Brian is an actor, musician, writer, babysitter, and former Olympian. One of these things is a lie. Based in NYC, Brian honed his skills in the suburbs of Minneapolis, where he could often be seen doing jazz squares down the halls of his middle school. After obtaining a degree in musical theatre, he graced the stages of Minneapolis and St. Paul before making the move to NYC. In his spare time, Brian can be found playing board games, hitting around a volleyball, and forcing friends to improvise with him.

On Monday morning, President Trump chatted briefly with reporters before departing for Utah. And when asked about Michael Flynn, Trump expressed sorrow for his former national security adviser.

"I feel very badly for Gen. Flynn," he told reporters. "He's led a very strong life and I feel very badly."

But then Trump went on to compare Flynn's treatment to that of Hillary Clinton, saying, "I will say this: Hillary Clinton lied many times to the FBI, nothing happened to her. Flynn lied and it destroyed his life. I think it's a shame."

He went into more detail about Clinton's alleged "lies," noting: "Hillary Clinton, on the fourth of July weekend, went to the FBI, not under oath. It was the most incredible thing anyone's ever seen. She lied many times. Nothing happened to her. Flynn lied, and it’s like, it ruined his life. It’s very unfair."

He then thanked the reporters and left.

Video of the remarks quickly found its way to Twitter:

On Friday, Flynn pled guilty to lying to the FBI during the investigation into Russia's meddling in the 2016 presidential election and possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian officials.

While Trump has repeatedly stated that Flynn acted alone in contacting Russia and that he didn't know Flynn had lied to the FBI when he fired him in February, things have taken a shift in recent days. Trump and his lawyer, John Dowd, are now claiming that they did know Flynn had lied, strengthening a case against Trump for obstruction of justice.

As for Clinton, she was cleared of any criminal wrongdoing, with Comey saying back in July: "Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information."

The same can't currently be said for Flynn and the Trump administration.

Community Rallies After GOP Cuts Funding For Pizza Parties They Think Are Turning Kids Trans

After the Ellensburg City Council in Washington voted to cut funding for weekly pizza parties for a school LGBTQ+ program over fears it was encouraging kids to become gay and trans—calling it “a target on minors"—the community quickly stepped up to donate more than enough funds.

Launched in 2023, the program was highlighted in the Ellensburg Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Commission’s year-end report and proposed 2025 budget, which advocated for its continuation. The Pizza Klatch attracted an average of 27 students weekly throughout 2024, offering a safe and supportive classroom environment for LGBTQ+ students and their allies, according to supporters.

Tarlov—perhaps the most prominent Democrat on the network—once again went against the grain, discrediting claims many of her co-hosts have made about the effectiveness of Biden's economic policies.
