    Dem Senator Left ‘Baffled’ By Lack of Support for Trump’s Iran Strikes and Death of ‘Evil’ Leaders

    Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) is expressing disbelief at fellow Democrats who have criticized President Donald Trump’s military strikes against Iran, calling the action a decisive moment for regional peace and security.

    Fetterman questioned members of his own party who voiced opposition to the strikes, arguing that preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon has long been a bipartisan priority.

    “Every single member of the Senate has agreed that we can never allow Iran to acquire a nuclear bomb, and clearly they [Iran] were actually intending to do that. So, are you really committed to that?” Fetterman asked Monday on Hannity.

    U.S. and Israeli forces launched coordinated strikes on Iranian military and government targets on Feb. 28, deploying air, sea and missile power in what officials described as a sweeping operation. The mission, dubbed Operation Epic Fury, struck more than 1,000 military, intelligence and government sites across Iran within its first 24 hours, according to U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM). Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and dozens of senior regime officials were eliminated in the strikes.

    Fetterman said he was “baffled” that more people were not celebrating the death of what he described as “one of the most evil men ever” and the crippling of the Iranian regime.

    “It’s a good thing for the region, it’s a good thing for Israel, it’s good for America, and so, for me, that’s why I stand with the country over perhaps what the base may demand,” Fetterman said.

    Watch:

    He also defended the legality and strategic rationale behind the operation, pushing back on critics who questioned whether the president overstepped his authority.

    “Imagine if people just listened to the conventional wisdom, that they could have possibly have acquired a bomb if we weren’t bombed back in June. So, yes, there is a threat. It’s not imminent that it could happen right now. But it’s one that I think is entirely appropriate to deal with it,” Fetterman told CNN host Dana Bash. “And that’s why I support it. So, again, people keep— describe that it was a legal war. Now read the War Powers Act. And, now, that has not been violated at this point what happened yesterday.”

    The War Powers Act requires the president to notify Congress within 48 hours of committing U.S. military forces. The Trump administration notified the “Gang of Eight” — the bipartisan group of top congressional leaders and intelligence committee chairs — before the strikes but did not seek formal authorization.

    Fetterman noted that Trump had previously attempted diplomacy before resorting to military action.

    “Well, what is true is that President Trump tried to negotiate that and tried to find a firm kinds [sic] of agreements, absolutely. And they refused to those basic, basic kinds of things: remind everybody, you are never allowed to acquire nuclear weapons. And, clearly, they was [sic]. And I absolutely supported what happened last June,” Fetterman continued.

    Fetterman is one of the few Democrats who backed Operation Midnight Hammer, the June 2025 U.S. strike on Iranian nuclear facilities ordered by President Trump. While most of the Democratic caucus condemned that action, Fetterman later voted as the lone Democratic senator against a war powers resolution seeking to curb the president’s authority following the operation.

    Matt Gaetz To Launch Show On One America News Next Year

    Former Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz (R) is set to debut his own program, The Matt Gaetz Show, on One America News (OAN) starting January 2025 and airing weeknights at 9 p.m.

    The announcement follows Gaetz’s decision earlier this year to step away from Congress, a choice he explained during a recent appearance on The Charlie Kirk Show. Gaetz, who served in the House of Representatives since winning his first election in 2016, stated, “I think that eight years is probably enough time in the United States Congress,” underscoring his desire to prioritize his family and his role in supporting President-elect Donald Trump’s administration.

    Tuesday’s development marks a significant career shift for Gaetz, who had previously been considered for attorney general in the incoming Trump administration. That opportunity, however, did not materialize, prompting speculation about whether he might return to Capitol Hill. Gaetz put such rumors to rest last month when he reaffirmed his intention to focus on media opportunities and other ways to assist the Trump White House outside of Congress.

    Gaetz’s new show is expected to cover a range of conservative topics, including policy discussions and commentary on the Trump administration’s agenda.

    Politico has additional details:

    It is yet another high-profile, public platform for Gaetz, a firebrand Republican who made no shortage of enemies in the House before President-elect Donald Trump announced plans to nominate him to be attorney general. Gaetz immediately resigned from the House after Trump’s announcement, a move that also came just before the House Ethics Committee planned to meet regarding a probe into allegations against him regarding illegal drug use and sex with a 17-year-old.

    Gaetz has consistently denied the allegations and a Department of Justice investigation into him resulted in no charges. But the accusations quickly dogged his confirmation process, prompting him to drop out of consideration one week after Trump first announced plans to nominate him. The early withdrawal precluded what would have been a deeply personal and brutal confirmation hearing.

    At OAN, Gaetz will also co-host a video podcast with Dan Ball, host of “Real America with Dan Ball,” that the network said would feature “unfiltered conversations” for Gen Z, Millennials and early Gen Xers.

    Gaetz praised the network in a statement for embracing platforms like streaming, apps, podcasts and social media, which he called places “where Americans are going.” Trump during his 2024 run similarly embraced alternative media sources to reach voters.

    Known for its strong conservative viewpoints, OAN has been steadily expanding its roster of opinion-driven programming, and Gaetz’s high-profile presence is likely to attract loyal viewers from his political base and other cable news networks.

      Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw shared some big news over the weekend.

      The Texas Republican announced Sunday that he and wife Tara Crenshaw are expecting a daughter.

      The baby news came as the 39-year-old lawmaker shared a Mother’s Day message on Instagram, saying that the holiday has always been “a bit difficult” for him after losing his own mom when he was a child.

      “Susan Crenshaw was 40 years old when she lost her battle to breast cancer,” Crenshaw said.

      “But this year is the first Mother’s Day that hits a little different,” Crenshaw said, revealing that he and his spouse, who tied the knot in 2013, can celebrate “bringing another generation into this world.”

      “Little Suzy Crenshaw is coming soon!” the congressman said.

      Republican Group Planning $50M Campaign To Stop Trump Re-election

      A coalition of anti-Trump Republicans are willing to do whatever it takes to prevent a second Trump term in the White House.

      Republican Voters Against Trump plans to spend $50 million on the anti-Trump campaign.

      The campaign is organized by Sarah Longwell, a Republican strategist and longtime Trump critic. The plan is to target “moderate Republican” and Republican-leaning voters in swing states with testimonial videos of past Trump supporters who will share why they won’t be supporting the former president in the next election.

      According to The Hill, the ads featuring the former Trump voter testimonials will be deployed on TV, streaming platforms, billboards, radio and digital media. They will run in the battleground states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. 

      “Former Republicans and Republican-leaning voters hold the key to 2024, and reaching them with credible, relatable messengers is essential to re-creating the anti-Trump coalition that made the difference in 2020,” Longwell, the president of the group’s Republican Accountability PAC, said in a Tuesday statement.

      “It establishes a permission structure that says that—whatever their complaints about Joe Biden—Donald Trump is too dangerous and too unhinged to ever be president again. Who better to make this case than the voters who used to support him?”

      The voters who are sharing their testimonies are generally not applauding Biden or arguing why he should be reelected in 2024, but mostly sharing which incidents made them oppose the former president. 

      “I voted for Donald Trump in 2020. January 6 was the end of Donald Trump for me,” Ethan, a Wisconsin resident, says in the video. He will be voting for Biden. “The peaceful transfer of power is one of the defining pieces of our democracy, and I could not believe that someone I had formerly supported would get behind an effort that would throw that under the bus … There is no choice.”

       The group had a similar strategy in 2020 where they shared over 1,000 testimonials during the election.

      Republicans Uncover Epstein’s Coordination With Reporters To Smear Trump

      Just hours after the White House publicly accused congressional Democrats of selectively leaking emails related to Jeffrey Epstein on Wednesday, Republicans on the House Oversight Committee released tens of thousands of additional pages of documents. These include email exchanges between Epstein and prominent journalists.

      A significant portion of the new material shows correspondence between Epstein and writer-turned-biographer Michael Wolff. Wolff reached out to Epstein multiple times, discussing not only Epstein’s public image but how to leverage criticism of Donald Trump for strategic benefit.

      In February 2016, Wolff wrote to Epstein:

      “NYT called me about you and Trump,”
      “Also, Hillary campaign digging deeply. Again, you should consider preempting.”

      A month later they discussed plans ahead of the release of Filthy Rich — a true-crime book by James Patterson about Epstein, who was Patterson’s neighbor in Palm Beach. Wolff suggested to Epstein:

      “Becoming an anti-Trump voice gives you a certain political cover which you decidedly don’t have now.”
      And he added:
      “Patterson can be counted on to produce a bestseller, and while he isn’t regarded as a serious writer, he’ll surely be unloading a lot of tabloid copy … Because this will be tied to the election, the Trump-Clinton angle will amp up the attention 10-fold, in fact, possibly, a hundred fold. Possibly more than anything you’ve encountered before.”

      When Epstein asked Wolff what he should say publicly about his relationship with Trump, Wolff’s advice was pointed:

      “If he says he hasn’t been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable PR and political currency,”
      “You can hang him in a way that potentially generates a positive benefit for you, or, if it really looks like he could win, you could save him, generating a debt. Of course, it is possible that, when asked, he’ll say Jeffrey is a great guy and has gotten a raw deal and is a victim of political correctness, which is to be outlawed in a Trump regime.”

      In further correspondence, Wolff requested introductions for Epstein to two figures close to Trump: business leader and inaugural-committee chair Tom Barrack and former federal prosecutor Kathy Ruemmler. He told Epstein he sought “an off-the-record perspective on White House procedures,” while researching his book about Trump’s first 100 days in office. He also asked whether former President Bill Clinton would confirm he had never been to Epstein’s private U.S. Virgin Islands island, Little St. John — a place Clinton has publicly denied visiting. Epstein’s longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell has also denied seeing Clinton there.

      The documents show that Epstein and Wolff planned to meet as recently as May 2019 — months before Epstein died in a federal jail cell while awaiting trial.

      Read some of the emails below:

      michael-wolff-jeffery-epstein-emails-004Download

      Some of the newly released material included a short video of a dog and what appear to be chew toys modeled after Trump and the 2016 presidential rival Hillary Clinton. Others appear to be slides from an adviser working to generate positive search-engine results for Epstein following his 2008 conviction for child-sex crimes.

      Earlier, Democrats had released documents that included an especially cryptic email from Epstein to Maxwell — one that mentions Trump by name, and refers to an unnamed victim of Epstein’s trafficking network. The email read:

      “I want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is Trump,” Epstein wrote on April 2, 2011.
      “[VICTIM] spent hours at my house with him…he has never once been mentioned. Police chief. etc. I’m 75% there.”

      Officials later identified the “unnamed victim” as well-known Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre, who died by suicide earlier this year. Giuffre repeatedly stated that Trump was not involved in wrongdoing and “couldn’t have been friendlier” to her in their limited interactions. The White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, responded:

      “The fact remains that President Trump kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of his club decades ago for being a creep to his female employees, including Giuffre.”

      In his own post on Truth Social, Trump weighed in:

      “The Democrats cost our Country $1.5 Trillion Dollars with their recent antics of viciously closing our Country, while at the same time putting many at risk — and they should pay a fair price,” he wrote.
      “There should be no deflections to Epstein or anything else, and any Republicans involved should be focused only on opening up our Country, and fixing the massive damage caused by the Democrats!”

      As a reminder: Epstein secured a highly-controversial so-called “sweetheart” deal in 2008 for child-sex crimes. He was arrested again in 2019 on more serious trafficking charges — but died before the case went to trial. Maxwell was convicted of grooming and procuring girls and young women for Epstein; she is appealing and continues to assert her innocence.

      Key Takeaways for a Republican Audience

      • The timing of the document releases and allegations of selective leaking by Democrats raises questions about political motive and media stratagem.
      • The correspondence shows efforts to frame Epstein’s narrative around Trump — part of a broader attempt to tie the story to the 2016 presidential election and cast Trump in a negative light.
      • Trump’s defenders argue the documents reinforce his long-standing disassociation from Epstein, as well as serve to remind voters of Democrats’ role in political maneuvering, rather than holding criminals accountable.
      • For Republicans focused on institutional integrity and media accountability, the episode reinforces concerns about selective exposure of documents, agenda-driven leaks, and manipulation of public perception.

      Trump Risks Violating Court Order By Sharing Media Clip

        Donald Trump might regret this…

        On Wednesday, Trump seemed to violate the gag order imposed by Judge Juan Merchan in the ongoing hush money trial.

        On Wednesday, Trump took to Truth Social and quoted comments made about potential jurors by Fox News host Jesse Watters on The Five Wednesday night.

        “They are catching undercover Liberal Activists lying to the Judge in order to get on the Trump Jury,” Trump wrote, quoting the Fox host.

        That post appears to be in direct violation of Merchan’s gag order, a reality highlighted by JustSecurity’s Ryan Goodman, who shared screen grabs of both the Truth Social post and a section from the gag order, writing:

        On the left:

        NY judge’s gag order prohibiting Trump from “making … public statements about any prospective juror or any juror in this criminal proceeding.”

        On the right:

        Trump making public statement about prospective jurors in this criminal proceedings.

        The gag order section reads, in part, “Making or directing others to make public statements about any prospective juror or any juror in this criminal proceeding.”

        CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin was asked by Anderson Cooper Wednesday night if this sort of social media post was permissible under the gag order. Toobin argued that it was an apparent attempt to intimidate jurors, which is “clearly barred.”

        Toobin said:

        I don’t think so. I think it’s false, but more importantly, it’s clearly – I think – an attempt to intimidate jurors and it is clearly barred by the gag order in this case. I mean, Donald Trump doesn’t seem to realize he is now a criminal defendant, and criminal defendants have different and lesser rights than ordinary citizens. They are not allowed to interfere in the trial process – especially when there is a gag order that specifically addresses attempts to intimidate jurors. I mean, it is just not permissible.

        Is Trump Related To Royalty? New Report Uncovers Genetic Link To King Charles III

          Just when President Donald Trump rolled out the red carpet for King Charles III, a bombshell claim dropped: the two leaders may actually be family.

          According to new research highlighted by the Daily Mail, Trump and the British monarch share a distant bloodline — tracing back centuries to a Scottish nobleman, the 3rd Earl of Lennox. The finding makes the U.S. president and the king “15th cousins,” a revelation that adds an unexpected twist to the royals’ high-profile visit to Washington.

          The timing couldn’t be more striking.

          Charles and Queen Camilla are in the U.S. for a four-day state visit, as tensions simmer across the Atlantic over foreign policy disagreements — including the ongoing Iran conflict and clashes between Trump and U.K. leadership. Now, a shared ancestry is suddenly part of the story.

          Royal author Robert Hardman, who uncovered the connection, says the president’s admiration for the king could run even deeper than previously thought.

          “We know that the avowedly royalist President Trump already regards the King as ‘a great guy’ and ‘a fighter’ – he told me so himself recently – but his affection for the monarch and the Royal Family may now become even more pronounced when he learns that he and the King share descent from the same Scottish nobleman,” Hardman wrote.

          The research traces both men back to the 3rd Earl of Lennox — a great-grandson of King James II of Scotland — linking Trump and Charles through a sprawling, centuries-old family tree.

          “Detailed research on behalf of the Daily Mail has shown they have a common ancestor in the form of the 3rd Earl of Lennox… which means that Donald Trump and Charles III are 15th cousins,” Hardman added. “Their shared forebear met an unfortunate end, however.”

          And that’s putting it mildly.

          Lennox’s story reads like a medieval thriller. He was caught up in a brutal power struggle over control of a young Scottish king and ultimately met a violent fate after being captured by a rival known as the “Bastard of Arran.”

          Despite his grim end, Lennox’s bloodline endured — splitting into branches that would eventually connect both to the British royal family and, generations later, to Trump’s own lineage.

          On one side, Lennox’s descendants would lead to Lord Darnley and Mary, Queen of Scots, eventually producing King James I — a key figure in the royal line that leads to today’s House of Windsor.

          On the other, the lineage runs through Scottish clans before reaching Mary Anne MacLeod, Trump’s mother, who emigrated to the United States in 1930 and married Fred Trump — setting the stage for the future president.

          The result? A centuries-spanning connection that ties a New York real estate dynasty to British royalty.

          Whether the discovery changes anything politically is another question. But symbolically — especially as Trump hosts Charles at the White House — it adds a layer of intrigue to an already historic visit.

          FROM THE DESK OF DONALD TRUMP JR. Democrats tried to rig the census by counting millions of illegal immigrants — giving blue states more power in Congress. Now we’re making sure only American citizens are counted. But first, we need to verify our own records. CONFIRM YOUR VOTER INFORMATION NOW.

          GOP Watches Closely As MTG’s Former District Shows Signs Of Trouble

          A razor-thin House majority raises the stakes…

          Republicans are reportedly growing uneasy in Georgia’s 14th Congressional District, where a chaotic special election to replace former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has created an unexpected opening for Democrats in what has long been considered safe GOP territory.

          The anxiety comes as Republicans hold the U.S. House by just one vote, following the swearing-in of Democrat Christian Menefee earlier this week after his special election win in Texas. With margins this tight, even unlikely threats are being taken seriously. (RELATED: Another House Republican Exits As Loudermilk Declines Reelection Bid)

          A Chaotic Special Election With No Primary

          The March 10 special election features 21 candidates — including 16 Republicans, three Democrats, an independent, and a Libertarian — with no party primary to narrow the field. Because no candidate is expected to secure a majority, the race is widely expected to advance to an April 7 runoff between the top two finishers.

          Why Republicans Are Worried

          With GOP voters splintered among so many candidates, party activists fear Democrats could consolidate their vote and slip into a runoff slot — or, in a nightmare scenario, win outright.

          That would be a political shock in a district Donald Trump carried by a wide margin and where Greene previously won about 63% of the vote. (RELATED: Utah Republicans Sue To Block New House Districts)

          Democrats Rally Around a Single Candidate

          Democrats are coalescing behind retired Army Brig. Gen. Shawn Harris, who has mounted a visible campaign complete with a staffed local headquarters and an experienced political operation. His messaging has focused on affordability and health care costs, aimed at peeling off moderates and independents.

          Trump Moves to Stabilize the Race

          The contest shifted Wednesday night when President Donald Trump issued a “Complete and Total Endorsement” of Republican Clay Fuller, a move widely viewed as an effort to consolidate MAGA voters and narrow the GOP field.

          “Clay Fuller has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be the next Representative from Georgia’s 14th Congressional District – HE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

          A Safe Seat — But Not a Comfortable One

          Republican strategists say Trump’s endorsement should help restore order, but some privately warn that the unusual election format, combined with voter fatigue and GOP infighting, has made the race more fragile than expected.

          Most observers still view a Democratic upset as unlikely — but even a forced runoff would drain resources and attention as a challenging midterm cycle heats up.

          MTG’s Eyes Next Steps

          While Greene has framed her resignation from Congress as a rejection of Washington politics, speculation has continued to swirl within conservative circles that she may be positioning herself for a future national run. Allies and critics alike have noted that her recent media appearances, broader ideological critiques, and willingness to challenge Trump directly resemble the early stages of a potential presidential or third-party campaign.

          Greene has not formally announced any plans to run for president, but she has also declined to rule it out — fueling rumors that her break with Trump may be less about stepping away from politics and more about redefining the post-Trump conservative movement on her own terms.

          According to a November report from Notus, Greene has privately expressed interest in following in Donald Trump’s footsteps to the White House. The outlet cites four sources familiar with her thinking, saying Greene believes she represents the “real MAGA” faction — the core conservative movement that has reshaped the GOP since 2016 — and that many Republican leaders have drifted away from those grassroots values. (RELATED: Marjorie Taylor Greene Reportedly Prepping For 2028 Presidential Run)

          One source told Notus that Greene feels confident she has built the national donor network and grassroots support needed to mount a serious primary campaign, especially as the GOP’s base remains loyal to Trump’s populist agenda.

          James Carville Predicts Trump Will Quit Presidency

            Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville is once again predicting that President Donald Trump will not finish his current term, this time claiming Trump will resign from office by Easter 2027 after what he expects will be a devastating Republican defeat in the 2026 midterm elections.

            Speaking on Sunday’s episode of his Politics War Room podcast, Carville argued that Trump is unprepared for the political fallout he believes is coming next November.

            “Trump has no earthly idea of what’s coming for him,” Carville said. “They’re not telling him. The vote against him in November is gonna be, like, breathtaking.”

            Republicans currently hold narrow majorities in Congress, though Democrats are hoping to regain control of the House in the 2026 midterms. Carville suggested that a Democratic takeover would trigger aggressive congressional investigations into the Trump administration and leave the president politically isolated.

            The longtime Democratic operative went further, claiming Trump appears disengaged from the presidency and lacks the stamina to withstand a hostile political environment.

            “He’s already bored. He can’t stay awake,” Carville said. “He says he’s ‘bored’ with the Iran war. I’m telling you, this guy, by Easter of 2027, is just gonna walk away from this job.”

            Carville predicted that Trump would be overwhelmed by what he described as a coming “massive rejection” of both the president and his political movement.

            “He won’t last past Easter of 2027 because he has no idea,” Carville added. “And they just lie to him and try to keep sh** from him, and it’s all gonna come out, and it is gonna be very ugly.”

            The comments represent the latest version of a prediction Carville has been making for months. In March, he predicted Trump would leave office by March 17, 2027, saying the president would simply “walk away” once Democrats regained congressional power. At the time, Carville argued that Trump would become increasingly irrelevant politically if Republicans suffered major losses in the midterms.

            Carville has also suggested that congressional investigations into Trump and members of his family would intensify if Democrats regain control of the House, potentially creating additional pressure on the administration.

            Not surprisingly, the White House and Trump allies have dismissed Carville’s predictions. Following similar remarks earlier this year, administration officials accused the Democratic strategist of suffering from “Trump Derangement Syndrome” and pointed to Trump’s policy achievements and continued support among Republican voters.

            Carville, best known for helping engineer Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential victory, has built a reputation for colorful political commentary and bold predictions. However, some of his recent forecasts—including his prediction that Kamala Harris would defeat Trump in 2024—have failed to materialize, leading critics to question his latest claims.

            Whether Carville’s latest forecast proves accurate remains to be seen, but his prediction sets a specific timeline: Easter Sunday, March 28, 2027.

            Have you abandoned MAGA too? Or can Trump still count on you? He needs an answer NOW.

            White House Responds To Reports Trump Plans To Fire Another Admin Official

            The White House is forcefully denying a new report that President Trump is preparing to fire Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard—just one day after ousting Attorney General Pam Bondi in a major Cabinet shakeup.

            White House Communications Director Steven Cheung dismissed the report outright, saying Trump has “total confidence” in Gabbard and that “any insinuation otherwise is totally fake news.”

            “The President has assembled the most talented and impactful Cabinet ever, and they have collectively delivered historic victories on behalf of the American people,” Cheung added in a post on X.

            The response came after a report from The Guardian claimed Trump had begun quietly exploring Gabbard’s potential replacement, even polling Cabinet members about the idea.

            According to the report, Trump has been privately frustrated with Gabbard’s handling of internal dissent—particularly her defense of former counterterrorism official Joe Kent, who resigned in protest over the administration’s military operations in Iran.

            “Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby,” Kent wrote in his resignation letter, shortly after U.S. and Israeli forces carried out joint strikes.

            Gabbard, a longtime critic of U.S. intervention abroad, declined to publicly rebuke Kent—fueling tensions inside the administration. Trump has been “venting frustration that she shielded a former deputy who undercut his rationale for war with Iran, according to two people briefed on the discussions,” the report said.

            Her recent congressional testimony added to the strain. When pressed by lawmakers, Gabbard refused to offer her personal view on the legality of the Iran strikes—a position consistent with her past skepticism of executive war powers, but one that reportedly irritated the president.

            Despite the internal friction, it remains unclear whether Trump is prepared to act.

            “It is not clear that Trump will actually fire Gabbard over the episode,” the report noted, adding that “currently, there is no standout candidate to take the job, and advisers have cautioned that creating a high-profile vacancy before a successor is ready could cause unhelpful political distractions.”

            Trump himself has sent mixed signals. When asked aboard Air Force One whether he still had confidence in Gabbard, he offered only a lukewarm endorsement:

            “Yeah, sure,” Trump said. “I mean, she’s a little bit different in her thought process than me, but that doesn’t make somebody not available to say it.”

            The episode comes at a sensitive moment for the administration. Trump’s decision to remove Bondi marked the most significant personnel shakeup of his second term—and raised new questions about whether additional changes could follow.

            For now, the White House is trying to shut down that narrative. But with tensions simmering over foreign policy—and Trump’s track record of abrupt personnel moves—the speculation is unlikely to fade anytime soon.

            John Kennedy here. The last fundraising deadline passed — and we came up short. Now the woke crowd is celebrating, saying “Kennedy’s finished.” Let’s prove them wrong. Chip in $25, $50, or whatever you can to close the gap and keep fighting.
