Are you surprised, in particular, by their decision today? asked an unnamed reporter about Gorsuch and Barrett before Trump interrupted, saying, I am. And do you regret nominating them? the reporter continued. I don't want to say whether or not I regret I think the decision was terrible, responded Trump of Gorsuch, whom he appointed in 2017, and Barrett, who took her seat in 2020.
President Donald Trump, for example, criticized the performance in a lengthy Truth Social post, calling it "absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER" and a "'slap in the face' to our Country."
You could, if you wished, divine a certain Maga-baiting intent not just in the decision to give the album of the year award to Bad Bunny a Puerto Rican who attracted criticism from the Trump administration after he was booked to headline the SuperBowl LX half-time show but the choice of the Buena Vista Social Club, a Broadway hit based on the 1997 album of the same name featuring veteran Cuban musicians, as the best musical theatre album.
More than two decades ago, I semi-seriously proposed calling this website The American Conservative Online. My reasoning was twofold: 1) At that time, we ink-stained wretches were still somewhat in denial about this whole internet thing, so we liked to append "online" to our website titles. 2) The acronym would have been "TACO." The hilarity of publishing broadsides against George W. Bush's proposed immigration amnesties on something called TACO would have been hard to deny, but cooler heads prevailed.
Shockingly, our 'brilliant' NATO Ally, the United Kingdom, is currently planning to give away the Island of Diego Garcia, the site of a vital U.S. Military Base, to Mauritius, and to do so FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER. There is no doubt that China and Russia have noticed this act of total weakness. The UK giving away extremely important land is an act of GREAT STUPIDITY, and is another in a very long line of National Security reasons why Greenland has to be acquired.
On Wednesday on his WarRoom podcast, Bannon argued Hegseth ordering a review of Kelly over potentially unlawful conduct is not enough. We've got to stop messing around! Kelly's got to be recalled. We don't need to wait until 10, December, Pete, Bannon said. It's pretty obvious what [Kelly] did. Just recall him back to active duty and let's convene a court martial.
It was a blue wave across America on Election Day. The Late Show, Late Night, The Daily Show, and The Tonight Show celebrated democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani's triumph over the Trump-endorsed Andrew Cuomo in the New York City mayoral race in addition to Virginia governor-elect Abigail Spanberger and New Jersey governor-elect Mikie Sherrill. On the back of President Donald Trump declaring war on late night, Jordan Klepper, Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, Jimmy Kimmel, and even Jimmy Fallon took the opportunity to call Trump a loser, celebrate Mamdani's new policies, and, for the first time in a while, feel "good."
Nancy Pelosi Speaker Emerita Pelosi is a legendary figure, a hero, [and] she's done so much for so many over so many years, Jeffries said. She speaks powerfully, she speaks authentically, she speaks eloquently on issues of importance to the American people. As I indicated, Nancy Pelosi is a legend. She has done more for people here in this country than almost every single American who has served in the House of Representatives, Jeffries said.
Barack Obama headlined a rally Saturday in Virginia to try to secure a victory for the state's Democratic gubernatorial candidate, who leads in polls days before the election. Obama moved between criticizing Donald Trump and Republican policy and rhetoric with a bit of humor while also explaining how Abigail Spanberger could help counter what Democrats see as the country's downward trajectory.
Nobel Prize-winning author Wole Soyinka said on Tuesday that his non-resident visa to enter the United States had been rejected, adding that he believes it may be because he recently criticized U.S. President Donald Trump. The Nigerian author, 91, won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1986, becoming the first African to do so. Speaking to the press on Tuesday, Soyinka said he believed it had little to do with him and was instead a product of the United States' immigration policies.
Whether you like Corrupt James Comey or not, and I can't imagine too many people liking him, HE LIED! It is not a complex lie, it's a very simple, but IMPORTANT one. There is no way he can explain his way out of it. He is a Dirty Cop, and always has been, but he was just assigned a Crooked Joe Biden appointed Judge, so he's off to a very good start.
Donald Trump's renewed anger at Jerome Powell over delayed interest-rate cuts has intensified after a dramatic revision cut U.S. job growth by 911,000 since 2024-adding fuel to Trump's criticism of the Fed and amplifying political strife ahead of the Federal Reserve's September meeting. For months, Trump has been vocal in his frustration with Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell for being "too late" to cut rates, and he just got fresh ammunition in the latest jobs report data revision.
Carr has launched formal reviews of nearly all the major broadcast networks ABC, CBS, NBC, NPR and PBS. He has also initiated investigations into the diversity, equity and inclusion actions of the corporate parents of ABC and NBC the Walt Disney Co. and Comcast, respectively. One network has so far escaped his scrutiny: Fox, which is owned by Trump political ally Rupert Murdoch.
