WASHINGTON — Taking up a case that could further erode the rights of people to sue federal officers for constitutional violations, the Supreme Court on Monday agreed to consider whether a prison inmate could sue a nurse for failing to provide medical assistance after a riot
Former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard may have been taking orders on political decisions from Chris Butler, the leader of a group many former members have called a cult, according to a new investigation from The Washington Post.So far, Gabbard’s allies in the Trump administration have been largely silent about the report that the person they placed in charge of the CIA, FBI, and NSA may have been taking directives from a man many former followers view as a cult leader. As Gabbard is no longer a part of the Trump administration, perhaps her former colleagues feel no pressure to weigh in. But, conservative commentator Meghan McCain defended Gabbard on X Sunday afternoon.“What absolute unpatriotic vile trash this attack on @TulsiGabbard is. They wont cover her releases on Fauci or bio labs - both things that threaten the safety and wellbeing of the American people, but spend time and space vomiting this washed up nonsense anti-Hindu bigoted crap,” McCain wrote, referring to Gabbard’s release of documents “exposing” Dr. Anthony Fauci for supposed actions taken during the Covid-19 pandemic on Friday, her last day on the job.Reporter Jon Swaine gained access to a trove of emails that appeared to show memos from someone within the Science of Identity Foundation (SIF) directing Gabbard during her time in Congress. When Swaine compared the directives to Tulsi’s voting record, legislative proposals, and media statements, he found “unmistakable parallels.”Butler’s followers practice a form of Hinduism known as Hare Krishna, and his politics when he founded SIF did not belong squarely in one political camp: “He inveighed against Muslims, homosexuality, gun control and public schools, but also promoted environmentalism and anti-capitalism,” the Post reported.After two months with no answers from Gabbard’s office, Swaine informed Gabbard that he would be proceeding with the story. Two days later, Fox News reported that Gabbard would be stepping down from her position as Director of National Intelligence.On her last days in office, a spokesperson gave a statement: “The attacks on Director Gabbard’s faith and loyalty are not only false — they are a blatant example of anti-Hindu bigotry.”
Vice President JD Vance and his team are holding out hope for one thing — that President Donald Trump can stay alive long enough for Vance to have a chance at a two-term presidency, according to an analyst.As midterms draw closer and MAGA starts to picture the future, Vance and Republicans have serious concerns over Trump’s declining health, Mike Rothschild, journalist and conspiracy theory expert, told Raw Story in an exclusive interview. The White House has attempted to quell rumors that the president’s mental acuity and physical well-being have shifted, but behind-the-scenes and among MAGA circles, the conversations are different.“I think it’s a movement that’s quickly realizing it’s going to be leaderless,” Rothschild told Raw Story. “Whether that’s going to be tomorrow or January 2029. We’re going to be facing a post-Trump future.”That reality has left MAGA with anxiety, Rothschild pointed out.“This whole coalition was all held together by Trump because nobody could do what Trump did — that combination of charisma and the shamelessness to lie and say anything and contradict yourself constantly and to risk being humiliated and to know that his humiliation is what actually makes his supporters love him more,” Rothschild explained.“You have to be Trump to be Trump. No one else can do it,” he added.For presidential hopefuls in the GOP, that could be problematic. But it’s not the only hurdle.“Vance can’t do it. Marco Rubio can’t do it,” Rothschild said. “None of these guys have that movie star thing that Trump has — or used to have. I think very quickly we’re seeing what a leaderless MAGA looks like. And I think that’s why you see so many influencers rush to be like him.”Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones and Nick Fuentes — all former Trump allies — have used Trump to boost their careers but have since turned on him in a move to try and gain more followers and influence in MAGA world. “They’re throwing Trump off the side of the ship because they don’t need him anymore,” Rothschild said.Depending on how voters decide in November, it could also reflect how MAGA followers and Republican presidential candidates treat Trump.“If the midterms are really a shellacking, Trump isn’t going to have any use for them anymore,” Rothschild said.But for one potential candidate — Vance — the timing couldn’t be more important. The vice president hasn’t committed to a campaign for 2028, but has launched a media tour promoting his new book,“Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith.”“They really need Trump to hang on to January 2027,” Rothschild said.Under the 22nd Amendment, no person can be elected as president more than twice. A vice president who has served more than two years of another president's term can only be elected president once more.“If Vance became president tomorrow, he couldn’t run for two more full terms,” he explained.
Critics pounced on Vice President JD Vance Monday over what some alleged to be “operational security” failing captured on camera during the ongoing U.S.-Iran negotiations in Switzerland.Vance was photographed Sunday working on a laptop while sitting beside Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, who in the photograph is seen gesturing and looking directly at the laptop screen. With Qatar not being a signatory to the U.S.-Iran tentative peace deal, some critics, such as Travis Akers, a retired U.S. Navy intelligence officer, argued that Vance may have breached standard protocols relating to data security.“This photo was published [by] the Prime Minister of Qatar, Vice President JD Vance and Jared Kushner. What’s the problem?” Akers wrote in a social media post on X to his nearly 180,000 followers. “Giving a foreign leader visual access to a [United States government] laptop, while using someone else’s [Common Access Card] to log in. Pure incompetence at every turn.”Fred Guttenberg, a gun-safety advocate whose daughter was killed in the 2018 Parkland school shooting, echoed Akers’ assessment.“Incompetence at every step of the way,” Guttenberg wrote in a social media post on X to his more than 460,000 followers. “America is less safe and less secure because of this administration.”Takaya Suzuki, an assistant professor at Tohoku University in Japan, sarcastically invoked the rallying cry "But Hillary's emails" – a reference to the email controversy that dogged Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign and became a fixation of conservative critics.And Dave Vorland, a former Biden administration appointee, called on voters to send a message regarding Vance’s alleged security breach at the ballot box in November.“Yes, this is all true and we should expect and demand better,” Vorland wrote in a social media post on X. “But that needs to come at the ballot box, we already knew that a Trump Administration would be terrible at data security and operational security.”This photo was published of the Prime Minister of Qatar, Vice President JD Vance and Jared Kushner. What’s the problem? Giving a foreign leader visual access to a USG laptop, while using someone else’s CAC to log in. Pure incompetence at every turn. pic.twitter.com/7eP8AMKSmj— Travis Akers 🇺🇸 (@travisakers) June 22, 2026

Republicans are hilariously roasting James Talarico over his effeminate characteristics and love for trans children as he attempts to win a statewide race in cowboy country. Talarico has made several insane comments in the past, including claims that "God is nonbinary," there are six biological sexes, calls for Texans to reduce their meat consumption, anti-American flag rhetoric, calls for open borders, saying he loves "trans children," and more. The post LOL! Stephen Miller on James Talarico: “I Can’t Call Him a Man. Who Knows What Gender He Is?” appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
