A prominent conservative commentator expressed outrage at his fellow Republicans, who he described as “monkeys,” for helping to create President Donald Trump.“A few Republican senators have been making a little noise about the Trump administration’s supposed deal — the agreement to seek an agreement — with Iran,” wrote Kevin D. Williamson in The Dispatch. “Apparently, there are some in Congress who believe that Congress should have some input here. That’s cute.”Williamson explained that Trump declared the Iran war illegally by not receiving congressional appr

Intelligencer columnist Ed Kilgore says Republicans derived a benefit from chaining themselves to President Donald Trump over the last decade, but they are definitely not the party to envy anymore. If anything, they're living "a total nightmare."“[The year] 2026 has been even worse for [Sen.] John Thune (R-S.D.) and his GOP colleagues,” wrote Kilgore. “Senate Republicans began the year absolutely secure in their majority, thanks to a very favorable landscape and insane amounts of money. Now that majority is in real peril. The congressional GOP is totally dependent on Trump, and he see

President Donald Trump is gradually eroding Republican support in a crucial swing state — indeed, the so-called “Keystone State” itself.“Michael Pace likes his Republican congressman, yet he is almost certain to vote for his Democratic challenger,” reported CNN’s John King as he surveyed Pennsylvanians in advance of the 2026 midterm elections. He quoted Pace saying that “Trump is the problem that I see. The president is not doing what I think a president should be doing, and that's disturbing to me.” For that reason, Pace argued, he will oppose even a Republican politician he normally likes because he does not want that person to support Trump.King also reviewed rising gas prices, frust

After single-handedly launching a war against Iran and ballooning U.S. inflation a desperate President Donald Trump has flailed his way into a hasty Iran War agreement that is infuriating his once beholden team of right-wing allies and news media.MS NOW host Melissa Murray had more than enough video outrage to vent on Wednesday evening, pointing out that “top MAGA and Fox News figures are not being shy about weighing in.”“They're better off than they were before the hostilities began,” one former GOP lawmaker railed on Fox News.“I hate to say this in this deal. The biggest loser is the United States and

Zeteo reporters Andrew Perez and Asawin Suebsaeng say President Donald Trump is now having to admit humiliating defeat in the war he single-handedly launched against Iran, so now he is bitterly back to focusing on ramping up attacks on fellow Americans."As [his] failed war in Iran allegedly nears its conclusion, as a humiliating and well-deserved defeat, our authoritarian president is pivoting back to his other unsuccessful war – his assault

One of President Donald Trump’s closest allies, far right activist Laura Loomer, admitted on Wednesday that she had been seemingly tricked by the Russian government.“When I was deplatformed, and when my election was rigged because the Big Tech social media companies wouldn't allow me to have access to social media, RT started reaching out to me and asking me to come on their show,” Loomer said, referring to her failed Florida congressional run (about which there was no evidence of fraud) and the Russian state-sponsored television network. “And they said, why don't you have a byline on RT? And you can even write for RT?”Loomer claims she never took money from RT but appreciated that they allowed her to appear on their network. Yet even though she

Michael Wolff, the longtime biographer of President Donald Trump, is preparing for the Commander in Chief’s “demise,” he announced on Wednesday. While Wolff asserted that he’s on “a literal deathwatch, as the 80-year-old, obese, sleepless, unfit man, consuming his mortal fast-food diet and overdose of aspirin, seems to do everything possible to kill himself,” he’s also referring to the “downfall” of Trump’s political movement.“Donald Trump’s end is going to happen,” Wolff declared. “We’re seeing it now. Below the surface of his anger, threats, and bloviation, it’s all coming apar

Podcaster Joe Rogan claimed on Wednesday that he was previously targeted by American presidents for spreading COVID-19 misinformation, although he declined to name names.“Thank God I was on Spotify and thank God Spotify is not an American company,” Rogan said on Wednesday. “And also it helped that I was number one in, like, 90 countries and not number 90 in one country, you know? That helped. That helped a lot.”He also said that presidents and former presidents were involved and contacted his employer, Spotify, a Swedish streaming service.“I can’t even talk about it but th
