Trump insiders call out 'sign of desperation' as ally begs for help

Trump insiders call out 'sign of desperation' as ally begs for help President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, despite frequently being at odds with each other over prosecuting the war in Iran, are nevertheless far closer to one another politically than they are apart. Perhaps for that reason, Netanyahu is now calling on Trump to help him in his ongoing reelection campaign -- a sign that insiders say points to "desperation" from the key politician.

Conservative lawyer shreds MAGA for having no moral rock bottom

Conservative lawyer shreds MAGA for having no moral rock bottom Arguing that he had "never seen a viler" attack ad in political history than the one that blew up this week, a prominent conservative New York Times columnist thrashed President Donald Trump and his MAGA movement for continuing to prove they have no rock bottom to hit when it comes to ethics and morality. David French is a columnist for the Times who previously worked as a staff writer for the conservative National Review, as well as a former attorney. He has been critical of Trump since his entry into politics during the 2016 presidential race, and continues to express revulsion at the moral depravity that his MAGA movement is capable of, as he explained in his latest column on Sunday, ripping into Ohio GOP gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy widely denounced attack ad against his Democratic opponent, Amy Acton.

'Left out in the cold': Key workers expose Trump's chilly betrayal

'Left out in the cold': Key workers expose Trump's chilly betrayal President Donald Trump has betrayed, or "left out in the cold," a group of key workers that he once encouraged to trust him. "The new, chillier approach includes a nearly six-month-long delay in a congressionally mandated pay hike for the nation's 15,000 air traffic controllers, which the Federal Aviation Administration granted only recently while demanding concessions on work hours," reported Politico's Oriana Pawlyk on Sunday. "Meanwhile, the Transportation Security Administration has provoked a union grievance by requiring its document checkers at airport checkpoints to stand throughout their shifts."

Humiliated ex-Trump official grovels to stay in good graces

Humiliated ex-Trump official grovels to stay in good graces President Donald Trump's former press secretary, Katie Zacharia, left the administration in disgrace earlier this month after she was accused of falsifying her law background and bellyflopping her first press conference. Yet as Zacharia wishes for the world to clearly know, she is still very fond of the president who so unceremoniously gave her the boot. Katie Zacharia is showing not-so-subtle hints that she is still fully on board with President Donald Trump even after she was forced out of the White House," reported The Daily Beast's Annabella Rosciglione on Sunday. "Zacharia, who lasted just five days in her role as Trump's White House press secretary, responded to a news story asserting that she was still "ruthlessly loyal" to the president with one affirmation."

The moment Trump shattered his top successor's dreams right to his face

The moment Trump shattered his top successor's dreams right to his face President Donald Trump's presumed 2028 successor remains the same, but he appears unwilling to make their path to the GOP nomination a simple one. In a new piece for The i Paper, reporter and columnist Sarah Baxter outlined the moment this past week when Trump shattered Vice President JD Vance's 2028 "dreams" directly to his face. Before that, her description began during his interview with journalist Mike Halperin on Air Force Two, where Vance insisted that, "if I run, the President will endorse me," while stressing that the two have not discussed the matter

Biographer says Trump's political future in doubt after MAGA's vile new low

Biographer says Trump's political future in doubt after MAGA's vile new low President Donald Trump will not be able to escape the blowback from his MAGA movement's vile new low point, with his one-time biographer predicting that it could cast doubt on the viability and future of his entire political identity. Michael Wolff is a longtime author and reporter, best known for his extensive coverage of Trump's political career, including several books about his chaotic first term. In the latest episode of his Daily Beast podcast, "Inside Trump's Head," he and co-host Joanna Coles discussed the ongoing fallout from Ohio GOP gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy's widely criticized new attack ad, which featured his opponent Amy Acton's mother, who previously lost custody of her children after her second husband allegedly abused them.

Jeanine Pirro accused of serious 'crimes' by Reflecting Pool target

Jeanine Pirro accused of serious 'crimes' by Reflecting Pool target D.C. Attorney General Jeanine Pirro and her office stand accused of serious "crimes" relating to their handling of the Reflecting Pool case, as laid out in a letter sent by the legal team of the former Olympian they went after. David Hearn is a former Olympic canoeist who was arrested and charged by Pirro's office over the summer on allegations that he damaged the Lincoln Memorial. This came shortly after President Donald Trump accused the pool's poor condition of being the result of vandalism instead of shoddy work done by the contractors he hired to remodel it, leading to the impression that Hearn was being set up as a sacrificial lamb to back up the president's claims.

Republicans can't copy Trump's 'sociopathic' cruelty for 1 key reason

Republicans can't copy Trump's 'sociopathic' cruelty for 1 key reason Certain Republicans continue to try to mimic President Donald Trump's "sociopathic" cruelty, but according to one prominent New York Times columnist, their attempts to do so are doomed to backfire for one key reason. In the latest edition of his "Takes" video series on YouTube, liberal Times columnist Jamelle Bouie discussed the continuing fallout from Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy's widely criticized new attack ad. Going after Democratic nominee Amy Acton, the ad featured her estranged mother calling her a liar, though many observers quickly noted that Acton has not seen her mother since 1978, when she lost custody of Acton and her brother due to the abuse they allegedly suffered at the hands of their stepfather. Her mother remained with her second husband until his death, fleeing the state so he could not face charges.

'Holy goodness!' Legal experts unleash on foolish DOJ failures

'Holy goodness!' Legal experts unleash on foolish DOJ failures When the Justice Department filed a civil lawsuit against California to block 20,000 voters from voting, the associate attorney general made a significant admission that made the co-hosts of the "Sisters-in-Law" podcast burst out laughing. Kimberly Atkins Stohr, a senior opinion writer at the Boston Globe and MS NOW contributor, explained during the episode that this was part of the Department of Homeland Security's attempt to get states to purge their voter rolls of people that its database claimed weren't citizens. The problem is that the database has proven to be filled with errors. An alarming number of those they sought to remove were lawful voters. So, even Republican states refused the demand.

'Selective justice': No charges after woman attacked at Trump rally

'Selective justice': No charges after woman attacked at Trump rally A group of men accused of assaulting a woman who heckled President Donald Trump at a recent rally remain uncharged nearly two weeks later, according to a report from The New York Times, with one commentator calling it a prime example of the sort of "selective good ole boy justice" that Trump has allowed to flourish. As the Times' report detailed on Saturday, 29-year-old Blake Miley attended the Oct. 12 Trump midterm rally in Youngstown wearing a shirt calling for the release of the Epstein files, and at one point, stood up and repeatedly called the president a "fascist." In response, Milly "was tackled, held down and punched by male rally-goers as the president mocked her from the stage, calling her 'scum,' 'low-class,' and 'a fat guy.'" Trump, who misgendered Miley multiple times, suggested from the stage that her parents were supporters of his.
