Joe Rogan to MAGA: You're a bunch of 'unintelligent dorks'

Over the past decade, Joe Rogan has become one of the key media figureheads of the Trump movement. But while he may be hailed by a multitude of Trump supporters, yesterday he had a blunt message for them: MAGA is full of "weird" "dorks." Rogan's platform, The Joe Rogan Experience , is the most popular podcast in the world, boasting some 14.5 million followers on Spotify and holding top slots on Apple and Youtube. All told, its massive audience is purported to be 28 times larger than CNN's primetime viewership. That lends Rogan enormous influence to the point where his election-night endorsement likely played no small part in winning Trump his second presidency.

Caught again: Trump's new Sharpie tale joins a growing list of his debunked whoppers

At a Cabinet meeting on Thursday, President Donald Trump told a lengthy story about negotiating the creation of a personalized Sharpie pen. The only problem: the company that produces Sharpies denies it ever happened. Theoretically, Trump's tall tale was an attempt to prove his skill at saving money. It started with complaints about cost overruns tied to the renovation of the Federal Reserve building, but then the pen he was holding caught his attention, and it was tangent time.

Jill Biden's secret service agent shot their own leg

As if airports weren't stressful enough -- especially in recent weeks due to long lines resulting from the congressional DHS funding standoff -- on Friday morning, the Philadelphia International Airport had a particularly fraught moment when a Secret Service agent assigned to protect former first lady Jill Biden shot themselves in the leg. A spokesman for the U.S. Secret Service summed up the situation in a statement: "On Friday morning just after 8:30, an on-duty U.S. Secret Service Special Agent suffered a non-life-threatening injury following a negligent discharge while handling a service weapon at the Philadelphia International Airport during a protective assignment."

Trump's glee over foe's death shows just how broken and fragile he really is: columnist

Zeteo reporter John Harwood took a deep dive into President Donald Trump's continued rage about former special counsel Robert Mueller, who died last weekend at 81.

Trump's election raid goes to court as judge gets saddled with 'conspiracy theories'

President Donald Trump's push to find evidence of fraud in the 2020 election is facing an early legal hurdle, according to the Washington Post, with the FBI headed to court over allegations it used "conspiracy theories" and long-debunked lies to dupe a judge into signing a warrant for the raid on a Georgia election center. In late January, the FBI conducted a raid of an election center in Fulton County, Georgia, seizing a large amount of ballots and materials from the 2020 presidential election. Trump has long insisted, without concrete evidence, that widespread fraud tipped that race to Joe Biden, and has pushed his subordinates to conduct new investigations to dig up proof. Experts also fear that the raid will be used to build a pretense to meddle in future elections.

Former Republican aide tears into Trump's corruption

President Donald Trump is running an administration of "all madness," claims a former adviser to a different Republican president -- and it can all be traced back to his corruption. "My friends, it is all madness," former White House aide Steve Schmidt argued in a Thursday Substack post. "The White House is an asylum. The president is deranged. He is a predator and criminal, and he is immoral, abusive and dishonest. He is a liar and charter member of the Epstein class."

Federal judge dunks Trump lawyers for 'misstating the law' and 'misquotations'

President Donald Trump's Department of Justice appears to be catching his habit of playing loose with the facts. But the problem for his federal attorneys is they're delivering their bogus info to judges who appear to take issue with it.
