Push Notification

Lakewood Church, in Houston, Texas, tweeted out an alert that there was a shooting at their church on Sunday.

During the 4:37 p.m. C.S.T. briefing, Chief Troy Finner of the Houston Police Department said that the shooter was female, 30-35, and entered the building with a long gun hidden under a trench coat. A young child who police said was around 4 to 5 years-old accompanied her. The woman shot a middle-aged man in the hip.

The New York Times has been criticized over the past several months for its constant coverage of President Joe Biden and his age without giving Donald Trump the same treatment despite what other reports categorize as mental decline.

But over the weekend, it got considerably worse when the Times did a profile on Trump speaking so favorably of him that it even touted him for being "tan" and filled with youth.

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani said that he was personally insulted after what's known as "The Black National Anthem" was scheduled to be performed at the Super Bowl.

On Giuliani's Sunday WABC radio program, co-host Maria Ryan said she had a "beef" with the NFL.

Reacting to Donald Trump boasting that he would let Russia invade and "encourage them to do whatever the hell they want," in NATO countries if they don't contribute what he thinks is their fair share to the organization, avid Trump critic Rick Wilson blew up on Republicans for looking the other way.

In part of his epic rant on X, the former GOP campaign consultant wrote, "It's not enough that he's a rapist, a fraud, and slipping deeper into mental illness and sociopathy. It's they're fine with it as long as they keep the sweaty, febrile MAGA masses happy and keep their jobs."

Just hours before pop singer Taylor Swift will be attending the Super Bowl to watch her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, play for the Kansas City Chiefs, Donald Trump lashed out at her and called her "disloyal."

Swift, who has become a bête noire for conservatives over fears she may endorse President Joe Biden — and because they occasionally have to see her briefly during Chiefs' games — has apparently gotten deep inside the former president's head too which likely led to the Truth Social attack.

According to the former president, he had a major hand in making her phenomenally rich.

"I signed and was responsible for the Music Modernization Act for Taylor Swift and all other Musical Artists. Joe Biden didn’t do anything for Taylor, and never will," he wrote.

"There’s no way she could endorse Crooked Joe Biden, the worst and most corrupt President in the History of our Country, and be disloyal to the man who made her so much money. Besides that, I like her boyfriend, Travis, even though he may be a Liberal, and probably can’t stand me!" he added.

Pouncing on Donald Trump's boast to a South Carolina crowd that he would encourage Russia to invade NATO countries at will if they don't contribute enough to the organization, MSNBC host Jen Psaki suggested his latest words should give even Republicans pause.

Sharing a clip of the four-times indicted Trump telling the rally crowd, "NATO was busted until I came along. I said, ‘Everybody’s gonna pay.’ They said, ‘Well, if we don’t pay, are you still going to protect us?’ I said, ‘Absolutely not.’ They couldn’t believe the answer.”

He then added “one of the presidents of a big country” asked him whether the US would still defend their country if they were invaded by Russia even if they “don’t pay.” Trump recalled, "No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You got to pay. You got to pay your bills.”

Noting the former president's longtime vendetta against NATO, Psaki explained, "Now look, he says a lot of stuff, but that's the Republican frontrunner for the president of the United States signaling to the Kremlin that he will give them a free hand to invade their European neighbors if he's given a second term."

She continued, "And as commander-in-chief, he would have the United States stand back and watch it happen. Let's be clear about what that would mean: any attack on a NATO ally would trigger a massive show of force by its members across the world. That's because under Article 5, an attack on one is considered an attack on all."

"Just take it from the NATO secretary general who responded to Trump's comments with this, quote, 'Any suggestion that allies will not defend each other undermines all of our security, including that of the U.S. and puts American and European soldiers at increased risk.'"

"Donald Trump is not only saying he wouldn't come to the defense of a NATO ally, he is inviting Russia to attack them," she added. "I cannot tell you how terrifying that type of language is for our allies sitting and listening to what he's saying and also how happy it must make Vladimir Putin."

A right-wing pundit insisted there was a chance that Taylor Swift could perform at Donald Trump's inauguration if he is re-elected as president.

Turning Point USA ambassador Debra Lea made the suggestion during a Sunday discussion about Swift on Newsmax.

During an appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press," Joe Biden's re-election campaign co-chair Mitch Landrieu cut off host Kristin Welker when she tried to equate Joe Biden with Donald Trump as threats to the nation's security.

Asked on to talk about the report from special counsel Robert Hur about government documents Biden handed back to the government after Trump's Mar-a-Lago was raided by the FBI.

"Just to be very clear, the report didn't say he [Biden] wasn't engaged in any wrongdoing," the Meet the Press host stated. "In fact, it was quite firm in the fact that he mishandled classified documents, he just wasn't indicted and criminally charged. But let me follow up with you --."

"But Kristen, wait. No, no, no, no no. You can't — I'm not going to accept that premise," Landrieu interrupted. "In an investigation, a special counsel determines based on the facts and the law about whether somebody engaged in criminal wrongdoing and he found out that the president did. As a matter of fact, he's the only special counsel that's been engaged in this kind of activity that had to say that he could not indict somebody, and that is a fact and so that's the big takeaway from this report from a legal perspective."

"From a legal perspective, that is absolutely right," Welker replied. "He said he was not going to indict."

"Because he didn't have the law and the facts to do it," her guest added.

"Well, right, but he did say that classified documents were mishandled and he said that national security could have been jeopardized, but let me ask you this --," she continued.

"But, Kristen, he didn't say national security — no ma'am, I'm sorry — he didn't say national security was compromised and you just heard from the secretary of national security —," Landrieu protested.

"He said it could have been," the NBC host interrupted.

"But it was not, and the facts and the law suggested that the president was not engaged in criminal activity," he replied before adding, "To be distinguished between the former president who right now has 91 felony counts pending against him in four different cases. So let's just keep the facts right and let's not make false comparisons between the two which people, unfortunately, do a lot of these days."

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley seemed to forget the date of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, moments after calling for mental fitness tests for presidential candidates.

During a Sunday interview on CBS, Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan noted that Haley was pushing the cognitive tests.

Asked about Donald Trump's attack on former South Carolina Nikki Haley's husband during a campaign rally on Saturday, Republican Party campaign strategist Scott Jennings spewed a string of obscenities on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday morning.

On Saturday Trump spoke of Major Mark Haley, stating: "Then she comes over to see me at Mar-a-Lago. ‘Sir, I will never run against you.’ She brought her husband. Where’s your husband? Oh, he’s away. He’s away. What happened to her husband? What happened to her husband? Where is he? He’s gone! He knew. He knew."

With host Tapper noting that Haley's husband is serving a one-year tour of duty in Africa with the South Carolina National Guard, Jennings jumped right into the fray.

"Haley is not with his wife because he is serving his country in Africa, where they are fighting terrorism," Tapper prompted his guest.

"He's an a**hole," Jennings shot back.

"You're talking about Trump, to be clear?" the CNN host interjected.

"It will not be the first time he's been an a**hole or the last time he'll be an a**hole, that's what it is," Jennings exclaimed.

"And some people like it people will slough it off. This is a tough political campaign. The man is serving the United States in uniform overseas and it's a below-the-belt shot, against someone who is not going to beat him for the nomination."

" Joe Biden is doing everything he can to hand this election to Donald Trump and his response is to go after a guy that is serving America, and saying, I would encourage Russia to invade our allies. The political ineptitude is alone enough to be upset about."

The Republican Party of Texas’ executive committee voted Saturday to censure House Speaker Dade Phelan and passed a resolution stating that the party will not associate with antisemites — a reversal from December, when a similar measure was narrowly and controversially defeated following outcry over a major donor group’s ties to white supremacists.

The antisemitism resolution, which passed unanimously with two abstentions, came four months after The Texas Tribune reported that Jonathan Stickland, then the leader of Defend Texas Liberty, had hosted infamous white supremacist and Adolf Hitler admirer Nick Fuentes for nearly seven hours in early October.

Subsequent reporting by the Tribune uncovered other, close ties between avowed antisemites and Defend Texas Liberty, a major political action committee that two West Texas oil tycoons have used to fund far-right groups and lawmakers in the state. Defend Texas Liberty is also one of the Texas GOP’s biggest donors.

In response to the Fuentes meeting, Phelan and 60 other House Republicans called on party members to redirect any funds from Defend Texas Liberty to pro-Israel charities — demands that were initially rebuffed by some Republicans, including Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who later announced that he was reinvesting the $3 million he received from Defend Texas Liberty into Israeli bonds.

Nearly half of the Texas GOP’s executive committee also demanded that the party cut all ties with Stickland, Defend Texas Liberty and its auxiliary organizations until Stickland was removed and a full explanation for the Fuentes meeting was provided. Stickland was quietly removed as Defend Texas Liberty’s president in October, but is still the leader of an influential consulting firm, Pale Horse Strategies, that works with Defend Texas Liberty clients.

Defend Texas Liberty has yet to provide more details on its links to Fuentes or Fuentes associates — including the leader of Texans For Strong Borders, an anti-immigration group that continues to push lawmakers to adopt hardline border policies.

The tensions came to a head in December, when the Texas GOP’s executive committee narrowly defeated a resolution that would have banned the party from associating with antisemites, Holocaust deniers or neo-Nazis — language that some members of the executive committee argued was too vague, and could complicate the party’s relationship with donors or candidates.

The December measure was also opposed by Texas GOP Chair Matt Rinaldi, a longtime ally of Defend Texas Liberty who was seen outside of the one-story, rural Tarrant County office where Fuentes was being hosted. Rinaldi later denied meeting with Fuentes and condemned him. Last month, the Tribune also reported that, at the same time that he was attacking critics of Defend Texas Liberty over the Fuentes meeting, Rinaldi was working as an attorney for Farris Wilks, one the two West Texas oil billionaires who fund Defend Texas Liberty.

After the measure was defeated in December, Patrick also put out a lengthy statement in which he condemned the vote and said he expected it to be revisited by the Texas GOP’s executive committee at its next meeting.

The executive committee did as much on Saturday, passing a resolution that stated that the party “opposes anti-Semitism and will always oppose and not associate with individuals or groups which espouse anti-Semitism or support for attacks on Israel.”

The resolution’s language is significantly watered down compared to proposals from late last year, which specifically named Stickland and Defend Texas Liberty or sought to ban those who espouse — as well as those who “tolerate” — antisemitism, neo-Nazi beliefs or Holocaust denial. Since then, Defend Texas Liberty’s funders have spun off a new political action committee, Texans United For a Conservative Majority, that has been active in this year’s primaries.

Separately, the executive committee also voted 55-4 to censure Phelan over, among other things, his role in the impeachment of Attorney General Ken Paxton, his appointment of Democrats to chair House committees and for allegedly allowing a bill on border security to die in May. Phelan was not at the committee meeting.

Phelan’s spokesperson, Cait Wittman, slammed the censure on Saturday, as well as the executive committee’s previous failure to ban antisemites from the party and what she said was its delayed response to last year’s scandal involving Bryan Slaton, a Republican state representative who was expelled from the Texas House in May after getting a 19-year-old aide drunk and having sex with her.

“This is the same organization that rolled out the red carpet for a group of Neo-Nazis, refused to disassociate from anti-Semitic groups and balked at formally condemning a known sexual predator before he was ousted from the Texas House,” Wittman wrote on X. “The (executive committee) has lost its moral authority and is no longer representative of the views of the Party as a whole.”

House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) declined to defend his Republican colleagues after a failed impeachment of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

During a Sunday interview on Fox News, host Maria Bartiromo reflected on the failed impeachment effort.

Appearing on MSNBC early Sunday morning, former Assistant United States Attorney Andrew Weissmann claimed U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida Judge Aileen Cannon is in danger of having the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ask her to recuse herself from overseeing Donald Trump's obstruction of justice trial.

Speaking with the hosts of MSNBC's "The Weekend," Weissmann criticized Cannon for possibly exposing witnesses in the trial to danger as she battles special counsel Jack Smith over evidence she is demanding Smith hand over.

"So now there is this issue, with respect to divulging the name of someone who is under investigation which could interfere with a criminal investigation," he told the hosts. "We don't know about the underlying facts of that so it is somewhat guesswork."

"What I can tell, you as a — I have been in a prosecutor for many years — that does not get disclosed when you are doing an investigation," he continued. "To me, it is so reminiscent of the same problem she had during the investigation. So, if she continues this route, it will be interesting to see whether Jack Smith gets to the 11th circuit and whether they sort of politely recuse her, essentially, which happens when the circuit hears the case and basically says 'When we send this back, we think that the better course is for a different judge to hear it.'"
