President Donald Trump is waging political warfare against Indiana Republicans who did not vote for gerrymandering — but he is meeting opposition from members of his own party. “Even though Indiana state Senate leader Rodric Bray isn’t on anyone’s primary ballot next week, he is the ultimate target of President Donald Trump’s demand for political retribution,” the Indiana Capital Chronicle reported on Thursday . “Seven Republican senators who voted in December against redrawing Indiana’s U.S. House district maps are facing Trump-endorsed challengers backed by millions of dollars in spending by national pro-redistricting groups.” Bray, who spoke with the Chronicle about the subject, expressed disappointment with the president’s actions. “It was a very, very challenging session in December, and those votes were hard, and the folks that voted against it, I know, are now under a massive attack from Washington, D.C, and elsewhere in the nation,” Bray told the Chronicle. “I just would hate ...

Ex-official: Trump's Iran proposals are too treacherous to implement

Image
President Donald Trump's plans for the Iran war are "unraveled" and too treacherous "for reality," warned the Republican leader's former Homeland Security chief of staff. The conversation began when MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace asked Miles Taylor, who worked for Trump during his first term, about the president's Iran war options. "One involves a mission that, based on the Axios reporting, involves sending special forces in to dismantle, destroy, or steal the enriched uranium," Wallace asked. "I mean, that sounds like a riskier military operation than anything that's been contemplated to date. The other is to take over part of the Strait of Hormuz — there's a blockade of a blockade that doesn't seem to be going very well, so that's an escalation of something we're not exactly crushing." Wallace added, "And the other is to bomb their infrastructure, which goes very close to the line that Donald Trump telegraphe...

Nicolle Wallace: Even Trump's supporters are turned off by his latest move

Image
President Donald Trump is abusing his power to persecute political opponents, but at least one recent effort was so transparently absurd that even a major Trump supporter could not get behind it. Reporting for MS NOW on Wednesday, anchor Nicolle Wallace pointed out that Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s indictment of former FBI Director James Comey is being widely mocked, even by conservatives otherwise inclined to back the president. In the indictment , Blanche claimed that Comey threatened Trump’s life because he “publicly posted a photograph on the internet social media site Instagram which depicted seashells arranged in a pattern making out ‘86 47’, which a reasonable recipient who is familiar with the circumstances would interpret as a serious expression of an intent to do harm to the President of the United States.” Much to Wallace’s surprise Jonathan Turley, who defended Trump against his first impeachment attempt and has repeatedly backed his controversial legal moves,...

Former FBI agent confesses he’s 'very afraid' Trump will target him for being a critic

Image
Former Assistant Special Agent in Charge with the FBI Michael Feinberg says he has no reason to feel safe that President Donald Trump won’t send his politicized Department of Justice after him with a bogus and expensive prosecution as he already has with former FBI director James Comey. “As to whether I'm worried. Yeah, of course I'm worried on a lot of levels,” Feinberg told MS NOW Anchor Nicole Wallace. “This is an administration that comes after critics, and … I'm in the position of being a critic.” Feinberg made his confession after former DOJ Pardon Attorney Elizabeth Oyer admitted publicly that she, too, feared legal persecution by the vindictive president. “On a personal note, … I'm worried for myself. I mean, I've had a security incident at my home after I left the department. That was very worrisome. And the idea that I don't know that the justice department or the FBI is a place that I could turn for help because of the people who are in charge ...

Republicans break ranks: Unified GOP denounces Trump's 'terrible' fourth bailout

Image
Semafor reports that it isn’t just a smattering of Republicans who are trashing President Donald Trump’s proposed bailout of Spirit Airlines. It’s a united front — and they’re furious. “It’s horses-——,” Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., told Semafor of Trump’s proposal of forcing taxpayers to invest $500 million in the failing company. “My God: 10 percent stake in Intel, 5 to 10 percent stakes in three or four mining companies, ‘golden share’ of US Steel — and now a half-a-billion-dollar stake in Spirit Airlines.” Trump spent the brunt of his second term bending congressional Republicans to his will, but his iron gripe appears to stop at bailing out Spirit. Less than a week after Trump claimed his administration was “thinking about” buying a stake in the company, nearly a dozen GOP lawmakers — ranging from moderates to conservatives and from rank-and-file lawmakers to party leaders— told Semafor they either opposed or hated the plan. “This would be a really bad idea. I don’t think you wa...

WSJ conservative warns GOP to stop attacking the Secret Service

Image
Some conservatives are blaming the Secret Service for the seeming attempted assassination of President Donald Trump on Saturday — but one Wall Street Journal columnist is not having any of it. “One conservative called the Secret Service’s handling of security an ‘unmitigated failure,’” wrote The Wall Street Journal’s William McGurn on Monday , who also reported on how mainstream media outlets like The Washington Post covered the story. “Others complain about ‘lax security.’ The Washington Post reported that ‘the Trump administration provided a lower level of security for the White House correspondents’ dinner than it has for other gatherings of high-ranking officials.’ Attendees have reported being waved in to the building with barely a showing of their ticket—though the security perimeter around the ballroom held.” He added, “The second-guessing has only begun, and it’s becoming wrapped up with other issues. On his X account, Chairman James Comer of the House Oversight Committee n...
