The impending Republican collapse

Trump threatens 'Kennedy Center will collapse' after his name was stripped from building

Donald Trump threatened on Saturday that the Kennedy Center faces inevitable ruin after a federal judge ordered his name removed from the iconic Washington venue, declaring in a lengthy Truth Social post that the building "will collapse, both structurally and financially" without his involvement.Trump announced he was walking away from the project entirely and attacked Judge Christopher Cooper, who blocked the Kennedy Center from temporarily closing during proposed renovations and ordered Trump's name stripped from the building and its official title."The Kennedy Center is broken, unsafe, and $busted, and has been for many years," Trump wrote, adding that without his investment the venue is doomed. "So now, the Kennedy Center will collapse, both structurally and financially."Trump claimed that "hundreds of millions of dollars of my time and money" would have been necessary for the center's "successful reincarnation" and accused Cooper of blocking what he called a chance to "make the center great again."He also went after the judge personally, naming Cooper's wife, attorney Amy Jeffress, and suggesting her background represented a conflict of interest. "Judge Cooper and his wife, Amy Jeffress, should be ashamed of themselves," Trump wrote, before calling for Cooper's impeachment. "Judge Cooper, like numerous other Crooked Judges on my cases, should be IMPEACHED."Cooper, who was nominated by President Obama and confirmed by the Senate 100-0 in 2014, has not responded to Trump's public attacks.The post came as part of a broader Friday afternoon Truth Social spree in which Trump also proposed replacing the America 250 concert with a MAGA rally, dismissing the performers who had dropped out as "overpriced singers, who nobody wants to hear, whose music is boring."

Ex-GOP lawmaker says Republicans just handed Dems a gift: 'This is how Georgia goes blue'

Joe Walsh, the former Republican congressman turned Trump critic, says Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones may have just handed Democrats the opening they needed to flip the governor's office after a recording surfaced of Jones saying he supports banning all abortions.In what appears to be a 2022 GOP debate, Jones is seen agreeing with others that abortion should be banned entirely, as opposed to endorsing a six-week heartbeat bill."Wow, this'll get Georgia Democrats licking their chops," Walsh wrote on X, reacting to the tape of Jones, who is considered the leading GOP candidate for governor. "Here's Lt. Gov Burt Jones, the leading GOP candidate for Governor, on tape saying he's for banning all abortions."Walsh, who has made a point of calling out Republicans he believes are out of step with the broader electorate, was blunt about the political damage. "That ain't gonna play well," he wrote. "It won't play well with Georgia voters at all. This is how Georgia goes blue."Georgia has become one of the most competitive states in the country over the past several election cycles, with Democrats carrying it at the presidential level in 2020 and winning two Senate seats. Abortion has been a driving issue for Democrats since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, helping the party outperform expectations in multiple cycles.Jones has not yet responded publicly to the resurfaced remarks. His position, if it becomes central to the governor's race, would put him well to the right of most Georgia voters on an issue that has repeatedly proven costly for Republican candidates in competitive states.

'My phone is blowing up': Red state Republicans blindsided by Trump's 'wild' endorsement

President Donald Trump made a major endorsement in Oklahoma on Friday evening — and it left Republican officials there flabbergasted."It is my Great Honor to endorse MAGA Warrior, Mike Mazzei, who is running for Governor of Oklahoma, a State which I love, and WON BIG," wrote Trump on his Truth Social platform, describing Mazzei as "a successful Businessman, and former Chairman of the State Senate Finance Committee, and later, as Oklahoma’s Secretary of Budget" who will embrace "AMERICA FIRST Policies."But this endorsement didn't make any sense to Oklahoma insiders."Ummm Trump endorses @MazzeiMike for Governor of Oklahoma," wrote Reese Gorman of NOTUS on X. "Mazzei is widely considered a massive underdog against AG Drummond, McCall and Chip Keating. Absolutely unexpected and wild endorsement."Gorman went on to add, "My phone is blowing up with Oklahoma officials and politicos absolutely SHOCKED at this endorsement. Nobody saw this coming."This comes as Trump makes a number of other endorsements in key races around the country, including Pam Evette in South Carolina's gubernatorial race, which deals a blow to Reps. Nancy Mace and Ralph Norman, who had been vying for that endorsement themselves.

Republicans Shrug at Trump's Outrageous Corruption

Republicans en masse skip Pam Bondi's Epstein hearing

House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) was the sole Republican lawmaker present during a closed-door interview with former Attorney General Pam Bondi regarding the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. According to MS NOW, the atmosphere was tense, with Bondi appearing frustrated during questioning. Rep. Melanie (D-NM) Stansbury criticized her Republican colleagues' absence, noting that, despite their stated commitment to justice for survivors, none traveled to attend the important interview. The questioning focused on redactions, withholding, and Ghislaine Maxwell's prison sentence. Legal experts suggest Republicans may have strategically scheduled the interview during congressional recess to limit tough questioning from their own party members, potentially to avoid pursuing additional subpoenas for current Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel.Watch the video below.
