A Republican senator who President Donald Trump recently threw under the bus is now throwing a top Trump official’s words back in his face — and over an issue that economically impacts every American. “I recall Secretary Rubio saying that would not be proper for any country. Am I wrong?” Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) told NOTUS journalist Igor Bobic regarding Trump saying the United States will toll the Strait of Hormuz. Ever since Trump invaded Iran, the Strait of Hormuz has been hotly contested, with Iran’s throttling of the key waterway raising prices on essential products like oil and fertilizer for ordinary Americans. Cornyn was referring to how Trump recently announced that the United States will be the new so-called “guardian of the Hormuz Strait” and as such start collecting a 20 percent toll on ships that transit across the globally-utilized shipping route. “The Hormuz Strait is OPEN, and will remain OPEN, with or without Iran,” Trump posted on his Truth Social account. “We are r...

The reckoning coming when the MAGA sleeping giant awakens

Image
Democratic primary elections, in particular, are showing us America is both in the midst of a deep crisis and is on the verge of what could be transformational, positive, life-altering political and economic change comparable to FDR’s New Deal. It became obvious, really, in the first minute of New Year’s Day this year, when two things happened at once vividly showing us all the contrast and the crises around where America stands right now. In a long-abandoned subway station deep under lower Manhattan, progressive Democrat Zohran Mamdani was sworn in as mayor of New York City, largely on the simple promise that New York could once again become “a city we can afford.” And at that very same midnight — because Republicans refused to extend them — the enhanced Obamacare subsidies expired for more than twenty million Americans, jacking their health insurance prices overnight into stratospheric amounts that are now pushing families to skip pills, skip meals, and skip the doctor entirely. One...

The man behind Trump's personal revenge machine should not be confirmed

Image
On Wednesday, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche heads to the Senate Judiciary Committee for his confirmation hearing to become attorney general. If the rule of law means anything, the Judiciary Committee should not send Blanche’s name to the Senate for confirmation. And under no circumstances should the Senate confirm Blanche as attorney general. Blanche, who used to be Trump’s private lawyer, has treated the Justice Department as Trump’s private law firm. He still acts as though Trump — not the United States — is his client. Consider what Blanche has done for Trump, rather than for the United States. 1. Illegally suppressed the Epstein files Blanche has conceded that the Department of Justice violated the Epstein Files Transparency Act by making improper redactions in the public release of Jeffrey Epstein’s records but continues to drag his feet. Under Blanche, the department is currently battling lawsuits from journalists and demands from the state of New Mexico to unseal the unr...

Trump's 'half-hearted' and 'flimsy' new stunt perfectly sums up his huge decline

Image
President Donald Trump has touted a new initiative to try and address a major economic pain point for midterm voters , but as a new piece from MS NOW argued , it is a "half-hearted" and "flimsy stunt" that perfectly encapsulates the collapse of his presidency. Earlier this week, Trump took to Truth Social to tout "Freedom Fuel," a network of 25 gas stations in Pennsylvania and Southern New Jersey that would be "lowering the price at the pump to $3.47 for our 47th President." As reporter James Downie noted in a Sunday piece for MS NOW, the post and an accompanying video were meant to give viewers "the impression that the administration, whether through subsidy or takeover, was directly intervening to lower gas prices ." It remains unclear at this time who is actually behind the Freedom Fuel locations and how they are managing to lower prices at their pumps. The only information available about its incorporation, per materials from the D...

Trump is screaming about commies because he doesn't want you to know something

Image
President Donald Trump is a desperate man. With the midterms on the horizon and his approval ratings under water, he doesn’t want to talk about affordability. Nor does he want to talk about his war with Iran. And he certainly doesn’t want to talk about Jeffrey Epstein. What does he want to talk about? Communists. Over the last two weeks, Trump has ratcheted up his overheated rhetoric in response to democratic socialists’ victories in primary elections in Colorado, New York, Washington, DC, and elsewhere. During a speech to Christian conservatives at a Faith and Freedom Coalition convention in Washington on June 26, he called democratic socialists “animals” and said, “We have to stop this horrible threat of cancer that’s permeating our country called communism.” He went on to say that the “godless” communists in the Democratic Party pose a particular risk for Christians. “They will close your churches in this country,” he warned . “They will kill your people. And that’s what they’re a...

The hidden architecture: Inside Trump's plan to reshape the midterms

Image
On Thursday, the Trump regime forced out the three remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission — effectively ending it. You need to see this as part of Trump’s overall strategy to take over the midterm elections some 90 days from now. The strategy has six parts: 1. Eliminate neutral watchdogs The small Election Assistance Commission was focused on the unglamorous but important work of election administration — helping states with testing and certification of voting systems, serving as a national clearinghouse for information on how best to administer elections, and maintaining the national mail voter registration form established by the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 . It had been created by Congress in 2002 after the Florida recount marred the 2000 presidential election and effectively pushed it into the Supreme Court to decide. In 2016, after Russia’s election interference, the commission targeted cybersecurity, supporting states as they reviewed and improved ...

Ex-RNC head says Trump's new scare tactic undone by 'history and common sense'

Image
President Donald Trump appears to be trying to revive the Cold War-era "Red Scare" with his newest line of attack against Democrats, but as one former RNC Chair wrote for MS NOW , his effort falls apart in the face of "history and common sense" — and his own administration's machinations. In the face of his own withering popularity and Democratic momentum heading into the midterms, Trump has taken to slamming his opponents as "godless communists" in various speeches, most notably his America 250 address at Mt. Rushmore. This tactic appears driven by a recent trend of self-described Democratic Socialists finding strong success in Democratic primaries in places like New York City and Colorado. "These are not mere political disagreements, like differences over taxes or regulations," Trump said. Communism is a mortal threat to American liberty. … The godless communist morality states that anything is justified to bring about inhuman visions. … ...
