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. … ...

'They're on their own': Trump shivs Republican faithful in this crucial state

Image
CNN chief national correspondent John King says Trump may have irritated U.S. voters with his refusal to sign the popular bipartisan housing bill that the Republican majority sent to his desk, but he’s done even more trouble to endangered Republicans in dicey swing districts. The state of Michigan voted to send Trump to the White House again in 2023, but now Republican legislators are having to tell constituents that their party president doesn’t appear to be in line with their needs. And all because the House and Senate GOP majority refused to change rules to pass Trump’s SAVE Act. “So is there a sensible strategy to this, or is it an unforced error on the president's part to refuse to sign a bill that could give a win to vulnerable lawmakers in his own party and, in theory, help tackle the housing affordability crisis,” CNN anchor Anderson Cooper asked King. “It would be an unforced error if the president cared to help his party,” answered King. “Even members of his own party...

White House whistleblower says Trump’s new plot against midterms already 'doomed'

Image
President Donald Trump may think he’s found a Trojan horse to seize the midterms, but security expert Miles Taylor says that horse isn’t riding off anytime soon. Trump fired all three remaining members of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission on Thursday, abruptly disabling the only federal agency devoted to election administration at a moment when the president is working to warp federal voting rules. And Taylor said a captured EAC could conceivably begin Trump’s dirty work under the direction of anti-democratic loyalists the White House plans to parachute into the commission. “What’s more, they could rewrite state-specific instructions on the voter forms to create registration traps and onerous requirements, confusing instructions, translation issues, and on and on,” Taylor reasoned. “Surely, the sycophants in Trump’s orbit are thinking of other evil ways to manipulate the EAC’s powers to steer the elections in Trump’s favor.” “[But] here’s where I get to tell you why their pla...

Comedian destroys 'League of Extraordinary Virgins' threatening the nation

Image
“Several days later and I can’t help it. It’s too funny,” said comedian John Fugelsang of white supremacist militia group, the "Patriot Front," marching through the streets of Capitol Hill on the 250th birthday of the United States . Videos showed that a few hundred men showed up with face coverings, waving Confederate flags along with American flags, including some that were inverted. But Fugelsang couldn’t get over other aspects of their appearance, calling them the “Dockers Reich; aka March of the Masked Mediocrities; aka The League of Extraordinary Virgins.” “Did you catch it? Day of the Living Incels?” asked Fugelsang on his substack. “A quarter-millennium after the US declared that all men are created equal, a few hundred masked white nationalists decided the best way to celebrate was to march through Washington, D.C., hiding their faces and waving Confederate flags. And what could be more MAGA than celebrating America’s birthday with participation trophies from the ...

Spineless Republicans finally 'bucked Trump' by accident: GOP insider

Image
Former George Bush speechwriter and GOP insider Tim Miller is quick to say how thoroughly Senate and House Republicans have surrendered Congressional power to President Donald Trump and the White House since his return to office more than a year ago. In fact, Miller says the only way the party has actually managed to stymie Trump since his return to office more than a year ago was by accident. Speaking to MS NOW anchor Jackie Alemany Miller said he found it hilarious that Trump’s enabling GOP onle recently threw Trump entirely by accident over recent legislation. “The funny thing about this for … my old people, the more mainstream kind of the old guard Republicans. Oftentimes over the years, they've said, ‘ hey, we can't buck Trump on this stuff. We can't vote against tariffs. We can't vote for Ukraine funding because Trump's too powerful. You know, we don't want to lose our seat,’ like it's a political imperative that you stick around with Trump because ...
