Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-AZ) praised “people like Nick Fuentes” and Alex Jones for expressing alarm over President Donald Trump’s mental state in a shocking moment during an interview with MeidasTouch and Migrant Insider’s Pablo Manríquez on Wednesday. Here’s how their conversation unfolded: MANRÍQUEZ: 25th Amendment you’ve been pressing on social media. You getting any feedback at all, negative or positive, from Republicans or purple districts at all? ANSARI: I think we’re getting a lot of positive feedback. I have been in, you know, very impressed actually to see non-elected, but Republicans, people like Tucker Carlson and former congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, people like Nick Fuentes, Alex Jones, people I never thought I would ever agree with on anything, recognize that Donald Trump is so mentally unstable, and he clearly is in a state of cognitive decline. And I’m grateful that Representative Raskin is leading the charge on this 25th Amendment Bill that has started an investigation into his cognitive decline, because he is unfit and he is a national security threat to the United States of America. MANRÍQUEZ: Trying to make a statement with this. I suspect no members of the committee think it’s going to be acted upon. Is [INAUDIBLE] a messaging tool in your mind? ANSARI: It is important that right now we do not act like anything that is happening is normal. And to that end, we cannot use the excuse of, “Oh, this isn’t going to pass, or this isn’t gonna go anywhere, or it’s not politically viable” as a reason to not put forward a response that is equivalent to what the crime is, or what, you know, the actions of the president are. So I feel very strongly about that. I think if we were to operate like everything’s normal, and we have a functioning Congress, and, you know, people will just do the right thing, then we should all just go home. Because that’s not the case at all. And so I believe in doing things differently, and speaking and acting just in line with what we believe with morally and, you know, in terms of what’s best for the United States. Ansari: I have been impressed to see Republicans like Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, people like Nick Fuentes, Alex Jones—people that I would never have thought I would agree with on anything—recognize that Trump is so mentally unstable.

Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-PA) grilled Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought on Wednesday during a House Budget Committee hearing. Boyle, the ranking member on the committee, fumed as Vought defended 15 million Americans losing their access to healthcare as a result of President Donald Trump’s so-called Big Beautiful Bill, which also ballooned the national debt. “In addition to the over $4 trillion it adds to our national debt, it eliminates healthcare coverage for more than 15 million Americans, according to the CBO. The Kaiser Family Foundation says it’s actually more than 17 million Americans who will lose their healthcare,” began Boyle, adding: Are they really all, according to you — really? You’re going to sit here with a straight face and say they’re all illegals, they’re all defrauding the system? That’s actually your position?” Vought replied, “With regard to the people that have lost that — that’s false–” Boyle cut in, “That’s laughable! I’m sorry.” “I’m sorry, I’ll give you a chance to respond,” added the Democrat. “A number of issues with regard to your comments there,” Vought replied as Boyle cut back in, “Wait, wait, wait. Number one. Sorry, wait, wait.” “Wait, reclaim my time. I just want to be clear — I’m citing, we acknowledge, the CBO figure. That’s where I’m getting the 15 million from, and the Kaiser Family Foundation says 17 million. You’re saying none of them are legitimately on this, even though we had one of them actually testify before us?” Boyle asked. Vought replied, “I didn’t say all of them are illegal. I said there’s also the benefit of people returning to the workforce because they are able-bodied individuals, or they should not have been on the system regardless, because of the inability to address fraud in the aftermath…” Boyle hit back, “Okay, so they’re all either illegals or defrauding the system?” Vought answered, “Well, that’s certainly not a provocative statement — that we have fraud all over the country, is it?” Boyle continued, “Sure, I imagine there is fraud in all sorts of private and public sector areas, but the idea that 15 million Americans are about to lose their healthcare — the single biggest loss of healthcare in American history, mind you, not even during the Great Depression did 15 million Americans lose their healthcare coverage — the idea that all of those people who are about to… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - U.S. Catholic Committee Fires Back at JD Vance’s ‘Theology’ Attack On the ...
Screenshot A committee of American Catholics on Wednesday issued a statement in response to Vice President JD Vance’s latest attack on Pope Leo XIV. Speaking at a Turning Point USA event at the University of Georgia on Tuesday, Vance said the Pope should “be careful when he talks about matters of theology.” The comment came as Pope Leo had repeatedly condemned the war in Iran and called for peace. “I think that one of the issues here is that if you’re going to opine on matters of theology, you’ve got to be careful,” Vance continued, “you’ve got to make sure it’s anchored in the truth. And that’s one of the things that I try to do and it’s certainly something I would expect from clergy, whether they’re Catholic or Protestant.” The next day, U.S. bishops’ Committee on Doctrine claimed that Pope Leo wasn’t merely trying to “opine” as Vance suggested. The statement read: In light of recent public comments regarding the Catholic Church’s teaching on war and peace, Bishop James Massa, chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Doctrine, issued the following statement: ‘For over a thousand years, the Catholic Church has taught just war theory and it is that long tradition the Holy Father carefully references in his comments on war. A constant tenet of that thousand-year tradition is a nation can only legitimately take up the sword ‘in self-defense, once all peace efforts have failed’ (Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 2308). That is, to be a just war it must be a defense against another who actively wages war, which is what the Holy Father actually said: ‘He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war.’ When Pope Leo XIV speaks as supreme pastor of the universal Church, he is not merely offering opinions on theology, he is preaching the Gospel and exercising his ministry as the Vicar of Christ. The consistent teaching of the Church is insistent that all people of good will must pray and work toward lasting peace while avoiding the evils and injustices that accompany all wars. BREAKING: The U.S. bishops’ Committee on Doctrine just issued a formal statement defending Pope Leo XIV's teaching authority on just war doctrine — less than twelve hours after JD Vance told a Turning Point USA crowd the pope should “be careful” talking theology.

AP Photo/Gregorio Borgia Pope Leo XIV continued advocating for peace in several social media posts Wednesday, undaunted by recent criticism from President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance. Recently, Trump has been dialing up the aggressiveness of his attacks on Leo for his outspoken advocacy against numerous wars, including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and more recently the U.S. and Israeli strikes in Iran, as well as criticizing the Trump administration’s immigration policies. Earlier this month, Trump posted a lengthy rant on his Truth Social account, lambasting the pope as “WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy” — plus taking credit for Leo, formerly known as Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, becoming the first American pope last year. The pope has previously criticized the Trump administration directly, objecting to his immigration policies, taking issue with Vice President JD Vance’s comments about the theological concept of ordo amoris, and rejecting Trump’s invitation to join his newly-formed “Board of Peace.” The war in Iran has sparked more intense and express critiques from the pontiff; last month he urged Christian political leaders who start wars to examine their “conscience” and “go to confession.” On Sunday, the president posted and then deleted a meme showing him as Jesus healing a sick man. Trump claimed he thought it was showing him as a doctor or Red Cross worker — a claim that was met with immediate skepticism, as well as widespread backlash, including from Trump’s MAGA base. Vance, who converted to Catholicism in 2019, has joined Trump in criticizing Leo, scolding the pontiff to “be careful” when talking about “matters of theology” — a comment that drew its own round of backlash. On Wednesday, Leo published several social media posts during his trip to Africa on the subjects of war and peace. Let us reject the logic of violence and war, and embrace peace founded on love and justice—an unarmed peace, not based on fear, threats or weapons. This peace is disarming, because it is capable of resolving conflicts, opening hearts, and generating trust, empathy, and hope.

Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison will be hosting a small dinner “honoring” President Donald Trump next week as his company awaits federal approval for its $111 billion merger with Warner Bros. Discovery, according to multiple reports. Ellison sent invites for the “intimate gathering” — first reported by Breaker on Tuesday night — that will take place in Washington, D.C. on April 23, two days before the annual White House Correspondents’ Association bash. The dinner will also honor CBS News’ White House correspondents. It comes two months after Paramount Skydance beat out Netflix in the battle to buy WB Discovery. The deal will put CNN under Ellison’s control, as well as other properties like HBO and its film studio. The dinner also follows Ellison getting the regulatory green light from Trump’s Justice Department and the FCC last year for the $8 billion Paramount-Skydance deal. That deal put Ellison in charge of CBS, and he quickly installed The Free Press co-founder and editor Bari Weiss as the new boss of CBS News. Trump said last year he would “be involved” in the WB Discovery deal, and the New York Post reported the Trump admin favored Paramount over Netflix. The president called Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos a “great person” late last year, but a last-minute canceled meeting between Trump and Sarandos in February led to speculation Netflix pulled out of negotiations over fear it would not get government approval. Ellison’s dinner party for Trump and the CBS News crew will be held at the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace — which the president renamed last year from the U.S. Institute of Peace. Trump’s name has since been added to the building’s exterior. That came around the same time he added his name to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Trump has said he will attend the WHCA party on April 25 for the first time as president. CBS News has invited Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and longtime Trump adviser Stephen Miller as its guests to the event.The post David Ellison Hosting Private Trump Dinner While Awaiting Admin Approval to Buy CNN first appeared on Mediaite.

Ilhan Omar (D-MN) dismissed multiple potential investigations into her as clout chasing by Republicans, insisting they can investigate “whatever you want.” Omar was asked about multiple probes during a Wednesday appearance on The Breakfast Club. The lawmaker is facing multiple potential investigations, though she stressed she’s seen nothing official. House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-KY) has pushed for an ethics investigation into a recent increase in the net worth of Omar’s husband, saying companies where her husband has an ownership stake saw massive increases, including from a $51,000 value to $30 million from 2023 to 2024. Trump has referenced concerns about Omar’s husband as well, calling for her to be investigated for “political crimes.” Republicans have mainly cited the wealth of Omar’s husbands as part of probes, but Vice President JD Vance also accused her of committing immigration fraud, which Omar has long denied. “We actually think that Ilhan Omar definitely committed immigration fraud against the United States of America,” he said in March. “Suggest all you want. Please investigate what you want, right? Like to me, I’m not like, I’m above the law and how dare you. You know, I understand politics. I understand what these people have to do in order to like feed their base,” Omar said on Wednesday. She continued: It’s not accountability because they haven’t done anything formally, right? So it is just politics. It’s like, we’re going to subpoena, we’re going to do this, it’s all of these things that are not that they’re never going to. So they’re, just saying it because then that gets them an interview on Fox or Newsmax or, you know, you’ll see they tweet and like five minutes later, if you check, they already got a clip of themselves being interviewed five seconds later. And so it is more about — and it’s usually like a lot of members that struggle to get or are, like, really desiring, right, like, there are a lot members who come to Congress and they are comms heavy. Their office is very comms-heavy. You know, they’re trying to get on every TV show that they can. And so that’s what a lot of it is driven by since I got there. You know, it’s like, you say something about Ilhan, people fundraise, you know, they’ll buy me a ticket back home, it’s like all of this stuff. Watch above via… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
