- Former Trump White House Attorney Warns President Is Trying to Manipulate Electi...
Ty Cobb, who served as a White House attorney during President Donald Trump’s first administration, warned that Trump is putting his whole fist on the scale to help Republicans in November’s midterm elections. On Thursday night, the president ousted the three remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission, an independent federal board. Trump fired the two Democrats on the commission and allowed the remaining Republican to resign. The fourth and final seat was already vacant. Any new commissioners must be nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate. The commission cannot have more than two members of the same party. The EAC trains election officials in new voting technology, manages the national mail voter registration form, and oversees a testing and certification program for voting machines, some of which Trump baselessly claimed took votes away from him and gave to former President Joe Biden in the 2020 election. Trump falsely maintains the election was rigged against him. Cobb joined Friday’s installment of The Beat on MS NOW, where he offered his reaction to the ousters on the EAC and Trump’s broader efforts to help the GOP heading into November. “I do think that you can’t look at the termination of the Election Assistance Commission as anything other than another effort by one side to try to take over part of the referee role for the elections,” Cobb said. “It’s not the most important federal entity, but it is the entity that provides funds, provides training, provides assistance to the state election officials in preparing for federal elections.” Cobb called the ousters “part of a deliberate plan” and added: We have to go to 30,000 feet, I think, and look at how unbalanced things have gotten before we talk about what the balance is now, which is, we now have a president who, despite losing by seven million votes, which is undisputed in 2020 and bringing 63 lawsuits alleging voter fraud in which he lost every single one of them, who had an attorney general who told him that there was no evidence of voter fraud that would justify any any investigations or contesting any of the elections. Now trying to use hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayer money, multiple federal agencies, ICE, the National Guard, and every federal agency that he can get control of with his own people, putting in election deniers, sprinkling them throughout the… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - White House Melts Down at ‘Obsessive’ Media After Walmart Torpedoes Trump’...
AP Photo/David Zalubowski The White House trashed The Bulwark editor Sam Stein and other “obsessive” media outlets on Friday after Walmart undercut President Donald Trump’s claim that the retail giant was lowering grocery prices at his administration’s request. Trump declared on Truth Social earlier this week that Walmart had agreed to slash prices in response to his administration. “Great news!” Trump wrote on Monday. “I have just been informed that one of the biggest, best, and smartest Retailers in America, Walmart, will be lowering prices, by a lot, at my Administration’s request to celebrate our great Country’s 250th birthday.” He continued to say that Walmart would be “dropping the price for a pound of ground beef by almost 15%, among many other products,” calling it “a huge deal for the many millions of Americans who, smartly, shop at Walmart.” Naturally, he trashed former President Joe Biden, adding: “My Administration is lowering prices that Joe Biden incompetently raised with the worst inflation crisis in history.” Screengrab via Truth Social Walmart did announce price reductions, but the president’s claim came under renewed scrutiny on Thursday after a spokesperson at the chain told The Bulwark that the “Rollback” had been launched last week, long before Trump’s post. When Stein highlighted the discrepancy on X, White House Senior Deputy Press Secretary Kush Desai accused the media of having a “pathological” need to “undermine” Trump. The President and Walmart’s announcement was that the sale is extending all summer long. This is a big win for Americans. The media’s obsessive need to try to undermine any good news when it affects President Trump is pathological. https://t.co/K0CPTgfBLM — Kush Desai (@KushDesai47) July 10, 2026 “The President and Walmart’s announcement was that the sale is extending all summer long,” Desai wrote. “The media’s obsessive need to try to undermine any good news when it affects President Trump is pathological.”The post White House Melts Down at ‘Obsessive’ Media After Walmart Torpedoes Trump’s Victory Lap first appeared on Mediaite.

Jose Luis Magana/AP photo FBI Director Kash Patel was reportedly called to the White House on Friday, forcing him to cancel a planned weekend trip to Chicago to see his girlfriend perform, as frustration with the bureau chief has grown among senior officials in President Donald Trump’s administration. According to an exclusive report from MS NOW, Patel had been scheduled to travel in the bureau’s jet to Chicago, where his girlfriend, country singer Alexis Wilkins, was set to perform Saturday at the White City Smokeout music festival. But the outlet reported that Patel abruptly canceled the trip Friday morning after being summoned to the White House. MS NOW reported that the precise reason for the last-minute meeting remains unclear, though multiple sources said top administration officials have become increasingly frustrated with Patel over a series of controversies, including scrutiny surrounding his government-funded travel. Among the incidents cited by sources was Patel’s Friday morning response to MS NOW’s coverage of his travel, in which he wrote: “my jet ski is gold plated…dumbass.” The report also said Patel’s travel practices have attracted congressional scrutiny. According to MS NOW, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) questioned Patel in a May letter about his use of FBI aircraft and the purchase of armored BMWs for his travel around Washington. Congressional Democrats separately raised concerns after receiving information alleging Patel requested special accommodations on official trips, including a jet ski excursion and a helicopter tour. The FBI has disputed those allegations and said Patel has complied with federal travel rules. MS NOW further reported that Patel’s Chicago itinerary included a visit to the FBI’s Chicago field office, though some current and former law enforcement officials questioned whether the stop had been added to justify the trip. One source familiar with the canceled travel told the outlet, “Patel was coming (to Chicago) today for a fake office visit for his girlfriend’s country concert this weekend.” The same source said Patel “cancelled the trip while on the tarmac at Andrews” and was “summoned to the White House immediately,” adding it was “apparent panic” and “believed to be in response to his morning tweet today.” Another source involved in efforts to improve Patel’s standing with the White House told MS NOW, “With everything going on in the war, how are you not outside the Oval Office ready to go into the Situation Room?” White House spokesperson Steven… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - Trump Administration Reportedly Gives Iran Deadline for New Ultimatum: ‘We Wan...
AP Photo/Alex Brandon, Pool President Donald Trump’s administration is reportedly demanding that Iran publicly commit to ending attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and acknowledge fault for the recent attacks by Saturday, Axios reported on Friday. According to Axios’ Barak Ravid, U.S. officials conveyed the message directly to Tehran and through regional intermediaries after accusing Iran of violating the memorandum of understanding (MOU) reached with Washington three weeks ago. The administration alleges Iran repeatedly fired on commercial vessels in the Strait, prompting multiple military exchanges and leading Trump to declare the ceasefire “OVER” this morning. U.S. officials reportedly view the incidents as a major test of whether Tehran can be trusted to uphold any broader nuclear agreement. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is expected to meet with Omani Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi in Oman’s capital on Saturday to discuss the ongoing dispute over the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. officials expect Iran to issue a public statement following the talks, per Axios. “We want them to publicly say that they will stop shooting at ships and explicitly, or at least implicitly, acknowledge that they screwed up. We are working on that now,” one U.S. official told the outlet. “We expect the Iranians to say … that every channel in the strait will be open and that it will be toll-free.” “If it is not their position [tomorrow], it is not gonna be a great day for them,” another U.S. official added. Axios also reported that U.S. officials believe competing factions within Iran’s government are divided over how to proceed with the agreement. One official claimed Iranian representatives contacted the Trump administration after this week’s clashes, saying, “They told us, ‘We screwed up. We made a mistake. Let’s keep talking.'” Iran publicly disputes that account. Foreign ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei denied Friday that Tehran had sought negotiations with the United States, while maintaining that Iran remains committed to ensuring safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz in coordination with Oman.The post Trump Administration Reportedly Gives Iran Deadline for New Ultimatum: ‘We Want Them To Publicly Say…’ first appeared on Mediaite.
