Trump-hating Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett left a reporter in complete disbelief after saying Republicans privately expressed admiration for her. The firebrand progressive made the stunning claim during an interview Sunday with WFAA political reporter Jason Whitely, as the 44-year-old looks fill her party's top job on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee. 'It's become clear, as I have been out in various cities throughout this country, where I've had Republicans walk up to me and tell me how much they like me,' Crockett said, after being asked about recent polling that suggests she could run for higher office in 2028.

What happens when the richest person and the most powerful politician have a knock-down, drag-out fight? The world may be about to find out. A disagreement between Elon Musk and Donald Trump started at a simmer last week, began bubbling on Wednesday and is now in full-on boil. And like everything these two men do, it is all spilling out into public view. These two men have two of the world's biggest megaphones, and they clearly enjoy using them.
An Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesperson noted a vessel carrying activists, including Greta Thunberg, was sailing toward Gaza, saying that Israel has experience “and will act accordingly.” Thunberg, 22, set sail from an Italian port on Sunday with 11 fellow activists from the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC), aboard a vessel delivering a symbolic shipment of aid to Gaza, according to The Times. “We are prepared for this case as well,” said Brigadier General Effie Defrin, the IDF spokesperson. “We’ve gained experience in recent years and will act accordingly.”

Tim Walz: Trump ‘understands belonging’
13 replies
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) argued in a recent podcast appearance that part of President Trump’s strength lies in his ability to foster a sense of community, especially among young men. The comments from Walz, former Vice President Kamala Harris’s 2024 running mate, came during an appearance on the “Grounded” podcast hosted by former Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) and journalist Maritsa Georgiou. Asked by Georgiou about the GOP’s efforts to reach high school students, Walz noted Trump has excelled in reaching Americans who might feel disconnected from one another in an increasingly fragmented society.

Prices To ‘Soar’ Crumbles Due To Positive
Economic News 6 replies
A recent Democratic ad campaign claiming President Donald Trump’s tariffs have caused prices to “soar” is undercut by recent data painting a much rosier picture of the economy than Democrats’ talking points suggest. House Majority Forward (HMF), the nonprofit arm of a House Democratic leadership-aligned super PAC, announced a series of ads Wednesday targeting 26 House Republicans for supporting the president’s tariffs, which HMF claims has caused prices to skyrocket. However, several markers of inflation fell to four-year-lows in April while Americans’ wages are rising faster than the rate of inflation, the opposite of a trend that occurred during the Biden administration.
Dr. Mehmet Oz, President Donald Trump’s administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), suggested in an interview with Politico’s Dasha Burns that the president’s “one big, beautiful bill” will not cut Medicaid. “We’re not cutting Medicaid,” Oz told Burns, adding that both his and Trump’s goal is to “save Medicaid.” The prominent administration official’s statement comes as Democrats allege that Trump’s sweeping tax and spending package would cut the six-decade-old entitlement program — and some Republican lawmakers have expressed concerns as well.

A former vice president at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts says he was fired by the organization following a CNN investigation into his previous comments on gay marriage. Floyd Brown, who served as the center’s top fundraiser for only several weeks, wrote in a social media post this week he was fired after being contacted by a CNN reporter inquiring about his comments on his personal website and other platforms criticizing homosexuality and floating conspiracy theories about former President Obama.
US President Donald Trump has issued a pardon to a former Virginia sheriff who was convicted on fraud and bribery charges. A jury found former Culpeper County Sheriff Scott Jenkins guilty of accepting more than $75,000 (£55,000) in bribes last December, in exchange for making several businessmen into law enforcement officers without them being trained. Jenkins, a long-time supporter of Trump, was sentenced in March to 10 years in prison. He was set to report to jail on Tuesday, but due to Trump's pardon, he will not spend a single day behind bars.

Democratic Washington Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez represents Washington’s 3rd district, a district President Donald Trump won in 2024. While representing a red district in a blue state, the congresswoman who refers to herself as “MGP” is somewhat of an anomaly.

She speaks about building coalitions rather than falling behind party lines.

A Washington, D.C., court ordered University of Pennsylvania climate scientist Michael Mann to pay nearly $500,000 in legal fees combined to the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) and writer Rand Simberg on Thursday, 13 years after Mann first filed a defamation suit against the writer and think tank. In February 2024, Mann initially won his defamation trial against conservative writers Mark Steyn and Simberg, both of whom criticized his “hockey stick” climate model as flawed.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy threatened Wednesday to pull federal grants for California’s High-Speed Rail Authority after it spent nearly $7 billion in taxpayer funds over a decade and a half without laying a single foot of track.
In a more than 300-page report, Duffy detailed the missed deadlines and stretched budget for the long-running project — and gave the Golden State’s high-speed rail office 37 days to respond or lose out on around $4 billion in grants.
“This report exposes a cold, hard truth: CHSRA has no viable path to complete this project on time or on budget,” he said.
She moved to the United States with a dream of studying medicine to transform lives. Then her father was charged with attempting to take them in connection with a fiery assault on pro-Jewish protesters in Boulder, Colorado.
Now Habiba Soliman, daughter of Boulder attack suspect Mohamed Sabry Soliman, faces deportation along with the rest of her family.
The family, originally from Egypt, moved to the U.S. from Kuwait. Habiba Soliman recently graduated from high school, but her aspirations were upended when her 45-year-old father was charged with a federal hate crime and 16 counts of attempted murder related to the attack
A federal judge on Thursday blocked the Trump administration from deporting the family of Mohamad Soliman, the individual suspected of firebombing a gathering of Israel supporters in Boulder, Colorado, on Sunday.
Judge Gordon P. Gallagher’s ruling stated that the administration cannot remove Soliman’s wife and five children from the District of Colorado or the United States pending a ruling from the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. “[T]he Court finds that deportation without process could work irreparable harm and an order must issue without notice due to the urgency this situation presents,” the judge wrote.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested the family earlier this week
Former Biden White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre revealed Wednesday she was registering as an independent and announced a forthcoming book about her time in the tumultuous administration.
Jean-Pierre, a longtime Democratic Party operative, is urging Americans to step outside harsh party lines in her new book, "Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines," according to the book's description. The description also says the former Biden press secretary didn't come to the decision about leaving the party lightly.
"Until January 20, I was responsible for speaking on behalf of the President of the United States," she said in a statement, according to the AP.
Facing a federal investigation into his use of an autopen to sign executive actions, former President Joe Biden insists he was in control of the White House for the past four years.
“I made the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations. Any suggestion that I didn’t is ridiculous and false,” Biden said in a statement on Wednesday.
President Donald Trump declared his predecessor’s last-minute pardons void early this year after the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project discovered the pardons were signed by a mechanical autopen rather than by the president’s own hand.

Former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is leaving the Democratic Party and writing that its betrayal led to former President Joe Biden dropping out of the 2024 election, according to a statement from Legacy Lit, who is publishing her upcoming book.
Jean-Pierre announced her new book “Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines” set to publish in October 2025 on Wednesday. The book, according to her publisher Legacy Lit, encourages Americans to “vote their values and maintain individuality within party lines.”
The Champlin Park Rebels girls' softball team controversially reached the Minnesota State Championship for the first time in history on Wednesday night - thanks in part to their transgender pitcher. Marissa Rothenberger threw a complete game and then hit two doubles as the Rebels narrowly beat White Bear Lake 3-2 for their historic achievment.
'She’s always clutch,' Champlin Park coach Bryan Woodley was quoted as saying by TwinCities.Com. 'I think she’s the best centerfielder in the state. She’s just a great all-around player.'
Democrat Congresswoman Becca Balint shared her perspective that immigrant labor in America serves a rather undesirable purpose.
If we don't have avenues for people to come here legally to work or to build a home here—I'm gonna be really crude right now. We're not gonna have anyone around to wipe our a**es because we don't have enough people."
The comments came while she was speaking to constituents at a town hall in Newport, Vermont. Balint is also proudly the first congresswoman for the state of Vermont. [Video]
Contrary to the claims made by Congresswoman Balint, avenues for legal immigration already exist in the United States.
The Republican megabill to codify President Donald Trump’s domestic policy agenda would add $2.4 trillion to the national debt over the next decade, according to an analysis from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office.
The CBO estimates the “Big, Beautiful Bill” would lower tax revenues by $3.7 trillion and cut spending $1.3 trillion, creating $2.4 trillion in new debt. The non-partisan analysis factors in last minute changes to the House Republican version of the bill, including stricter Medicaid work requirements and a higher State and Local Tax Deduction (SALT), a top demand for New York lawmakers.

In the latest act of judicial overreach, a rogue lower court judge ordered the Trump administration to restore federal prisoners’ access to transgender-related “treatments” and accommodations on Tuesday.
Writing for the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Judge Royce Lamberth, a Reagan appointee, granted petitioners’ request for a preliminary injunction on the Trump administration’s policy ensuring that the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) expends “no Federal funds … for any medical procedure, treatment, or drug for the purpose of conforming an inmate’s appearance to that of the opposite sex.” The left-wing Associated Press once described Lamberth as “among the toughest judges”
Former First Lady Michelle Obama is back in the public eye, complaining about her time in the White House in a new book about fashion in which she whines about how people constantly "commented on her looks."
A press release from Penguin Random House about Obama's book "The Look" from the Crown Publishing Group announced that it "is a stunning journey through Michelle Obama's style evolution, in her own words for the first time.
