Donald Trump has defended his now-deleted post depicting himself as Jesus Christ, claiming he believed the AI-generated image showed him as a doctor. Trump deleted the post on Monday morning after it drew accusations of blasphemy from his own right-wing supporters. The President’s stunning defense came as he stood outside the Oval Office holding two bags of fresh McDonald’s fast food. 'It wasn't a depiction. I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor. And had to do with red cross as a red cross worker, which we support and only the fake news could come...

I know why Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones have all been fighting me for years, especially by the fact that they think it is wonderful for Iran, the Number One State Sponsor of Terror, to have a Nuclear Weapon — Because they have one thing in common, Low IQs. They’re stupid people, they know it, their families know it, and everyone else knows it, too! Look at their past, look at their record. They don’t have what it takes, and they never did! They’ve all been thrown off Television, lost their Shows, and aren’t even invited...

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has left the building. She quit, though the Georgia Republican and former Trump stalwart waited until her congressional pension vested. Greene has done a 180-degree turn on Trump, opposing him on the Epstein Files, Gaza, and the Big Beautiful Bill. She’s been on an apology tour, was a guest on The View, and is doing everything she can to shed her firebrand conservative image. Why? It might be because Trump’s team killed her US Senate ambitions. But the latest allegation is serious: did MTG tip off CodePink about the president’s dinner in the capital last...

A small group of women known as some of the fiercest MAGA stalwarts in the House have led the way in pushing back against President Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on some of the most high-profile issues of recent months — many involving the victimization of women. These lawmakers have been on an island apart from their colleagues as they’ve called for the Department of Justice to release files related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and supported a resolution to censure a fellow Republican accused of sexual misconduct. “I think we ran out of patience a...

Her story, once dressed as a crusade against elite corruption, has revealed itself as the ascent of a self-serving charlatan whose loyalties shifted the moment her ambitions stalled. What followed was not principled dissent. It was a strategic rebellion from someone who realized that Trump’s second term would not revolve around her. One truth stands out: this rift was inevitable. Trump’s disavowal does not fracture populism; it fortifies it. Movements rooted in loyalty, discipline, and authentic concern for working people cannot depend on performers who mistake attention for integrity.

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said Sunday she will stop using “toxic” rhetoric, marking what would be a dramatic shift in a political brand hallmarked by derogatory comments. “I would like to say, humbly, I’m sorry for taking part in the toxic politics; it’s very bad for our country,” Greene said. “It’s been something I’ve thought about a lot, especially since Charlie Kirk was assassinated.” Greene said she realized that she has participated in or supported heated rhetoric that has resulted in threats toward others, a point of reflection for her. “I’m only responsible for myself and my own words...
