President Donald Trump’s policies and public relations approach are in large part shaped by a journalist who has long had a reputation for being unreliable. “Solomon’s decades-old reputation for letting down his audience is starting to reach conservatives,” wrote The Bulwark’s Will Sommer on Thursday , referring to right-wing influencer John Solomon. “Popular conspiracy theory blog Conservative Treehouse has grown skeptical of Solomon’s promises, even adding a bolded warning label of sorts to a preview of Trump’s Thursday speech so readers wouldn’t get too excited.” Sommer quoted a popular conspiracy theory blog, Conservative Treehouse, which warned readers about Solomon by saying “caution should be noted as newly appointed Special Government Employee John Solomon is responsible for the content.” Similarly an anchor from MyPillow founder and right-wing conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell’s channel, Emerald Robinson, expressed skepticism about Solomon’s record. “LOL why would anybody trus...

Misfire: Trumper accidentally snarls commissioners’ own election data

Image
The swing state of Georgia may be one of the most important elections to help curtail President Donald Trump’s congressional power next year. But in the lead-up to the November midterms, Zeteo reports the state’s Republican-dominated election board is laboring hard to blow the results. One of their methods apparently involves Republicans’ effort to install buggy new software to challenge voters’ registration. “Recently, the State Election Board has … undertaken the unprecedented move of directly challenging the voter registration of 220 voters in Chatham County, home to Savannah and another largely Democratic bloc of voters,” reports Zeteo writer Justin Glawe. “The board utilized a software program called ‘ELLY’ to identify the voters. ELLY is the brainchild of Dr. Rick Richards, a hardcore election denier who was previously behind the EagleAI program that sought to use public databases to identify voters who may have been ineligible to vote based on address changes.” ELLY is big-ti...

Merciless Trump whistleblower roasts Karoline Leavitt's word salad

Image
President Donald Trump’s former Homeland Security chief of staff, Miles Taylor, is mocking the Republican’s current press secretary for a gaffe that arguably symbolizes the administration’s larger seeming ineptitude. Reflecting on how Karoline Leavitt said that what Trump reveals tonight "will shock you if you have an honest eye listening to the president,” Miles Taylor quipped that “yes, and if your ears watch closely, you'll be doubly stunned.” This is not Leavitt’s first faux pas. Earlier this month , while speaking with Fox News journalist Jesse Watters, the 27-year-old — who achieved her wealth by marrying a New Hampshire real estate developer who is 32 years older than her — expressed scorn for members of Generation Z that she claimed have turned to left-wing politics because they are supposedly entitled. “My generation — I hate to say it, Gen Z and those younger than me —have been raised with just silver spoons in their mouths, just getting everything handed to them,”...

Somehow Trump made us the bad guy in a fight with a 'filthy little junta': Conservative

Image
President Donald Trump is “incompetent” and has made America into the “bad guy” in its war against Iran — at least, according to a prominent conservative commentator. “In a war with a filthy little junta in Tehran, Donald Trump has managed to make the United States of America the bad guy,” wrote The Dispatch's Kevin D. Williamson on Wednesday . “If you are looking for a quick-and-easy definition of shmuck, there you go. Of course, it doesn’t help that it is an illegal and immoral war being waged by an incompetent game show host.” Describing how Trump repeatedly declares America to have won the war against Iran even though it has been “fought to an effective standstill,” Williamson pointed out that Iran “pulled off the remarkable feat of gaining a strategic asset—effective control of the Strait of Hormuz—as a result of a war in which it has not won a single engagement.” Overall, he predicted that America will be worse off economically and strategically as a result of its invasion o...

Rachel Maddow tears apart Trump’s 'clownish nonsense'

Image
Longtime MS NOW anchor Rachael Maddow said President Donald Trump is not the president he was in his last administration, after the onslaught of age and illness. “I think that he is I know this I don't say this in a way that's meant to be cheap, but I feel like he's devolved in his own ability to communicate,” Maddow told MS NOW anchor Nicole Wallace . “The Islamic Republic of Japan doesn't do it for you,” Wallace quipped. “It's shockingly bad,” Maddow continued. “But I mean, not only can he not find the words that are supposed to go together to make the nouns, he can't form a political concept. Just as an example, this housing bill, right? Republicans want one concrete policy-related thing to run on that's not taking away everybody's health insurance , right? They want something else to run on and they've got it and they get it together. And Trump realizes, ‘wait a second, that's not about me.’ And so therefore, he has to get rid of it.” “Even ...

Survey reveals the ugly difference between conservative and liberal voters

Image
President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed that any election he loses is stolen and talked about rigging the 2026 midterms so he does not lose control of either chamber of Congress. Yet a new comprehensive study reveals that Trump may have already erected long-term barriers to American democracy by playing upon a common emotion tying conservative voters together. “ A recent study in the journal Party Politics analyzed data from the 2024 American National Election Study involving more than 4,200 participants and discovered a major motivating factor uniting conservatives to vote appears to be distrust, while liberals vote the same regardless of trust issues. PsyPost reporter Eric W. Dolan elaborated on exactly what these findings reveal. “Political scientists Erin B. Fitz and Kyle L. Saunders from Colorado State University conducted the new research to better understand the relationship between election trust and political behavior,” Dolan wrote. “Their work focuses specifically o...

'Everything here is stupid': Johnson speakership on life support as Republicans revolt

Image
MS NOW reporter Mychaal Schnell says House Speaker Mike Johnson has ended one Republican revolt, but is now facing the prospect of another. “As House conservatives lifted their weekslong floor blockade on Tuesday — allowing GOP leaders to resume moving big-ticket legislation — Republicans were already bracing for another fight over a third reconciliation package,” reports Schnell. Johnson may have persuaded conservative holdouts to abandon their demand that the Senate pass the SAVE America Act before the House move any partisan legislation forward but solving that problem is already creating a new one. “Republicans are now trying to advance a reconciliation package — one designed to fund the Iran war — with a version of the SAVE America Act attached to it, exposing new divisions in the House GOP and setting up a potential standoff with the Senate,” said Schnell. Adding to the problems is the timeline , Schnell said. GOP leaders and the White House are hoping to move the package throu...
