Law and Crime reports Pulitzer Prize board members are demanding a Florida judge either force President Donald Trump to respond to their discovery demands or to shut down his Russia probe lawsuit until after his second term ends. In 2022, the ever-litigious Trump sued 19 individual members of the Pulitzer Prize Board for defamation and conspiracy because the board refused to rescind the 2018 joint awards it gave to The New York Times and The Washington Post for their coverage of Russian interference in the 2016 election. In 2024, Trump crowed premature victory when the judge overseeing the case denied the board’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit — but that dismissal was not a win. Pegg’s ruling did not even suggest the Pulitzer Board’s review of its award was flawed. Two years later, the president appears to have frozen up, having refused to produce “a single written response or document” related to discovery requested by the defendants. The Board argues that it’s gone out of its ...

MS NOW unloads devastating supercut of right-wingers mangling Trump’s Iran deal

Image
After single-handedly launching a war against Iran and ballooning U.S. inflation a desperate President Donald Trump has flailed his way into a hasty Iran War agreement that is infuriating his once beholden team of right-wing allies and news media. MS NOW host Melissa Murray had more than enough video outrage to vent on Wednesday evening, pointing out that “top MAGA and Fox News figures are not being shy about weighing in.” “They're better off than they were before the hostilities began,” one former GOP lawmaker railed on Fox News. “I hate to say this in this deal. The biggest loser is the United States and India,” said “Bolling” host Eric Bolling. “I will say that the early returns do not look wildly promising at this point,” lamented MAGA influencer Ben Shapiro. “… Let's be very clear. This is the vice president's deal. It does not have support.” “America has given up all of its leverage in this situation,” wailed another Fox News panelist. “The regime has not changed,” ...

Advisor warns beaten Trump pivoting back to his war on Americans

Image
Zeteo reporters Andrew Perez and Asawin Suebsaeng say President Donald Trump is now having to admit humiliating defeat in the war he single-handedly launched against Iran, so now he is bitterly back to focusing on ramping up attacks on fellow Americans. "As [his] failed war in Iran allegedly nears its conclusion, as a humiliating and well-deserved defeat, our authoritarian president is pivoting back to his other unsuccessful war – his assault on Americans," writes Zeteo . “... Trump’s ICE operations are surging, and so are his garbage lawsuits against protesters … One Trump adviser even explicitly told us that it was ‘a good thing’ the president was seemingly trying to wind down his war in Iran, because ‘we need to focus on the terrorists here and the problems we have at home.’” This, they say, includes American citizens who dare to protest the administration’s policies, with the administration “getting back to bringing ridiculous criminal cases against anti-Trump protest...

Trump shouldn’t bank on his big war deal saving him: report

Image
President Donald Trump is hoping that his recent memorandum of understanding with Iran will end his voluntary war and allow prices to go down — but one political analyst says he should not get his hopes up. After noting that Trump's seeming end to the war in Iran could help gas prices gradually go down, “part of Trump’s problem is that in 2024 he promised not just relief from inflation but lower living costs in absolute terms,” wrote New York Magazine political columnist Ed Kilgore on Tuesday . “In a very real sense, his Make America Great Again brand had come to mean making the pre-pandemic economy, with which he was fortuitously associated, magically reappear. And that’s a very tall order, particularly in the limited time left before the midterms.” Kilgore added that voter perceptions of a negative economy seem to be baked in, and therefore he will need to prioritize addressing cost of living concerns if he is to have even a chance of improving his political fortunes. “Even if i...

Brace yourself: Nobel Prize economist says Trump's policies surpass the Gilded Age disaster

Image
President Donald Trump’s economic policies are not just as bad as the Gilded Age, according to a Nobel Prize-winning economist . They surpass them. The Gilded Age was a period in American history from the late-19th century to the early-20th century marked by severe income inequality and political corruption. It also preceded one of the worst economic meltdowns in U.S. history. Yet this economist says the seeds of the Trump era are already worse. “Forbes did compile a list of the richest Americans,” economist Dr. Paul Krugman told MS NOW anchor Katy Tur on Tuesday. Going back to 1918, Krugman noted that “if you look at the five richest Americans then versus the 15 richest now, in both cases, that's about 1/100,000 of a percent of the population. You know, that's not the one percent. It's far, far beyond that. The top five now are substantially richer relative to the population at large, relative to the size of the economy than their counterparts were then.” For example, Spa...

Trump suffers major setback no one is talking about

Image
While some of President Donald Trump’s supporters and critics are claiming he lost America’s war against Iran, one foreign policy expert says Trump is losing a different consequential geopolitical battle — namely, America’s rivalry with China. “An uneasy quiescence has come to define U.S.-Chinese relations during U.S. President Donald Trump’s second term,” wrote Jonathan A. Czin of Foreign Affairs on Monday . “Although both governments are calling it ‘constructive strategic stability,’ U.S.-Chinese relations have been so tenuous and shallow, so lacking in ambition or any affirmative vision from either side, that it seems more apt to describe the current moment as a stalemate defined by ‘mutually assured disruption.’ Going forward, the crucial question for both sides will be who is making better use of this interregnum.” Czin went on to explain that the Chinese government sees the ongoing stalemate as a victory because China has positioned itself as America’s peer on the global stage....

Veteran reporter reveals: Trump and allies are terrified

Image
Zeteo's political reporter Asawin Suebsaeng told Thor Benson that the president may not have the best track record using the "fake it until you make it" strategy. For the veteran journalist, Donald Trump's administration challenges are growing worse than his first term. Suebsaeng told Benson, "Things have changed since he was covering Trump's first term — and not for the better." "Not just illegality ... but the tolerance for scandal within the second Trump administration is somehow markedly greater than it was during the first four years," Suebsaeng continued. "And I am not someone who looks through rose-colored glasses [regarding] the first Trump presidency." While the first Trump White House was laughably corrupt and a political joke, there's a different situation evolving in which Democrats may not hold Republicans accountable if they can win the House and Senate. "It was one of the most bats—— eras of modern American p...
