A ProPublica investigation has found that most of these bills are part of a coordinated effort, orchestrated by a constellation of groups that share staff or have funding ties to the prominent conservative activist Leonard Leo.
Gabbard was loyal, gave congressional testimony in a professional manner and never disputed the president. Firing Gabbard would needlessly create a damaging news cycle for Trump.
Shapiro stated, 'I don't think it's a major issue for the Republican base. I think the president is exactly right to call this out for what it is, which is people who have fringe audiences.'
In military terms, this means that even those who have surrendered will be killed, explains Jacqueline Hellman, an expert in international law at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. The statement "alludes to a practice that is expressly prohibited," she told DW, adding that, as mere rhetoric, this is not punishable. But, she explained, such a statement could be classified as a war crime if it is formulated as an order and results in corresponding actions by the armed forces.
Tucker was the hot girl that didn't want to f*ck him, an ex-White House official said. Carlson playing hard-to-get apparently intrigued Trump, the official added, and made him more alluring. Trump wasn't the only one watching Tucker Carlson Tonight religiously at the time. The show set a cable news record when it averaged 5.36 million viewers in October 2020, and it routinely averaged more than 4 million viewers per month.
He then looked at Beshear and proposed his bet. I will bet you the Andy Beshear for President' announcement comes in January 2027, Doocy said. That drew a hearty chuckle from the governor, who declared it's a dollar! It then looked like he was leaning in to shake Doocy's hand, but the anchor ended up giving him the dollar up front.
One of the earliest exchanges with the guy described as his handler, Rashid Al Malik, in the indictment against Tom Barrack involved his success at editing a Trump speech otherwise calling for energy independence to include a commitment to "work together with our supportive allies in the Gulf." Karen DeYoung described the resulting effect as a "jarring" conflict with the rest of the speech.
Last weekend, I asked two British foreign-policy officials what had been the most troubling moment, so far, of President Donald Trump's world-destabilizing start to 2026. Both said (despite the British government's refusal to acknowledge this out loud) that it was the United States' seizure of the Venezuelan President, Nicolás Maduro, from Caracas, in the early hours of January 3rd. Trump "surprised us on the downside," one said. "Just not having had an inkling that Venezuela was coming," the other observed.
In a post on X, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro wrote that she started the probe because she got no response from her inquiries at the Fed. She may be backing away a littlethat's my sense. House Financial Services Chair French Hill says the investigation creates an unnecessary distraction. Maybe he wants to back away as well. He says the investigation could undermine Trump's future ability to make sound decisions. I think they're backing away. What do you say?
I do that all the time, I shake up teams, Trump said while shaking his head. He then lifted his right arm and gestured to the assembled farmers and local businesspeople who were flanking him. Trump said they would do the same thing in his position, adding you shake up your team if they can't do the crops fast enough.
