    Dem Congressman Declares ‘All Crashes Are Trump’s Fault’ In Hateful Rant

      Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) is facing fierce backlash online after suggesting President Donald Trump is to blame for a small plane crash in Georgia last weekend.

      Swalwell took to social media to declare that Trump has had “more planes crash” in his first month in office than any other U.S. president. He then doubled down on the comment with a blunt statement to Fox News Digital.

      “Trump is President. President Trump is in charge of air safety. All crashes are Trump’s fault,” he said.

      The lawmaker made his initial comment in reaction to a small private plane crash that took place this weekend in Covington, Georgia, which left two people dead.

      Social media users began to pile on immediately, calling out Swalwell for what they saw as an unfair connection to Trump.

      “Are you suggesting the catalysts for those crashes were all caused by policies changed in the last month?” one user wrote.

      “You really do have TDS. Grab some coffee and take a walk,” wrote another user who goes by the name of SouthernRepublicanMomma.

      Georgia’s crash saw a single-engine airplane take off from the Covington Municipal Airport at 11 p.m. on Saturday. Ground control lost communication with the plane roughly 20 minutes later, at which point police officers located the plane crashed near the runway.

      The plane’s two occupants were immediately announced dead at the scene.

      “On February 15, 2025, the Covington Police Department officers responded to the Covington Municipal Airport at approximately 11:21 p.m. after receiving a call from the FAA in reference to a single-engine aircraft that had taken off at approximately 11:00 p.m. There was no further communication from the aircraft after takeoff,” the Covington Police Department said in a statement.

      White House communications director Steven Cheung tore apart Swalwell in a statement reacting to his claim.

      “Swalwell must be taking his orders from Fang Fang or suffering from a severe debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome because there is no other reason anyone with a functioning brain would make that that type of false and disgusting claim. He is a complete disgrace not only as an elected official, but as a human being who has continued to beclown himself,” Cheung said.

      The incident comes in the wake of multiple other plane crashes in recent weeks, the most dramatic being the collision of a helicopter and a commercial airliner in the skies over Washington, D.C. last month.

      DeSantis Shares Ideas for Military, Student Loans During Iowa Campaign Stops

        Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is shedding more light on his policy ideas as he makes campaign stops in Iowa.

        On Wednesday, the White House hopeful announced his plans to address the country’s massive student debt- which currently stands at a whopping $1.6 trillion according to CNN and his plan to boost military morale.

        While speaking in Salix, Iowa, DeSantis declared that universities should have to pick up the tab if a former student can’t pay back their loans.

        “If somebody defaults, the university should pick it up,” he said. “If they were on the hook for it, they would make sure the curriculum was designed to produce people that can be very productive. You’d have a heck of a lot less gender studies going on.”

        DeSantis added that “we do believe in universities, but they got to be done in a good way,” meaning “rooted in the traditional mission of the university classical education.”

        During another stop in Council Bluffs, the Florida Governor said that if elected he would offer back pay to veterans who reenlist after leaving the military due to Covid-19 vaccine requirements.

        Later in the day, while touting his time in the US Navy as a JAG officer, DeSantis argued the US military is “indulging woke ideology” that negatively impacts recruitment.

        “They’ve driven off some of our greatest warriors not just through that culture, but also through dumb policies like forcing m-RNA Covid shots on our service members,” DeSantis said.

        “Why would you want to drive them off by doing things like forcing them to take a shot that they don’t want and sure enough, many people left,” DeSantis said at the second of four stops across Iowa. “As president, we will restore everybody back who wants to come back and we will give them back pay as a result.”

        In January, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin rescinded the military’s Covid-19 vaccination mandate for troops after the shot was made mandatory in 2021.

        Tucker, Elon Real Winners Of First GOP Debate Night

        The true winners of last night’s debate are former prime-time Fox News host Tucker Carlson and Elon Musk, owner of X – formerly Twitter. If you’ve spent the last 24-48 hours under a rock – here’s what transpired last night. Eight Republican candidates running to be the next President of the United States took the stage in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to talk about their visions for the future of America – and how they are the proper alternatives not only to the babbling buffoon currently in the White House Joe Biden, but also to America’s 45th President Donald Trump – now running for the office for a third time. The Wisconsin event was moderated, albeit poorly, by Fox News anchors Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. Of course, the debate in itself was probably somewhat staged. According to multiple reports, the candidates and their prep camps were given the questions in advance. While the debate was going on in Milwaukee, Tucker Carlson aired an opposing pre-recorded interview with America’s 45th President Donald Trump, who himself is set to be arraigned in a Fulton County, Georgia court on Thursday where he is expected to front up a bail payment of $200,000. (RELATED: Trump Agrees To Release Conditions, Including $200,000 Bond) Tucker Carlson has enacted fully-fledged revenge on his former employer and put millions of dollars in the pockets of a new corporate overlord, Elon Musk. X, formerly Twitter, has been working to position itself as the preeminent alternative to the mainstream media since the Musk buyout earlier this year. By the view numbers still rolling in on the video posted last night, they seem to have succeeded in doing that to a level even Musk himself may have never imagined. As of the writing of this piece, Tucker’s 46-minute long X video has been viewed over 186.4 million times. Mediaite noted the following in a piece published yesterday:
        “The interview, which was taped this week and is dropping to coincide with the debate, is intended as additional salt in the wound for Fox executives wary that a Trump-less event will not bring in the major ratings typically expected from these kinds of nights.”
        Notably, video-sharing platform Rumble which was the the first place to try and pitch itself as the free speech alternative to YouTube partnered with the RNC and probably boosted their own profits last night as well. The Rumble stream of the debate from the GOP’s channel has amassed 1.54 million views. Definitely a respectable number, but making up less than 1% of the views amassed by Carlson on X. For the record the Rumble stream via Roku is how I personally watched the debate, refusing to give my dollars to the Fox News machine. Fox News has yet to officially release numbers on last night’s debate but here are some viewership numbers reported by Mediaite from past presidential debates:
        “In 2015, Fox’s primary debate – with Trump and nine other candidates – drew 24 million viewers, smashing previous records and earning the distinction of being one of the most-watched cable programs ever. Overall, 2016 was a blockbuster year for debate ratings: the 12 Republican primary events averaged 15 million viewers.”
        Even if Fox’s numbers last night were close to their past viewership – which they are not expected to be without Trump – Carlson’s X video dwarfed those numbers as well.

        Trump Campaign Breaks New Record After Famed Mugshot Release

        Former President Donald Trump’s presidential campaign has raised a record-breaking $7.1 million in fundraising after surrendering to the Fulton County Jail late Thursday.

        Trump became the first president in U.S. history to have a mug shot taken after being processed at the jail in Atlanta, Georgia.

        $4.18 million was raised on Friday alone, making it the most his campaign has ever made in a single day, according to Politico.  The campaign immediately began profiting off of merchandise and items of the mug shot and the tagline “NEVER SURRENDER.” The items include shirts, bumper stickers, posters and beverage coolers.

        Politico reported that the campaign has brought in $20 million in the last three weeks as Trump got hit with a third indictment overseen by Department of Justice (DOJ) Special Counsel Jack Smith over his alleged attempt to overturn the election on January 6, 2021.

        DOJ Authorizes Grand Jury Investigation Into Obama-Era Russia Probe Origins

        Attorney General Pam Bondi has directed her subordinates to convene a grand jury to investigate whether officials from former President Barack Obama’s administration politicized intelligence to falsely link Donald Trump to Russia during the 2016 election. The inquiry stems from a criminal referral submitted by Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard, who accused senior Obama officials of manipulating national security assessments.

        Bondi has formed a special strike force to scrutinize Gabbard’s claims, which allege a coordinated effort — rooted in the Crossfire Hurricane probe — to leverage intelligence as political ammunition. The investigation is reportedly examining figures including former CIA Director John Brennan, former DNI James Clapper, and former FBI Director James Comey.

        Gabbard declassified documents she says provide direct evidence of a “treasonous conspiracy” to frame Trump — a claim that contradicts past bipartisan reviews affirming Russia attempted to meddle in the election, but did not change the vote count.

        A former senior Justice Department official torched the move as a “dangerous political stunt.”

        Another former national security official pointed out that multiple investigations — including Republican-led ones — had already found no criminal misconduct tied to the origins of the Russia probe.

        “There’s no logical, rational basis for this,” the official said, speaking anonymously.

        Meanwhile, a senior Trump administration official confirmed there’s no timeline yet for the grand jury to convene — warning it could be months before proceedings formally begin.

        Fox News was the first to report on Bondi’s letter to prosecutors:

        Bondi personally ordered an unnamed federal prosecutor to initiate legal proceedings and the prosecutor is expected to present department evidence to a grand jury, which would allow the department to secure a potential indictment, according to a letter from Bondi reviewed by Fox News Digital and a source familiar with the investigation.

        United States Department of Justice, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons

        A DOJ spokesperson declined to comment on the report of an investigation but said Bondi is taking the referral from Gabbard “very seriously.” The spokesperson said Bondi believed there is “clear cause for deep concern” and a need for next steps.

        The DOJ confirmed two weeks ago it received a criminal referral from Gabbard. The referral included a memorandum titled “Intelligence Community suppression of intelligence showing ‘Russian and criminal actors did not impact’ the 2016 presidential election via cyber-attacks on infrastructure” and asked that the DOJ open an investigation.

        No charges have been brought at this stage of the investigation against any potential defendants.

        While Obama himself enjoys presidential immunity for official acts, DOJ may focus on lower-level officials or alleged false statements to Congress — though statute of limitations could limit prosecution.

        Bondi hasn’t ruled out criminal charges if sufficient evidence emerges. For now, the scope of the investigation remains opaque.

        What to Watch Next

        • Will the grand jury lead to indictments — or stall amid immunity and timing issues?
        • How will critics respond to Bondi’s motives and whether the allegations are partisan?
        • Might a high-profile hearing or public release of documents emerge if lawmakers press for oversight?
        • Will emerging revelations around intelligence protocols impact ongoing or future probes?

        Bottom Line

        With grand jury proceedings officially underway, the DOJ marks a major escalation in the political and legal repercussions of the Russiagate era. Whether this yields accountability or deepens partisan divide depends largely on what evidence is presented — and whether immunity, timing, or lack of new corroboration stymies action.

        Appeals Panel Affirms Former Trump Lawyer’s Disbarment Over 2020 Election Efforts

          California appellate disciplinary panel upheld the recommendation to disbar constitutional law scholar and former Trump legal adviser John Eastman. The panel’s decision follows an earlier March 2024 ruling by Judge Yvette Roland of the State Bar Court, which found Eastman culpable of misconduct related to his legal strategies in the aftermath of the 2020 election.

          Eastman, a longtime legal academic and former dean of Chapman University Law School, has been a prominent figure in election-related litigation. At the heart of the case was Eastman’s advocacy for then-President Donald Trump, particularly his role in questioning the certification of electoral votes and exploring constitutional mechanisms related to vice-presidential authority during the joint session of Congress on January 6, 2021.

          The Review Department, which affirmed Roland’s ruling, concluded Eastman committed “multiple acts of moral turpitude” by making what it called “false and misleading statements” in legal filings. It alleged he advanced “frivolous” claims of voter fraud and helped develop a plan to urge Vice President Mike Pence to delay or refuse the certification of electoral results.

          “Eastman’s actions undermined democracy itself,” the panel wrote in a sweeping conclusion.

          Unless overturned by the California Supreme Court, the ruling effectively disbars Eastman — suspending his law license and disqualifying him from practicing in the state.

          Read the court’s opinion via Law & Crime

          Eastman and his legal team have vigorously defended his actions as protected legal advocacy and free speech. During the proceedings, Eastman stated:

          “To accuse me of making false statements runs afoul of my First Amendment right to raise questions.”

          His attorneys argued that Eastman was performing his professional duty — raising constitutional questions and advocating for his client — not misleading courts or the public. However, the appellate panel rejected this argument, claiming he had gone beyond legal theorizing into knowingly advancing false claims.

          Eastman’s legal team has vowed to appeal to the California Supreme Court, which has the authority to accept or reject the disbarment recommendation. If the ruling is upheld, Eastman will be permanently disbarred in California.

          Report: Bondi Accused Of ‘Serious Professional Misconduct’

          Attorney General Pam Bondi is accused of “serious professional misconduct” in a Florida Bar complaint.

          According to a report from The Miami Herald, in the complaint the group alleges Bondi has breached ethical duties in her current role and that “serious professional misconduct that threatens the rule of law and the administration of justice” has been carried out by the attorney general, the Herald reported.

          Bondi is from Florida and previously served as the Sunshine State’s first female attorney general. A “Pamela Jo Bondi” is listed as a member of the Florida Bar “in Good Standing.”

          A few months ago, Democrats pressed Bondi amid her confirmation hearing over her ability to push back against Trump, who had repeatedly stated he would come for his enemies and that he has the “absolute right” to do what he wants with her department.

          Bondi is also stated in the complaint to have “sought to compel Department of Justice lawyers to violate their ethical obligations under the guise of ‘zealous advocacy,’” according to the Herald.

          In a statement, Justice Department chief of staff Chad Mizelle told the Herald that “the Florida Bar has twice rejected performative attempts by these out-of-state lawyers to weaponize the bar complaint process against AG Bondi.”

          Bondi has faced an onslaught of criticism from Democrat lawmakers and progressive groups since being confirmed as the Trump administration’s Attorney General.

          Last month, the Justice Department pointed out the leftist bias of the American Bar Association (ABA) and ordered that it will bo longer have access to non-public information, including bar records.

          The ABA uses a ratings process in which their Standing Committee rates each nominee “Well Qualified,” “Qualified” or “Not Qualified.” “Unanimous committee ratings appear as a single rating. In other situations, the rating from the majority or substantial majority (2/3 or more of those voting) of the Committee is recorded first, followed by the rating or ratings of a minority of the Committee. The majority rating is the rating of the committee,” the ABA notes on its website.

          The Daily Wire continues:

          “The ABA has a history of taking liberal positions on issues including abortion, the death penalty, same-sex marriage, affirmative action, and the Second Amendment,” National Review stated in 2019. “The organization’s ideological bias has long tainted its ratings of judicial nominees. An entire book on the subject was written as early as 1965, Joel B. Grossman’s Lawyers and Judges: The ABA and the Politics of Judicial Selection.”

          Of the 15 members on the ABA’s Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary in 2019, five donated to Barack Obama’s campaign, three to that of Hillary Clinton, and none to the three Republican nominees between 2008-2016. Incredibly, the ABA gave a minority “Not Qualified” rating to iconic Judge Robert Bork and other conservative legal scholars, including Richard A. Posner, Edith H. Jones, and William H. Pryor, among others.

          “For several decades, the American Bar Association has received special treatment and enjoyed special access to judicial nominees,” Bondi wrote in a letter to ABA President William Bay. “In some administrations, the ABA received notice of nominees before a nomination was announced to the public. Some administrations would even decide whether to nominate an individual based on a rating assigned by the ABA.”

          Former Fox News Host Calls Tucker’s Ouster ‘Suicide’ for Network

          Former Fox News host Glenn Beck slammed the network over its shocking decision to part ways with primetime pundit Tucker Carlson.

          On Monday, the network announced Carlson’s departure from the network, sharing that his final program was aired last Friday. The timing of the Fox News icon’s sudden departure comes nearly one week after the network agreed to pay a nearly $800 million settlement to Dominion Voting Systems. (RELATED: Fox News Reaches Last-Minute Settlement With Dominion Voting Systems)

          The network did not provide further comment on the host’s departure beyond a statement thanking him for his contributions to the network.

          Beck criticized the network over the controversial announcement, saying the move was effectively “suicide” for the network.

          “Tucker Carlson is out at Fox News. Now, I don’t know what that means. You know, we’re in wild speculation territory,” Beck said on his BlazeTV program, noting the timing following Fox’s nearly $800 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems last week.

          “You know, could be that he was fired because of, you know, they just paid out, you know, almost a billion dollars and they don’t want any chance of anything, but that’s suicidal. To me, this is a suicidal move for Fox,” he said. “If it’s their move.”

          Before the launch of “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Carlson was co-host of “FOX & Friends Weekend” from 2012 through 2016. 

          Carlson previously served as an MSNBC host from 2005-2008 and also appeared on CNN earlier in his career. He founded The Daily Caller in 2010 but sold his stake in the political news website in 2020. 

          Beck left his gig hosting a Fox show in 2011. He recently appeared on Carlson’s program to discuss former President Trump’s surrender to authorities in New York after an indictment by a grand jury. (RELATED: Trump Indictment Unsealed)

          A number of conservative commentators have criticized the news of Carlson’s sudden ouster.

          Donald Trump also noted his surprise by the sudden change at Fox News

          “Well, I’m shocked. I’m surprised” Trump told Newsmax’s Greg Kelly. “He’s a very good person and a very good man, and very talented as you know. And he had very high ratings. So, we’re just learning about it almost as we speak. You and I just said, “Wow, that was something, that’s a big one.” I don’t know if it was voluntary, or was it, somebody fired? But I think Tucker’s been terrific. He’s been – especially over the last year or so – he’s been terrific to me.”

          McConnell Breaks From Trump On ‘Vilifying’ Biden

          Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) notably diverged from former President Donald Trump’s harsh rhetoric toward President Joe Biden on Tuesday, calling the incumbent commander-in-chief a “good guy.”

          The Kentucky Republican’s remarks stand in contrast to Trump’s persistent portrayal of Biden as a corrupt figure intent on manipulating elections and targeting political adversaries.

          “I know Joe Biden pretty well. He’s a good guy; I like him personally,” McConnell shared with an audience in Louisville on Tuesday.

          Despite stylistic differences with Trump, McConnell maintains there are significant policy-driven arguments for opposing Biden. Other Republicans are encouraging Trump to focus on Biden’s job performance rather than personal attacks tonight.

          Moreover, McConnell remains critical of Biden’s policies. “I never thought he was moderate in the Senate, but he ran as a moderate,” he stated. “But as soon as the president got elected, he pretty much signed up with the far left of the Democratic Party, which has created another set of problems for all of you who are in business. This has been a regulatory nightmare by this administration.”

          A Tactical Endorsement

          On March 6, 2024, McConnell endorsed Trump for the upcoming presidential race. This endorsement followed Trump’s decisive victories on Super Tuesday, which solidified his position as the GOP front-runner. McConnell acknowledged the substantial support Trump had garnered from Republican voters, expressing his backing for Trump’s nomination in a strategic move to unite the party.

          The Path Forward?

          As the debate rapidly approaches, McConnell’s tempered tone towards Biden could offer Trump a blueprint for a more policy-focused campaign. By addressing Biden’s track record and regulatory policies, Trump might find a path to appeal to undecided voters and moderate Republicans, who McConnell seemed to be addressing.

          ‘Trump! Trump! Trump!’ New York Attorney General Gets Booed During Ceremony

            That’s embarrassing…

            New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) did not receive the warmest of welcomes from firefighters during a recent ceremony…

            In videos circulating online, booing erupted as James walked up to the podium to honor the swearing-in of the first African-American woman chaplain of the FDNY, the Rev. Pamela Holmes as well as other first responders. 

            “Oh c’mon, we’re in a house of God. Simmer down,” James told the rowdy crowd. “Thank you for getting it out of your system.” 

            Despite the crowd’s jeers, James pressed away with her remarks, paying homage to first responders, but some in the crowd continued booing. 

            Then the crowd began to repeatedly chant, “Trump!” Later in her speech, James said she prayed even for those firefighters in the audience booing her. 

            According to Fox News, Chief of Department John Hodgens later harshly criticized the behavior of the firefighters. 

            “Today’s ceremony was about one thing: the accomplishments of the members being promoted,” he said. “The members whose behavior distracted from that celebration were an embarrassment and not befitting of the world’s best fire department.” 

            New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) sued Trump in 2022, alleging he falsely altered his net worth on key financial statements to receive tax and insurance benefits. The documents, which detailed the value of the Trump Organization’s various assets, were sent to banks and insurers to secure loans and deals, which the state purports is evidence of fraud.  

            The former president faces more than 90 criminal charges in four prosecutions.
