DOJ civil rights chief unloads on MAGA influencers in profane social media meltdown

Harmeet Dhillon, the Justice Department’s assistant attorney general for civil rights, ignited a firestorm Sunday night after lashing out at MAGA influencers who criticized the Trump administration, repeatedly hurling vulgar insults and dismissing them as profiteers spreading “bulls---.” The extraordinary tirade came as Dhillon faced backlash from her own supporters over her failure to act on alleged election fraud claims, prompting critics to accuse her of inaction despite her powerful DOJ role. Rather than defuse the situation, Dhillon escalated, branding critics “hoes” and “useful idiots,” stunning even some conservatives and triggering warnings from right-wing commentators that her attacks risk alienating Trump’s base ahead of the 2026 midterms.

Trump voters won't face the 'dark truth' about their hero as the walls close in: columnist

Mounting evidence suggests Donald Trump maintained closer ties to convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein than he has publicly claimed, setting the stage for reckoning among his supporters.

According to Salon columnist Amanda Marcotte, Trump's heated response during the holiday weekend to the release of one million additional Epstein-related pages indicates genuine concern. The president's defensive reactions, including accusations directed at Democrats, suggest anxiety about the documents' contents.

Trump supporters may face difficult questions as new information emerges. However, many remain heavily invested in defending the president, potentially limiting their willingness to confront inconvenient facts as scrutiny intensifies.

Citing the president’s “erratic behavior — desperately grasping for any distraction he can throw at his base, leading to the pathetic blitz of ‘look over there!’-style Truth Social posts,” the columnist wrote, “he likely worries, for good reason, they won’t continue to embarrass themselves by denying every round of Epstein stories being released about him.”

Trump wants to fill lower federal courts with MAGA loyalists — but he’s hitting a snag

After returning to the White House 11 months ago, President Donald Trump not only made a concerted effort to fill his administration, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI with MAGA loyalists — he also pushed for far-right judges to be confirmed for the lower federal courts.

But according to HuffPost reporter Jennnifer Bendery, Trump's push for MAGA-friendly federal judges is encountering a bump in the road: fewer retirements.

Right-leaning podcaster tells GOP to ‘kiss 2028 goodbye’ due Trump admin incompetence

Libertarian podcaster and political commentator Clint Russell put Vice President JD Vance on notice Sunday that Republicans will be forced to “kiss 2028 goodbye” if the Trump administration didn’t “get to f------ work,” and soon.

Russell’s remarks come amid a MAGA backlash over the administration’s fixation on an alleged large-scale fraud scheme in Minnesota, which Trump supporters have dismissed as performative. In response to one of Vance’s several social media posts about the alleged scheme, Russell warned that without swift action from the Trump administration, the GOP risked a major electoral defeat next year.

MAGA hosts Gina Loudon and Emily Finn agreed that Black Americans did not have the right to criticize President Donald Trump's bombing of Nigeria over the holidays.

Trump is giving 'the game away' by keeping the Epstein story alive: conservative analyst

Donald Trump’s latest attempt to blame the Jeffrey Epstein files on Democrats as a hoax is a curious tactic that is now hurting him more than helping him, a conservative journalist remarked on MS NOW on Monday morning.

Appearing on “Morning Joe,” David Drucker of The Dispatch was asked about Trump’s Christmas holiday Truth Social posts, where he melted down over a report of a million more documents related to the convicted sex trafficker and claimed, “The Dems are the ones who worked with Epstein, not Republicans. Release all of their names, embarrass them and get back to helping our country!”
