Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) won't be running in next year's Republican U.S. Senate primary in the battleground state of Georgia. And President Donald Trump's own team played a significant role in her coming to that decision. That's according to a Thursday article in the Wall Street Journal , which reported that Trump pollster Tony Fabrizio commissioned the poll showing Greene losing by 18 points in a hypothetical general election matchup against Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.). The paper reported that Trump was "determined to keep Greene out of the race" out of fears that she "wouldn't be competitive" in what the GOP is viewing as a must-win race . In a statement to the Journal , Greene said that Fabrizio "refused to work for me because he says he has a conflict, which means he’s working for someone against me." She also slammed consultants who worked for Trump without criticizing the president directly. READ MORE: (Opinion) The ...

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has called out her fellow Republican Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) over his opposition to President Donald Trump's "big beautiful bill." According to Lawler, the issue of the state and local tax (SALT) deduction cap has not been duly addressed during negotiations regarding the bill. He told CNN Wednesday he would vote no if the bill is not amended. Several Republicans from New York have opposed a provision in the bill related to state and local taxes. READ MORE: 'Be quiet!'

One retired federal judge is now making a dark prediction about President Donald Trump's second term based on his relationship with the federal courts and the Constitution. During a Wednesday segment on MSNBC's "Deadline: White House," former U.S. Circuit Judge J. Michael Luttig — an appointee of Republican President George H.W. Bush — told host Nicolle Wallace that Trump's threats to due process rights should be taken seriously. Wallace began the segment by pointing out that Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller was "looking at withholding habeas rights from immigrants" and that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the same during her Wednesday hearing before the House Homeland Security Committee. "I wonder what your thoughts are for how everyday people, how all of us stand up for this right before the Trump administration sort of socializes it with Trump's base, socializes it with right-wing media and then takes away a...

President Donald Trump was hoping to use a jet from Qatar's royal family as a replacement for Air Force One until its upgrades are finished. But a new estimate suggests that he may have to consider a different plan altogether. NBC News reported Tuesday that the 13 year-old 747 jet — which is valued at roughly $400 million — would have to undergo significant and costly upgrades before it will be deemed suitable for presidential travel. The outlet cited multiple aviation experts who said that the total price tag could end up exceeding $1 billion and that the upgrade process may not be complete until 2029, when Trump's second and final term in office ends. "You’re taking a 747, disassembling it, reassembling it, and then jacking it up to a very high level," commercial and military aviation consultant Richard Aboulafia told NBC. He also pointed out that because the royal jet would need to be fully deconstructed to ensure the safety of the president, the contract wou...

One conservative journalist now believes that it's up to the American people to decide how much of President Donald Trump's "corrupt" behavior they're willing to tolerate. During an appearance on Tuesday's episode of MSNBC's "Deadline: White House," commentator Charlie Sykes said that Trump's acceptance of a $400 million luxury jet from Qatar's royal family should represent a major turning point for the American public. When responding to host Nicolle Wallace's point that Trump was trying to assert that it was okay for "real men" to "cheat," "lie" and "grift" to achieve their goals Sykes said that American voters should view that as a sharp reversal of everything they've been told about right and wrong. "This is not about Donald Trump. It's about us, because it is so flagrant," Sykes said. "What Donald Trump is saying is, yeah, this is corrupt. I am accepting bribes....
