- BREAKING: Thomas Massie Loses to Trump-Backed Candidate in Most Expensive House ...
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) lost his reelection bid to former Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein, who earned President Donald Trump’s endorsement amid Massie and Trump’s growing feud. The Associated Press called Massie’s race on Tuesday night as the congressman sat at approximately 46%, or 38,000 votes, compared to Gallrein’s 55%, or 46,000 votes. The race was called with approximately 74% of the vote counted for the state’s fourth district. Massie has served seven terms since 2012. Massie’s primary race will go down as the most expensive primary House race on record amid the congressman’s growing feud with President Trump. The congressman publicly broke with the president on multiple issues, including the release of files related to the case of convicted child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein. Trump fired off his first tweet in months (typically choosing to post on Truth Social) on Tuesday in another attack on Massie. “Horrible Congressman Thomas Massie put out an old Endorsement, from many years ago, of him by me long before I found out that he was the Worst Congressman in the History of our Country. I endorsed Ed Gallrein, a true American Patriot, which Massie knows full well, so the statement that he put out is fraudulent, just like HE is fraudulent,” the president wrote. “WITHDRAW YOUR FAKE STATEMENT, MASSIE, RIGHT NOW! President DONALD J. TRUMP.” Even Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth made his way to Kentucky to campaign against Massie. “At some point, being against everything becomes an excuse for accomplishing nothing. At some point, constant obstruction is not leadership. It’s just commentary. It’s obstruction. President Trump does not need more people in Washington who are trying to make a point,” Hegseth said about the congressman. Massie argued before the primary election that pro-Israel lobbyists were partly behind the expensive campaign to remove him and called them “desperate.” “You can tell that I’m ahead in the polls and they’re desperate,” Massie said on Sunday. “That’s why they’re sending the Secretary of War to my district tomorrow. That’s why the president’s losing sleep and tweeting about this. That’s why AIPAC has dumped another $3 million into my race this weekend — is because they’re panicked, and they really haven’t been able to gain a lead in this race.” Watch above via Fox News.The post BREAKING: Thomas Massie Loses to Trump-Backed Candidate in Most Expensive House Primary Ever first appeared on Mediaite.

Photo by Reginald Mathalone/NurPhoto via AP. Congressional candidate Maureen Galindo (D-TX) said she would convert an ICE detention center into a “prison for American Zionists,” writing in a post last week that the center would perform castrations on pedophiles, meaning “most of the Zionists.” Galindo, a therapist currently running in the Democratic primary for Texas’s newly redrawn 35th congressional district, made the pitch for the “prison” in an Instagram post attacking her opponent, Johnny Garcia (D-TX). Referring to herself in the third person, Galindo claimed that “billionaire Zionists” were orchestrating a smear campaign against her. “The billionaire Zionists that control San Antonio and South Texas trafficking networks have coordinated a blitz campaign to propagate the conspiracy that anti-Zionist Maureen Galindo wants Jews in warehouses,” she wrote. The post continued: Ironically, Maureen wants all ICE detention centers and warehouses closed. Plus, she would never blame ALL Jews for THE Jews (the Zionists) who have committed genocide on the indigenous Jews (the Semites) of the Middle East. Real Jews are VICTIMS of the Fake Jews (the Zionists). Johnny Garcia is paid by Zionist terrorism and trafficking: Israel, ICE, and prison industry profits. Therefore, JOHNNY GARCIA IS BEING PAID TO PUT JEWS AND MEXICANS IN CONCENTRATION CAMPS VIA ZIONIST TRAFFICKING NETWORKS. This comes as no shock as Johnny has been protecting women and o child trafficking networks of Bexar County as the Sheriff’s Public Relations Officer. When Maureen gets into Congress, shell write legislation so that all Zionism and support of Zionism is undoubtedly Anti-Semitic, since it’s Zionists harming the Semites. She’ll turn Karnes ICE Detention Center into a prison for American Zionists and former ICE officers for human trafficking. (It will also be a castration processing center for pedophiles which will probably be most of the Zionists). Galindo has repeatedly pushed anti-Semitic rhetoric, claiming that Jewish people “own Hollywood” and going so far as to falsely assert that ICE had “headquarters and offices inside Israel” while calling for her opponent to be tried for treason. “This is an Israeli occupation of America,” she said on Texas Public Radio’s The Source with David Martin Davies. “In fact, I was thinking this morning, maybe Johnny Garcia and others who support him, or anybody who is supported by Israel, should be tried for treason.” The candidate has been widely condemned by both sides of the aisle, with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) calling her “openly bigoted” and Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) claiming… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - Republicans Vote Down Amendment That Would Prevent Trump From Paying Jan. 6 Defe...The House Rules Committee shot down an amendment that would prevent President Donald Trump’s administration from doling out taxpayer money to people criminally charged in connection with the Capitol riot. The Department of Justice announced on Monday the establishment of a $1.8 billion fund to compensate people who were supposedly unfairly targeted by the department. The fund is being created in exchange for Trump dropping his $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service, where in 2019 and 2020, a contractor leaked the president’s tax returns. The $1.8 billion has not been appropriated by Congress, and critics worry that at least some of it will be paid to people who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Indeed, a lawyer representing more than 400 Jan. 6 defendants has said his clients will seek payments. During a Rules Committee hearing on Tuesday, Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA) offered an amendment that would prevent people charged and convicted in connection with the Capitol riot from receiving money from the fund: I move the committee add a new section to the rule providing immediate consideration of HR 7711, the No Rewards for January 6 Rioters Act, so this bill would prohibit the use of federal funds to compensate individuals who were prosecuted for their involvement in the attack on the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021. Additionally, my motion would self-execute an amendment that would require the attorney general of the United States to disclose any payments made by the so-called anti-weaponization fund, which was created by the corrupt settlement agreement between Donald Trump and his own administration. This secret slush fund should be an outrage to every American, no matter your politics. Shortly afterward, the Republican-controlled committee voted down the measure. Later, an outraged McGovern took to social media. “Republicans just voted AGAINST my amendment to stop Trump’s $1.8 billion slush fund from bailing out the convicted felons who assaulted cops on January 6th,” he wrote. “You read that right. They blocked us from even debating the issue on the House floor. Beyond shameful.” Watch above via the House Rules Committee.The post Republicans Vote Down Amendment That Would Prevent Trump From Paying Jan. 6 Defendants With Taxpayer Money first appeared on Mediaite.

- Charlamagne Crowns Trump ‘Donkey of the Day’ for ‘Blatant Slap in the Face...Charlamagne tha God crowned President Donald Trump his “donkey of the day” over reports about an IRS settlement that could see the president receiving a $1.7 billion fund for allies who claim to have been wrongly targeted by the federal government. On Tuesday’s The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne went off on Trump and what critics have largely described as a “slush fund” for MAGA allies. According to an ABC News report, Trump could be in the initial stages of dropping a $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS over leaked tax returns in exchange for a $1.7 billion fund that would see amounts paid out to people who have been unfairly targeted by the IRS or Justice Department. The idea of the fund was reportedly settled on after lawyers could not figure out a way to pay the president directly. The report reads: Advocating a centuries-old legal principle known as the “rule of necessity,” DOJ lawyers have argued that no alternative existed other than letting the lawsuit proceed with Trump acting as the plaintiff while being directly in charge of the defendants — the IRS and Treasury — according to sources. Sources said that plan was ultimately scuttled in favor of the $1.776 billion compensation fund — with the figure being a nod to the nation’s founding — as the judge overseeing Trump’s IRS lawsuit began to raise issues with Trump suing the very government he leads. In an order last month, U.S. District Judge Katheen Williams ordered Trump’s lawyers in the case and the Department of Justice to submit court filings by next week to justify whether both sides of the case were sufficiently adverse for the matter to proceed. Charlamagne joined other critics in calling the potential deal “blatant corruption.” He continued: America, I don’t care what your race is, I don’t care what you party is, there is no way on God’s green earth that we can be okay with this. I know America loves a good scam. This country was built on pyramid schemes. All right, we live in an era where folks will get on a podcast to convince you to refinance your house to buy crypto, but using taxpayer dollars to create a $1.7 billion fund for your political allies? Do you understand how insane that sounds? Okay, Americans out here arguing over student loan forgiveness, and Medicaid cuts, affordable housing, and whether teachers deserve… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago
- JD Vance Says Hunter Biden Could Get Payout From Trump’s $1.8 Billion ‘Weapo...Vice President JD Vance suggested that Hunter Biden could receive remuneration from a $1.8 billion fund set up by President Donald Trump. On Monday, the Department of Justice announced it is establishing a $1.8 billion fund to compensate people who were supposedly unfairly targeted by the DOJ. The fund is being created in exchange for Trump dropping his $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service, where in 2019 and 2020, a contractor leaked the president’s tax returns. The $1.8 billion has not been appropriated by Congress, and critics worry that at least some of it will be paid to people who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. In fact, a lawyer representing more than 400 Jan. 6 defendants has said his clients will seek payments. Vance took questions from reporters in the White House briefing room on Tuesday, where Jonathan Karl of ABC News asked about the fund. “Why should taxpayers be paying to settle a $10 billion lawsuit that was brought by the president of the United States?” Karl asked. “And should people that attacked the Capitol building and assaulted police officers, should they be eligible? Should they receive money?” “I think in some ways, the media has misrepresented what this is actually about,” Vance responded. “This is about compensating Americans for the lawfare that we saw under the last administration. And by the way, anybody can apply for it.” The vice president then offered the possibility that Hunter Biden, who pleaded guilty to federal tax crimes during his father’s administration in 2024, is eligible to apply and potentially receive compensation. “Republicans can apply for it,” Vance continued. “Democrats can apply for it. As you know, the President of the United States has pardoned a number of Democrats who he felt were actually subject to this lawfare. I mean, if Hunter Biden wants to apply for this particular fund, he is welcome to. It’s gonna go through a normal process where we vet everything, where we try to identify whether people’s claims are actually legitimate.” Watch above via CNN.The post JD Vance Says Hunter Biden Could Get Payout From Trump’s $1.8 Billion ‘Weaponization’ Fund first appeared on Mediaite.

- ‘Cassidy Unchained’: Senator Goes Scorched Earth on Trump After Losing Prima...
Aaron Schwartz/Sipa USA via AP Images Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) seems determined to exit the Senate in a blaze of glory after losing his primary to a challenger endorsed by President Donald Trump, opposing several key priorities for the president. Cassidy ended up on Trump’s bad side when he was one of seven Senate Republicans who voted for conviction in the president’s second impeachment trial, which occurred in the wake of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol and Trump’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Cassidy was censured by the Louisiana Republican Party for his vote. The Louisiana senator is also a physician and has recently ramped up his criticism of Trump’s Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., adding to the animosity. Trump endorsed Rep. Julie Letlow (R-LA) over Cassidy and another MAGA Republican, former Rep. John Fleming (R-LA), a co-founder of the House Freedom Caucus who currently serves as Louisiana’s state treasurer. This set off a bitter primary battle rivaled in nastiness perhaps only by the Senate fight in neighboring Texas between Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Letlow and Fleming advanced to a primary runoff, and Cassidy was left out in the cold. The now lame duck senator took some verbal swings at Trump in his election night concession speech, saying that when you lose in a democracy, “you don’t pout, you don’t whine, you don’t claim the election was stolen,” and adding that he was not “bothered by being attacked on the internet,” because “insults only bother me if they come from somebody of character and integrity — and I find that people of character and integrity don’t spent their time attacking people on the internet.” On Tuesday after Trump announced he was endorsing Paxton over Cassidy’s fellow Republican incumbent Cornyn, the Louisiana senator offered a scathing response, telling a reporter he thought Paxton was a “felon.” (Note: Paxton was indeed charged with multiple felonies in a securities fraud case but managed to keep the case dragging along for years and in 2024, reached a deal with prosecutors that let him avoid pleading guilty if he paid restitution to the former clients he was accused of defrauding, completed 100 hours of community service, and took 15 hours of legal ethics courses.) Also on Tuesday, news broke that Cassidy said he would oppose Trump’s ballroom… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago
