Wednesday Evening 11/19/2025 Qnotables 4am Talking Points Live!

In this stream we walk through forty headlines the corporate press will not connect for you, but absolutely should be viewed together.

We cover Congress, the courts, and the security state: the Epstein Files Transparency Act moving forward, subpoenas for Epstein’s bank records, new visitor logs and donations tied to elites, James Comey being dragged into court, a Wisconsin judge charged over 2020 elector advice, and whistleblowers alleging coerced organ harvesting inside a New Jersey organ network. We also look at a proposed stock-trading ban for members of Congress and what it says about corruption in DC.

On the global front, we hit Trump’s Gaza plan and the UN Security Council vote, Sudan’s war and oil facilities under drone attack, Ukraine war funding fights, reports of a secret 28-point peace proposal, and the fallout from corruption scandals in Kyiv. We dig into the U.S.–Saudi Investment Forum, Trump’s comments there, and what Musk and Nvidia’s CEO are saying about the AI race.

We also track the growing control grid: COP30’s “information integrity” declaration on climate, Meta forcing Australian teenagers to download or lose their data, Kenyan courts suspending Gates Foundation immunity, hearings on Trump-era immigration and “law and order” in U.S. cities, PFAS “forever chemicals” oversight, vaccine-refuser veterans possibly regaining GI Bill benefits, and the intensifying fight over the “Islamification” narrative around Dearborn.

If you want straight, connected reporting instead of narrative management, this is your briefing.
