Left Hook host Wajahat Ali and podcaster Danielle Moodie say President Donald Trump’s people — and the media — is struggling to hide the president’s obvious decline before cameras as a startled nation looks on. “We recently witnessed a public official, Marco Rubio, testify before Congress that a prominent political figure ‘never sleeps’ and is a dynamo of nocturnal productivity,” said Ali. “Minutes later, he was confronted with video evidence from a cabinet meeting showing that very same figure slumped over, eyes tightly shut, completely asleep while Rubio himself was speaking.” “The response? Universal, unabashed gaslighting,” said Ali. “We are told he was ‘blinking.’ We are told he was ‘resting his eyes. The sheer contrast between the treatment of former president Joe Biden and Trump is staggering, said Ali, highlighting “a massive structural double standard.” “The Past Standard: A single stumble, a momentary verbal hitch, or an aging pivot from a conventional politician triggers m...

Final straw: Insiders say 'drained' Susie Wiles finally jumping Trump’s ship

Image
Sources told Daily Mail on Friday that ‘Ice Maien’ Susie Wiles — President Donald Trump’s most loyal staff member — is finally melting, reports Daily Mail. “Donald Trump's White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles is preparing to leave, five insiders have told the Daily Mail. Wiles, 69, has worked for the president since his first campaign in 2015 and, following his November 2024 second election victory, has held the top chief of staff role in his White House.” But now, reports the Daily Mail, Trump's “right-hand woman – who he has nicknamed his 'Ice Maiden' – is quietly planning her exit after November's midterm elections, notably frustrated by the President's recent Cabinet appointments,” according to sources. When asked by the Daily Mail, Wiles did not deny that she plans to quit, but she rejected claims that it was tension with the President and his recent appointments driving her toward the exits. However, allegedly grinding Wiles’ gears is Trump’s appointm...

Judge tosses Kennedy Center lawsuit against artist who canceled over Trump’s name

Image
A judge on Friday tossed out a lawsuit brought by the Kennedy Center against an artist who withdrew from a performance after the organization’s board voted to add President Donald Trump’s name to the venue, The Washington Post reports. The artist, jazz musician Chuck Redd, pulled out over what he called “the defiant and illegal name change happening to the Kennedy Center,” according to the Post. But, as D.C. Superior Court Judge Tanya Jones Bosier found, Kennedy Center officials had not made a legally binding agreement with Redd, and there could be no breach of contract claim as a result. “There’s no dispute that he did not sign the 2025 agreement,” the judge said. In a statement, Redd’s attorney, Lisa Banks, said Redd had been sued “because he publicly and rightly objected to adding Donald Trump’s name to the Kennedy Center, a living memorial to former President John F. Kennedy.” Banks called the lawsuit “political retribution, pure and simple, by the Trump Kennedy Center,” and sai...

Republican lawmaker launches $250 million ploy to help Trump rig elections

Image
A House Republican is drafting legislation to try to bypass Senate rules and advance President Donald Trump’s push to require enhanced voter identification. The bill would cost taxpayers $250 million over five years. According to Politico , U.S. Rep. Julie Fedorchak (R-ND) is working on the “SAVE America Through REAL ID Act,” which would provide funds for lower-income voters to obtain a REAL ID, while encouraging states to require a REAL ID to vote. “In order to address that one issue, we’ve created this grant program for states to use to help people who meet the income qualifications … to be able to get a free REAL ID,” Fedorchak told Politico. Fedorchak hopes the $250 million price tag will make the legislation eligible to pass in the Senate under the reconciliation process, which requires only a simple majority — thus potentially bypassing the need for any Democratic votes. Fedorchak’s bill would be “an alternative to the proof-of-citizenship and voter-ID mandates in the original ...

Critics drag Trump’s 'graph' of blued-up reflecting pool

Image
During a Wednesday press conference, President Donald Trump could not wait to announce that crews will begin refilling the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool after spending over a month resurfacing it with "American flag blue" sealant. But what caught hecklers was the moment Trump pulled out a poster in the Oval Office comparing the size of the reflecting pool to that of some of the largest buildings in the U.S., as if the investment he put on U.S. taxpayers’ had done anything to extend the length of the pool—or that a rectangular water-filled hole could compare to the girders, architecture and design that goes into the Empire State Building of the World Trade Center. “He has to pump up those rookie numbers,” offered on critic on X , who posted an augmented graph containing a much longer, red bar labeled “My gas bill” alongside Trump’s blue reflecting pool. “Most un-math graph ever!” quipped another critic. Many others included simple “head slap” emojis, while another said o...

A group of Trump billionaires just took a shocking loss

Image
President Donald Trump has close ties to Silicon Valley billionaires, relying on them to shape policy on everything from waging war against Iran and deregulating cryptocurrency to paving the way for rampant AI in American society. “Multiple candidates backed heavily by Big Tech executives floundered in Tuesday’s primary elections, as concerns about the corrosive effects of new technologies such as artificial intelligence tools continue to mount,” reported MS NOW’s Ja’han Jones on Wednesday . “The clearest examples came in California, where tech executives spent ungodly amounts of money attempting to make sure their chosen candidates emerged victorious.” Jones listed examples of how this happened including in the California gubernatorial primary, during which San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan went down to humiliating defeat despite being funded by tech executives like Google co-founder Sergey Brin and pro-Trump Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale. Jones also cited Ethan Agarwal, a tech investor w...
