'Bestiality is on the table': MAGA network sounds 'End Times' alarm over 2014 headline

The hosts of the pro-MAGA network Real America's Voice warned that the End Times could be on the horizon because of a 2014 New York Times opinion piece describing pedophilia as a "disorder."

"Elon Musk is just one of many now out there slamming the Times, the New York Times, for an op-ed they published, look at this," co-host David Brody began. "It framed pedophilia as a psychological disorder rather than a crime."

Republicans accidentally crafted the perfect bill to tank their own election odds: analyst

President Donald Trump and the GOP are pushing as hard as they can to pass a nationwide voter restriction bill, something all but guaranteed to fail if they can't muster the votes to change Senate rules. Their bill, the SAVE America Act, would establish strict voter ID requirements nationwide, add new proof-of-citizenship rules to voter registration, and require state voter rolls to be run through a Department of Homeland Security system notorious for falsely flagging citizens as noncitizens.

Trump himself has boasted that the Republican Party will "never lose" again if the bill passes. But in reality, wrote Marc Novicoff for The Atlantic, it might have the opposite effect: the bill's requirements are so strict it would likely prevent more Republicans than Democrats from voting.

Todd Blanche tied to new missing Trump-Epstein sex assault interviews: 'Such a cover-up'

During a MS NOW segment on the missing Jeffrey Epstein files documents that have cast a larger and growing cloud over Donald Trump’s ties to the convicted sex trafficker, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche became a central figure of discussion.

At the center of the latest revelation over what is, and isn't, in the Epstein files, are multiple interviews with a woman who accused President Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her decades ago when she was approximately 13 that are nowhere to be found despite being listed on an evidence log provided to the attorneys representing Ghislaine Maxwell.

Senator raises suspicion Trump DOJ killed Epstein drug trafficking probe

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) is demanding a probe into whether the Trump administration killed a drug trafficking investigation into the late financier and sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein.

According to CBS News, Wyden's letter to the director of the Drug Enforcement Administration cites a memo recently uncovered as part of the Epstein Files Transparency act. "The memo, from 2015, refers to a DEA Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces probe nicknamed 'Chain Reaction.' It noted that the case was opened in 2010 in New York and was 'judicial pending,' indicating that the investigation remained active at the time the memo was drafted 5 years later."

Trump 'imperiling the safety' of Supreme Court justices with attack: 'They are traitors'

Donald Trump has stirred up his administration's stance against the Supreme Court and is blurring the line of law, a political analyst has claimed.

The president made it clear he did not agree with the 6-3 vote against his tariff policy, with the Supreme Court ruling that Trump must seek Congressional approval to raise tariff percentages. This, among other court cases he and the admin are fielding, could be a reason behind Trump's dressing down of the legal body during his State of the Union address earlier this week.

GOP hits point of no return on 'dangerous bill' some Republicans refuse to push through

A child vaccine bill set to be pushed through by Florida's Governor, Ron DeSantis, will face opposition from the Republican Party, representatives have confirmed.

Plans from DeSantis and Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo to ban school vaccine requirements were criticized by Democrats and Republicans, as well as medical experts. The bill is set to receive a push this year despite the ongoing opposition to it. Amendments have also been made to the legislature, which, if passed, would mean parental preference over vaccinations is enough of a reason to exempt a child from receiving their shots.

Trump warned to watch what he wishes for as his key fantasy could lead to disaster

President Donald Trump pushed fantasy accomplishments at his State of the Union Address this week, including a claim that prices were falling in America. They aren't.

But more to the point, wrote Jonelle Marte for Bloomberg, he shouldn't want them to be either.

Polls show concerns about Trump's mental acuity approaching same levels as Biden

Concerns about President Donald Trump's mental fitness are approaching levels comparable to those that forced Joe Biden from the 2024 race.

Multiple recent polls show majorities of Americans question the 79-year-old president's cognitive capacity and physical stamina, including a Reuters-Ipsos poll released before Trump's State of the Union address that found 61 percent – including 30 percent of Republicans – agree that Trump has "become erratic with age," reported CNN.

Mike Johnson handcuffed as he faces off with 'untouchable' GOP rebels in the House

The Republican Party's razor-thin House majority has transformed Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) into a caretaker rather than a commanding leader as he must carefully navigate his fractious caucus, unable to discipline wayward members without risking the votes he desperately needs, according to an analysis.

The sex and death scandal surrounding Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) underscores Johnson's vulnerability. Despite calls from within his own party for Gonzales to step down, Johnson has maintained distance from the controversy, constrained by the mathematical reality that he cannot afford to lose a single vote, according to MS NOW.

'Plenty of hints' point to Trump admin's next toddler-endangering health move: expert

The writing could be on the wall for one healthcare essential as RFK Jr. and his team may be preparing to tackle a particular vaccination.

The Health and Human Services Secretary may make a further move against the shingles vaccine following an advisory panel ruling in December last year. The Children's Health Defense team, which Kennedy founded, asked for further data on RSV shots for children, despite the years of safety testing that have gone into the vaccinations.

GOP governor of red state picks a fight with Trump on two policies: 'That's un-American'

Gov. Kevin Stitt (R-OK) took yet another stand against President Donald Trump during an NPR interview published on Thursday, questioning the wisdom of his mass deportation policies.

"The president needs to tell us what's the endgame. Is it truly to deport every single person here in the country? I don't think that's what America wants," said Stitt, a member of the Cherokee Nation and one of a small handful of Native Americans to have ever served as a governor. He argued immigrants who are not committing crimes and working in their communities should be given legal status.

Rebel Republican candidates face 'backfire' from Trump over fabricated endorsements: Axios

Republicans are facing a nationwide epidemic of primary candidates pretending to have President Donald Trump's endorsement when they don't — and they're playing with fire, reported Axios.

"Trump's approval numbers are sagging but he still dominates the GOP, using endorsements to reward allies, punish detractors and reinforce his vise-like grip on the party," said the report. This state of affairs "has led Republicans in races nationwide to covet Trump's blessing, tout his endorsement — and appear a bit misleading when they don't get it."

'Frustration' grows as Trump allows 'expensive and nasty' GOP war to get out of hand

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) and other Republican officials have expressed growing concern that Donald Trump's refusal to take sides in the Texas Republican primary could cost the party a crucial Senate seat in November.

The seat currently held by Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) is considered vulnerable, particularly given the possibility of a contentious runoff against scandal-plagued Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Thune has privately urged Trump to endorse Cornyn, whom party insiders view as the stronger general election candidate, but Trump has remained noncommittal, stating only that he is "friendly with all of them."
