Semafor reports that while President Donald Trump is springing onto voters his disastrous invasions and equally disastrous “ceasefires ” his Republican Party is desperately trying to get it’s resume together for the midterms. Only Semafor reports that resume is still pretty thin. “Republicans are trapped in a messy fight over their pre-election agenda that will extend the longest government shutdown of all time and threatens to complicate an already tough midterm campaign,” Semafor writer Burgess Evertett said. “President Donald Trump’s party has a dizzying to-do list for the year: restore Department of Homeland Security funding, send him billions of dollars more for immigration enforcement, meet his demand for a voter ID bill, extend key surveillance powers, and replenish Pentagon coffers depleted by war in Iran.” But passing those priorities, whether or not they will resonate with voters , will require muscle from Trump, Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Th...

Melania left out this shocking detail in her Epstein speech

Image
President Donald Trump’s wife, First Lady Melania Trump, delivered an unexpected White House statement on Thursday denying her controversial links with the late convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein — yet a recent report suggests there is more to the story. “Epstein even claimed that the first time Trump slept with his now wife was on his plane, dubbed the Lolita Express ,” The Daily Beast reported . “In her statement, Melania said she had never been on his plane.” The report added, “The pedophile spoke extensively with author Michael Wolff in August 2017 for his bestseller ‘Fire and Fury,’ two years before he was found dead in his New York jail cell in 2019. Authorities say he died by suicide.” Speaking at her unexpected press conference, the First Lady denied any links to Epstein. She also claimed that her name was not mentioned in any of the documents in the Epstein Files. Some of her claims were demonstrably false. For example, in 2002 Melania Trump sent an email to Epstei...

Swing state Republicans created a fake election problem — then bungled the solution

Image
Donald Trump can never admit that he lost an election, anywhere, at any time, under any circumstance. And I’m not just talking about swing states like Georgia. Take California, for instance. In the 2024 presidential election, Trump lost California by 20 points. No shame in that, right? California is one of the most liberal states in the country, and is also the home state of his opponent, Kamala Harris. Of course Trump lost it. But according to Trump, he won California. Or rather, he lost California only because the election had been “rigged” against him. He not only won the state, he says he won it “by a lot.” In one sense such talk is so ridiculous as to be almost funny. In another sense, it has real consequences, because Republicans being Republicans, they are forced to pretend to believe whatever Trump tells them to believe. And here in Georgia, based on no more evidence than he had to claim that he won California, Trump continues to tell them that he won the state in 2020. S...

Only Trump could make America fold this fast: analysis

Image
President Donald Trump took the world’s biggest military — bigger than the militaries of the next nine nations – and used it to litter Iran with fire and destruction. Roughly one month later Trump surrendered — while claiming he’d won. Iran surrendered no enriched uranium, accepted no new U.S. military bases and made no promises to permanently reopen the pivotal Strait of Hormuz. That’s … quite the win, said New York Times Columnist David French on Bulwark’s Wednesday podcast. “The incredible reporting from my colleagues in the newsroom indicates that basically, everyone in the room was telling him, ‘Netanyahu is feeding you false hope’ that our strikes will not, in fact, result in immediate regime change in Iran,” said French. “They warned that they will not immediately topple the regime, that Iran will lash out at its enemies. Iran will lash out in the Gulf. It will do something to the Strait of Hormuz. It will not be easy to reopen if Iran does it. And [Trump] just YOLOs it ...

Trump just broke his America First promise to build his illegal ballroom

Image
President Donald Trump is importing steel to build the ballroom that a federal judge already told him is not allowed to proceed with construction — and, simultaneously, breaking a key America First promise. “President Trump has championed the U.S. steel industry, promising to strengthen it and to impose stiff tariffs on foreign metals to shield manufacturers from overseas competitors,” The New York Times reported on Wednesday . “Yet the White House has secured tens of millions of dollars worth of donated foreign steel for Mr. Trump’s $400 million ballroom project, according to two people familiar with the plans who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive and private conversations.” Specifically the White House tapped a Luxembourg-based steel maker known as ArcelorMittal to build the ballroom. While Trump has bragged that he would not charge taxpayers to build his ballroom, “the use of foreign steel for a ballroom built at the most recognizable building in the United St...
