Ex-insider says Trump pick is using 'common core math' to deceive president

Donald Trump's Fed chair nominee is basically using "common core" math to deceive the president, according to an ex-insider.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, the former Georgia congresswoman who lost her seat after breaking with the president, took aim Sunday at Donald Trump's own Federal Reserve chairman, accusing Kevin Warsh of manipulating inflation measurements to justify cutting interest rates and stay in the president's good graces.

Rob Schneider breaks into 'Waterboy' character to endorse candidate: 'You can do it!'

During an appearance Sunday on Fox News, comedian Rob Schneider morphed himself into his character from Adam Sandler’s 1998 film “The Waterboy” to attack Democrats and endorse a GOP mayoral candidate.

That candidate is Spencer Pratt, a registered Republican who is vying to become the next mayor of Los Angeles, California, and oust incumbent Mayor Karen Bass. Spencer has been fiercely promoted by right-wing figures, though remains several points behind Bass in recent polls.

Trump threatens Bush-appointed judge by name over White House renovation project case

Donald Trump threatened a federal judge by name Sunday and attacked a female plaintiff as a "serial" litigant in a Truth Social post defending his plan to build a military drone port on top of the proposed White House ballroom, warning the judge that he "will be held responsible" if anything goes wrong.

"Judge Richard Leon should stop playing games with America's Security!" Trump wrote, posting side-by-side images of the proposed DronePort — one showing a festive aerial view of Washington and another depicting military aircraft and troops. "If anything happens, he will be held responsible for the Death and Destruction caused to our Country."

Trump's ex-campaign adviser issues president brutal warning: 'Subpoenas and subpoenas'

GOP strategist David Urban, who in 2016 served as President Donald Trump’s senior campaign adviser, issued his former boss a harsh warning on Sunday, cautioning the president that he may soon face a wave of congressional subpoenas if he doesn’t dramatically shift course ahead of the midterm elections.

Appearing on CNN, Urban was responding to Trump’s remarks last week where he told reporters that he didn’t “care about the midterms” as it relates to his deeply unpopular war against Iran.

Fox's Bartiromo mocked by both sides for getting Kennedy Center case wrong: 'Full-time PR'

Fox's Maria Bartiromo drew ridicule from journalists and conservatives alike after posting a lengthy defense of Donald Trump's Kennedy Center name change that got the basic legal facts wrong — and appeared to pass along opposition research from Laura Loomer targeting the judge's wife.

Bartiromo claimed the Kennedy Center board had already approved adding Trump's name to the building and accused the judge who ordered it removed of being part of a "Get Trump" conspiracy. "The way these judges go after Donald Trump is absolutely sick and the history books will reveal how sick and un-American they are," she wrote, before pivoting to information she attributed to Loomer about Judge Christopher Cooper's wife, attorney Dorothy Ames Jeffress, claiming Jeffress had previously represented Lisa Page and Nancy Pelosi.

Trump barreling toward disaster with just '30 days to turn this ship': GOP strategists

With President Donald Trump’s favorability at historically low levels as his policies continue to economically ravage Americans, GOP strategist Brad Todd issued the president a tight deadline to turn things around, or risk a devastating collapse of power.

Trump’s tariffs and his decision to launch a war against Iran have sent prices for a number of goods skyrocketing, leading to a considerable backlash from voters that has led analysts to predict a historically poor midterm election performance from the GOP.

Mike Pence breaks with Trump over 'deeply offensive' and 'bad idea' for DOJ

Former Vice President Mike Pence broke with the Trump administration Sunday over the $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund, calling it a "deeply offensive" and a "bad idea" and urging the White House to abandon it entirely.

Pence made the remarks in an interview with NBC News' Meet the Press, where he said he would encourage the Trump administration to drop the fund, which is designed to compensate people who claim they were unfairly investigated or prosecuted by the government — including those who attacked police officers during the January 6, 2021 assault on the U.S. Capitol.

Doctor raises prospect of 'underlying condition' as Trump faces non-routine cognitive test

A physician who appeared on MS NOW Sunday morning pushed back on Donald Trump's early morning boast about acing a cognitive screening test, warning that the frequency with which Trump appears to be taking the exam raises questions rather than answering them — because the test is typically administered when doctors are already concerned about something.

Dr. Vin Gupta was responding to Trump's 12:35 a.m. Truth Social post in which the president claimed to have scored a perfect 30 out of 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, calling it an "approved high difficulty cognitive test" that no other president has taken and describing the result as evidence of "extreme intelligence."

Republicans grow 'uncomfortable' as GOP stronghold looks flippable due to 'scrambled math'

Republicans are growing increasingly “uncomfortable” as a confluence of factors have “scrambled the political math in typically red Texas,” Axios reported Sunday, factors that could potentially flip a seat that has been held by a Republican since 1994.

Among the strongest factors is Texas’ demographic shift, with more than 2.5 million Americans having moved to the Lone Star State since 2020.

'This is so cringe': GOP lawmaker meets MAGA rage after 'thirsty' post about Trump

Republican Rep. Nancy Mace responded to being snubbed by President Donald Trump by posting a public declaration of loyalty on Saturday, touting a "100% lifetime voting record supporting Trump" — a move that drew immediate ridicule from critics on the left and the right, including some of Trump's most devoted online supporters.

Mace, who is running for governor of South Carolina and had been seeking Trump's endorsement, appeared to be auditioning for his support with the post despite Trump already formally endorsing her opponent. Even MAGA world wasn't buying it.

'Layer of green murk' could plague Reflecting Pool due to Trump admin oversight: report

The ongoing renovations to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool being carried out by the Trump administration have yet to address a major “underlying problem,” according to documents obtained and reported on by The New York Times, a problem that if not addressed, could leave the floor of the iconic pool “invisible under a layer of green murk.”

“Twelve-inch pipes under the surrounding parkland are responsible for moving large volumes of water from the pool to [a] treatment plant and back again. When it works, that system is supposed to filter all of the pool’s four million gallons every three days or so,” reads the Times’ report.

GOP White House doc questions Trump medical scan that only happens if 'we are concerned'

Jonathan Reiner, the cardiologist who served as Vice President Dick Cheney's physician and has become one of the most prominent medical voices scrutinizing presidential health disclosures, raised several pointed questions over the weekend about President Donald Trump's latest physical, starting with why the president received a second coronary artery CT scan just six months after his last one.

"We don't typically scan patients 6 months later unless we are concerned about a finding on the initial scan," Reiner wrote on X. "What prompted the repeat CT?"

Trump may have just doomed his own nominees for remainder of term: analysis

President Donald Trump’s “pursuit of retribution” has led to the ousting of several GOP lawmakers he’d perceived as inefficiently loyal, but in doing so, may very well have doomed his future nominees for the remainder of his term, health care reporter Joseph Choi argued Sunday in an analysis published in The Hill.

Earlier this month, Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) was defeated in his GOP primary race by his Trump-backed challenger, Rep. Julia Letlow (R-LA). Cassidy was among the few Republican lawmakers to vote to convict the president for his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, and would go on to call for Trump to drop out of the 2024 race.
