The House Republican’s reaction to the leaked call involving Witkoff and alleged Russian collusion has ignited a firestorm of concern, or at least it should have. The core issue, as it’s being presented, is that the White House *should be very concerned* about the implications. The leak itself, purportedly capturing a conversation between Witkoff and Russia, suggests a deal in the making – a deal that could involve trading Ukrainian sovereignty for personal and financial gain. This isn’t just about diplomacy; it’s being framed as a potential business transaction, with Trump seemingly positioned as the dealmaker, selling off Ukraine’s resources in exchange for access to them.… Continue reading

This shift in popularity is speculated to be linked to Vance’s close association with the current administration, which is facing its own decline in approval ratings.

Republicans are expressing growing anxiety regarding the upcoming special election in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District, a district previously considered a GOP stronghold.

Laura Loomer says the GOP has a ‘Nazi problem,’ and honestly, it’s hard not to raise an eyebrow at this statement. It feels like a moment of, well, self-awareness – but from a source that is, let’s say, complicated. After all, this is the same Laura Loomer who’s been associated with some pretty inflammatory rhetoric and actions herself. She’s expressed views that, to put it mildly, haven’t always been in line with promoting tolerance and inclusivity.
The crux of the matter seems to be that the GOP is now facing a reckoning. The comments suggest that the party, or at least a significant part of it, has nurtured or at least tolerated, the presence of individuals and ideologies that would be considered far-right, and even outright Nazi.… Continue reading

Though Trump has encouraged the release of the files, he has not moved to release them unilaterally, and Mark Epstein has accused the FBI of orchestrating a cover-up.
