Chuck Todd stated, 'This is a disaster. He has screwed up this country and our foreign policy for decades, and we're going to be paying a price for this for a long time.' He highlighted that the repercussions would manifest in various ways, including at the gas pump and in trade relations.
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.
Grenell, long known for his hyper-aggressive confrontations with journalists and political rivals on Twitter and then X, served as US ambassador to Germany and then acting director of national intelligence during Trump's first term. He was appointed despite no prior arts experience. Grenell was a central player in Trump's push to dramatically overhaul the Kennedy Center following the president's return to office.
I predict that Representative Thomas Massie will go down as the WORST Republican Congressman in the long and fabled history of the United States Congress, even worse than Crazy Liz Chaney, Cryin' Adam Kinzinger, and Marjorie Traitor Brown (Remember, Green turns to Brown under stress!). They are all misfits and losers, but Massie, who is running against a great American Patriot in the Kentucky Primary, will hopefully lose BIG.
Shortly after his second inauguration, Trump appointed himself to the board for the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts, and added several of his allies to the board as well, who then named him chair. It was a divisive move, with the president's MAGA supporters cheering his takeover, his critics left disgusted, performers cancelling in protest, and ticket sales in a free fall.
Trump put someone in this position that has absolutely no experience and is completely unqualified to run the Department of Education. I'd like her to quit. Resign. Put someone in there that actually knows the job and understands education. There is nothing that she can do other than walk away.
Mamdani's office later confirmed the mayor pitched a proposal to secure $21bn in federal grants to make good on a central promise to create more citywide affordable housing. This would include the construction of a deck over the busy rail yard in Sunnyside, Queens to build 12,000 housing units. The president appeared enthusiastic, according to the mayor's chief spokesperson.
The Department of Homeland Security's top spokesperson is leaving the Trump administration, two government officials confirmed Tuesday, a departure that comes amid falling public approval ratings for the president's mass deportation agenda. Tricia McLaughlin, whose regular Fox News appearances elevated her into a face of the administration's hard-line immigration agenda, is leaving just over a year into Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem's tenure leading the agency.
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.
I think this is the whole problem is, you're making life harder for people in your district, right? Like, costs are going up and you say Congress should be in check, but you're not you haven't checked the president's power, Katz said. She continued, You haven't let him, like moderate at all. He's unchecked. And the only Republicans who ever go at him are people who are either retiring or who have lifetime appointments, Katz said.
If you are a lawyer, are interested in being an AUSA, and support President Trump and anti-crime agenda, DM me, Chad Mizelle, acting general counsel for Department of Homeland Security and former Department of Justice chief of staff under Trump, wrote on X on Saturday. We need good prosecutors. And DOJ is hiring across the country. Now is your chance to join the mission and do good for our country.
Before Trump said a single word, Press Watch's Dan Froomkin published a pre-emptive indictment of the press corps. Froomkin predicted journalists would pull out select quotes and proposals and lead with them, as if Trump had been articulate, would repeat his outrageous falsehoods without immediate and thorough rebuttal, and would treat the speech like it was normal.
Speaking out on Thursday, the two members of Congress reflected a national Democratic leadership that-finally, belatedly-seems to have found its collective voice in responding to what Donald Trump has unleashed on America since returning to office a year ago. Some of the President's most fervent opponents now believe, as the never-Trump conservative Charlie Sykes wrote on Thursday morning, that the recent news out of Minnesota marked a breaking point for 'patriotic, non-political normies.'
