Thanks Aaron. Last night while it was happening I couldn’t find a single US news source covering it. It gave me the ick. We are becoming isolated from world events that don’t align with Trumps narrative.

Claire's avatar

The mainstream news last night covered the new girl scout cookie flavor. Thats about all they are good for.

Thanks, Aaron for what you do.

Please be sure to take care of yourself.

Yeah. My morning email fr. local NPR news, courtesy of Ohio State University (WOSU) featured this drop, but buried at the bottom:

<https://www.wosu.org/news/2025-09-09/les-wexner-contribution-to-jeffrey-epsteins-birthday-book-released>

Maybe it's my feed, but I have not seen this anywhere else today. Frankly, WOSU was courageous in putting it out, since Wexner's name is all over Ohio State.

Are the girls out cookies out?😆💙

No longer a democratic country. Run by fascist extremists. I thought he was bad the first go around, but he was controlled somewhat by a rational cabinet. Now...well the repubs reap what they sowed...all cabinet members are certified Nazis and he, who would be king, is not being controlled or corralled. All repubs are to blame for this disaster... the "mainstream", the media and especially congressmen and women.

I have experienced this censorship you’re describing firsthand. I keep advocating for one of us to find a way to own the means of production of our media.

NiaSky's avatar

They're been silenced and are fearful of his retaliation. That's what Hitler did. First, they lie and distort the truth, and then they stop the media from reporting the truth, you would think this would be a perfect time for for all news outlet, to tell the truth, to stop this madness. That's why everyone should stop watching mainstream media and let their ratings drop!

Karen Brownfield's avatar

I never watch it anymore.

Earthling's avatar

What “it” are you referring to- the heckling of the biggest asshole in humanity?

Diane Lee's avatar

Russian drones invading Polish airspace.

Soulkinetics's avatar

It's worrying. I'm based in Australia, and saw numerous media report on it. Seems US media is very deliberately pretending business as usual to not raise the regime's ire.

Karen Brownfield's avatar

You are exactly correct. It’s like watching an Arts and Crafts show.

Maria K.'s avatar

The only US sources I use for my daily report on Ukraine anymore are AP and Politico. Otherwise, I use BBC, Reuters, The Guardian, Kyiv Post, Kyiv Independent, and Vitaliy Portnikov's YouTube reports.

Karen Brownfield's avatar

I use all of those as well.

Julie's avatar

Me too! Not even BBC America! Nothing. Total blackout for hours. Thank God for Olga Lautman and Julie Roginsky.

Barb K's avatar

Miles Taylor was covering the dinner (on Substack) after encountering it while working on a different project. The police had sequestered reporters away from the restaurant.

Sylvia Arrowood's avatar

Try Canadian news channels. They have always been good at covering world issues, although I am not sure how you would tap into them.

Karen Brownfield's avatar

That’s what I was wondering.

Karen Ferguson's avatar

That’s not good news. We need to spread this travesty around the world + not stop until the 🍊 duckwad is kicked outta office‼️

V900's avatar

Probably because it’s not worth mentioning?

If the Polacks have a problem, they need to take it up with the Ukrainians who diverted the drones in the first place.

Agree. I hardly bother with mainstream news any more. Except Rachal and Jen.

TCUEZ's avatar

AND LAWRENCE ODONNELL💙🇺🇸💙

Claire's avatar

Yes, I love Lawrence.

Warrior4Justice's avatar

Unless I missed it, I didnt see Lawrence cover it either. He seems to be all about Epstein lately which is good of course...but...WTF MSM??!!

Dawn A's avatar

I don't watch mainstream media at all.

Cherae Stone's avatar

His was the only report I saw, as well. The ONLY!! Excellent work, Aaron. Keep it up!

Eric's avatar

I thought the same thing I saw a glimpse of somebody talking about it on sub stack here and nothing else. I thought it was misinformation.

Eric's avatar

Did we really not see this coming? This is what happens when you let Putin do whatever he wants and when you let Israel do whatever they want by attacking Qatar.

MargaretPacL's avatar

The Dictator meeting has been on my mind. I wouldn't put it past these dictators to test the waters, per se.

Eric's avatar

Exactly Russia, China, and India meeting altogether they’re all talking about how weak he is and they can do anything now

MargaretPacL's avatar

I agree. He is weak; the show he put on for Putin in Alaska was shameful. He continues to say that he'll give Putin an ultimatum in 2 weeks. This will never happen.

Karen Brownfield's avatar

He was like a love-sick school boy. It was so weak and pathetic. Putin has the goods on him.

Earthling's avatar

Yea, and how many ppl still think he’s the ‘peaceful President’

Steva Gay's avatar

And, when we have a maniacal US administration.

3PackMom's avatar

But T is friends is Russia and Israel. He can’t go against his friends, no matter how many will die and died. Cruelty rules these days. 😭

Kristen's avatar

And better yet, let’s punish India and Chine to punish Putin??? Come on!! Ridiculous!

Kaija Reiss's avatar

Seems Israel is the military post of USA in Middle East.

I wonder how many nukes do they own?

Eric's avatar

The US probably gave Them nukes

Nan B's avatar

“Attacking Qatar”? How about attacking a known HAMAS leaders protection site? Highly targeted, according to reports. Maybe Qatar should not fund &protect terrorists.

Jon-Michael's avatar

You know who saw this coming? KAMALA HARRIS.

Claire's avatar

Yup-she was right about everything. and once again the question-We know elections were rigged. Why didn't they fight it?

Diane Lee's avatar

I've asked that question since the stolen election. What happened to "when we fight, we win"???? Why did she concede so fast??? I really feel that she let us down by doing that. 😞 Not even one word from her, despite being alerted to the issues when the tallies were coming in. She did nothing about it.

Joanna DiBartolo's avatar

Just as Hillary was right about everything when she ran against him.

Rita Schumm's avatar

And nobody listened to her. You reap what you sow Nazis GOP, Supreme Court and Gestapo roaming our city streets. WW3 and we are not on the right side. Dear Father in Heaven help those of us in the middle. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen 🙏🙏🙏

Tina Hollandsworth's avatar

Putin is dangerous and it sickens me that Trump is friends with him. I’m also thrilled that he was booed at dinner last night. Nobody wants him around. He disgusts us.

Holli's avatar

They are saying here on Substack they think it was staged. Nobody can get that close to the president with Secret Service there, not only that apparently the entire block was cordoned off to protesters so how did they manage to slip inside. They said it was staged to make Trump look like a tough guy and to make them look ridiculous.

Goldendawn's avatar

Look up Pink Code. Org. Supposedly it was this group that lead that protest. A woman named Olivia (who was there as an activist )was interviewed by Don Lemon. You can find it in his YouTube.

Toni's avatar

If that's the case I think it backfired, like so much that they do!

Jodi Fertsch's avatar

Agreed. Everything he does is rigged somehow, there is no REALITY anymore

Kathleen Blair's avatar

I am thrilled that Trump couldn’t have a quiet dinner in a restaurant. I’m thrilled that he is boo’d at public sporting events. He has proven he has no use for the U.S. people. He needs to learn that citizens are NOT happy with his deranged decisions made over the past 9 months.

Bad Bunny's avatar

It was difficult to hear what these protestors were saying on this vid, but another vid has them chanting "FREE DC, FREE PALESTINE, TRUMP IS THE HITLER OF OUR TIMES"

Thank you for all you do, Aaron! You're right, mainstream media has completely folded, and even when they do bring the latest news, you are FAR ahead of them. 𝗜 𝗮𝗺 𝘀𝗼 𝗴𝗹𝗮𝗱 𝗜 𝗮𝗺 𝗮 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗷𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝗻𝗲-𝗼𝗳-𝗮-𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗺ⵑ 🗽⚖️䷼

This is what Trump wants because now he can invoke the war powers and have more control while we're busy paying attention to that side he's going to do something dark and devious

You better believe if this happens that he's going to get our military troops involved so he can have those powers

Gail Sumpter's avatar

Yes, we'll trust the White House to do a "forensic review" of the Trump birthday message to Epstein

Judy Steiner's avatar

Aaron said he is open to a forensic analysis. This will obviously come out in Trump's favor. What forensic analysis would risk death threats and endanger family?

That said, of course, Trump signed it. Back then, he would have been proud to sign it as he tried to outdo everyone.

It is about others in the trafficking network they are trying to protect.

Aunt Day's avatar

Thank you for bringing this to our attention and for all the work you do I don’t believe this is gonna stop. They’ve also been violating Alaskan airspace and I think that Putin is crazy and wants to take Russia back to pre-Gorbachev days and for all you young and yes, you can Google Gorbachev

Maureen Maxwell's avatar

At this point I wish T. woudl have won in 2020 as then we would l be in recovery mode now and T. would not have had 4 years to gather the Alt right Christians at The Heritage Foundation or the Tech groups to make T. 2.0 so fecking awful to not only the USA but the World.

He is being handled and we are paying for Republicans that want this to be a white Christian nation. I have in my mind the show the Brady Bunch and instead of Marsh...all that comes out of there mount is Biden, Biden,Biden...to have seen the clip from the press secretary's forked tongue that T, inherited a rescission and an awful economy from Biden nearly out me over the edge yesterday.

We now have Sophomores in in HS that have known nothing but turmoil from politicians and with Covid the WH too....Now History is being rewritten for them and I imagine they knwo little about Civics and American History of our Democracy.

I am looking forward to see the crowds in the UK protest along the route form th airport to the castle next week adn hope King Charles talks about the environment, climate change and how the conflict in Ukraine effects the world and how Russia need to be stopped as they are threatening the EU (Ukraine and Poland) and the UK too,,,and then he can show him real gold but then I fear T. will want more jewels on top of all his gold redecorating of the WH...Just wish they woudl find a reason to uninvited T. and his wife :(

Conner's avatar

While Putin continues killing Ukrainian civilians, and now Russian drones reached Poland, King Charles has audacity to welcome the American dictator, the Pedophile Of The United States in the Buckingham Palace! Yeah, I guess it is very important to have a conversation about climate change at this point!

Holli's avatar

Wow! Are you serious? Is there a link to that news article for that?

Conner's avatar

Yes, it is true that Donald Trump is scheduled to visit King Charles III in the United Kingdom from September 17 to 19, 2025. The visit will take place at Windsor Castle, not Buckingham Palace, due to ongoing renovations at the latter. This will be an unprecedented second state visit for Trump, who was previously hosted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2019. The three-day visit will include a ceremonial welcome and a state banquet, with King Charles III and Queen Camilla hosting President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.[](https://www.gbnews.com/royal/royal-news-donald-trump-uk-state-visit-dates-king-charles-buckingham-palace-latest)[](https://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2025/07/14/Trump-state-visit-set-for-September-17/7201752482457/)[](https://royalcentral.co.uk/royal-news/king-charles-trump-212214/)

Holli's avatar

Omfg! I hope the Brits give him hell!

Conner's avatar

It really doesn’t matter. The fact that the British Prime Minister invited him is absolutely disgusting.

Sally H's avatar

Polish and Ukrainian sources showed shahed drones (“up to 20”) had entered Poland’s airspace (no accident there - at least 50km inside Polish borders). Poland scrambled their fighter jets and shot down at least 2 of them (no confirmation as of late last night). It was believed that the drones had been launched by Russia from Belarus. Russia is testing NATO’s response. Appeasement will only cause Russia to escalate attacks.

Marc Panaye's avatar

Putin has gone full crazy.

I live in Belgium which means I live between a mad man in the east and a mad man in the west.

The mad man in the east is doing his best to start a European war and the mad man in the west will do absolutely nothing about that.

And then there is that other mad man, a bit south east from me. The one who is responsible for a genocide. The mad man from the west will also do absolutely nothing about that (building obnoxious resorts on the ruins of Gaza does not count).

And I've not even started talking about the global climate crisis.

Oh yes, we had your ICE barbie visiting the harbor of Antwerp today. Our rightwing politicians were very exited that they could get a picture with that puppy killer.

Conner's avatar

Think of it, the planet is really not that big, so we are not so far from each other. Suffering from few evil maniacs. Still hard to comprehend how so few can ruin lives of so many.

Marc Panaye's avatar

Olga, exactly the point I wanted to make.

To use a famous quote from Churchill.....

"Never was so much owed by so many to so few"

And here the "owed" is nothing positive.

Alice Philbrick Potenza's avatar

We couldn't have a worse potus in office at this time, dealing with Russian aggression. Trump is unfit!!##slavaukraini Safety for Ukraine, Poland and all European NATO nations.

Ana warner's avatar

Anyone think this is Putin helping his buddy be creating a false flag event to distract from Epstein and his other failures?

Warethis's avatar

if Poland ever gets the go ahead to join, Russia has had it. Poland has been building their military for years.

Claire's avatar

Why isn't Poland part of NATO?

Warethis's avatar

They are! but they've been building up a modern military for years, probably due to their history and location so close to Russia
