RCP's Wegmann to Trump: What Do You Mean The Supreme Court Has Been Swayed By Foreign Interests? RCP's Phil Wegmann asked President Trump Friday at his press conference on the Supreme Court's decision striking down his authority to impose tariffs: PHIL WEGMANN, REALCLEARPOLITICS: What will you say to foreign nations who seek to renegotiate their deals? And what did you mean a moment ago when you said the Supreme Court has been swayed by foreign interests? PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Well, I think the foreign interests are represented by people who I think have undue influence -- a lot of influence -- over the Supreme Court. Whether it is through fear or respect or friendships, I don't know. But I know some of the people who were involved on the other side, and I don't like 'em. I think they're real slimeballs. You gotta do what's right for the country. You gotta do what's right for the Constitution. That's why I respect so much Justice Kavanaugh, Alito, and Thomas. They not only dissented, but their dissent is so strong. When you read their dissent, a lot of times you'll read the dissent and it could go either way. There's no other way. The good news is, like Justice Kavanaugh said, very strongly, we have other ways we can go. There are numerous other ways you can go. And frankly, this should have been done by presidents many years ago. They allowed our country to be eaten alive. We lost 50% of our car business. We used to make cars, we made all the cars. And then Mexico came, Canada came, Japan and Germany. But they're all coming back now at record levels.

I’m honestly shaken by what the President said today. Praising Justice Kavanaugh for a dissent that he’s now using to justify even more unchecked power? This is not normal. This is dangerous. 😳🔥

Trump Secretly Considers Firing Kash Patel as Blunders Pile Up Donald Trump seems to have had enough of Kash Patel and his negative headlines. Here’s who could replace him as FBI director.

Trump’s MAGA-bred FBI circus is collapsing under its own corruption. Patel’s joyrides, purges, bogus “terror plots,” and adolescent swagger expose an administration so allergic to competence it treats law enforcement like a prop. This is authoritarian rot in real time. #DemocracyAlert

This isn’t normal. And it’s definitely not fine.

Crime is down, but armed troops are showing up in U.S. cities anyway. No local request. No clear need. So, what’s really going on here? When force replaces facts, it’s not about safety—it’s about control. Don’t look away.

A dramatic editorial illustration of a large government document with its pages lifting to reveal hidden mechanical gears, levers, and symbols such as the scales of justice, media towers, and the U.S. Capitol building. The hidden mechanisms are lit with ominous red highlights. In the foreground, four diverse citizens—two men and two women—shine flashlights and examine the document with magnifying glasses. The entire scene is bathed in deep blues and grays, with the document casting a shadow resembling authoritarian architecture in the background.

🚨 BREAKING: I just uncovered provisions buried in the new budget bill that should terrify every American.

This isn't about party politics. This is about our democracy's survival.

What I found reads like a dictator's playbook—and it's all "legal" under this bill. 🧵

RED FLAG: SB 1027 gives Oklahoma's Secretary of State power to "remove any gist that violates" subjective language requirements. This creates a political filter for which citizen initiatives can even begin collecting signatures. #DemocracyAlert

Trump administration weighs drone strikes on Mexican cartels The administration has increased surveillance flights over Mexico as it tries to track the powerful cartels that dominate the fentanyl trade.

Trump’s team considered bombing Mexico with drones. You read that right.

A second Trump term means crossing borders and shredding international law.

Speaker Johnson's threat to eliminate courts deserves more attention. What starts as rhetorical pressure can evolve into concrete policy. The judiciary's independence isn't optional—it's essential to our constitutional system of checks and balances.

Fun Fact:

Citizens United was a long-term GOP legal goal but after Obama’s grassroots rise, it became a Hail Mary. The Court expanded the case, unlocking unlimited corporate money to counter voters. Power shifted from people to billionaires.
