NewsNation host Chris Cuomo said in a lengthy monologue on his show Monday that he called former President Donald Trump after the latest assassination attempt because he's "ashamed" of the media's "unacceptable" lack of concern about the "threats" on Trump's life.

Cuomo who's certainly no fan of Trump told his audience he's bothered by "the lack of reaction to the second attempt on Trump in the last couple of months. 'Oh, but the [suspect] didn't even shoot.' What if it was your father? Or what if it was Kamala Harris? Or President Biden, God forbid? You think that it would be almost a shoulder shrug and more talk about the Secret Service and allocation of funds than just how crazy it is that this is what's happening in our country? That reaction of, 'Well, c'mon, don't make too much of it.' He had an AK-47 pointed at him! The reaction is unacceptable. And it's the second time media and political players have gotten away with playing down what should be a cause for panic."

David Muir's ABC news show had a big drop in ratings. People aint forgetting what he and Kameltoe's sorority sister Linsey Davis did.

Democrats and the media aren't telling the whole story as usual. Just like Project 2025 they repeat lies long after they have been debunked.

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) refused on Tuesday to allow CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins to block him from telling the truth about an IVF-related bill.

Earlier in the day, the Senate failed to pass a bill that would provide federal protections for IVF. It was the second time the bill failed after nearly every Republican senator voted against it. Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) were the only Republicans who voted for it.

Collins herself parroted that narrative. Before introducing Cotton onto her show, she said:

Senate Republicans today blocked a bill that would guarantee access to the very thing that a lot of them say they support. It's also the very thing that we have heard Donald Trump say that he supports. Democrats tried and failed, again, to pass that measure, which would guarantee access to IVF nationwide. And tonight, they are using this vote to hammer Republicans who said, "No."
When it was finally Cotton's turn to speak, he told Collins that he needed to "correct almost everything you said in the lede in there."

"First off, there's no risk to IVF in this country. All 49 Republican senators, along with President Trump, support IVF. No state restricts or bans IVF," Cotton explained. "Second, this bill was about a lot more than just IVF."

"You said that it had to guarantee access. Access is guaranteed in all 50 states right now," he explained. "You also said that it was about IVF. It's about a lot more than IVF. This bill would mandate coverage for experimental controversial procedures, like cloning or gene editing or providing fertility treatments to men who think they're women, whatever that means."

As the interview went on, Collins repeatedly defended the bill, claiming "it would have guaranteed access to IVF." But Cotton was forced time and again to remind her that IVF access is prima facie guaranteed already because not a single state restricts it.
