Al Sharpton was right there on the scene, noting how suspicious it was that the three white teens all made it home safely. The family retained none other than Benjamin Crump. As we reported last month, a grand jury issued 132 subpoenas, heard testimony from 43 witnesses, and concluded that there was no sign of foul play and that Wells' death had all the markers of an accidental drowning. That wasn't good enough for the family, who are demanding another “honest, transparent, and fair” investigation, or for Crump, who hasn't been paid yet and said, "We’ll never stop until we get to the truth." As we've reported, Rep. Frederica Wilson met with Nolan's parents, who were honored alongside "other parents of murdered young boys." House Minority Leader Extreme Hakeem Jeffries still finds it suspicious that Wells would leave his wallet, keys, and phone in the boat before getting in the water to swim. Child mind parasite Ms. Rachel has come out flat-out and said, “Nolan Wells didn't drown.”]]>Thu, 01 Oct 2026 22:00:45 -0400<![CDATA[Brett T.]]><![CDATA[Ayanna Pressley]]><![CDATA[Hakeem Jeffries]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/10/01/rep-ayanna-pressley-says-well-never-have-justice-for-nolan-wells-unveils-hashtag-campaign-n2432906<![CDATA[As we reported earlier, historically unpopular CNN anchor Jake Tapper came to the defense of CNN chief White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins, whom President Donald Trump had called "a very average person" and "the most unhappy young person I've ever seen" in an interview published on Thursday by TIME.

He must be, because that news comes from CNN anchor Jake Tapper, and we all know that CNN deals only in facts. Tapper, once again, was triggered by President Donald Trump taking a shot at CNN's chief White House correspondent, Kaitlan Collins. Tapper happened upon a post by The Bulwark's Tim Miller sampling a bit from TIME's interview with Trump that was published on Thursday. TIME had asked Trump about his "contentious relationship with the media" and asked why he was banning news outlets now. "Well, it's just bad story after bad story, and when I say bad story, I can handle bad stories. I've got a lot of bad stories," Trump answered. "Most of them are fake, and it's not only CNN, and it's not only MSDNC. It's a lot of other people." TIME then tried to turn the line of questioning to Iran, but Trump wasn't done yet:]]>Thu, 01 Oct 2026 19:00:07 -0400<![CDATA[Brett T.]]><![CDATA[CNN]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[Jake Tapper]]><![CDATA[Kaitlan Collins]]><![CDATA[Media Bias]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/10/01/cnns-jake-tapper-white-knights-for-kaitlan-collins-again-against-historically-unpopular-president-n2432899<![CDATA[As we reported earlier this week, Gov.

In a post that mixed personal pride with thanks to President Trump, the vice president framed the close of Operation Inherent Resolve — and the defeat of the ISIS caliphate — as a hard-won victory for both the United States and Iraq, one that matters deeply to the millions of service members who rotated through the country over more than two decades.]]>Thu, 01 Oct 2026 15:10:00 -0400<![CDATA[Sam J.]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[Iraq]]><![CDATA[JD Vance]]><![CDATA[Trump Administration]]><![CDATA[Veterans]]>https://twitchy.com/samj/2026/10/01/jd-vance-thanks-trump-as-a-marine-for-ending-the-war-in-iraq-and-haters-cant-deal-n2432888<![CDATA[Regular readers know that there has been a lot of drama surrounding the execution of Christa Pike for her part in the torture-murder of Colleen Slemmer in the last 24 hours or so.
