Lifelong Democrat Ditches Party Over Trump Bill

7

President Donald J. Trump announced his latest push to support American workers and American-made cars: a sweeping tax reform that will let vehicle owners deduct interest on U.S.-made auto loans — a move that puts American industry, not foreign conglomerates, back in the driver’s seat.

Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with hardworking men and women from across the country — from farmers to food delivery drivers — Trump proudly introduced James Benson, a third-generation Ford autoworker from Belleville, Michigan, as a symbol of the shift sweeping Middle America.

“I used to be a Democrat,” Benson said, “but after what President Trump did for our jobs and our families, I changed in 2017. I saw the difference right away — in my paycheck, in our plant, and in the way Washington finally started listening to us.”

President Trump, whose bold tax overhaul in 2017 unleashed a wave of economic growth and record employment, doubled down on his Buy American, Hire American pledge. This time, his weapon of choice is a “big, beautiful” bill that makes auto loan interest up to $10,000 fully tax-deductible — but only if the vehicle was assembled in the U.S.A.

“If your car is made here in America — not in China, not in Mexico — then you get the deduction,” Trump declared. “If it’s made someplace else, we don’t care.”

The tax break would apply to passenger vehicles — including cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, and motorcycles — built on U.S. soil and delivered fully assembled to dealerships. This ensures that the jobs created and the benefits received stay where they belong: right here in the United States.

Details of the America First Auto Loan Deduction

  • Deduction Limit: Up to $10,000 in interest on qualified auto loans
  • Eligibility: Applies only to vehicles assembled in the U.S.
  • Income Threshold: Phases out for individuals earning above $100,000
  • Time Frame: Applies to tax years 2025 through 2028

James Benson’s story mirrors that of millions across the Rust Belt: Americans who voted Democrat for decades but saw real results only after Trump took office.

“Ford has a lot of plants here,” Trump noted. “And if you build here, you’re going to make a lot of money. I love the autoworkers.”

This isn’t just rhetoric. Ford recently announced a $3.5 billion investment in a battery plant in Michigan, citing stable trade conditions and pro-manufacturing policy signals.

DeSantis Addresses Rumors About First Lady’s Political Future

    0

    Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) addressed rumors his wife Casey could be considering a political future of her own in the near future.

    The Republican governor shot down speculation of his wife’s political ambitions at an event in Coral Gables. Recent polls have suggested that Casey DeSantis would be strongly favored in a hypothetical Republican primary for governor. 

    Asked about those polls, DeSantis smiled and told reporters, “If I had to characterize her interest in getting into the political thicket as a candidate, I would say, I would characterize it as zero. But, you know, I think it’s because she has had a front row seat on all the nonsense that goes on when you do it.”

    In an interview with Fox News’ Harris Faulkner in 2023, DeSantis said “humility” is what defined her as the first lady of the Sunshine State.

    “I think one who looks at the role with a lot of humility,” Casey said. “It isn’t about me. It is about being in a position to be able to do good on behalf of the people of this state and hopefully of this country.”

    Before her husband’s election as governor in 2018, DeSantis enjoyed a career as a television host, reporter and anchor.

    Far-right Billionaire Peter Thiel Revealed as FBI Informant

      4

      Far-right billionaire investor Peter Thiel was revealed as an FBI informant as recently as 2021, according to a new report from Insider.

      Insider reports:

      In order to be added to this database, multiple layers of approval are typically required, and only those able to provide “valuable information … on a recurring basis” are given CHS status. Once admitted to the CHS database, informants are then given a code name and a serial number to categorize reports.

      The source added that Thiel’s status as an FBI informant is meant to be a way for the billionaire to distance himself from the MAGA movement, which has repeatedly assailed both the FBI and the US Department of Justice in response to investigations focused on former President Donald Trump. Johnson told Insider that he believes Thiel is primarily informing on foreign governments’ attempts to cement themselves within Silicon Valley. Johnson added that Thiel was explicitly told to not inform on former President Donald Trump or other US political figures.

      Peter Thiel, who was the first outside investor in Facebook, became influential within the Republican Party in 2016, when he pledged $1.25 million to elect Trump and endorsed him at the 2016 Republican National Convention. Thiel then served on then-President-elect Trump’s transition team. And in the 2022 midterm elections, Thiel backed MAGA US Senate candidate and ‘Hillbilly Elegy’ author JD Vance with a $10 million super PAC donation. Vance went on to attack the FBI, falsely accusing agents of wiretapping his phone. Thiel also put $15 million toward a super PAC backing Arizona Republican US Senate candidate Blake Masters, who went on to lose the general election to incumbent Senator Mark Kelly (D-Arizona).

      Dem Strategist Admits 2024 Trump Could Win 2024 As Kamala Labels Herself ‘The Underdog’

        Democrats shouldn’t get too comfortable…

        Despite Kamala Harris’ recent gains a longtime Democrat strategist David Axelrod still says that if the 2024 election were held today Donald Trump would more than likely come out on top.

        “But this is still a very competitive race. If the election were today, I’m not sure who would win and I think it may well be President Trump because it’s an Electoral College fight,” Axelrod said.

        “I’ve said several times here that, you know, for Democrat to win those battleground states, they have to have a significant lead in the Electoral College,” he continued. “Remember, Joe Biden won by seven million votes nationally last time, and a margin of 45,000 votes or 44,000 votes in the three closest battleground states combined.”

        The Hill noted that while tens of millions of Americans will vote in the general election this fall, about a half-dozen of critical swing states will likely determine the race.

        “So, she’s [Harris] right to be telling people it’s good to be enthusiastic, that enthusiasm is really, really important for the Democratic Party,” Axelrod added. “But you have to turn that into energetic action in order to win the election. I think that’s going to be part of what you hear here.”

        Harris is leading Trump by 3 points nationally, according to a CBS News/YouGov poll released on Sunday. The poll showed Harris at 51 percent and Trump at 48 percent while the two were tied at 50 percent in the battleground states.

        The vice president was asked about the poll on Sunday and whether she still considers herself the underdog in the race.

        “I very much consider us the underdog. We have a lot of work to do to earn the vote of the American people,” she said.

        The vice president added, “That’s why we’re on this bus tour today, and we’re going to be traveling this country as we’ve been, and talking with folks, listening to folks and hopefully earning their votes over the next 79 days.”

          McCarthy Cursed Trump Following Historic Speaker Vote

            Tensions were running high after the House of Representatives voted to oust former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.).

            According to a new report from The Washington Post, McCarthy cursed out former President Donald Trump after he refused to defend the California Republican to his colleagues.

            The Hill has more:

            After Trump gave McCarthy a list of reasons why he didn’t support the former Speaker in a phone call, McCarthy let loose, the Post report said.

            “F‑‑‑ you,” he told Trump, according to two sources McCarthy told about the conversation, the Post reported.

            While Trump did not offer to support McCarthy after being ousted as Speaker the former president later explicitly endorsed Jim Jordan for the position.

            McCarthy has defended Trump in the wake of numerous civil and federal investigations into the former President.

            Musk Signals Plan To Be Less Involved In Future Political Campaigns

            1

            Elon Musk is backing away from politics…

            Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, a senior adviser to President Donald Trump, said this week that he will dial back his spending on future political campaigns.

            Asked about his plans for political contributions at Bloomberg’s Qatar Economic Forum, Musk said over video that he’s “going to do a lot less in the future.” Musk spent nearly $240 million through his political action committee, America PAC, helping Trump and Republicans in the 2024 election cycle. His comments on Tuesday, however, indicate that he won’t be as aggressive in pushing Republicans in the 2026 midterm elections.

            “I think I’ve done enough,” Musk said, adding, “If I see a reason to do political spending in the future, I will do it. I do not currently see a reason.”

            Watch:

            Along with his major donations to the Republican effort last election cycle, Musk was also a major fixture on the campaign trail, appearing multiple times alongside Trump. After Trump took office in January, Musk led the effort, alongside the Department of Government Efficiency project, to find waste and fraud within the federal government.

            After joining Trump in the White House, Musk got behind the conservative candidate in the closely watched Wisconsin Supreme Court election, saying the race could affect the “entire destiny” of humanity. Musk’s America PAC spent millions of dollars on race, but conservative candidate Brad Schimel lost to liberal candidate Susan Crawford by 10 percentage points, and the liberals maintained a majority on the court.

            Musk, who was regularly seen with the president during the Trump administration’s first 100 days, has taken a step back from overseeing Trump’s DOGE initiative.

            “I’ll be allocating far more of my time to Tesla…” Musk said last month.

            The Tesla CEO added in his interview on Tuesday that he is committed to leading the electric car company for at least the next five years, saying that he wants “sufficient voting control” to keep Tesla from falling into the hands of activist investors.

            “It’s not a money thing,” Musk said. “It’s a reasonable control thing over the future of the company.”

            Musk’s shift back to focusing on Tesla comes after the company saw a drop in revenue and net income over the first quarter of 2025. 

            After Musk became a senior adviser to Trump and pushed for major government spending cuts, Tesla has been targeted by leftist activists who have set fires to and vandalized vehicles and threatened Tesla dealerships.

            “Firing bullets into showrooms and burning down cars is unacceptable. Those people will go to prison, and the people that funded them and organized them will also go to prison. Don’t worry, we’re coming for you,” Musk said on Tuesday’s video call to the applause of the crowd.

            Trump Signals New Debate Against Harris

              In a Wednesday morning appearance on “Fox & Friends,” former President Donald Trump stated that he will debate Vice President Kamala Harris in the “pretty near future.” The surprise announcement has stirred considerable interest and speculation about the dynamics of this potential face-off.

              Trump’s Remarks

              During Fox News‘ morning program, Trump commented on Harris, saying, “I hear she’s sort of a nasty person, but not a good debater.” He added, “But we’ll see because we’ll be debating her, I guess, in the pretty near future.”

              The Hill reports:

              “It’s going to be announced fairly soon. But we’ll be debating her. I would like to see it on Fox, by the way,” the former president added.

              Trump indicated that other networks, such as NBC and CBS, have also been lobbying to host the event.

              “I want to debate her. I think it’s important for the country that we debate,” the GOP nominee said. “Now where it is, I’m all for Fox. I think Fox would do a really good job. But two people have to agree.”

              Debate Dilemmas: Fox vs. ABC

              The potential debate between Trump and Harris comes following a standoff between their campaigns over the choice of news networks.

              The ABC News debate, which was originally scheduled for Sept. 10, was supposed to feature both Trump and President Biden. However, Biden’s withdrawal from the race immediately cast doubt on the status of the debate. Eventually, Trump also backed away from the debate, citing his lawsuit against ABC News host George Stephanopoulos as a primary reason.

              The Harris campaign likewise rejected Trump’s proposal to appear on Fox News on Sept. 4. They claimed that the Republican nominee is “running scared” and attempting to back out of the debate he had already agreed to, allegedly hoping for more favorable coverage from Fox News instead.

              What’s Next?

              With both campaigns appearing to yield little ground, the scheduling and platform for the Trump-Harris debate remain in question. Will they find a middle ground and proceed with the debate? Only time will tell.

              Watch: Hecklers Derail Pelosi Event

                6

                Things quickly went off the rails at an event featuring former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

                The heckler interrupted Pelosi, who was speaking alongside economist Paul Krugman at The City University of New York’s Graduate Center — and accused her of having “a very bad obsession” with getting the United States into war.

                “You know Pelosi, that’s a very good place for you, in the depths of hell,” the heckler began, and continued to shout over the booing crowd as security quickly surrounded him to remove him from the venue.

                “For some reason, you have a very bad obsession of getting us into war. Hey, why is it that you did not admit that there were no WMDs in Iraq? You lied us into a war in Iraq. You got us to invade Afghanistan. Now over 90% of those people are impoverished and are dying,” he shouted. “Why don’t you tell the truth about Nordstream? You’re leaving millions of Germans without energy! You have a knack for getting us into war! People like you should be arrested. You are a war criminal!”

                Pelosi said nothing, sitting calmly on the stage and waiting for the chaos to die down — but another heckler quickly picked up where the first had left off.

                “Hey, Congresswoman! I came to see a warmonger, but you’re a sad old drunk. What happened?” the second protester asked. “When you went to Taiwan, were you looking for Ukraine? Did we blow up the Nordstream on accident or on purpose? Did you know about that?”

                He continued to shout at her, calling her a “war criminal” as security moved to take him out as well. “How many people have died in your f***ing name? How many people have died because of Iraq?” he asked.

                Once the second protester had been removed, a third stood up, and then a fourth — each criticizing Pelosi for provoking war

                Trump Celebrates ‘Major WIN’ in Lawsuit Against Pulitzer Prize Board 

                  0

                  He’s a winner…

                  President Donald Trump took a victory lap, celebrating what he called a “major WIN” in his lawsuit against the Pulitzer Prize Board over its 2018 award to The New York Times and The Washington Post for their coverage of the Russia probe.

                  The president declared the board’s defense was “viciously rejected” by a Florida appellate court, which denied its motion to pause proceedings until Trump leaves office.

                  Trump took to Truth Social to praise the decision and slam the reporting as “fake” and “malicious”:

                  BREAKING! In a major WIN in our powerful lawsuit against the Pulitzer Prize Board regarding the illegal and defamatory “Award” of their once highly respected “Prize,” to fake, malicious stories on the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, by the Failing New York Times and the Washington Compost, the Florida Appellate Court viciously rejected the Defendants’ corrupt attempt to halt the case. They won a Pulitzer Prize for totally incorrect reporting about the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax. Now they admit it was a SCAM, never happened, and their reporting was totally wrong, in fact, the exact opposite of the TRUTH. They’ll have to give back their “Award.” They were awarded for false reporting, and we can’t let that happen in the United States of America. We are holding the Fake News Media responsible for their LIES to the American People, so we can, together, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

                  At the heart of the case is the board’s public defense of its Pulitzer-winning coverage. Trump sued for defamation in 2022, arguing that the board’s statements supporting the reporting – despite the Mueller probe finding no evidence of collusion – amounted to “malicious” and “false” claims.

                  Florida’s Fourth District Court of Appeal ruled against the board’s attempt to delay the suit on constitutional grounds. Judges dismissed arguments that continuing the case would unconstitutionally interfere with a sitting president’s official duties, a line of attack the court called “misplaced.”

                  “Such privileges are afforded to the President alone, not to his litigation adversaries,” the opinion reads, adding that only the person entitled to immunity may assert it, and that Trump had made no such attempt.

                  The board had argued that allowing the case to proceed would violate due process, particularly since Trump himself has previously invoked presidential privilege to pause lawsuits against him.

                  The decision clears the way for the case to continue, allowing Trump to maintain pressure on the Pulitzer Board.
