Trump skips sleep to post 1am AI slop spree complete with scowling George Washington

The Daily Beast reported that President Donald Trump unleashed eight posts during a roughly 50-minute stretch that ran from half past midnight to nearly 1:20 a.m., touching on the Iran war, November's midterm elections, sanctuary cities and what the outlet described as ramblings about "Western civilization."

Shock as Trump intervention sparked loyalty questions among own DOJ: ‘Made my jaw drop’

Amid President Donald Trump’s intervention into a major antitrust case, Justice Department officials openly questioned the loyalty of a top Trump advisor involved in the matter, the Wall Street Journal reported – leaving onlookers stunned Sunday night.

According to the report, the Justice Department was readying to mount a legal fight against Live Nation – the parent company of Ticketmaster – earlier this year that was “more than a decade in the making.” Trump himself had also pledged in 2025 to target “price-gouging by middlemen in the entertainment industry” via an executive order.

Trump's big ballroom claim blown apart by insiders

President Donald Trump has justified the White House's $600 million ballroom project by arguing it will give him and future presidents a bunker-grade, fortified complex – but former officials say that argument ignores something that already exists.

More than a decade ago, federal officials quietly built a highly protected bunker deep underground at the White House, three former officials told the Washington Post. Completed during the Obama administration, it can shelter dozens of people for weeks, sits more than 60 feet below the complex, and is built to withstand a nuclear blast — giving the president a secure command center in a national emergency.

President Donald Trump has found a way to explain the growing pile of Republicans who lost their primaries after he endorsed them: they were doomed anyway, and he only backed them to be nice.

MAGA comes unglued after its favorite ex-NBA player gets tossed from a WNBA game

A former professional basketball player trying to join the women's professional ranks was kicked out of a game Sunday night, sending fans of President Donald Trump's Make America Great Again movement into a tailspin.

Enes Kanter Freedom, a Turkish-American basketball player who played 11 seasons in the NBA, recently declared for the 2027 WNBA draft in protest of the league's eligibility guidelines. The guidelines say "only players who are women" are eligible to play, language that has opened the door for transgender athletes to compete in the league. Freedom, in turn, has publicly claimed that he now "identifies" as a woman, even though he does not bear any of the gender markers. MAGA fans have latched onto Freedom's antics in furtherance of their attacks against people who identify as transgender.

Ted Cruz uncorks bizarre claim about Supreme Court's former 'radical leftist'

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has been known to say some wild things, but his appearance on "Life, Liberty & Levin" on Sunday may have set a new high bar.

Ex-GOP strategist warns Trump's 'last true believer' is a damning sign of his downfall

President Donald Trump's saga with his devoted aide Natalie Harp may come to a perilous end, one ex-GOP strategist predicted on Sunday.

Rick Wilson, founder of the anti-Trump organization The Lincoln Project, argued in a new episode of "The Lincoln Project Podcast" that Trump's relationship with Harp, whom some have described as his "human binkie" and his "printer," is reminiscent of another world leader's escapades with a staff member. That relationship, Wilson said, signaled the end of the leader's reign, just as Harp's arrival on the scene does for the Trump administration.

Trump snubbed at GOP convention as his own party won't say his name: report

President Donald Trump's name was barely mentioned at a Michigan GOP convention over the weekend, even as the party sought to present a "unified strategy" to voters, according to a new report.

The Detroit Free Press reported that the Aug. 22 nominating convention inside the Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort in Mt. Pleasant was full of Trumpian attacks on Democrats — blaming them for issues ranging from schools to roads and the electric grid — but the leader of the national party was conspicuously absent. Even Republicans like Senate candidate Mike Rogers, attorney general nominee Doug Lloyd, and Secretary of State candidate Anthony Forlini avoided using Trump's name in their speeches, according to the report.

Trump's 'mysterious obsession' may soon leave 'irreversible' scars on Americans: analyst

President Donald Trump has what one analyst described as a "mysterious obsession" with vaccines that could wreak havoc on the American people long after he leaves office.

Trump, along with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has embarked on one of the most flagrant anti-vaccine campaigns in modern history, culminating with revising the childhood vaccine schedule to reduce the total number of vaccines required. Russ Baker, a Democratic analyst, speculated in a new Substack essay on Sunday that the reason why Trump has embarked on such a crusade is that Trump believes vaccines are responsible for the "atypical" nature of his youngest son.

Trump's 'cheerleader' has a new White House role — and it exposes his biggest weakness

President Donald Trump's top "cheerleader" in the White House has recently gotten a new role, and it exposed her boss's biggest weakness, according to a new column.

Natalie Harp, who has earned monikers ranging from Trump's "human printer" to his "human binkie," has seemingly become the bodyguard of Trump's "fragile ego," Renée Graham, a columnist at The Boston Globe, argued in a new op-ed. That job apparently involves providing Trump with the information he wants to hear, rather than information about reality, she argued.
