Thursday Morning 11/20/2025 Qnotables 4am Talking Points Live!

This stream breaks down 25 of the most consequential stories the corporate press refuses to connect.

We cover Trump signing the law to release the Epstein files, a unanimous House move to end surveillance payments to Senators, and new corruption cases hitting both parties: a Florida congresswoman charged with stealing FEMA funds, and a network of California Democrat insiders reportedly under federal fraud investigation. We look at claims that Lisa Monaco blocked part of the Durham report, plus fresh subpoenas, document dumps, and a possible $1 million sanction in Trump’s failed RICO suit.

On the security and border front, we walk through a massive ICE sweep in Houston, a Triangle immigration crackdown in North Carolina, and a federal judge pressing agencies over secret illegal-alien transfer flights. We also hit Chinese intel officers offering Western insiders cash for “low-level” info, a former Olympian fugitive with an FBI reward on his head, and an explosion at a major petrochemical complex in Venezuela.

We also dig into health and control issues: CDC’s updated autism guidance and Aaron Siri’s challenge to vaccine safety data, England’s plan for whole-genome sequencing of every newborn, a new map of SNAP fraud hot spots, and a Fox poll showing voters think the White House is hurting the economy. Plus: Arizona’s prison labor farm program and sale of Hickman’s to a Brazilian firm, Trump’s overhaul of homeless funding, NYC Mayor Mamdani’s “baby boxes” vs. pro-life centers, hearings on Trump-era immigration and law-and-order policies, and the war in Sudan taking an even darker turn.

If you want all these threads laid out in one place instead of scattered and spun, this is your briefing.
