Alabama Republicans ask Supreme Court to clear way for congressional map
Center
Alabama asked the Supreme Court on Wednesday to clear the way for its congressional map that would remove the state’s second majority-Black district and give Republicans a potential pickup in November. State Republicans insist the justices’ recent 6-3 blockbuster decision narrowing the Voting Rights Act means they should be able to move ahead with their map for the midterms. But on Tuesday,…

Former Republican strategist claims Trump's health is hitting an all-time low
Former Republican strategist Rick Wilson warned Tuesday that President Donald Trump's health is declining and the White House is concealing the reality through a coordinated cover-up. In his Substack post, "Trump Is Dying," Wilson compared the deception to Edith Wilson forging her husband's signature in 1919, citing "memos," claims of "excellent health," and "careful staging" to obscure Trump's diminished condition. Wilson accused White House officials, including Karoline Leavitt and Stephen Cheung, of lying about Trump's condition without accountability. He also criticized media outlets for "flinching" from covering Trump's health with accuracy. Wilson noted Trump's appearance — a 79-year-old with swollen extremities and bruised hands — alongside his falling approval ratings and contentious base concerns about grocery prices."There is no third act," said Wilson."There is only the long, undignified, makeup-smeared decline of a man and a movement whose moment has passed, narrating itself ever more loudly into an ever emptier hall, a frowzy barfly of a man, replaying past glories that never happened and hoping you won’t notice the bad wig."Watch the video below.

“Slush Fund for Crooks”: Republican Town Hall Goes Off the Rails
GOP Representative Mike Flood had yet another disastrous town hall in Norfolk, Nebraska, on Tuesday, as his constituents drowned him out with grievances regarding the war on Iran, the White House ballroom, Jeffrey Epstein, and President Trump’s “anti-weaponization” slush fund. “Iran war, White House ballroom, security for the White House ballroom, immigration enforcement, Trump arch … the reflecting pool renovation, slush fund for crooks, and the farm bill. How do we pay for all this?” said one Nebraskan, according to CNN. “I know you’re a lawyer. You’ve taken an oath as a congressman to support the laws of this land. A million Epstein files have still not been released, and … the Epstein Transparency Act you signed, the Senate signed, Trump signed, yet we still have millions of files that still have not been released,” Fremont resident Kim Stabbe asked Flood. “We know that Trump is in them tons of times; why do you continue to protect the pedophiles and Trump’s DOJ as they continue to break the law?”“We have passed a law to release the Epstein files,” Flood replied. “Do you think that under President Joe Biden’s four years in the White House, if President Trump was in the Epstein files, it would have been released?” He was met with boos and jeers. Flood toed a hawkish line on Iran, conceding that “everything costs too much,” while in the same breath maintaining support for the war that is making everything cost so much, stating, “I also don’t want Iran with a nuclear weapon.” The only thing Flood seemed to fully agree with the crowd on was Trump’s $1.8 billion slush fund—a shameless plan to direct billions of taxpayer dollars to Trump’s supporters who felt wronged or targeted by the Biden administration—even those who attacked Capitol Police on January 6. “I do not think we should be creating a fund for people that commit physical violence against law enforcement,” he said. “The Senate is opening an oversight effort. And we in the House have to determine whether we do the same in the Judiciary Committee or in the Oversight Committee. I clearly think Congress needs to have an oversight role in this before I can sign off or support this.”The hostilities Flood was met with aren’t just local to Norfolk. Americans nationwide are fed up with blatant corruption, another pointless and expensive war in the Middle East, and worrying about how much it’ll cost to fill their tank.Watch the full town hall here.

Town hall erupts in chaos as red district Republican faces angry Trump voters
Nebraska has long been known as a GOP stronghold. Donald Trump won Nebraska by roughly 21 percent in 2024, and the last Democrat to carry Nebraska in a presidential election was Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964. But according to NOTUS reporter Torrence Banks, Rep. Mike Flood (R-Nebraska) is witnessing major frustration with President Trump's policies in Nebraska's "ruby red" 1st Congressional District.Flood, who is seeking reelection, held a townhall in his district on Tuesday night. The GOP congressman, Banks notes, was "jeered" by attendees — and it marked his "second contentious encounter with constituents within the past year.""Flood was asked to defend his party's stances on a number of issues, from Medicaid to the Iran war," Banks explains in NOTUS. "Many attendees were unhappy with the state of the American economy in Trump's second term — and let Flood know."At a previous town hall, Banks points out, Flood faced "booing, jeering and even interrupting" — and the "environment was similar this time around," according to the NOTUS reporter."As the conflict in Iran has continued, prices for a litany of consumer goods — gas and airplane tickets especially — have skyrocketed," Banks writes. "The audience (on Tuesday night) applauded a woman after she told Flood that the war was 'making everything unaffordable'…. Flood stood by Trump's decision, earlier this year, to launch the war and his party's oversight actions…. Warren Reimer, a man who Flood said he has known since high school, accused him of being bitten 'by the Beltway bug' and of supporting Trump's stated goal of taking Greenland by force if necessary."Banks adds, "Flood emphasized that he doesn't support a U.S. invasion of the semi-autonomous Danish territory and that he plans to meet with the country's ambassador on June 4."Flood, according to Banks, tried to distance himself from the Trump Administration's "anti-weaponization fund" — telling attendees, "I do not think we should be creating a fund for people that commit physical violence against law enforcement. The Senate is opening an oversight effort. And we in the House have to determine whether we do the same in the Judiciary Committee or in the Oversight Committee. I clearly think Congress needs to have an oversight role in this before I can sign off or support this."But Banks defended Trump's SAVE America Act, which critics say, will make it much harder to vote by requiring proof of U.S. citizenship other than a regular driver's license — for example, a U.S. passport or a birth certificate.Banks told attendees, "Do you think illegal immigrants should vote in our elections? I don't think that a majority of Nebraskans agree with you."
