Not over -- Guilfoyle nemesis vows to expose Trump family with 'subpoenas'

Trump donor Eric Deters told Daily Beast podcast host Joanna Coles Wednesday night that he will be lining up the Trump family and associates for subpoenas and court depositions when he sues them for defamation in the coming months -- and he expects all matter of gritty information to come to light. Deters, a campaign donor to President Donald Trump, is the face behind leaked emails that brought down Trump Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle and enveloped the administration in scandal after texts suggested Guilfoyle begged Deters for money.

WSJ Editorial Board to Trump: get a grip on inflation -- or else

President Donald Trump has repeatedly referred to the American economy under his second term as a "golden age." A conservative editorial board disagrees strongly with that self-assessment. "The Labor Department's inflation report on Wednesday was disappointing, and it explains why voters remain unhappy about the economy," wrote The Wall Street Journal's editorial board on Wednesday. "Prices are rising faster than wages."

MAGA 'jabronis' have failed to deliver -- now they're going down: conservative

Jonah Goldberg, the founder of conservative news site The Dispatch says the thing that drives many people nuts about the Trump administration -- and the broader MAGA industrial complex -- have to do with incompetence instead of villainy. "What complicates that analysis is that the incompetence is very often the result of the villainy," said Goldberg. "The key distinction between the two Trump terms is that in the second one, he has been determined to hire people for loyalty first and competence a distant second.

Bad week as new Trump judge wipes shoes on president's 'scrambled' arguments

A judge appointed by President Donald Trump knocked a hole in the president's argument to remove media that he does not like -- but the judge's decision itself paled in comparison to the contempt the Trump judge had for the administration's bad preparation, according to AllRise reporter Adam Klasfel and attorney Glenn Kirschner. U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly of Washington, D.C., issued an injunction preventing CNN, Politico and MS NOW from being booted from the White House complex until the case is decided. However, language in the Tuesday filing appears to suggest the judge was ready to wash away White House legal arguments with a garden hose, said Klasfeld.

Shortest-serving Trump aide advises bumbling press secretary: be a 'better liar'

President Donald Trump has been struggling with New York Republicans and former Republicans for a long time -- and one of them, his ex-communications director Anthony Scaramucci, opened up on the president during an interview on Wednesday. "Let me put it to you this way," Scaramucci told MS NOW anchor Katy Tur when discussing the widely-maligned performance of the new press secretary, Katie Zacharia. "If she was my family member, I would say take a powder on that job. It's not the right job for you. And the universe is sending you a message. You know, the good news for me is that the universe expunged me from Trump world nine years ago."

Trump brags on bribes: 'when you're given gifts you take them!'

President Donald Trump, faced with accusations of bribery for accepting a 747 jet as a gift from the Qatari government, openly bragged at an Arizona rally that he took the airplane because "when you're given gifts, you take them!" After quoting the legendary golfer Sam Snead to illustrate a point -- specifically, Snead's quote "you know, when they give you a putt, you say just two words: 'Thank you.' You bend down, you pick it up, and you walk to the next hole." -- Trump compared accepting a substitute Air Force One from royalty to being generous to an opposing golfer during a game.

Secret Service director interview tanks 60 Minutes ratings

Despite dominating in ratings for decades, 60 Minutes is taking a hit. Mediate reports a recent episode featuring an interview with Secret Service director Sean M. Curry brought in even more mediocre viewership in comparison to other episodes. The episode drew in 6.061 million total viewers, with 767,000 viewers in the key 25-54 age demographic. Veteran 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl has allegedly considered leaving the show due to editing conflicts over her segment about Israeli settler harassment in the West Bank.

'You're right': Fox hammers squirming Trump official into confession over economy

On Wednesday, amid reports that inflation is rising with increasing speed, one of President Donald Trump's top officials was left squirming as a Fox News host held his feet to the fire about the state of the economy. In the end, National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett was forced to admit that the situation is "disappointing." "The market doesn't like this," said longtime Fox financial analyst Stuart Varney. "Interest rates are rising. It's the last report heading into the midterms, and it's not real great on inflation, is it?" As the New York Times explains, "The Consumer Price Index rose 3.7 percent in September from a year earlier, faster than a month earlier, as gas prices surged 34 percent." At the same time, interest rates have been pushed up due to inflation and the fast-mounting national debt, both of which were accelerated by Trump's decision to launch war with Iran, while the debt also jumped higher due to tax cuts passed by Republicans last year. As the prices of gas and diesel have climbed, so have the costs of everything else.

Former Ted Cruz aide has bad news for Republicans

A far right Republican political operative, Rick Tyler, has bad news for Texas Republicans, and as a former adviser to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Tyler knows a thing or two about Texas Republicans. "Rick Tyler, once a chief spokesperson for Sen. Ted Cruz's (R-TX) 2016 presidential campaign, delivered a grim forecast for the party ahead of the November midterm elections, warning that the GOP is headed for a 'bad night!'" reported Mediaite's Kathryn Wilkens on Wednesday. "Tyler joined Wednesday's edition of CNN News Central to discuss the competitive Texas Senate race between Republican Ken Paxton, the state's attorney general, and Democratic state Rep. James Talarico."

Lindsay Clancy holdout juror explains his controversial vote

The lone juror who refused to find Lindsay Clancy to not be criminally responsible for killing her children is explaining his controversial vote, one that has polarized America like few other mass murder cases. Lindsay Clancy is an accused family killer who did not dispute accusations that she killed her three children (ages five years, three years and eight months) by strangling them with exercise bands. During her first trial, Clancy defended herself by arguing she suffered from postpartum psychosis and killed her children after being commanded to do so by a voice. Eleven of the 12 jurors believed her story and voted to find her not guilty by reason of insanity, yet a lone holdout insisted she knew what she was doing. That juror, Michael Desronvil, later had his identity leaked. After the mistrial, Clancy's lawyer argued there wasn't enough evidence that she killed the children, even though in the first trial the defense didn't dispute it. A judge rejected that argument earlier this month.

Three-time MAGA voter Trump took away his favorite weekend pastime

A committed MAGA voter who voted for President Donald Trump three times says his economic policies have made one of his simple weekend pleasures unaffordable. Louis Oliverio is a 72-year-old living in Bullhead City, Arizona, a conservative retirement community in a county Trump won overwhelmingly in 2024. He revealed to The Washington Post that his favorite Saturday activity is now beyond his wallet: "grilling steak."

Trump caught 'juicing the stats' to fake tough-on-crime claims

On Wednesday, it was revealed that under the leadership of President Donald Trump, the FBI has embraced a novel solution to making it appear as if its violent crime arrests are up: " juice the stats ." This is according to a new report by MS NOW , which found that the crime numbers touted by FBI Director Kash Patel are padded with arrests made by state and local law enforcement rather than the bureau. "With fewer agents and a strained budget, the FBI under its director, Kash Patel, has brought thousands fewer criminal cases than previous administrations," reports MS NOW, citing a review of Justice Department data. "The findings rebut Patel's repeated claims that he has led a crackdown on violent crime. Patel has boasted that the FBI has arrested 54,000 violent criminals, which he describes as a 90 percent increase in arrests from the same period in the Biden administration. What he doesn't mention is that his count is inflated by including arrests that state and local police forces and other federal agencies have made when an FBI employee is present." And as the FBI itself acknowledged, many were not FBI cases.
