AP Photo/Julia Demaree Nikhinson Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) blamed President Donald Trump for a Democratic victory in Virginia on Tuesday, claiming that the president’s “betrayals” of parts of the MAGA movement would have “devastating consequences in the midterms.” Voters in Virginia voted to narrowly approved a mid-decade redistricting map that could give Democrats an electoral boost in ten out of eleven of the state’s House districts. The constitutional amendment allows the Democratic-controlled state legislature to implement a new districting plan without the approval of Virginia’s redistricting commission. Greene claimed Republicans had fallen out of favor with the “once red state” due to Trump’s and the GOP’s failure to deliver on their promises. “Virginia just voted to redraw House district lines, taking their state from 6D-5R to 10D-1R, eliminating 4 Republican seats just by redrawing the map,” she wrote on X. “A once red state is turning into one of the bluest states because people don’t want to support Republicans now.” She continued, calling out the president’s war with Iran, the release of documents relating to Jeffrey Epstein, and money’s role in the Republican Party as a few key causes for “a revolt on the right”: Trump betraying the America First wing of MAGA is going to have devastating consequences in the midterms. I’ve been warning of this all along. No more foreign wars and regime change (he started war in Iran), lowering inflation and cost of living (his war is increasing inflation and gas and diesel and it’s just starting), release the Epstein files (he fought it and called it a hoax) are some of the top issues that has caused a revolt on the right and a mass exodus of America First Trump voters. Add on the betrayals to the MAHA wing and it gets even worse. But it’s not just Trump, it’s the Republicans in the House and Senate too. They love the donations and the parties and praise they get from the big donors and lobbyists representing the big corporations. There wont be accountability. They will not drain the swamp. And Trump is not your retribution. It’s a tough pill to swallow, but open your eyes and look at the facts and take note of their actions. Stop lapping up their meaningless words. Our loved military is once again fighting in the Middle East, your money is paying for Israel’s war, and once again people… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - Trump Rages Against ‘Wacko James Carville’ and ‘Country Destroying Sleazeb...
President Donald Trump slammed Democratic strategist James Carville, calling him one of the “sleazebags” urging Democrats to play hardball against Republicans. Carville has said Democrats should seek to expand the number of justices on the Supreme Court to 13, and push for statehood for Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C. Conservatives currently hold a 6-3 majority on the high court. The Constitution does not specify a set number of justices, which has changed six times, but not since 1869. The nation’s capital, meanwhile, is constitutionally prohibited from being a state, but portions of the district can be carved out of the federal district and made into a separate entity to become a state. On Tuesday night, Trump ripped the proposals on Truth Social and reiterated his demand that Senate Republicans end the filibuster, which allows a minority of 41 senators to block most legislation. The president also criticized the conservative justices for being unable to “stick together” to rule in his favor – even though the court has sided with Trump far more often than not: Wacko James Carville, a so-called Democrat “strategist,” wants the Democrats to make D.C. and Puerto Rico States and, most importantly, pack the Supreme Court, putting 13 Justices on the Court. Other Dems want 21 Justices. If they pull off adding these two States, these Country Destroying Sleazebags will dominate politics in America, if we even have a Nation left, for 100 years (TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER!). They are already doing great with the Supreme Court, however. The Democrat Justices stick together like glue, totally loyal to the people and ideology that got them there. They are an immovable force, and there is nothing that can be done to change that. Frankly, I respect that, a lot! Certain Republican Appointees let the Democrats push them around, always wanting to be popular, politically correct, or even worse, wanting to show how “independent” they are, with very little loyalty to the man who appointed them or, more importantly, the ideology from which they came to be Nominated and Confirmed. Everyone knows that, as an example, Birthright Citizenship, which is Unconditional and Absent from any other developed or successful Country, is a disaster for the United States of America. No Country can be successful with such an anchor wrapped firmly around its neck but, based on the questioning by Republican Nominated Justices that I watched firsthand in the Court, we… [TheTopNews] Read More.4 hours ago - Trump Says He Can’t End Iran Blockade Without a Deal – ‘Unless We Blow Up ...
AP Photo/Alex Brandon, Pool President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he could not end the U.S. naval blockade of Iran without a deal, “unless we blow up the rest of their Country, their leaders included.” The president wrote on Truth Social that Iran did not want their crucial oil passway, the Strait of Hormuz, to be closed, claiming the country only shut the Strait to “save face” after the U.S. blockaded it. He wrote: Iran doesn’t want the Strait of Hormuz closed, they want it open so they can make $500 Million Dollars a day (which is, therefore, what they are losing if it is closed!). They only say they want it closed because I have it totally BLOCKADED (CLOSED!), so they merely want to “save face.” People approached me four days ago, saying, “Sir, Iran wants to open up the Strait, immediately.” But if we do that, there can never be a Deal with Iran, unless we blow up the rest of their Country, their leaders included! President DONALD J. TRUMP Trump’s post came hours after his announcement that he would be extending the two-week ceasefire with the country, before it was set to expire later on Tuesday. Iran closed the Strait at the start of the conflict, long before the U.S. blockade, which Trump instituted after unsuccessful peace negotiations in Pakistan last weekend. The president announced last week that the Strait of Hormuz had reopened due to the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon, claiming the U.S. blockade of the Strait would continue. The following day, Iran fired on an oil tanker passing through the Strait, leading Trump to announce Sunday that the U.S. Navy blew “a hole” in an Iranian ship that tried to evade the U.S. blockade. Vice President JD Vance was set to fly to Pakistan on Tuesday to begin another round of negotiations with Iran, but his flight was put on hold, with Iran claiming it had not yet agreed to talks.The post Trump Says He Can’t End Iran Blockade Without a Deal – ‘Unless We Blow Up The Rest Of Their Country’ first appeared on Mediaite.

Democrats are chalking up a major victory in Virginia after a redistricting vote earned them the chance to flip four House seats currently held by Republicans. Decision Desk HQ and others projected just before 9 p.m. on Tuesday that Democrats were set to win in the redistricting fight, earning a congressional map that further favors their side. Yes has officially overtaken No after a large drop in Fairfax. We don't anticipate No to retake the lead at any point tonight. pic.twitter.com/o0cHgYskYA — Decision Desk HQ (@DecisionDeskHQ) April 22, 2026 CNN’s Jeff Zeleny reported to Anderson Cooper when the vote count stood at 1.31 million in favor of the plan and 1.29 million against it. He said: CNN can project that the redistricting effort in Virginia has prevailed, that means the vote yes side, which largely will give Democrats up to four more seats in the House of Representatives, has defeated the vote no side. You can see the numbers there on your screen. They’re still coming in. And one of the reasons that we are projecting this now is that the vote in Fairfax County, which is a largely Democratic area [and] often slow to come in on election nights, but it’s now beginning to come in. So when you look at that, as well as the Democratic vote and other Democratic strong areas, this is why we’re projecting the yes side of this. Anderson, if you step back at this really a year into this redistricting fight that the president started with the the Texas effort, followed by California and now Virginia, it really is a wash now. Zeleny called the vote a “big deal” with the midterms just months away and Democrats looking to take control of Congress as President Donald Trump’s poll numbers continue to drop. The reporter also chalked the victory up as a “major win” for House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), who has been at the center of Democrats’ congressional redistricting fights. “This is a major win for him,” Zeleny said. “The yes side is going to prevail, CNN is projecting, so a big deal in the midterm election fight now just six months away here in D.C.” Watch above via CNN.The post JUST IN: Democrats Notch Major Redistricting Win In Virginia first appeared on Mediaite.

Wagner joined Ari Melber on MS NOW’s The Beat on Tuesday evening, where she reacted to Carlson offering an apology on his show this week for ever supporting and campaigning for Trump. Though he threw an endorsement Trump’s way, Carlson has become increasingly critical of him over issues like the Iran war. “I do think it’s like a moment to wrestle with our own consciences. You know, we’ll be tormented by it for a long time. I will be, and I want to say I’m sorry for misleading people, and it was not intentional. That’s all I’ll say,” Carlson said. Wagner first said she was “cynical” about Carlson’s declaration, though she eventually conceded that she feels the “tortured” Carlson was “genuine” in expressing remorse for throwing support behind Trump. She said: I guess it’s welcome if overdue. Pardon me for being a little cynical about the mea culpa. Ari, this is someone who witnessed Trump stage and foment an insurrection at the Capitol and still went and campaigned for the man. Like, did you not think his narcissism was malignant in early January of 2021? Because I sure did. Like, here was a man that clearly was going to stop at nothing, including tearing down our own democracy, to regain power. So the idea that it’s just dawned on him that this man’s moral compass may not be pointing in the right direction, and he may not be operating with the most strategic manual is like maybe a little bit late and maybe a little bit not as genuine as I wish it was. She ultimately concluded the public break from Trump for Carlson was a purposeful move that he can’t easily go back on. “This is hard for me to say, but it feels like the apology is genuine. And I also don’t know that you can find your way back to supporting Trump once you’ve had that sort of emotional, sort of almost therapy-like session,” Wagner said, adding, “I don’t think it should be making Democrats think that Tucker Carlson is going to go out on the campaign trail for them just yet.” Watch above via MS NOW.The post ‘This Is Hard For Me To… [TheTopNews] Read More.5 hours ago
- Two CIA Agents Die In Mexico Car Crash: ‘Were They Forced off the Road?’Two CIA case officers were killed on Sunday in a car crash in Mexico, Mexican officials said. Authorities in Chihuahua, where the crash occurred, said the two American agents and two Mexican officials were returning from a counter-cartel operation that sought to dismantle drug labs hidden in the area’s mountains. The Americans’ affiliation with the CIA was described to several outlets through sources familiar with the incident. CNN’s John Miller laid out the questions surrounding the deadly car crash on Tuesday’s edition of The Lead, telling host Jake Tapper that more needed to be learned about the nature of the crash. “Well, the CIA’s relationship with Mexico and the government there, and counter-narcotics effort is long and not much told about. But these are two case officers who died in a car accident coming back from a raid on a methamphetamine factory, basically,” said Miller. “The questions that have to be answered here are: let’s learn more about this car accident. What kind of car accident? Did they drive off the road? Were they forced off the road? Were they hit head-on? What is the nature of that? Can’t get much information on that through my reporting today.” Chihuahua Attorney General César Jáuregui said Sunday that the group was driving from the operation at night through the mountains when the truck “appears to have skidded at some point and fell into a ravine, exploding.” Mexican officials confirmed the car exploded in a ravine. Miller claimed there were additional questions surrounding the Mexican government’s involvement in the operation, a point which has yet to be fully explained in the days following the Sunday crash. “The other debate is on the part of the Mexican government saying, were they authorized to be operating with state authorities on operations,” said Miller. “But it’s not uncommon, Jake, to have CIA officers who are involved in training and helping to guide these operations, even if they are not actually involved in the in the in the the gun carrying and arresting part.” Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Monday that her cabinet was not aware of the operation with the CIA officials, claiming the Chihuahua government conducted the mission without informing her government. Sheinbaum demanded an explanation of the details of the operation, adding that an investigation would be launched to clarify if any Mexican national security laws had been broken. “There are no joint operations on land or in the… [TheTopNews] Read More.5 hours ago
