Thomas Massie calls out Trump's election fraud claims

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) challenged President Donald Trump's rationale for demanding Congress pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or SAVE America Act, calling the president's election fraud claims absurd. Trump continues insisting that fraud cost him the 2020 presidency and made passage of the voter ID legislation a prerequisite for signing other bills. "I think it's a distraction from our real problems," Massie argued, and crassly noted Republicans won all the elections, controlling the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and White House. The Kentucky Congressman lost his Republican primary last month to Trump-endorsed Ed Gallrein after allegedly angering the president by pushing for the release of Department of Justice files on Jeffrey Epstein. Trump canceled a scheduled bipartisan housing cost legislation signing, reiterating his refusal to sign anything until Congress approves the SAVE Act, which critics argue would revoke the rights of millions of voters.

Trump insider blows up after Mike Johnson's 'unmitigated' midterms 'disaster'

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon declared House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) an "unmitigated disaster" on Thursday, warning his MAGA base that Republicans have already lost the Senate ahead of the midterms.Bannon unloaded on his War Room podcast on Real America's Voice after President Donald Trump blew up a rare Republican win — a popular bipartisan housing bill — to demand Congress first pass his sweeping election overhaul.Trump canceled the signing of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act an hour before he was due at the Capitol on Wednesday. He announced on Truth Social that he wouldn't sign it until Congress passes the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, also known as the SAVE America Act.Critics say the SAVE America Act would disenfranchise millions of eligible voters — part of a broader Republican effort to reshape who can participate in American elections.Johnson publicly backed Trump's move. But a source told Politico, the speaker was privately "f—ing surprised and angry.""Mike Johnson, who's just been an unmitigated disaster," Bannon said on air, mocking the speaker with the nickname "Polly Pockets.""Polly Pockets is gonna skip around that he's got something done," Bannon said. "'I did something! I did something!'"Johnson raced to the White House on Thursday. After more than three hours with Trump, he told reporters he'd be transmitting the housing bill — and expected the president to sign it."You've already lost the Senate because of this," Bannon told his War Room listeners. "Or you're gonna lose the Senate and all the money the donors put into it.""I don't see the energy to save the House," he added. "Let me be blunt.""If something is done and they start moving legislation before Save America, I will tell you," Bannon warned, threatening to pull his grassroots support.

Democrats Suddenly Agree With Trump: Haiti Is An ‘S-hole Country’

Every Democrat who insists it’s a deeply inhumane offense to send Haitians temporarily in the U.S. back to their country should be required to admit what they previously denied: that Haiti and so many others like it really are, as President Trump so eloquently put it, “sh-thole countries.” The Supreme Court ruled this week that […]
