Jim Jordan got his butt handed to him by Democratic Representative Stacey Plasket during a hearing this week. Plasket called out Jordan, and many other Republican lawmakers, for making a mockery of the hearing process and for blindly following Donald Trump's orders to pretend that the government is being weaponized against them - orders that Republicans like Jordan are all too eager to follow...

 According to a new report from a journalist who claims they witnessed the event, Donald Trump was seen during court on Tuesday editing angry speeches that were later given to the press outside the courtroom by his allies. If true, this constitutes an egregious violation of his gag order, as it would be proof that he is directing his friends about what to say and who to attack - including the peop...

 According to a lengthy new analysis of Donald Trump's tax records, the former president appears to have written off losses for his Chicago skyscraper in two separate tax years, meaning that he was double-dipping on tax breaks. If this audit is correct, that means that Trump scammed the government out of roughly $100 million that he could be forced to pay back once the IRS has finished with h...

Reports over the weekend suggested that Donald Trump was considering picking Nikki Haley to be his running mate, but insiders said that this was only if Haley agreed to pay his legal bills. Trump was not happy about this leaked information, and he blasted the report on Truth Social claiming that Haley is NOT under consideration. At this point, Haley as VP might be Trump's only shot at winning...

Judge Juan Merchan had to lay into Donald Trump's legal team on Friday morning after they tried to subpoena records from the Manhattan district attorney's office long after discovery ended. Trump's lawyers were seeking records related to former prosecutor Mark Pomerantz who publicly resigned from the DA's office after Alvin Bragg shut down an investigation into Trump. But Merch...

Alina Habba is doing Donald Trump's dirty work for him, and that could land him in even more trouble with Judge Juan Merchan. As part of his gag order, Trump is forbidden from even directing anyone to attack witnesses in the case, yet Alina Habba appeared on Fox News this week to do exactly that. And since Trump pays her to be a spokesperson, that could easily be viewed as a violation of the...

 Donald Trump and his allies threw a major fit at the start of the criminal trial when they claimed that the judge wouldn't let Trump skip court for Barron's high school graduation. That was a lie, and the judge said they'll deal with that when they get there, and he's now allowed Trump to attend the graduation. But, as usual, this was all a ruse, and Trump is actually planning...

Alina Habba's legal career has certainly taken an interesting turn, as she has now been reduced to spending her days acting as a babysitter for Donald Trump in the courtroom. Habba has been showing up at Trump's criminal trial, in spite of the fact that she's not representing him in this case. Trump's people are worried that he's going to blow up in court, so he's now...

Donald Trump showed up at a Miami speedway this past weekend for a Formula 1 race. But instead of hosting a fundraiser in a luxury suite like he had planned, he ended up firing off 31 posts on Truth Social in an hour because the venue told him he wasn't allowed to host a fundraiser on their property. Trump ranted about everything from California Governor Gavin Newsom to the hosts on Fox that...

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell was a guest at one of the rallies that Donald Trump held on Wednesday, and his performance wasn't exactly filled with truth. Lindell told the crowd that all the Democrats he's spoken to said that they are voting for Trump in this year's election. This isn't just a lie - it is a dangerous statement that gives people like Lindell and Trump cover to claim...

Donald Trump's brain appeared to completely short circuit during an interview with a local news reporter this week. Trump began talking about the crime rate in Venezuela and how they were sending all their "criminals" to America, but when the host asked where that information came from, all Trump could say was "uhhhhh..." The former President was caught in a lie and he kne...

Newsmax host Eric Bolling had a complete meltdown this week over a clip of President Biden eating a salad. Bolling claimed that the President can barely feed himself and yet he has access to the nuclear codes. But the clip doesn't even back up Bolling's claims that Biden was struggling - it just showed a man eating a salad that he didn't seem particularly enthusiastic about eating....

Republican House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan didn't realize that he was walking into the lion's den on Sunday morning when he appeared on Fox News, but he was quickly eaten alive by host Maria Bartiromo. Jordan got torched by the usually-friendly host about conducting investigations into Biden for over a year and having absolutely nothing to show for it, before adding that Republicans...

A new report has confirmed that Donald Trump's Trump Media and Technology Group sought H-1B visas for prospective employees so that they could bring in foreign labor to work at the company. This revelation by itself is not that bad, but it becomes that way when you remember that Donald Trump specifically railed against these types of visas and didn't want them to be used anymore. Like mo...

 Donald Trump has not been shy about letting the world know how angry he is about being stuck in a courtroom for his criminal trial, and he's been showing his visible disdain for the proceedings while sitting in the courtroom. Sources close to Trump spoke to CNN this week and expressed their concerns about his anger going out of control, which could result in him blowing up in court - which w...

Donald Trump is losing a lot of sleep as he frets about his legal troubles, and at 2 a.m. on Wednesday morning he sent out a frantic post on Truth Social where he begged Republicans to step in and stop his trial. Trump is definitely wearing his emotions on his sleeve, and it isn't a good look. His mind is going to keep deteriorating as this process drags on. Also, things are going from bad to...

 Over the weekend, Donald Trump called for his supporters to show up in large numbers to protest his prosecution at the New York courthouse. Instead of being greeted by hordes of his supporters, there were about 10 people that showed up to protest his prosecution. The former President was furious, and once again got on Truth Social to beg people to show up and let him know that he is loved. Also, ...

During an appearance on CNN this past weekend, Republican Congressman Tony Gonzalez went scorched earth against some of his Republican colleagues, paying particular attention to Matt Gaetz. Not only did Gonzalez say that he serves with "some real scumbags" in Congress, but he also made shocking allegations about Gaetz's behavior that is currently being investigated by the House Ethi...

Following Donald Trump's repeated violations of the gag order against him, Judge Juan Merchan was left with little choice but to punish Trump and his legal team. The judge ruled late last week that the names of the first three witnesses that the prosecution is going to call will remain sealed, preventing Trump's team from being ready for what is coming once the trial fully commences. Thi...

Judge Juan Merchan has set a hearing for Tuesday to discuss Donald Trump's violations of the gag order against him, and prosecutors are coming with all the ammo that they can find. On Thursday, they informed the judge that Donald Trump had violated at least 7 times already since jury selection began on Monday. Given the drama surrounding the doxxing of the jury, it is possible that the judge...

Things are getting dicey with the ongoing criminal trial of Donald Trump, as multiple jurors have now been doxxed, and some have even quit over fears that they will be exposed to the public. This is not a normal situation at all, and the judge has had to issue stern warnings to those doing the doxxing. Unfortunately, those warnings have stopped nothing, and the jurors are still at an enormous risk...

Like most people, Jimmy Kimmel is having a fun time watching Donald Trump's stock price fall to the floor, and he took a shot at Trump's failing company during a monologue this week. This didn't sit well with Trump, and he got on Truth Social to launch an absolutely unhinged tirade against the late night talk show host. But Kimmel's critique of the Truth Social stock is accurat...

Alina Habba might not be representing Donald Trump in his hush money trial, but she is certainly defending him in the media. Habba was on Sean Hannity's program on Monday night to lie on Trump's behalf about what happened in the trial. Her defense of the former President was so bad and so untrue that legal scholars had to roast her on social media. Habba gave a stunningly stupid defense...

On Sunday evening, the day before his fraud trial began, Donald Trump fired off a series of posts on Truth Social where he very clearly violated the gag order against him by attacking two of the witnesses against him. First, he went after former Manhattan prosecutor Mark Pomerantz and then he went after Michael Cohen. The original gag order expressly prohibited Trump from attacking any of the witn...

Lauren Boebert's son Tyler is facing serious felony charges related to an alleged "crime spree" that he was a part of and was recently arrested for. The young Boebert was in court recently where he told a judge that he's struggling to pay for a lawyer because they are so expensive, and the judge agreed to give him more time to find one and then complimented the boy on the way h...
