New partnership 'shocks many on the right' — and is dire sign for MAGA: analyst

With Charlie Kirk gone, the battle for the future of the Make America Great Again movement is facing a schism as right-wing influencers who have targeted young conservatives seek to scoop up his mantle and make it their own.

With that in mind, Salon political analyst Sophia Tesfaye claimed an alliance between far-right gadfly Nick Fuentes and his army of younger “groypers,” and former Tucker Carlson and his elderly Fox News supporters who followed him into the wilderness after he was unceremoniously fired, could splinter MAGA and make President Donald Trump’s life miserable.

Kash Patel alarmed as anti-terror head delved into Charlie Kirk death conspiracies: report

FBI Director Kash Patel vowed to investigate online conspiracy theories about right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk's assassination, but was bothered that the head of the National Counterterrorism Center had gone through bureau files chasing down leads of his own, according to a new report.

Patel and other senior FBI officials felt that Joe Kent, the director of the counterterrorism center, had overstepped his authority and possibly interfered with their investigation by examining FBI files to discover if foreign or domestic groups were linked to the 31-year-old Kirk’s fatal shooting last month during a campus event in Utah, reported the New York Times.

'Bang, bang you're dead, liberal': Video shows federal agent pointing gun at protester

A federal agent reportedly pointed a gun at a peaceful protester in Chicago, telling him, "You're dead, liberal."

In an order two weeks ago, U.S. District Court Judge Sara Ellis said that federal agents must issue two warnings if they determine that crowds pose a risk. On Friday, she ordered Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino to personally appear in court this week after he appeared to violate that order, which barred agents from deploying teargas and other weapons against journalists, protesters, and anyone not posing a threat.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton elbowed his way to the front of a crowded field to grab the title of “Most Wretched Republican Bootlicker” with a "painfully stupid" move, according to a columnist.

Kennedy Jr.

According to MSNBC’s Ken Dilanian, a new book by MSNBC investigative correspondent Carol Leonnig and Washington Post reporter Aaron C. Davis documents Garland forcing investigators to take it slow while investigating the then-former president over his involvement in the Jan. 6 insurrection and stolen government documents recovered from Mar-a-Lago after he lost re-election.
