media troll after a February NATO press conference. A still image at the time showed Secretary Hegseth appearing to sip a brown liquid from a glass in a room full of people, which sparked speculation by one troll of alcohol consumption. However, video of the incident revealing the glass was actually filled with
clear water, its color simply distorted in one still shot by the appearance of Hegseth's hand behind it. Congressman Gomez trying to smear the defense secretary as crafting military actions while drunk with zero evidence. Coming up, Democrat Congresswoman from Texas Jasmine Crockett under fire for calling wheelchair-bound Texas Governor Greg Abbott Governor Hot Wheels.
