- Stephen Miller Criticized After Changing Definition of ‘America First’ on Fo...
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller was hit with backlash from conservatives on Thursday after he changed the definition of “America First” on Fox News to mean the complete opposite of its original intention. “I don’t think that people understand the Trump doctrine is not isolationism,” said Fox News host Sean Hannity during an interview with Miller on Wednesday. “Maybe you can help set them straight.” Miller responded by giving a definition of “America First,” which sounded much closer to the neoconservative doctrine that allies of the president used to condemn: The president has made clear that he believes America’s awesome military might should be used to protect and defend America’s interests. Not to surrender the world to our adversaries, to our enemies, to those who would do us harm. Not to surrender the world’s resources, lanes of commerce, or capacity to keep our citizens safe. No, America First means America will be the greatest, most unquestioned, unmatched power in the world, and it means we will defend American lives, and yes, we will avenge American blood. Iran has waged war against the American people, this regime, for 47 years. Miller’s comments received backlash on social media. “That’s not what America First means,” reacted The American Conservative senior editor Andrew Day. “America First means that the U.S. government, which derives its power and legitimacy from the American people, should advance their interests (not Israel’s).” That's not what America First means. America First means that the U.S. government, which derives its power and legitimacy from the American people, should advance their interests (not Israel's). https://t.co/QlUe6vxebE — Andrew Day (@AKDay89) March 5, 2026 “Turns out ‘America First’ can mean whatever you want it to mean,” weighed in conservative commentator Matt Lewis.

AP Photo/Yuki Iwamura President Donald Trump has reportedly floated Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) as a possible replacement for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in private conversations with GOP allies this week as reports swirl that he is on the verge of firing her. The news comes after a contentious week of congressional testimony for Noem that had allegedly angered the president so much that he began calling key congressional Republicans to question whether he should replace her, Punchbowl News first reported on Thursday. During those conversations, in a further revelation published just hours later, The New Republic reported that the president had pushed Mullin’s name several times when discussing who could take up the role if Noem was to go. Speaking with reporters on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, Mullin denied any discussions with the White House about a potential shake-up. “I haven’t talked to the president,” the Republican said, adding: “I haven’t talked to him about the hearing at all, I can’t help you there, I’m sorry.” Trump reportedly grew furious after Noem’s back and forth with Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) during a Senate Judiciary hearing on Wednesday, when she suggested, under oath, that the president had approved a $220 million taxpayer-funded ad campaign for the DHS. This came with further scrutiny of the contracting process for that campaign, including a no-bid deal and subcontracting ties to Noem’s political allies. No decision on Noem’s future has been announced.The post Here’s the Top Contender to Replace Noem After Bombshell Report Trump May Fire Her first appeared on Mediaite.

There is nothing-, he’s not a moderate, he’s a-, he and Jasmine Crockett had basically the same positions on almost every issue. He’s a populist, he’s progressive, he’s pretty far to the left on a lot of issues, but mostly he’s an outsider. And you could see that in the results yesterday where-, or on Tuesday, where he basically carried all of the counties that Bernie Sanders carried in the 2020 primary against Joe Biden,” observed Heilemann. “His coalition is the coalition of upscale professionals, young voters, hardcore progressives, and, as you pointed out, Hispanics. That’s where the Barack Obama thing comes into play, because if you think about Barack Obama in 2008 in the primary, his coalition was exactly the same, except swapping in African-Americans for Hispanics, who Hillary Clinton dominated with. He then later went on to capture a lot of Hispanic vote, and Talarico’s job now to go and appeal to a lot of those Black voters who preferred Jasmine Crockett.” “But that’s not just the making of a coalition that can win in Texas, that’s the making of a coalition that can win pretty much anywhere in the Democratic Party. And I will say that part of the key thing is, he codes as moderate to a lot of people because of his religiosity, because he is a former seminarian, a practicing church pastor, and that is a thing that people take, they walk away from that thinking, ‘well, he’s not a partisan progressive despite his position on issues.’ That gets him in the door with a lot of voters, including a lot Hispanic voters who are pretty populist and progressive on economic issues, but pretty culturally conservative.” Watch above via MS NOW.The post MS NOW’s John Heilemann Admits James Talarico Is ‘Pretty Far to the Left’ first appeared on Mediaite.

Screenshot The most intense media argument of the week was not about the war with Iran. It was about whether journalists are allowed to report on it. The clash began at the Pentagon, where Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth accused the press of emphasizing American casualties in order to make President Donald Trump look bad. This spawned sharp pushback from CNN anchor Jake Tapper, who effectively called out the absurdity of Hegseth’s claim. Hours later, CNN’s Kaitlan Collins asked White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt whether the administration believed the deaths of U.S. service members should receive less prominence in coverage of the conflict. Leavitt rejected the premise in a rather spirited manner, and pivoted to a broader charge that CNN treats every development as an opportunity to damage the president. By evening, the dispute had moved onto television, where both CNN anchors pushed back sharply, and Pentagon reporters defended the longstanding practice of reporting on fallen troops. Of course, they were right to do so. When Americans die in combat, the country learns their names. That principle has held through wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and through administrations of both parties. Casualty reporting connects the public to the human cost of decisions made in Washington and carried out on distant battlefields. It’s not only a time-honored tradition, but the right way to honor those who lost their lives. But the fight over this story was in and of itself revealing. Whether it was a deliberate distraction or just a reflexive “blame the liberal media” swing, challenging the legitimacy of casualty coverage forced journalists into a defensive posture around the most unimpeachable thing they do — naming the dead. The press responded exactly as expected. Most anchors, reporters, and commentators that covered the story defended the practice and rejected the claim that honoring fallen service members is political. Fox News notably sat this one out. Lost in that argument was a harder question about the war itself, and how the media covers it from afar. For all the heat surrounding the White House clash with CNN, the conflict itself remains unusually opaque. Much of the information reaching American audiences flows through official channels — Pentagon statements, Israeli military briefings, and dramatic footage of missiles striking targets or ships sinking beneath the waterline. The images are compelling and the events depicted are real. The vantage point behind them belongs largely to the… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - WATCH: House Democrat Corners Kristi Noem on Fishy $143M Contract She Doled Out ...Neguse: Where is this company headquartered? Noem: I don’t know. Neguse: I don’t know either. We can’t find it. We did find an address that’s registered to a political operative. This company that received 143 million dollars was incorporated 8 days before this contract went… pic.twitter.com/wxRi9NJ7Lb — Acyn (@Acyn) March 4, 2026 Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem struggled to explain why her department awarded a $143 million advertising contract to a company formed just days earlier and with connections to a Republican political operative during a tense congressional hearing on Wednesday. At a hearing of the House Oversight Committee, Rep. Joe Neguse (D-CO) grilled Noem over the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) decision to award lucrative no-bid contracts to Safe America Media, a little-known firm that produced a series of ads tied to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Reading from a DHS notice, Neguse noted that the department had identified only four companies out of “hundreds of thousands of companies in the United States” as potential candidates for the campaign. “One of those is this Safe America Media Company. Where is Safe America Media headquartered?” Neguse asked. “I don’t know,” Noem replied. “I don’t know either, Madam Secretary,” the congressman replied. “We can’t find it. We can’t find a website. We did find an address that’s registered for this company. Do you know where that address is?” “Is there a problem with this contract?” Noem complained. “I’ll tell you about it!” Neguse replied, as the secretary continued to talk, prompting him to ask her to allow him to finish. “The company is registered to a political operative in Virginia. Do you know, just by way of example, whether this company, which received $143 million in taxpayers’ dollars, has it ever done work for the government before?” “I don’t know,” Noem said. Neguse shot back: “The answer is it has not! And do you know why we know that? Because it was incorporated 8 days before this contract went out!” The congressman’s questioning came after reporting by ProPublica, which found the newly-formed company was paid millions by DHS between February and August 2025 for the ad campaign. The company, which had no track record of past federal work, shares an address linked to property owned by Republican political operative Michael McElwain. Neguse continued: “You want the American people to believe that this is all above board? That $143 million… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago
