Trump is going after Fed Chair Jerome Powell. Trump’s Department of Justice is opening a criminal investigation involving Powell — an unprecedented move threatening the Fed’s independence.
The issue concerns Powell’s congressional testimony and a Federal Reserve renovation project, but critics say the bigger problem is political pressure on an institution designed to operate free from partisan control.

If you’re wondering how far Trump will go when it comes to taking over other states and countries with a military show of power, he’s laid it out in a New York Times interview. Trump told the NYT the only constraint to his power as president of the US is “my own morality, my own mind”…“It’s the only thing that can stop me,” “I’m not looking to hurt people.” As far as following International Law, Trump said, “It depends on what your...

America is seeing the video from different angles of a woman getting shot to death by ICE. That means people know that Trump, Kristi Noem and others in the administration are not being truthful. On Truth Social, Trump wrote that the woman was being “disorderly”: “The woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her...

As Elon Musk checked out of DOGE and left government service, he promised he would be starting his own political party: the America party.
Now, it appears he is back in the fickle embrace of MAGA… and it’s no accident. According to the Washington Post, Vice President JD Vance spent much of the summer and fall working to bring Musk back into the good graces of Donald Trump.

Yesterday, the Supreme Court denied Trump’s emergency request to keep National Guard troops in Illinois. The preliminary decision may impact National Guard deployments in other states too. We will dig deeper into that ruling as we welcome presidential historian and political analyst John Rothmann ...

If Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest is any indicator, MAGA, conservatives and conspiracy theorists are no longer aligned. From so called ‘Heritage Americans’ being more important than other more recent Americans to America First policies and blatant racism/antisemitism, the speakers at the event ripped into each other. The infighting was so awkward, Erika Kirk said it “Feels like a Thanksgiving dinner where your family’s hashing out...

It may be that bad mouthing a beloved American Icon on he day he died is too much for even Trump to overcome. Usually, the public expects cruelty from Trump and his outbursts bring a collective shrug. His nasty words about actor/director Rob Reiner being killed because of Trump Derangement Syndrome seem to have been a bridge too far. Even some MAGA faithful are turning away and finding it hard to defend Trump this time. We will t...
