    Progressive Veterans Group is Pushing to Ban Fox News from Miltary Bases

      A progressive veterans organization is pushing to ban the airing of Fox News on U.S. military bases.

      According to The Hill, a new ad by the group VoteVets hones in on recent revelations made as part of a legal fight the network faces over its coverage of the 2020 election.

      A narrator for the ad says Fox engaged in “information warfare that divides the troops, hurts unit cohesion, weakens our readiness, and threatens our national security.”

      “There’s no excuse for allowing anti-American, anti-democracy anti-military disinformation in the barracks, in the chow hall or anywhere our troops serve,” the ad says.

      Watch the ad here below:

      Fox News is currently embroiled in a 1.6 billion defamation suit against Dominion Voting Systems. The company has argued Fox intentionally aired false claims about the company regarding the 2020 election.

      Fox has so far unsuccessfully moved to have the case dismissed on First Amendment grounds.

      Fox released the following statement on the ongoing legal matter:

      “Dominion’s lawsuit has always been more about what will generate headlines than what can withstand legal and factual scrutiny, as illustrated by them now being forced to slash their fanciful damages demand by more than half a billion dollars after their own expert debunked its implausible claims,” the network said in its most recent statement about the case.

      “Their summary judgment motion took an extreme, unsupported view of defamation law that would prevent journalists from basic reporting and their efforts to publicly smear Fox for covering and commenting on allegations by a sitting President of the United States should be recognized for what it is: a blatant violation of the First Amendment.”

      Recent court documents from the ongoing dispute revealed some network executives and prime-time lineup privately doubted former President Donald Trump’s claims of widespread voter fraud after losing reelection. However, some of them expressed fear that any fact-checkers might alienate their audience.

      American Liberty News previously reported that at one point, Laura Ingraham’s producer messaged network management, saying her “BS” about the election would wind up giving him “a f*cking aneurysm.”

      Around the same time, Tucker Carlson wanted Fox News’ prime-time hosts to pressure network execs to fire reporter Jacqui Heinrich for fact-checking Trump.

      “Please get her fired,” Carlson messaged Sean Hannity. “Seriously… What the f*ck?”

      Actress Fires Back at Critics Over Attendance at Mar-a-Lago Dog Rescue Event

      Actress Katherine Heigl is pushing back against critics who took issue with her appearance at a dog rescue fundraiser held at Mar-a-Lago, the Palm Beach estate of President Donald Trump, arguing the event was focused entirely on animal welfare rather than politics.

      Heigl attended the Wine, Women & Shoes Benefiting Big Dog Ranch Rescue fundraiser on Sunday at Trump’s Florida residence. According to the organization, the event raised $5.5 million to support its work rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming dogs.

      But her appearance quickly drew backlash online from critics who objected to her participation in an event held at the home of the former and current Republican president. The criticism reflects a broader dynamic in the country’s polarized political climate, where public figures often face scrutiny simply for appearing at venues associated with Trump or his allies.

      In recent years, commentators on the right have frequently used the phrase “Trump Derangement Syndrome” (TDS) to describe what they view as an outsized or reflexive hostility toward Trump and anything connected to him. Supporters argue the phenomenon leads some critics to condemn even non-political activities if they occur in proximity to Trump or his properties, while detractors of the term say it is used to dismiss legitimate concerns about the former president.

      Heigl appeared to push back against the idea that politics should overshadow charitable work.

      “Animals don’t vote. The only room they don’t like is the euthanasia room at a shelter,” Heigl said in a statement to Page Six. “They are completely at the mercy of us, and they have no voice of their own.”

      “This event was about animal advocacy — something that has always been deeply personal to me,” she continued. “Anyone who knows me knows that protecting animals is one of my greatest passions.”

      She also urged people not to turn animal welfare into a partisan issue.

      “As a society, we should all come together to protect the voiceless and the innocent,” she added. “This should not be a polarizing issue.”

      The actress also responded directly to critics on Instagram after the event circulated online. Some commenters questioned why she would attend a fundraiser held at Trump’s home, while others mocked or dismissed her involvement.

      When one commenter wrote, “Who even is she?” Heigl replied:

      “Doesn’t matter. Do you care about animals? If so donate! Time! Money! Attention! Your voice! It doesn’t matter who I am only what I do.”

      She followed up with another response encouraging people to focus on causes they care about rather than online criticism.

      “The same goes for you! Animals might not be your thing but I bet you care deeply about something that matters! Do your part! Don’t waste your time scrolling and making comments!”

      Heigl, best known for her roles in “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Knocked Up,” and “27 Dresses,” has long been active in animal rescue efforts. She and her mother co-founded the Jason Debus Heigl Foundation, named after her late brother, which works to rescue dogs and cats and fund spay-and-neuter programs.

      In recent years, the actress has stepped back somewhat from Hollywood life. In a 2023 interview on the “Today” show, Heigl said she relocated with her family to Utah after spending much of her career in Los Angeles.

      “I think some people are mountain people, and I think some people are beach people,” Heigl explained. “I’m sort of a mountain person and have always been that way.”

      She said the move helped provide balance after years in the entertainment industry.

      “And my mom realized, because we went out to LA when I was 17 and hustled and hustled for years, right?” Heigl continued. “And I think she realized at a certain point that I needed somewhere to escape to and kind of clear my head, and that grounded me.”

      Despite the controversy surrounding the Mar-a-Lago fundraiser, Heigl made clear that her focus remains on the charitable mission behind the event — helping animals that cannot advocate for themselves.

      Trump Seeks To Proceed With $10B Lawsuit Over Wall Street Journal

      President Donald Trump’s legal team has requested a Florida federal judge reject a request from the Wall Street Journal to dismiss a $10 billion defamation lawsuit over the paper’s reporting on the bawdy letter allegedly penned by Trump that appeared in a birthday book for disgraced financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. 

      In a court filing late Monday, Trump’s lawyers argued that the July article and surrounding coverage were a “deliberate smear campaign designed to damage President Trump’s reputation” and subject the president to “public hatred and ridicule.” They also requested oral arguments over the Journal’s recent motion to dismiss.

      “Defendants did not publish the Article on the front page of The Wall Street Journal based on a mere harmless joke between friends,” Monday’s filing said. “Indeed, such an assertion strains credulity beyond repair. The Article, and the surrounding media around it, were all a deliberate smear campaign designed to damage President Trump’s reputation.”

      Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for aiding and participating in Epstein’s trafficking of underage girls, told Justice Department officials in August that Epstein had asked her to organize contributions to his 50th birthday book from friends and associates, but said she could not recall if Trump, then a private citizen, was among those who responded.

      Last month, the House Oversight Committee released records from Epstein’s estate that included a copy of a birthday book with the alleged letter from Trump that the newspaper had described.

      Trump then filed a lawsuit against the Journal in July, and has continued to assert the letter is fake and that the signature on the letter is not his.

      Acknowledging the release of the letter by the House Oversight panel, Trump’s lawyers alleged that the Wall Street Journal was still “deliberate and malicious” in its reporting by claiming that the letter was not only authored by Trump but also “on-brand” for the president. 

      The Wall Street Journal has stood by its reporting.

      “Because Plaintiff has publicly admitted that he was Epstein’s friend in the early 2000s, his reputation cannot be harmed by the suggestion that he was friends with Epstein in 2003. Indeed, he was listed in the Birthday Book as a ‘friend’ of Epstein. The fact that his relationship with Epstein may now be a political liability — over 20 years after the Birthday Book was presented to Epstein — does not change this conclusion,” the Journal contended in its request for dismissal.

      While the Journal’s reporting included a denial from President Trump, his lawyers argued in Mondays filing that the publication still acted with a “reckless disregard for the truth” because the request for comment was rushed and the reporting allegedly cast doubt on the president’s claim.

      Political Strategist Says Democrats Will Target Trump’s Family After Midterms

      By

      Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville is escalating his rhetoric against President Donald Trump, warning that Democrats will aggressively target not just the president—but his family—if they win back power in the 2026 midterms.

      In a new video this week, Carville predicted sweeping GOP losses in November, framing the expected outcome as a political knockout that would leave Trump exposed to a wave of investigations.

      “Let’s talk about your future, your post-November future,” Carville said, anticipating widespread defeat of Trump and the GOP. “The Democrats are going to investigate you to no end.”

      “They’re going to start going after you. Then they’re going to start figuring out where all the money stolen is,” he continued. “Then they’re going to go after your stupid jacka– kids and their spouses and all the other bulls— that you see, and they’re going to investigate the s— out of you.”

      The comments build on a broader—and increasingly aggressive—set of predictions from Carville, who has repeatedly argued that Democrats are poised for major midterm gains. Across multiple recent appearances, he has claimed Republicans are heading toward significant losses, citing voter frustration over inflation, dissatisfaction with Trump’s leadership, and fallout from the administration’s handling of the Iran conflict.

      Carville has gone even further, suggesting those losses could trigger a chain reaction inside Washington: Democratic control of Congress, immediate impeachment proceedings, and a flood of investigations into Trump’s finances, conduct in office, and inner circle.

      Trump himself has warned that a Democratic victory would lead to exactly that scenario, arguing that impeachment and investigations would follow quickly if Republicans lose control of the House or Senate.

      Carville, however, is not just predicting investigations—he is openly embracing them. He has previously urged Democrats to center their messaging on accountability, including proposals for commissions to examine alleged “war profiteering” tied to the Iran conflict, which he has called a “catastrophe of the first order” and a “racket war.”

      In his latest remarks, Carville also raised the possibility that Trump could face scrutiny beyond U.S. borders.

      “When it comes to the stuff you’re doing in Iran, I got to tell you, you’re getting really, really, really close to war crimes here. You’re probably going to cross the line,” Carville warned. “And the one thing that Democrats are going to insist on in the 2028 election is that if you’re indicted by the international courts and I think it’s in Hog or Hague or somewhere in the Netherlands, we’re not going to protect your a–, not gonna protect you.”

      He added that Trump’s political support could quickly erode—even within his own party—if Republicans suffer major defeats.

      “You know who’s going to turn on you?” Carville asked. “What’s left of the Republican senators.”

      Carville has repeatedly floated a dramatic endgame: that the mounting pressure—from investigations, impeachment threats, and political isolation—could ultimately push Trump to resign early and seek a pardon from Vice President JD Vance. Still, he has argued that even a presidential pardon would not shield Trump from state-level or international legal exposure.

      “I got news for you, dude. You’re done,” he said. “And we’re going to enjoy watching your downfall. Thank you very much.”

      The White House quickly fired back. In a statement to Fox News Digital, a spokesperson said, “James Carville is a stone-cold loser who clearly suffers from a severe and debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted his peanut-sized brain.”

      Carville’s latest comments are consistent with his long track record of blunt—and often controversial—political predictions. In recent years, he has repeatedly forecast Trump’s political collapse, including predicting a Democratic victory in 2024 and even suggesting Trump’s second administration would “collapse in 30 days.”

      Now, with the 2026 midterms approaching, Carville is once again making a high-stakes call—this time not just about electoral outcomes, but about what he believes will be an aggressive, wide-ranging effort to investigate Trump, his family, and those closest to him if Democrats take back power.

        Rush Limbaugh is sticking it to liberals even beyond the grave.

        Kathryn Adams Limbaugh, the widow of conservative radio icon Rush Limbaugh confirmed to Glenn Beck that his death certificate reads his occupation as “Radio’s Greatest of All Time.”

        “[It was] another thing we wanted to do in a way to tweak the media as a final goodbye from Rush, which we know he certainly would have loved,” she said. “But someone put that through, ironically.”

        Limbaugh also described her late husband as someone who “was so humble.”

        “He had the biggest heart,” she said. “He was so sincere. He never forgot the little guy.”

        Later in the interview, Beck asked if Sir Elton John, who is known to support Democrats, was aware when he performed at her 2010 wedding that the groom was the conservative radio host. Ms. Limbaugh shared that she belives the two men regardless of their opposite ideological differences were actually very similar.

        “This may be breaking news, but I believe that Sir Elton John and Rush are actually very, very similar. They had quite a similar demeanor off of their performance personality. I believe that they both were so hard-working. They both were at the top of their game, so to speak. They both loved their audience,” Kathryn Limbaugh added. “So in many respects, they were very similar.”

        Rush Limbaugh passed away last February following a battle with lung cancer.

        Trump Speaks Out As Supreme Court Hears Oral Arguments

        Former President Donald Trump is reacting after the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments on Thursday.

        The court is considering for the first time the meaning and reach of a provision of the 14th Amendment barring former officeholders who “engaged in insurrection” from holding public office again. 

        “I just finished watching Supreme Court, you know, like to watch in many respects. It’s unfortunate that we have to go through the thing like that,” Trump told reporters at a press conference at Mar-a-Lago in Florida. “I consider it to be more election interference by the Democrats that’s what they’re doing. Good news is we’re leading virtually every poll.” 

        The high court heard arguments Thursday on whether Trump should be disqualified from the ballot in Colorado for inciting in an “insurrection” at his Jan. 6, 2021 rally at the Capitol. 

        Trump called the oral arguments a “beautiful process” and said, “I hope that democracy in this country will continue.”

        “You have millions of people that are out there wanting to vote and they happen to want to vote for me or the Republican Party, whatever you want or however you want to phrase it, But I’m the one running and we are leading in every poll,” Trump said, calling the support he’s received a “great honor.” 

        The Hill and other outlets reported the Supreme Court justice appeared reluctant to take the extraordinary step of disqualifying former President Trump from appearing on the ballot.

        Rand Paul Uses Life-saving Maneuver On Fellow Republican Senator

          On Thursday, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) used the Heimlich maneuver on Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) during the Senate GOP’s Thursday lunch after she choked on part of her meal. 

          Sen. Ernst referenced the ordeal in an X post and thanked Dr. Paul for his swift action.

          “Can’t help but choke on the woke policies Dems are forcing down our throats. Thanks, Dr. @RandPaul !” she wrote. 

          According to The Hill, Ernst and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) hosted the Thursday luncheon, which is provided weekly by a member and frequently features their home state’s delicacies. Grassley posted about the meal shortly beforehand.

          Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who has battled frequently with Paul over the years on foreign policy issues, remarked to The Washington Post afterwards “God bless Rand Paul.”

          “I never thought I’d say that,” he added.

          Report: Trump’s Truth Social Lost $58 Million in 2023

            Trump might be banking on his now-public company becoming his cash cow but financial filings are showing a concerning big picture.

            Last week, the parent company of Trump’s Truth Social media company went public as the likely Republican nominee seeks to pay off numerous legal bills.

            Mediaite has more:

            Trump holds upwards of 78 million shares in the firm, officially dubbed Trump Media & Technology Group, that are now worth billions of dollars after the initial round of sales of company stock.

            But according to the company’s SEC filings, the fundamentals do not come remotely close to justifying the stock price. In fact, it brough in just $4.1 million in revenue in 2023 and suffered a net loss of over $58 million. A majority of those losses are attributable to its debt, although its operating costs were still approximately four times higher than its revenue stream.

            Trump is not allowed to sell his shares for six months, and some analysts have predicted that a Trump-led sell-off will trigger a major dip in stocks.

            Former New York Assistant Attorney General Adam Pollock has argued that the company is “essentially worthless” and Fox Business host Stuart Varney predicted that the stock would crash if it looks like Trump is going to lose his bid to retake the White House.

            “I think it’s almost like a meme stock, and that’s the way it’ll play out,” said Varney. “It’s a bet on whether Trump wins or loses in November of this year. If he loses, I think the stock goes way down. If he wins or looks like he’s going to win, I think the stock does well because then Truth Social will do well.”

              Stefanik Files Ethics Complaint Against Special Counsel Jack Smith

                On Tuesday, House GOP conference chair Elise Stefanik (R-NY) filed an ethics complaint against special counsel Jack Smith on Tuesday, accusing the prosecutor overseeing the federal investigations into former President Trump of trying to “unlawfully interfere with the 2024 presidential election.”

                The New York Congresswoman filed the complaint with the Justice Department’s Office of Professional Responsibility, arguing that Smith is trying to “rush” Trump’s federal election subversion case.

                “It’s obvious to any reasonable observer that Jack Smith is trying to interfere with the 2024 election and stop the American people from electing Donald Trump,” Stefanik said in a statement. “At every turn, he has sought to accelerate his illegal prosecution of President Trump for the clear (if unstated) purpose of trying him before the November election.”

                Smith should be censured for violating the Justice Department’s manual, she argues, citing a section that says attorneys may “never select the timing of any action…for the purpose of affecting any election.”

                “Smith’s conduct has brought disrepute to the Department of Justice and the entire federal government, and the DOJ’s Office of Professional Responsibility should impose the discipline that such conduct warrants,” Stefanik said in her statement.

                The complaint is unlikely to prompt any action from the Justice Department, however, as Smith’s case kicked off with an August 2023 indictment, some 15 months ahead of the presidential election.

                Though an unwritten policy, the Justice Department encourages prosecutors to follow the “60-day rule” — avoiding any action that might influence an election.

                In November, Stefanik filed an ethics complaint against Judge Arthur Engoron, who oversaw the former president’s civil fraud trial, accusing him of “inappropriate bias and judicial intemperance.”
