'Do not be stupid!' Trump menaces GOP lawmakers over Senate standstill

04/30/26 3:05 PM

In yet another outburst on Truth Social on Thursday morning, Donald Trump aimed his ire at the Senate Republicans for not doing everything within their power to push his agenda through, claiming they are getting played by Democrats.Moments after harshly criticizing German Chancellor Friedrich Merz for calling him out on Iran, Trump took to social media for another attack.“How much abuse can the Republican Senate take from the Radical Left Lunatics in the form of Democrat Senators, before they BLOW UP (TERMINATE!) THE FILIBUSTER, and approve things at a record clip, including The Save America Act, that would be unthinkable without the Filibuster Termination???” he wrote.He then added, “The Dems will do it on the first hour of their first day. DO NOT BE STUPID!!! President DONALD J. TRUMP”Along with his proposed ballroom, Trump has been laser-focused on getting the controversial Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (also called the SAVE Act) passed before the midterm elections which would reportedly impact voter turnout in Republican’s favor.

'Get the children away': Outrage breaks out over Trump's startling remarks around kids

05/05/26 8:13 PM

People were stunned on Tuesday after President Donald Trump started touting his unpopular Iran war and discussing it in front of a group of children in the Oval Office. The kids were at the White House to celebrate Trump's signing of a proclamation to restore the Presidential Fitness Test award, and in the press briefing, the president ranted about trans athletes in youth sports, then attempted to make his case for the Middle East conflict.Media experts were astounded by Trump's comments, with some calling out the president for his misinformation and decision to talk with children about adult topics. "He’s the LeBron James of being weird around kids," political commentator Evan loves Worf wrote on X."These are lies. And children are being exposed," Scott MacFarlane, MeidasTouch chief Washington correspondent, wrote on X."T***p's third term can be Santa Claus at the mall where unsuspecting children could sit on his lap all day long," author Joyce Carol Oates wrote on X. "He needs an R rating," Heather Thomas, actor and activist, wrote on X."I thought the whole ~*thing*~ the right was mad about for years was kids being made aware that some people transition," media strategist Ari Drennen wrote on X."Get the children away from him," Juliet Jeske, journalist and writer of the Substack Decoding Fox News, wrote on X.

'Grotesque': Trump sons' dubious mining deal triggers accusations of 'vast corruption'

04/30/26 10:50 PM

Political analysts and observers were aghast on Thursday after a new report suggested President Donald Trump's family had engaged in a dubious deal. The Financial Times reported that Trump's sons, Don Jr. and Eric, had taken a stake in a Kazakh mining company that had recently been awarded a $1.6 billion loan from the U.S. government. The brothers reportedly bought into the company last August for an undisclosed amount. The report added that there is "no indication" that the Trumps knew the company was in talks with their father's administration, or that they influenced the decision to grant the loan. Even so, analysts and observers expressed their outrage on social media. "Not surprising. This family is beyond anything in the history of the U.S. Outright shameful," Martin Pelletier, portfolio manager at TriVest Wealth, posted on X. "Trump Cartel’s corruption is so vast and grotesque and shamelessly out in the open that it has an almost paralyzing effect on the senses, made worse by the fact that there’s no systemic pushback, no 'opposition party' or elite resistance or even the hint of accountability," Marm Ames, a radio host, posted on X. "A serious country would put these scoundrels in prison for life," podcaster Kyle Kulinski posted on X. "Just a coincidence," Martina Navratilova, a former professional tennis champion, posted on X.

'Hegseth’s testimony cast doubt on his fitness' for job: ex-dean of U.S. Army War College

05/04/26 12:52 PM

A retired Army colonel and former dean of the U.S. Army War College is calling for the removal of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, arguing that his combative and factually questionable performance before congressional committees has raised serious doubts about his fitness to lead the Pentagon during a period of unprecedented global instability.In a column for MS NOW, Jeff McCausland, now a visiting professor at Dickinson College, laid out a damning case against Hegseth, noting that the nation faces an escalating conflict with Iran, an ongoing war in Ukraine, rising Chinese threats, and a potential energy crisis — none of which can be effectively managed by an unprepared secretary of defense."The American people are threatened by an ongoing conflict that could easily escalate and is already having a dramatic effect on the global economy. The nation is potentially facing its greatest energy crisis in history, and Hegseth's testimony cast doubt on his fitness for the position of secretary of defense," McCausland wrote.According to McCausland, Hegseth's testimony was "disturbing from the onset" for his "combative and argumentative style," as he immediately lashed out at lawmakers from both parties rather than engaging seriously with their concerns about a proposed 45% increase in the Pentagon budget — a massive jump that would worsen the nation's already dire fiscal crisis with national debt exceeding $39 trillion.Hegseth's strategic analysis of the Iran war revealed even deeper problems. Last June, he claimed that Operation Midnight Hammer strikes against Iran had "obliterated" Iran's nuclear enrichment capabilities. When questioned about conflicting media reports during his testimony, Hegseth attempted to have it both ways, stating that facilities had been destroyed but that Iran still possessed "nuclear ambitions."During his testimony, Hegseth claimed the United States is "winning" the war with Iran, apparently failing to grasp that successful military strategy requires far more than "a target list," noted McCausland.McCausland also cited Hegseth's troubling record since taking office, including his role in the "Signalgate" scandal, where his use of unclassified communications risked placing American military personnel in harm's way. He has also fired more than two dozen senior officers without justification — actions questioned by both Democratic and Republican members of Congress."Even the most loyal supporter of President Donald Trump must look at Hegseth's record and agree that he is in over his head," McCausland wrote. "He was selected for this critical post not for his expertise but, rather, for his fealty to Trump."McCausland concluded that at a moment of unprecedented global danger, the nation cannot afford incompetence in Pentagon leadership.

'Is this hell?' Amazon's new AI podcast feature for products leaves internet disoriented

04/29/26 9:15 PM

The internet was in disbelief on Wednesday after Amazon unveiled a new AI "podcast" feature for products. The dystopian new experience for customers launched this week and allows customers "to ask AI hosts questions via text or voice while listening to an audio summary of a product," Amazon announced in a news release. Business Insider correspondent Katie Notopoulos described the new chat experience, sharing an example where the AI "hosts" discussed a diaper rash cream in great detail, describing the items and ingredients, just like a call-in shopping show. "Finally, the AI feature we all wanted and needed: Amazon now creates an AI 'podcast' about products where two AI 'hosts' discuss the product and take your questions as if it’s a call-in show," Notopoulos wrote on X.People weren't shy to share their thoughts on the new feature. "Is this hell?" Communications expert Amanda Wells wrote on X."Somehow the 30 second wait of 'your question is next' is the most insulting part of this," politics writer Ben Dreyfuss wrote on X."The illiterate deserve to shop on Amazon too," Cole Boyer, founder of Tuesday, a social-style MLS app, wrote on X."Like QVC only worse because it's not real!" Writer Emil Caillaux posted on X."What next, next time I order an uber I get a podcast there too," software engineer Aadi wrote on X.Finally, the AI feature we all wanted and needed: Amazon now creates an AI “podcast” about products where two AI “hosts” discuss the product and take your questions as if it’s a call-in show. pic.twitter.com/iSFMYrZeI3— Katie Notopoulos (@katienotopoulos) April 29, 2026
