Anonymous sources speaking with Zeteo report President Donald Trump is getting increasingly angry with his failure in Iran and is looking to do something — anything — to move things along, regardless of the violence or the consequences. “Two senior Trump administration officials and two other sources briefed on the situation tell Zeteo that Donald Trump has grown increasingly frustrated by the state of peace talks with Iran, and the president has ordered an acceleration of the Pentagon’s preparation for a new phase of his war in the Middle East,” said Zeteo writers Asawin Suesaeng and Andrew Perez. “Trump’s war fever is back,” one of the senior administration officials said this week, adding that the administration is ready to “ramp up the war again within the coming days, after the U.S. president returns from his state visit in China, should Trump give the order to strike.” Additionally, the sources say Trump has not completely ruled out high-risk operations that could get Americans...

Trump's DOJ just opened the door to Dem retaliation

Image
President Donald Trump’s Justice Department (DOJ) is asking the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia to allow it to take security clearances away from law firms that accept cases with which they disagree — even though that same precedent could empower future Democratic presidents to persecute Republican law firms. “The DOJ returned to court Thursday and told the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit that President Donald Trump's executive orders to strip elite law firms of security clearances and tear up their government contracts must be revived, even if that means a Democrat eventually comes into power and deems MAGA lawyers enemies of the state,” reported Law and Crime on Thursday . “Chief U.S. Circuit Judge Sri Srinivasan, U.S. Circuit Judge Cornelia Pillard and U.S. Circuit Judge Neomi Rao — two appointees of Barack Obama and a lone Donald Trump appointee, respectively — formed the three-judge panel in a case the DOJ was prepared to drop in Ma...

Republicans are in freefall —and there's no way to stop it

I do the cooking in the family, so I’m also the guy who shops for the groceries. Truth is, I like doing both just fine, because sitting down for a good meal is one of life’s underrated treats. When I was done this morning corralling the goods at the local market that I hoped would get us through a few day’s worth of semi-fine dining, I aimed my shopping cart into an empty checkout line and started offloading my supplies. Experienced shoppers will know that there’s nothing like the privilege of scooting into an empty line at the grocery store. Better yet, this welcoming aisle was being staffed by one of my favorite cashiers, Betty. All signs were pointing to a better-than-average day. As I greeted Betty, and put the last of my stuff — the breakable items — on the conveyor belt, she asked with a smile if I’d found everything OK. Salty grocery-store navigator that I am, I told her I had, but with things so slow in the place, decided to make the opportunity for some small talk while drivi...

Trump reaching for world's 'richest family' status by 2028: expert

Image
President Donald Trump and his family are using the White House to make the Trump family “the richest on the planet by the time the president’s term is over,” warned MS NOW correspondent Jonathan Lemire on Wednesday. ‘Donald Trump Jr. has been quoted in media reports saying that his goal is for the Trump family to be the richest on the planet by the time the president's term is over,” Lemire told MS NOW anchor Katy Tur on Wednesday while discussing the first people to disembark Air Force One in China. “It is telling that Eric Trump and his wife Lara Trump were among the first off the plane. And I will say, at least in that initial wave of officials who came down the front steps of Air Force One, I didn't see the Secretary of State. I didn't see the Secretary of Defense. I did see a couple of CEOs, and I certainly saw the Trump family — which I think is a fitting symbol of a family that, in the first term, did put up a few minor barriers and did try to have a few restrictio...

'Don’t rig our map': White House effort backfires as ruby red state rejects Trump plan

COLUMBIA — The Senate on Tuesday rejected a push to redraw the state’s congressional lines just weeks before the primaries, with GOP leaders saying it’s legally unnecessary and wrong for South Carolina. Senators’ 29-17 vote fell short of the two-thirds majority approval needed to proceed. Officially, senators refused to add redistricting to a resolution setting the rules for what the Legislature can do after the session ends Thursday. That’s despite pressure from President Donald Trump, who called GOP senators personally over the last week and publicly prodded the majority caucus through his social media platform. “I’m watching closely, along with all Republicans across the Country who are counting on their Elected Leaders to use every Legal and Constitutional authority they have to stop the Radical Left Democrats from destroying our Country,” the president wrote Monday night on Truth Social . But Senate Majority Leader Shane Massey said legislators need to stand up for what’s best fo...

Republicans deploy ground troops in the states to execute 'the plan'

Image
President Donald Trump and the Republican Party are planning on sending troops to polling places during the 2026 midterm elections, according to a recent report by The New Republic. “The Republican National Committee announced Tuesday that it has deployed poll watchers and election observers in at least 17 states for the midterm elections,” The New Republic’s Hafiz Rashid reported on Tuesday. “In a post on X, RNC Chairman Joe Gruters posted an audio clip where he said, ‘We’ve already deployed field staff and we’ve hired state directors and election integrity directors.’” Although Gruters did not specify which states he was targeting, he made it clear that this is part of the GOP’s plan to retain control of Congress during the 2026 midterm elections. “We focus on the big picture,” Gruters said. “We focus on winning. We have a plan. We’re executing the plan.” As Rsahid reported, Trump himself has said he is considering sending the National Guard and ICE to voting locations in November....

DC insider reveals what he just heard about the plot to oust Trump

I had dinner recently with a group of political operatives — sophisticated people who for years have been advising politicians and candidates. During dinner they shared with me their fantasy, which they gave 30 percent odds of becoming a reality within the next four months. In my dinner companions’ fantasy, Trump’s failed war will elevate gas and food prices so high and long that much of the Republican base will begin turning against Trump. And Trump’s mental problems will become even more obvious. Faced with all this, JD Vance promises Marco Rubio that he’ll appoint him vice president if Rubio joins Vance in seeking to oust Trump under the 25th Amendment.* Rubio agrees. Vance and Rubio then approach House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune for confidential discussions in which they broach the possibility. Johnson and Thune give Vance and Rubio their tacit support. Vance and Rubio then get Pete Hegseth to sign on, promising Hegseth that he’ll keep his job. They...
