The MAGA alternative to Amazon was supposed to make conservatives rich, but instead, it's become a smoldering pile of financial wreckage.

PublicSquare, the MAGA-branded marketplace that launched with Donald Trump Jr. chanting "USA, USA" on the New York Stock Exchange floor in 2023, has all but collapsed, and the president's eldest son cashed fat checks the entire way down, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Right-wing commentator Tomi Lahren has a dire message for the Republican Party: You're about to make an equal and opposite mistake to the Democratic Party.

Specifically, she wrote on X, while Democrats have spent years losing ground with young men without a solid plan to win them over, Republicans are already losing big with young women and seeing a bigger and bigger gap over time.

Legendary journalist Dan Rather threw President Donald Trump's words back in his face in a new Substack essay.

On Tuesday, the U.S. national debt surpassed $40 trillion, a level that has alarmed economists. Rather argued in a new article for his Substack, "Steady," that Trump once promised to eliminate the national debt during his first term. However, that appears to be just another unfulfilled promise.

A GOP senator was hammered by critics on Thursday after he complained about the size of the national debt.

This week, the national debt surpassed the $40 trillion mark, which stunned some political analysts. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) shared a post on X of a chart from Fox News comparing the debt level from the George W. Bush administration through both Trump administrations. His commentary sparked sharp criticism from several analysts.

President Donald Trump's "anti-fraud" project led by Vice President J.D. Vance is nothing more than a "ruse" for a pretext to lock up his political foes, former Trump administration staffer Miles Taylor warned.

Taylor, who previously served in the Department of Homeland Security and is the author of the "anonymous" resistance op-ed, laid out the scheme on his "Defiance" Substack on Thursday.

Attorney General Todd Blanche has been empowered by his confirmation to transform the entire Justice Department in President Donald Trump's image, former federal prosecutor Harry Litman warned in his Talking Feds Substack.

The DOJ is no stranger to being overtaken by corruption, noted Litman. For instance, "John Mitchell ran Richard Nixon’s dirty tricks and went to federal prison for it," while way back under former President Warren Harding, "Harry Doherty turned the Department into a vehicle for graft, his cronies selling pardons and immunities like so many indulgences, earning the DOJ the nickname 'the Department of Easy Virtue.'"

The Trump administration got a tongue-lashing on MS NOW's "Deadline: White House" Thursday, following Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's boast that low job numbers are okay because immigrants are being deported to balance it out.

Not only is this not how the economy works, noted anchor Alicia Menendez to former GOP strategist Tim Miller, but it also reveals a glaring contradiction at the heart of MAGA ideology.

Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's former attorney, seems to have cooked up what one legal expert described as a "fascinating social experiment."

Cohen appeared on CNN's Thursday broadcast of "The Lead" with Jake Tapper, where the two discussed an upcoming interview that Cohen conducted with Trump. The interview stunned some political analysts because of Cohen's involvement in getting Trump convicted on 34 felony counts in New York for falsifying business records related to a hush money payment Trump sent to a porn star ahead of the 2016 election.
