    Mike Lawler Announces Re-Election Campaign As Republicans Seek To Defend Razor-Thin Majority

    Republicans are breathing a sigh of relief…

    On Wednesday morning, Republican Rep. Mike Lawler of New York announced he will seek re-election in next year’s midterms in his crucial battleground House district, which covers a large swath of New York City’s northern suburbs.

    Lawler, who announced his news in an interview Wednesday morning on Fox News’ “Fox and Friends,” had been seriously considering a bid for New York State governor.

    “There’s no question Kathy Hochul is the worst governor in America,” Lawler told Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade, before adding, “In 2026, she needs to be defeated. But after months of deliberating over this and really working through it, I’ve decided the right thing to do for me and my family and my district is to run for re-election.”

    His news is seen as a major relief to the White House and congressional Republicans, who are defending their razor-thin House majority in the 2026 midterms. 

    Top House Republicans as well as President Donald Trump had pressed Lawler to seek re-election, and Fox News confirmed that Lawler met with Trump last week at the White House to discuss his 2026 plans and other issues.

    “While I fundamentally believe I am best positioned to take on Kathy Hochul and offer New Yorkers a real choice for Governor, I have made the decision to run for re-election to the House and continue the important work I’ve been doing over the past two and a half years,” Lawler shared in a statement with Fox News Digital Wednesday morning. 

    The Democratic Governors Association called Lawler’s decision a “humiliating setback” for Republicans, arguing that his choice means he doesn’t believe a Republican can win statewide.

    However, Republicans now seem likely to avoid a hotly contested primary, as they said they hoped only one of Lawler or Elise Stefanik would go forward with a gubernatorial run.

    Elise Stefanik released a statement Wednesday morning, calling Republicans “more unified than ever in our mission to fire the Worst Governor in America Kathy Hochul in 2026” and Lawler a “great, effective, and hardworking Representative for New York’s 17th Congressional District.”

    “As I have previously stated, I am focused on supporting strong Republican local and county candidates on the ballot this November to lay the groundwork with a strong team for next year. I will make a final decision and announcement after this year’s November election which we are all focused on,” Stefanik added. 

    Stefanik seems all but certain to run for governor, with a source familiar with her thinking telling The Hill last month that “it’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when.”

    Republicans have been hopeful that they could seriously compete for the office in 2026 after impressive performances in recent years. Hochul only won reelection in 2022 by about 6 points, a much closer margin than observers expected.

    Trump also made significant gains in New York in last year’s presidential election, while still falling short by double digits of victory in the state.

    Kentucky Senate Democrat Switches Parties To GOP

    Another Democrat is calling it quits…

    A Kentucky state Senator Robin Webb, who represents Kentucky’s rural 18th Senate district, revealed she is switching her party affiliation to Republican.

    “First and foremost, I’m a mother, a rancher and a lawyer with deep personal and professional roots in Kentucky’s coal country,” Webb said while explaining the switch. “As the Democratic Party continues its lurch to the left and its hyperfocus on policies that hurt workforce and economic development in my region, I no longer feel it represents my values.”

    “It has become untenable and counterproductive to the best interests of my constituents for me to remain a Democrat.”

    “While it’s cliché, it’s true: I didn’t leave the party — the party left me,” Webb said.

    This comes as a major blow to Kentucky Democrats, who have historically held a stronghold in rural regions of the state largely due to union workers and the coal industry. 

    “Like countless other Kentuckians, [Webb] has recognized that the policies and objectives of today’s Democratic Party are simply not what they once were, and do not align with the vast majority of Kentuckians,” Republican Party of Kentucky Chairman Robert Benvenuti added.

    “I always respected that [Webb] approached issues in a very thoughtful and commonsense manner, and that she never failed to keenly focus on what was best for her constituents,” Benvenuti added. “It is my pleasure to welcome Sen. Robin Webb to the Republican Party.”

    Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear told a local Louisville news outlet that he “would consider” a run as the Democrat nominee for president in 2028.

    Beshear is among a handful of Democratic governors who have been floated as 2028 White House potentials, which also include Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, Gavin Newsom of California, JB Pritzker of Illinois, and Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania.

    Ex-Biden Official Calls Karine Jean-Pierre ‘Kinda Dumb’ Amid Fallout From Party Switch

    A number of Biden-era officials were stunned that former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre revealed she has decided to abandon the Democrat Party despite serving under two administrations.

    KJP’s revelation has been met with immense criticism from party insiders, including ex-Biden policy advisor Tim Wu who called the former press secretary “kinda dumb.”

    In a blistering post that has now been deleted on X on Thursday, Wu wrote: “From WH policy staff perspective, the real problem with Karine Jean-Pierre was that she was kinda dumb. No interest in understanding harder topics. Just gave random incoherent answers on policy.”

    Jean-Pierre, who served as former President Joe Biden’s press secretary for more than two years, revealed this week she is leaving the Democratic Party and releasing a memoir titled Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines. The book promises a scathing assessment of Biden’s final years in office, detailing what she calls “the betrayal by the Democratic Party” that led to his aborted re-election bid. (RELATED: Ex-Biden Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre Announces Switch To Independent)

    Jean-Pierre’s pivot, according to Axios, drew immediate backlash from those she previously worked with.

    “One of the most ineffectual and unprepared people I’ve ever worked with,” one former colleague told the outlet. “She had meltdowns after any interview that asked about a topic not sent over by producers.”

    One ex-official put it bluntly in conversation with Axios: “Today Karine lost the only constituency that ever supported her – party line Democrats.”

    One White House reporter sarcastically called the project “amazing,” and suggested Jean-Pierre’s book won’t carry much weight.  

    “Did she find the manuscript somewhere in that fat binder she toted around? If I were a historian writing about the Biden White House, I wouldn’t ignore what Karine has to say, but it’s not an account in which much weight will be invested — just like her briefings,” the White House reporter told Fox News Digital. 

    A second White House reporter said they wouldn’t have even realized Jean-Pierre was in the news if Fox News Digital didn’t ask about it. 

    “She left the Democratic Party? I honestly didn’t see that story and probably wouldn’t have even noticed. I turned off my KJP Google Alert on Inauguration Day,” the reporter reacted, before joking, “Has anyone circled back with Jen Psaki?”

    A third White House reporter was “shocked” that Jean-Pierre had left the Democratic Party. 

    “I have to pick my jaw up from the floor. It is unbelievable that she, of all people, would choose this path,” the reporter told Fox News Digital. 

    “Just take a look at her entire career and identity,” they said. “You can’t change who you are just because you check a different box on a registration form. It’s also disappointing to see that she would turn her back on her party just because it’s hit a really rough patch… it speaks to character.”

    Fox News Star Invites James Carville to Join GOP as Democrat Civil War Explodes

    Fox News host Laura Ingraham has an unexpected escape plan for James Carville as the famed Democratic strategist threatens to bolt his party over its accelerating socialist turn: Come join the Republicans.

    Ingraham extended the striking invitation Monday night after Carville drew a red line around the growing influence of left-wing streamer Hasan Piker and the Democratic Socialists of America.

    “The socialists have momentum,” Ingraham warned on “The Ingraham Angle,” according to The Hill and Mediaite. She argued that the Democratic Party is on course to become a socialist party unless its more sensible members stop merely complaining from cable-news studios and begin fighting back.

    Then she made Carville an offer that would have sounded unthinkable during his days helping put Bill Clinton in the White House.

    “Turn to us,” Ingraham said, urging Carville and other anti-socialist Democrats to help Republicans build a party focused on restoring the American middle class.

    The invitation came one day after Carville declared that he and Piker could not remain under the same political roof.

    “I am not going to be in the same party with Hasan Piker,” Carville said Sunday on Fox News’ “The Sunday Briefing.” If Piker becomes a serious force among Democrats, Carville added, “I’m out of here.”

    Carville, who has spent decades as one of the Democratic Party’s most recognizable strategists, said an “overwhelming majority” of Democrats share his opposition to Piker’s politics. He also pointed viewers toward the DSA platform and mocked the idea of embracing policies aimed at seizing the means of production.

    The DSA’s own 2025–2026 program calls for placing the nation’s largest corporations under public ownership and democratic control. It also advocates a new constitutional structure featuring a single federal legislature, universal rent control, tuition-free public college, a 32-hour workweek and sweeping reductions to the U.S. military footprint.

    Yet Carville’s ultimatum appears to have energized the very faction he wants Democrats to reject.

    Tezlyn Figaro, a former adviser to Sen. Bernie Sanders, challenged Carville on Fox News Monday to follow through.

    “Get out, Jim!” Figaro said, according to Mediaite. She argued that progressives are organizing, winning elections and gaining influence while establishment figures complain from the sidelines.

    Those victories are becoming harder for Democratic leaders to dismiss.

    Axios described the June Democratic primaries in New York as a socialist “earthquake” after two sitting House members lost to left-wing challengers. All three winning candidates were backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, while two were democratic socialists.

    One centrist House Democrat called the results a “huge defeat” for party leadership. Another senior Democrat offered a blunter warning: “Buckle up.”

    The socialist surge spread beyond New York when DSA-backed Melat Kiros defeated 15-term Rep. Diana DeGette in Colorado’s Democratic primary. The Guardian described the upset as another sign of a generational and ideological shift inside the party.

    Kiros campaigned against corporate power, military spending and U.S. support for Israel while receiving backing from Sanders, the DSA and Justice Democrats.

    Meanwhile, Michigan Democrats headed to the polls Tuesday in a closely watched Senate contest pitting establishment-backed Rep. Haley Stevens against progressive Abdul El-Sayed. CBS News reported that El-Sayed campaigned with Piker at events that exposed the party’s widening divisions over Israel. El-Sayed has also received support from Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

    The showdown leaves Carville trapped between two competing invitations: Ingraham is holding open the GOP door, while the Democratic left is daring him to walk out of his own party.

    For a strategist who has spent nearly half a century helping shape Democratic politics, the question is no longer whether his party is changing. It is whether there will still be room for him when that transformation is complete.

    Trump Scores Endorsement From Iowa Attorney General

    Former President Donald Trump scored a significant endorsement on Monday as he seeks to shore up support in the Hawkeye State.

    Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird (R) endorsed former President Trump during a campaign rally in Adel, Iowa.

    “We need a new president in the White House. I am so glad to get to be here today to introduce Donald Trump, ’cause he will secure our border, who supports that?” she said to a crowd of Trump supporters.

    “He will fight the terrorists. He will fix the economy. He will stand up for agriculture, and he will uphold our Constitution and our way of life,” she added.

    Trump continues to lead in national and local polling, with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis placing second in the RealClearPolitics polling index of Iowa surveys.

    However, Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds (R) has yet to make a public endorsement in the GOP presidential primaries but has frequently campaigned alongside DeSantis.

    The former president criticized her approach to the primary in July, writing in a post on his Truth Social platform, “I opened up the Governor position for Kim Reynolds, & when she fell behind, I ENDORSED her, did big Rallies, & she won. Now, she wants to remain ‘NEUTRAL.’ I don’t invite her to events! DeSanctus down 45 points!”

    John Cusack Compares Trump To ‘Killers Of Christ’ In Easter Post, Sparks Backlash

    Actor John Cusack, once a household name in American cinema, used Easter Sunday to compare President Donald Trump to those who killed Jesus Christ. The post, shared on his X (formerly Twitter) account, quickly stirred controversy and prompted withering criticism from users across the platform.

    Cusack, who achieved A-list status in the late ’80s and ’90s with films like “Say Anything,” “High Fidelity” and “Grosse Pointe Blank,” has become better known in recent years for his political commentary than his acting work. He’s been a persistent critic of both Hollywood’s corporate culture and right-leaning political figures, often using sweeping, inflammatory language to make his points.

    Breitbart’s Warner Todd Huston provides further information and corrects the actor’s historical narrative:

    Of course, Cusack’s simple-minded framing of the death of Jesus Christ is not entirely correct. Jesus was not crucified merely for “politics.” The Jewish leaders who conspired to eliminate Jesus were incensed that he had called himself the Son of God and, therefore, a divine figure. They felt he was engaging in blasphemy. And the Romans prosecuted him for claiming to be “King of the Jews.” That was a crime in their eyes because only Caesar could be king. The question of Christ’s divinity was not as incidental as Cusack wants to make it seem.

    Certainly, Jesus also threatened the political power of the Jewish leaders. But the Romans were somewhat indifferent and did not feel he was all that much of a political threat to them. So, obviously there was a political aspect to the whole thing, but to say it was all just a “political calculation” is an oversimplification. There was also deep religious context to it all.

    The Say Anything star is a constant presence on social media where he often engages in wild-eyed, hate-filled attacks on Donald Trump and anyone else who opposes Cusack’s extremist opinions.

    Last month, for instance, Cusack once again broke out his tired “Nazi” epithets by calling Tesla chief Elon Musk a “Nazi” who is “literally killing people” for heading up Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and looking for ways to cut the bloated and out-of-control federal budget.

    Reactions on Social Media

    The reaction to Cusack’s Easter post was swift. Many users mocked the statement, calling it “unhinged” and labeling the actor a “nut job.” Others accused him of being out of touch with everyday Americans and using religion as a tool for political attacks.

    While Cusack has long aligned himself with progressive causes and anti-establishment rhetoric, critics argue that these kinds of extreme comparisons do more to alienate than persuade. Some pointed out the irony of invoking a religious holiday to make a hyperbolic political statement, particularly one that equates a democratically-elected president to biblical villains.

    A Career Shifted from Blockbusters to Activism

    Once a reliable lead in major Hollywood films, Cusack’s presence on screen has waned over the past two decades. Though he maintains a devoted fan base and occasional roles in direct-to-video flicks, his voice is now more commonly heard online, where he frequently engages in political debates and ad hominem attacks on his political opponents.

    His legacy as a cultural figure from the ’80s and ’90s remains intact, but his recent public statements continue to polarize. Whether this latest post was an attempt to spark discussion or simply another instance of performative outrage, it’s clear Cusack remains committed to using his platform, even if it means drawing fire in the process.

    Potential Cabinet Shifts As Trump Approaches One Year Back In Office

    As President Donald Trump approaches the one-year mark of his second term, the White House is preparing for the possibility of limited Cabinet adjustments — a normal process in any administration and one that officials stress is not indicative of instability.

    Unlike Trump’s first term, which saw high turnover across many departments, the president’s current Cabinet has been deliberately steady. Senior officials say this has been intentional to reinforce continuity and reliability during the administration’s first year. While internal discussions about potential future changes have occurred, the White House maintains that no decisions have been made and no changes are expected before early next year.

    White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt dismissed speculation about looming resignations, saying: “The cabinet is not changing no matter how much CNN wishes that it would because it thrives off drama.”

    Department of Homeland Security: Praise for Noem, Scrutiny of Lewandowski

    One of the departments that has drawn attention is the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), led by Secretary Kristi Noem. Trump has made immigration enforcement a central focus of his second-term agenda, and DHS has been central to carrying out those policies.

    Multiple sources emphasized that the president remains pleased with Noem’s leadership. A senior White House official reiterated Trump’s confidence, saying: “The President loves Kristi. He loves the job she’s doing.”

    However, internal friction has emerged around Corey Lewandowski, a longtime Trump ally who joined DHS as a special government employee with temporary status. His close working relationship with Noem has prompted speculation that the pair might eventually depart together if changes were made.

    Lewandowski, who previously helped run Trump’s 2016 campaign, has taken an active role inside the department. Sources told CNN he has directed personnel changes, overseen administrative leave requests, and pushed senior leaders to accelerate deportation-related programs. While supporters view him as an enforcer of the administration’s priorities, others within the White House believe his management style has caused tension.

    A person close to the White House noted that concerns have been raised internally: “Yes, he likes [Noem], but it has been brought to his attention that [Lewandowski] is a problem, and the agency is being mismanaged because of it.”

    The White House and DHS pushed back strongly on that interpretation. White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson highlighted DHS’s results under Trump and Noem, saying:
    “The tremendous results coming from the Department of Homeland Security … speak for themselves.”

    A DHS spokesperson added that Lewandowski “has a reputation of reprimanding officials who impede or slow down the administration and undermine the will of the American people.”

    In September, Trump met with Noem and Lewandowski to discuss DHS operations. According to two people familiar with the meeting, the conversation became tense at times — particularly between Lewandowski and the president — though Noem’s standing with Trump was not affected.

    Department of Energy: Questions Around Secretary Chris Wright

    The Department of Energy, led by former Colorado energy executive Chris Wright, is another agency where speculation has surfaced. Sources say some White House officials believe Wright has been reluctant on certain campaign-promised initiatives and that his department has faced senior-level turnover.

    Energy Department spokeswoman Taylor Rogers defended Wright’s performance, saying:
    “Secretary Wright has been working lockstep with President Trump since day one to restore America’s energy dominance.”
    She added that U.S. oil production hit a record high in July under Trump’s policies.

    Past Discussions About Other Cabinet Members

    This is not the first time internal debate about Cabinet roles has surfaced. Earlier discussions took place around Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth after an accidental sharing of sensitive information, and Trump had expressed frustration over Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s stance on Iran’s nuclear capabilities. Both remained in their posts.

    An upcoming Pentagon inspector general report on Hegseth’s messaging incident could renew attention but is not expected to carry formal consequences.

    Youngkin Seen as a Potential Future Administration Pick

    With Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin leaving office in January due to term limits, several Republicans close to Trump believe he may be considered for a future Cabinet position if an opening arises. Although the two men have not directly discussed a role, Youngkin has been publicly supportive of the president.

    During a call with supporters, Youngkin told Trump:
    “Mr. President, I want to thank you… I know that you will always put America first.”

    Trump returned the praise, calling Youngkin “one of the great governors in our country.”

    Sources say Youngkin would be interested in a position with an economic or business focus, while likely avoiding an immigration-first role such as DHS.

    Routine Evolution in Any Administration

    Cabinet adjustments are not unusual. During President Biden’s term, changes occurred at the Departments of Housing and Urban Development and Labor. Trump officials emphasize that any future changes would be part of routine administrative alignment, not broader turmoil.

    President Trump is fighting to make the U.S. Census citizens-only, and he needs every patriot standing with him. ADD YOUR NAME & STAND WITH TRUMP.

    Multiple People Indicted Following Assault of Turning Point USA Journalist

    A federal grand jury has indicted two individuals in connection with the April assault of journalist Savanah Hernandez, marking a significant development in a case that drew national attention after video of the incident circulated online.

    The attack took place on April 11 near the Whipple Federal Building, where Hernandez, a reporter affiliated with Turning Point USA, was covering events on the ground. Footage later shared on social media appeared to show her being surrounded by a group, shoved, struck, and knocked to the ground during the confrontation.

    According to reports from Fox News, the indictment remains under seal, and authorities have not yet publicly confirmed the identities of those charged. Hernandez stated that she had been informed two individuals would face charges and expressed appreciation that the case is moving forward.

    Readers should note that at least one assailant that Hernandez identified after the fact was also involved in the storming of a St. Paul church in which demonstrators interrupted a service because a member of church leadership was believed to be employed by Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE).

    In the aftermath of the incident, Hernandez said she experienced physical symptoms including a headache and neck pain. She has also publicly identified individuals involved in the altercation, including an influencer father and daughter duo Chris and Paige Ostroushko that go by Minnesota Angry Man and Minnesota Angry Daughter, though they both appeared to scrub their social media presences following the altercation.

    Additional video that surfaced days after the attack appears to show moments leading up to the confrontation, including the father directing his daughter to retrieve and use a whistle near Hernandez before the situation escalated, depicting what appears to be a premeditated assault. Medical sources note that close-range exposure to loud noises, such as a whistle blown directly into the ear, can pose significant risks of hearing loss.

    The case drew attention from federal officials shortly after the footage gained traction online, including Harmeet Dhillon, who indicated that the Department of Justice was monitoring the situation.

    While details remain limited as the legal process unfolds, the indictments signal that federal authorities are pursuing charges tied to the incident. The case is likely to continue drawing scrutiny as more information becomes public and court proceedings move forward.

    This incident comes months after Charlie Kirk was assassinated on a Utah college campus while exercising his First Amendment Rights, almost exactly a year after pro-life influencer Savannah Hernandez was assaulted mid-interview, and shortly before a third assassination attempt on Trump’s life

    Minnesota Republicans Propose Bill Classifying “Trump Derangement Syndrome” as Mental Illness

    Minnesota Senate Republicans have introduced a bill to define “Trump Derangement Syndrome” (TDS) as a form of mental illness. Senate Bill 2589, which is set to be formally introduced and read on March 17, 2025, igniting significant debate due to the novelty of a politically charged term in the medical lexicon.

    The bill, sponsored by Republican State Senators Eric Lucero, Steve Drazkowski, Nathan Wesenberg, Justin Eichorn, and Glenn Gruenhagen, seeks to amend the state’s definition of mental illness by adding a specific reference to TDS. According to the text of the bill, mental illness would include “Trump Derangement Syndrome” or an organic disorder of the brain that significantly impairs an individual’s ability to function in daily life.

    The bill describes TDS as “the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal persons that is in reaction to the policies and presidencies of President Donald J. Trump.” According to the proposal, individuals affected by TDS exhibit symptoms of paranoia and an inability to separate legitimate political disagreements from perceived personal or psychological pathology in Trump’s behavior.

    The bill further characterizes TDS as leading to “Trump-induced general hysteria,” where individuals may struggle to distinguish between policy differences and a supposed mental condition in the former president’s actions. These symptoms, the bill argues, can severely impair personal relationships, work, and other aspects of daily living.

    The bill has already been logged into the Minnesota legislature’s official website, but it is set to undergo formal introduction on March 17, 2025. Its introduction has garnered widespread attention, with reactions split along party lines.

    Supporters of the bill argue that it is a legitimate attempt to address a condition that they believe affects a significant portion of the population, particularly those who strongly opposed former President Trump. By naming and defining TDS, they argue, the bill opens a discussion about how political figures can profoundly affect the psychological well-being of individuals, especially during times of heightened political polarization.

    Fmr. Senior Trump Official Tells CNN Biden Is Right To Call Trump ‘Bleeping A**hole’

    Ex-National Security Advisor John Bolton said President Joe Biden “nailed” it in criticizing former President Donald Trump as a “f**king a**hole.”

    Politico disclosed some of the vulgar terms Biden uses on Thursday. According to the outlet, the president calls Trump a “sick f**k,” among other things, in private.

    CNN’s John Berman asked Bolton about Biden’s assessment of Trump on Friday.

    According to the transcript obtained by Mediaite, Breman began: “New reporting on how President Biden really feels about Donald Trump behind closed doors, Politico writes, quote, ‘the president has described Trump to longtime friends and close aides as a sick F who delights in other’s misfortunes, according to three people who have heard the president use the profane description. According to one of the people who has spoke with the president, Biden recently said of Trump, what a blinking blank hole the guy is.'”

    “I’m joined now by former national security adviser under then-President Trump, Ambassador John Bolton, who has a new forward for his memoir, ‘The Room Where It Happened.’ That forward, titled ‘The Room Where It Will Happen Again’ in the first line, is ‘Donald Trump may well be reelected president this November, becoming only the second person to win nonconsecutive terms.'”

    “Ambassador, thank you so much for being with us that Politico reporting on the choice words that President Biden uses to describe Donald Trump, how closely does that align with your view?”

    Bolton responded quickly and forcefully, never letting up.

    “Well, I think in personality terms, I think the President Biden has it pretty well nailed.”

    “But I would just say this. It’s not the personality of Donald Trump that’s the problem. It’s his lack of competence to do the job, the personalities unpleasant. But many people say, oh, we can we can deal with the personality. I like something else.”

    “It’s not the personality that’s the problem. He doesn’t understand the job, particularly in the national security space. He didn’t learn much in the first four years. He certainly hasn’t learned anything since then.”
