In a recent interview, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who previously aligned with President Trump, criticized him for abandoning his base and prioritizing major industries. Greene cited disagreements on affordability, foreign policy, and his support for crypto and pharmaceutical industries as evidence. She also discussed her stance on the war in Gaza, her vote against the Antisemitism Awareness Act, and her decision to support the release of Epstein files, which allegedly angered Trump. Following Trump’s criticism of her, Greene stated she and her son were targeted with death threats, highlighting a significant break in their relationship.

According to Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, many Republican colleagues privately ridicule Donald Trump but are too afraid to publicly criticize him. Greene stated that these colleagues would mock Trump until he secured the Republican nomination. She believes fear of Trump’s repercussions, like a negative Truth Social post, is a key reason for their public silence. This follows Greene’s own falling out with Trump over issues such as the release of the Epstein files, leading to a public feud and Trump withdrawing his support for her.

The White House’s new national security strategy, based on the “America First” maxim, aims to assert U.S. dominance in the Western Hemisphere, reviving the Monroe Doctrine, while cultivating internal resistance within Europe, criticizing its policies. The strategy expresses concerns about migration, free speech, and national identity in Europe. Simultaneously, it advocates for reestablishing “strategic stability” with Russia and accepting Middle Eastern leaders “as they are” while also pursuing more investment within the region. Democratic lawmakers and European officials have criticized the strategy as an abandonment of allies, a departure from values, and a threat to existing global alliances.

In a recent ruling, a federal judge has temporarily barred prosecutors from accessing materials from Daniel Richman, a key associate of former FBI Director James Comey. Richman, who served as Comey’s attorney and is a Columbia University law professor, sued the government over their access to his computer data, arguing it was obtained unlawfully. Prosecutors sought access to these materials to support their case against Comey, who is accused of lying to Congress. This legal development adds to the challenges faced by the prosecution, particularly given previous setbacks and procedural issues in the case against Comey.

According to outgoing GOP House member Marjorie Taylor Greene, many Republican colleagues privately mocked Donald Trump before the 2024 primary but quickly shifted their support after he secured the nomination. Greene recounted how these same individuals, who once ridiculed Trump and her support for him, began outwardly embracing his “Make America Great Again” platform. She attributes this shift to fear of public criticism from Trump. Greene also detailed receiving threats, initially from the left, but later from the right after disagreeing with Trump’s handling of files related to Jeffrey Epstein.

President Trump launched a scathing attack on CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins, labeling her “stupid” and “nasty” in a Truth Social post. In response, Collins corrected Trump’s recollection of their interaction, pointing out that her question concerned Venezuela, not the cost of a ballroom, as Trump claimed. This correction highlighted a discrepancy in Trump’s memory, especially considering the timing of the interview, which occurred shortly after Trump’s nomination for a FIFA “peace prize” and amid criticism of his actions. This incident is further compounded by Trump’s recent history of similar verbal assaults towards female journalists.

The National Park Service has released a revised fee-free calendar for national parks, removing Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth while adding President Trump’s birthday to the list. This change is part of an ongoing effort by the administration regarding the country’s history on federal lands. Additionally, under the “America-first pricing” policy, non-U.S. residents will still be required to pay entrance fees on these days, with increased fees at popular parks. These adjustments align with a White House executive order prioritizing American visitors and seeking to provide them “preferential treatment” and are touted by the Department of the Interior as a way to make the parks more affordable and efficient for Americans.

Henry Cuellar, who faced federal bribery and money laundering charges, Donald Trump expressed frustration and regret when the Congressman announced his plans to seek reelection as a Democrat.

Donald Trump expressed outrage on Truth Social after pardoning Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar, who was facing bribery charges. Trump had previously pardoned Cuellar and defended him against the Justice Department’s actions, calling it weaponization under Biden and praising Cuellar’s criticism of the administration’s immigration policy. The president’s displeasure arose from Cuellar’s decision to continue running for Congress as a Democrat, despite the pardon, which Trump viewed as a betrayal of loyalty. Trump added a warning to Cuellar, indicating a harsher approach if such charges were to arise again.
