MAGA gloats as never-Trumpers groan at Trump's latest prosecution of Comey President Donald Trump announced on Monday that he is pursuing a third prosecution against former FBI Director James Comey, this time accusing the bureaucrat who arguably helped him win the 2016 presidential election, and whose subsequent firing led to another FBI investigation into the president.

Psychologist exposes the grim mission driving Trump's ultimate endgame

Psychologist exposes the grim mission driving Trump's ultimate endgame Before President Donald Trump took office, there was no widespread movement in America to annex Greenland or Canada. No one thought we should prioritize renaming the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts, renovating the East Potomac Golf Links or destroying the White House's East Wing to build a ballroom. Yet millions of Americans support these things now, for no other reason than Trump wants them. And because these millions of Americans enable Trump's most grandiose whims, the rest of us seem to underplay the fact that those wishes are in fact signs of a profoundly disturbed mind. This is not mere grandstanding; Trump has draped his image over the Justice Department building and slapped it on passports, openly claimed to be America's all-time greatest president and even compared himself to Jesus Christ. Because Greenland is controlled by Denmark, America's NATO ally, Trump's threats of conquest have weakened that crucial international alliance. Similarly, by convincing Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to seek long-term trade agreements with China and the European Union, his public boasts that Canada will become "America's 51st state" (and private meddling in the ultimately-unsuccessful Albertan separatist movement) have led to a trade war loss instead of a victory.

CNN host corners top GOP official over lack of 'concern' for economy

CNN host corners top GOP official over lack of 'concern' for economy On Monday, a top Republican official found himself flailing to defend President Donald Trump and the GOP's inattention to the economic suffering of Americans. According to Mike Hurst - Chairman of the Mississippi Republican Party and general counsel for the Republican National Committee - inflation is "not a chief concern for our party." Hurst was appearing on CNN when host Boris Sanchez asked about "one of the chief concerns for voters, and that is gas prices." As Sanchez explained, "Under President Trump's second term, the average is now higher than under President Biden, driven by the war with Iran. Almost eight months into this war, officials tell CNN that Trump is leaning toward major new strikes after the election. Can you tell us whether Senator Hyde-Smith supports renewed war with Iran?" His question comes as polls show Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS) - who has consistently supported the war's continuation, voting against resolutions to end it - is fighting a surprisingly tight race considering Mississippi's firmly deep red history against Democratic candidate Scott Colom. According to the latest surveys, her lead may be as narrow as three points.

The bishop presiding over Mar-a-Lago just smacked down Trump's photo op

The bishop presiding over Mar-a-Lago just smacked down Trump's photo op President Donald Trump has relied heavily on Catholic voters to win power in the White House, but now many Catholic leaders are turning on the president -- including the one who presides over the region that includes Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. "I wish to remind all the faithful of the Diocese of Palm Beach that the Catholic Church does not endorse or support any political candidate or political party," wrote Bishop Manuel de Jesús Rodr?guez on X on Monday. "The Catholic Church remains a nonpartisan community of faith, whose sacred mission is to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ in full communion with our Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, and the College of Bishops."

Ex-Trump aide predicts how he will get Republicans to back his impeachment

Ex-Trump aide predicts how he will get Republicans to back his impeachment President Donald Trump could continue to "push the envelope" so much that even Republicans become sick of him enough to back impeachment, according to one of his former first-term aides. Anthony Scaramucci famously served as White House Communications Director during Trump's first term in the White House and was fired after a week and a half on the job, after comments critical of his colleagues emerged. Since then, he has become a vocal critic of his former boss, making countless media appearances to offer his unique perspective on the Trump political machine.

'He's going to explode': White House 'moles' claim Trump on the brink

'He's going to explode': White House 'moles' claim Trump on the brink President Donald Trump currently finds that "he is as isolated and as out of it as ever," according to longtime political advocate Robert Reich, who cited "two moles" within the White House telling him what they are seeing, who also warned that "he's going to explode." Reich -- who previously served as secretary of labor under Bill Clinton and has since emerged as a vocal liberal activist and advocate for income equality -- made the claim during his latest "Coffee Klatch" podcast with his co-host and former student, Heather Lofthouse, during a conversation about the grim outlook for Trump and the Republicans in the midterms.

'Total gobbledygook': Trump DOJ roasted for nonsense election meddling

'Total gobbledygook': Trump DOJ roasted for nonsense election meddling President Donald Trump's Attorney General attempted to defend the administration's latest bombshell election lawsuit, prompting a thorough roasting from observers across social media, with one prominent New York Times columnist calling his argument "total gobbledygook." The Justice Department this week filed a lawsuit asking a federal court to block the certification of Alaska's Senate race if incumbent Republican Dan Sullivan loses by a small enough margin. The agency alleged that too much confusion was being created by the presence of another third-party candidate also named Dan Sullivan on the ballot, despite the fact that the state's Supreme Court allowed the situation to play out months ago.
