A firebrand candidate for governor of Florida who has become infamous for white supremacist antics is being targeted by a lawsuit from one of his opponents to throw him off the ballot — but even some MAGA commentators who oppose that candidate are lashing out over the move.

Earlier this week, Florida Lt. Gov. Jay Collins announced a lawsuit against Republican hedge fund manager James Fishback, who is seeking to replace outgoing Gov. Ron DeSantis, alleging he has not met the constitutional eligibility requirements.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) attempted an end-run strategy to pass President Donald Trump's anti-voting-rights SAVE America Act through Congress — only for a contingent of Republicans to block it and deal him a fresh humiliation. And MS NOW commenters were quick to react.

" Mike Johnson just tried to get the SAVE America Act through the House," said anchor Katy Tur, quoting Punchbowl News' Jake Sherman that it "went down in flames" and turning to reporter Mychael Schnell. "What exactly happened?"

President Donald Trump is "too mentally feeble" to hold office and a "crazy, stalker-ish" aide has effectively taken control of the West Wing, former RNC spokesperson Cheri Jacobus said.

Jacobus made the comments on her Tuesday YouTube show, Politics with Cheri Jacobus, about Natalie Harp, 34, an aide to Trump since 2022 who became his executive assistant when he took office in January 2025.

A Louisiana Republican sparked ridicule on social media Tuesday when he tried to brag about the number of attendees at President Donald Trump's Great American State Fair while pointing to a nearly empty National Mall on live TV.

Gov. Jeff Landry, a frequent Fox News guest, became the latest figure pulled into the mockery surrounding Trump's fair after he gushed about the turnout on the National Mall.

As the Supreme Court handed down a landmark ruling on the last day of its term protecting birthright citizenship and invalidating a signature policy of President Donald Trump's administration, Justice Clarence Thomas took a swipe at the majority in his dissent, stunning legal experts with an argument that would have effectively rewritten 14th Amendment protections out of the Constitution for millions of people.

But Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson went out of her way in her concurrence with Chief Justice John Roberts' majority opinion to demolish Thomas' argument — and in particular, point out that he was talking out of both sides of his mouth on how to interpret constitutional rights.

While the Supreme Court narrowly ruled against President Donald Trump's attempt to eliminate birthright citizenship, the way the justices actually split their votes carried a disturbing message of its own, attorney and former United Nations delegate Andrew Weinstein warned on Tuesday.

On Tuesday, four of the Supreme Court's nine justices indicated they did not believe Trump's effort to overturn birthright citizenship – a right explicitly enshrined in the 14th Amendment – was unconstitutional. While the court ultimately rejected Trump’s case for why he should be allowed to eliminate a constitutionally protected right, the vote tally was nonetheless disturbing, Weinstein argued.

Daily Wire podcaster Matt Walsh was on the receiving end of a legal and personal beatdown over a panicked response to the Supreme Court upholding birthright citizenship on Tuesday.

While Republican members of Congress were waving the bloody flag over Donald Trump’s courtroom loss with promises of legislative action, Walsh hit the panic button over “foreign invaders” flocking “across our borders” to “spawn,” and urged a crackdown on immigrants, no matter the legality.

Internal financial documents reveal that the contractor running President Trump's flagship $1 billion self-deportation initiative, Project Homecoming, came within weeks of running out of money entirely.

A burn-rate dashboard dated May 7 and shared with the Department of Homeland Security projected that Salus Worldwide Solutions, the company managing the program, would hit "burnout" — the point of total fund depletion — by May 26, reported The Daily Beast's PunchUp.

Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI) accused White House budget director Russ Vought of dodging repeated questions about whether USAID funding cuts have killed people.

The clash unfolded at a House Appropriations subcommittee hearing this week, where Vought, who leads the Office of Management and Budget, testified on the agency's budget.
