'John Brennan's days as a free man are numbered': CPAC speaker

President Donald Trump was likely pleased with the statements made by three of America's premiere conservative thinkers at a Thursday evening panel at CPAC. Even as they denounced so-called persecution of Republicans under Democratic presidents, all three of them -- including a Trump administration official --called for former special counsel Jack Smith and former CIA Director John Brennan to be arrested for doing their jobs in ways Trump disliked.

'Has-beens, never-weres and a felon' comprise candidates in Trump country: conservative

Conservative Dispatch CEO and editor Steve Hayes visited Bonita Springs, Florida, during campaign season and says he found the kind of political personalities you get in "Trump country." Former U.S. Rep. Madison Cawthorn was one of the first personalities Heyes shined a light on trying to nab Florida's 19^th Congressional District. In his article, titled "Meet the Has-Beens, Never-Weres, and Felon Locked in a Trumpy Primary," he makes clear he is not impressed.

Swing state mothers 'overwhelmed' by Trump's America

According to a survey of mothers in swing states, things are not going well during President Donald Trump's second administration. Citing high prices and a constant onslaught of bad news, they report that they're feeling "overwhelmed" and question who "you can trust these days." This insight comes via Navigator Research, a polling firm that gathered mothers between the ages of 27-48 from seven key swing states to discuss their feelings on how the country is faring. The results were not optimistic, with the mothers reporting high levels of angst and little confidence that either political party can fix it.

Trump's latest attempt to manipulate the midterms just 'flopped'

President Donald Trump's attempt to steal the 2026 midterm elections is in trouble, at least if the most relevant election results are to be believed. "After Democrats snagged a likely House seat in Salt Lake City County, Utah, in February, the GOP was furious," The New Republic's Finn Hartnett reported on Thursday. "Republicans control all four House districts in Utah, and despite about 40 percent of residents voting Democrat in 2024, they considered losing even one unacceptable."

Trump has utterly lost the battle in key 'battleground' state: report

President Donald Trump won his second term in 2024 thanks to a volley of battleground states swinging unexpectedly in his direction. Critical so-called "blue wall" states fell to Trump in the wee hours of the November 2024 ballot count. But next time around, Wisconsin does not look like it will be among them, reports The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

'Snide' Trump beats up on JD Vance over Iran: report

Vice presidents are traditionally the heir apparent when the president prepares to leave office, but a new report suggests President Donald Trump has soured on Vice President JD Vance. Based on a report by Zeteo, Trump repeatedly makes "snide, annoyed comments" about both Vance and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard for being less openly supportive of the Iran war than others in the administration. Vance in particular is described as "skeptical," and his reluctance to publicly support the war as much as he has other administration initiatives has apparently rubbed Trump the wrong way.

'You can hear the concern': Trump's dumpster-level polling casts a shadow over CPAC

CNN reports right wing figures and influencers are gathering at one of the biggest conservative conferences of the year in Texas -- but what's gathering with them is fear. This year, CNN anchor Boris Sanchez reports President Donald Trump's poll numbers are in a dumpster, along with the Republican party's chances of holding on to both the House and Senate in the midterms. Government debt is also on a steep rise and the war with Iran is grievously unpopular and breaking the Republican Party into pieces.

Trump says his Cabinet officials were mugged in DC

President Donald Trump held his first Cabinet meeting since starting the war in Iran. He began with several of his top officials speaking. After Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth talked about how the people of the United States should be praying for him, Trump began talking about crime in Chicago and the recent shooting death of the daughter of one of his staffers' friends. "It's a young lady who -- whose life would be saved if we had -- if we did what we did. As an example, in Washington D.C, which is now a safe city, all the time people come up to me in the building, people who work here, they say, 'Thank you so much.' I know immediately what they're talking about," said Trump, talking about the crime rate in the nation's capital.

Ex-military officials warns Trump's next plan a 'disaster waiting to happen'

President Donald Trump has refused to rule out the possibility of putting boots on the ground for his ongoing war in Iran, despite consternation from his own party, but according to one former senior military official who spoke with MS NOW, such a move would be a "disaster waiting to happen." Trump recently ordered a deployment of troops to the Middle East from the 82nd Airborne Division, joining thousands of other troops already stationed in the region. While they have not yet been ordered into a ground invasion of Iran, as some fear, Trump has refused to give clear answers about what they have been deployed for, while those close to him stress that he is leaving all options on the table.

Trump still rules MAGA -- but there's a twist: Fox News poll

Countless polls released in 2026 have showed President Donald Trump with weak approval ratings, but there is usually a caveat: He still enjoys enthusiastic support among his hardcore MAGA base. A Fox News poll released on March 25 is no exception, but according to podcast host and former Obama Administration official Tommy Vietor, the poll also shows a difference between MAGA diehards and conservatives who don't identify as MAGA specifically.
