President Donald Trump claimed in a Truth Social message on Sunday night that the Republican party was bigger and more united than ever, calling out a few "lowlifes" who are making it seem more divided than it actually is.
The party has "never been so UNITED AS IT iS RIGHT NOW!" Trump posted.
"Other than Rand Paul, Rand Paul Jr.(Massie!), Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown, and a couple of other ‘lowlifes,’ and other than the fact that many want the Election threatening Filibuster TERMINATED (the Dems will do it in the first minute of their first chance!), and some don’t, there is great spirit and cohesion," he continued.
Of course, there is some division in the GOP because it's virtually impossible to get hundreds of nationwide legislators to be in lockstep at all times.
I would argue strongly that different views and vigorous debate make the party better than having a bunch of yes-men (and women) who just agree with the leader and don't think for themselves.
Most people don't totally agree with any one person's views, so I think they get it when they see Republicans debating on issues. It would be nice if they could be respectful, but that doesn't get media attention so it is becoming more rare.
In my opinion, the amount of differing opinions in the GOP has given it an advantage over Democrats in recent years, even though it is sometimes difficult to deal with (like the House Speaker race the last couple times).
Trump also bragged about the size of the GOP since he first ran for president in 2015.
"Many Millions More Members!" Trump wrote. "We now have the Strongest Border EVER, Biggest Tax Cuts, the Best Economy, Highest Stock Market in USA History, and sooo much more."
He added, "BUT, THE BEST IS YET TO COME! VOTE REPUBLICAN!!!"
Trump is right here; the GOP has grown under his leadership.
That only leads to more diverse opinions, but that's part of the bigger tent and ultimately is good for the party.
Trump doesn't like diversity; he wants everyone to agree with him and I get it, but it's healthy and needs to happen.
Recently though, he has shown the ability to reconcile after having a spat with someone (i.e. Elon Musk and MTG, for a few examples), which is a welcome development as far as I'm concerned.
"I can patch up differences with anyone," he said when asked about Greene.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) decided to resign from Congress, apparently due to threats she and her three adult children have received since conflicting with President Donald Trump on several issues.
GOP political strategist Shermichael Singleton said on "State of the Union" on Sunday that whether or not Greene had statewide or larger political ambitions, he believed her political career is now over.
“I’m thinking there’s some other opportunity, perhaps in the media ecosystem, that she’s looking at,” the CNN political commentator said.” “But I think her future life in politics in over.”
It isn't known whether Greene still has any future political ambitions, but part of her rift with Trump is believed to be over his discouraging her to run for statewide political office, either for governor against Brian Kemp or senator against Jon Ossoff.
It was after this alleged discouragement (she denies it even happened) that she started disagreeing with Trump on some of his policy initiatives, like whether to release the Jeffrey Epstein files.
It may be just coincidence, but it seems like the two may be connected one way or another.
She soon found out what unfortunately happens when you disagree with Trump publicly.
For his part, Trump doesn't seem to be holding any grudges.
He told NBC News he didn't think it would be easy for her to continue in politics, but added, “I’d love to see that.”
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), with whom Greene worked on the Epstein file release, said he thinks Greene could have a shot if she ran for president in 2028 because she seems like more of a populist than Trump or Vice President JD Vance does now that they are in office.
The polls do not agree with Khanna at this point--Vance is way ahead of the pack, with Greene in a distant 12th place.
Greene could make a good commentator because of her strong opinions and passionate delivery of them.
She is also still popular with her constituents, most of whom voted for Trump.
Not everyone can deal with death threats and the sort of nonsense that seems to follow anyone who expresses a divergent political opinion, though. We will just have to see whether Greene can come back from this or not.
Hold onto your hats, folks—a shocking report has surfaced alleging that Florida Republican Rep. Cory Mills was caught in a compromising situation with sex workers during a high-stakes rescue mission in Afghanistan, the Daily Mail reported.
In a nutshell, Mills, a vocal critic of the Biden administration, found himself mired in controversy after an alleged hotel hallway incident in Tbilisi, Georgia, while en route to save stranded Americans in 2021, sparking outrage and calls for ethics probes.
Let’s rewind to 2021, when the U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan—ordered by President Joe Biden—left many Americans stranded in chaos.
Mills, a staunch conservative from Florida, took it upon himself to lead a team to rescue an American mother named Mariam and her three young children, aged between 2 and 15.
His mission was noble on paper, a direct jab at what he saw as government incompetence, but the journey took a detour in Tbilisi, Georgia, where things reportedly went south fast.
According to an insider report shared with NOTUS, Mills was discovered in a hotel hallway with sex workers, a bombshell that left his team reeling over potential security risks.
Understandably, the group was furious—how could a mission of such gravity be jeopardized by personal indiscretions?
They made the tough call to ditch Mills mid-mission, leaving him to continue to Afghanistan solo while they grappled with the fallout of his alleged behavior.
Now, let’s be clear: Mills hasn’t responded to these claims, despite outreach from outlets like The Daily Mail, which leaves us wondering if silence is his strategy or if a defense is brewing.
Back then, while still married, Mills didn’t shy away from slamming the Biden administration, accusing them of trying to steal credit for his rescue efforts.
“This is an attempt to save face by the administration for the Americans they left behind,” Mills told Fox News Digital at the time, clearly frustrated by what he saw as political gamesmanship.
Fast forward to today, and Mills’s personal life is under just as much scrutiny, with a divorce underway and a new relationship with Sarah Raviani, a Washington, D.C., marketing manager who calls him her “significant other.”
But that’s not all—Raviani has had to defend Mills against leaked explicit messages allegedly sent while he was married, claiming to The Daily Mail, “The messages being circulated are doctored and originated from an anonymous pro-Palestinian account.”
Whether true or not, this adds fuel to a fire of scandals, including allegations of domestic abuse (which he denies), a restraining order from an ex-girlfriend, and even stolen valor claims over a Bronze Star award.
With the House Ethics Committee already investigating Mills for campaign finance issues and sexual misconduct claims, and fellow conservative Rep. Nancy Mace pushing to strip him of committee roles, it’s clear the GOP isn’t amused by this distraction from their broader fight against progressive overreach.
Hold onto your hats, folks—Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has just dropped a political bombshell by announcing her resignation from Congress, effective January 5, 2026, the Daily Mail reported.
In a stunning turn of events, Greene’s decision has rocked the Republican establishment, caught President Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson off guard, and sparked a fiery public feud that now seems to hint at a possible mending of fences.
Last week, tensions flared as Greene took to social media platform X, claiming that aggressive rhetoric, fueled by none other than Trump himself, had led to a wave of death threats against her and her children.
On Friday, in a 10-minute video, Greene revealed her plans to step down, citing frustration with Washington’s political machine and a personal fallout with Trump over issues like the Epstein files.
According to a source close to her, no one—not even Trump or Johnson—had a clue about her decision until the video went live, with the insider noting, “Everyone in the world found out at the same time” (NBC).
Greene didn’t hold back in the video, accusing Trump of being “hateful” for pulling his endorsement, while Trump fired back, branding her a “raging lunatic” in retaliation (NBC).
The clash escalated as Greene pointed to Trump’s harsh words as the catalyst for venomous attacks from what she called his “radical internet trolls,” some of whom she alleged were paid to target her.
She also shared that private security firms had warned her about her safety, linking the threats to rhetoric she believes Trump has encouraged, adding a dark layer to their public spat.
Sources familiar with her decision emphasized that her exit wasn’t about fearing a primary loss—Greene was confident she could win re-election—but rather the toll of relentless death threats against her family (NBC).
Trump’s response was a rollercoaster, starting with a blistering Truth Social post where he dubbed her “Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown” and claimed she was fleeing due to “plummeting poll numbers.”
Yet, in a surprising twist during an ABC News call, Trump shifted gears, saying, “I think it’s great news for the country. It’s great,” before adding a note of appreciation for her past service.
Even more eyebrow-raising, Trump later told NBC, “It’s not going to be easy for her [Greene] to return to politics, but I’d love to see it,” hinting at a door left ajar for reconciliation.
Throughout this drama, Greene has maintained her loyalty to Trump’s broader cause, even while slamming the Republican Party’s inaction in 2025.
She pointed to a legislative shutdown and lack of courage as major disappointments, a frustration many conservatives might quietly share.
Her supporters remain unshaken, with one, Debbie Dyer, 60, telling NBC News, “She has a lot of courage and tells it like it is,” a sentiment echoing the steadfast base Greene has built despite Washington’s disdain.

U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., who last week announced his candidacy for governor of the Golden State, is now pushing for California citizens to be able to vote by telephone.
Appearing Saturday on CNN's "The Story Is" with host Elex Michaelson, Swalwell said: "I want us to be able to vote by phone."
"If we can do our taxes … make our health care appointments, you know, make, essentially your – do your banking online, you should be able to vote by phone. Make it safe, make it secure. But it's actually already happening all over the United States.
"I want us to be a blue state that doesn't do just a little bit better than like Georgia or Alabama when it comes to like voting access, I want us to max out democracy."
Eric Daughtery of Florida Voice News reacted to the vote-by-phone idea, saying: "This is the worst voting idea I've EVER heard. That would be an abject disaster."
The congressman, perhaps best-known for his alleged affair with purported Chinese spy Christine Fang, is also suggesting penalizing counties where voters have to wait to vote in person.
"As it relates to democracy, if you wait in line for 30 minutes or more, if you do want to vote in person, I think you should fine every county for every minute that a person has to wait longer," Swalwell said.
"We have to be better, not just a little bit better than the other states."
Swalwell also thinks the operation of the Department of Motor Vehicles can be modernized where drivers don't even have to show up in person.
"I don't think Californians should have to go in person to the DMV anymore," he said. "I think we can do that virtually. I think you can have the DMV employees do it virtually. But that's a lot of real estate. Digitize the DMV."
Although Swalwell denies any wrongdoing in his relationship with Fang, the congressman was removed from his position on the House Intelligence Committee in January 2023 by then-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

PALM BEACH, Florida – While simultaneously bad-mouthing some members of his own political party, President Donald Trump on Sunday asserted Republicans are at their peak of unity.
"The Republican Party has never been so UNITED AS IT iS RIGHT NOW!" Trump exclaimed on Truth Social.
He then named at least three members of the GOP with whom he has serious problems, labeling them "lowlifes."
"Other than Rand Paul, Rand Paul Jr.([Thomas] Massie!), Marjorie 'Traitor' Brown, and a couple of other 'lowlifes,' and other than the fact that many want the Election threatening Filibuster TERMINATED (the Dems will do it in the first minute of their first chance!), and some don't, there is great spirit and cohesion."
"Plus, the Republican Party is MUCH BIGGER than it was when I announced in 2015 or, ever was before – Many Millions More Members!" Trump continued, as he touted the successes of his administration.
"We now have the Strongest Border EVER, Biggest Tax Cuts, the Best Economy, Highest Stock Market in USA History, and sooo much more. BUT, THE BEST IS YET TO COME! VOTE REPUBLICAN!!!"
According to the Pew Research Center: "Today, Americans are about evenly split between the two parties: 46% identify with or lean toward the Republican Party, and 45% identify with or lean toward the Democratic Party.
"This balance of partisanship is similar to 2024, but the current near-even division marks a shift from the affiliation advantage the Democratic Party enjoyed a few years ago."

In the wake of her announcement she's quitting Congress, U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has jumped to third place on the Polymarket prediction market to be the 2028 Republican presidential nominee.
The Georgia Republican currently stands at 6%, just behind second-place Secretary of State Marco Rubio at 8%, and far behind the current front-runner, Vice President JD Vance who has 55%.
She is ranked ahead of other well-known names, including President Donald Trump, with whom she has had a highly publicized falling out, as well as journalist Tucker Carlson, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and Donald Trump Jr.
But is the MAGA firebrand interested in running?
Time Magazine suggested yes, writing on Saturday: "The Georgia lawmaker has privately told allies that she has considered running for president in 2028, according to two people who have spoken with her directly about the prospect and three others familiar with her thinking.
"The possibility comes amid the dramatic rupture in Greene's relationship with President Donald Trump, which contributed to her decision to announce on Friday that she would resign from the House of Representatives in January."
But Time's article prompted a forceful denial on Sunday from Greene, who called it a "complete lie."
"TIME claims 'sources' told them I'm running for President in 2028, which means this is a complete lie and they made it up because they can't even quote the names of the people who they claim said it. That's not journalism, it's called lying," Greene said in a lengthy statement on X.
"I'm not running for President and never said I wanted to and have only laughed about it when anyone would mention it. If you fell for those headlines, you're still being lulled everyday into psychosis by the Political Industrial Complex that always has an agenda when it does something like this."
She continued: "Running for President requires traveling all over the country, begging for donations all day everyday to raise hundreds of millions of dollars, arguing political talking points everyday to the point of exhaustion, destroying your health and having no personal life in order to attempt to get enough votes to become President all to go to work into a system that refuses to fix any of America's problems.
"The fact that I'd have to go through all that but would be totally blocked from truly fixing anything is exactly why I would never do it. And most importantly, I'm not the kind of person who is willing to make the deals that must be made in order to be allowed to have the title. Again, I'm not motivated by power and titles."
On Friday, Greene posted a video of herself telling supporters, "I will be resigning from office with my last day being January 5, 2026."
Last Sunday, as WorldNetDaily reported, after being labeled by Trump as a "traitor," "fake politician" and "ranting Lunatic," Greene said the commander in chief put a target on her back, placing her very life in danger.
"Being called a 'traitor' isn't just hurtful, it puts a target on my back and puts my life in danger," she said.
Greene told CNN's Dana Bash, "The most hurtful thing he said which is absolutely untrue is he called me a traitor and that is so extremely wrong. And those are the types of words used that can radicalize people against me and put my life in danger."
Picture this: a tense Oval Office showdown where President Donald Trump and New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani spar over past insults while trying to play nice for the cameras.
In a brief but charged media event on Friday, the two leaders met to discuss critical city issues like housing and public safety, only to be derailed by questions about Mamdani’s earlier harsh words labeling Trump’s policies as authoritarian, Fox News reported.
The exchange kicked off when Fox News’ Jacqui Heinrich pressed Mamdani on whether he still views Trump as a “fascist,” a term he’s used before to describe the president’s agenda.
Mamdani hesitated, clearly weighing his words, but Trump couldn’t resist cutting in with a smirk and a quip: “That’s OK. You can just say yes,” he said, adding a light jab with, “It’s easier than explaining it. I don’t mind.”
That little zinger landed like a polite grenade, exposing the awkward dance between Mamdani’s progressive ideals and the pragmatic need to work with a White House he’s openly criticized.
Instead of doubling down, Mamdani sidestepped, focusing on collaboration “where we agree” to serve the city’s 8.5 million residents, a diplomatic pivot that felt more like a dodge than a stand.
The 10-minute meeting wasn’t just about verbal sparring; it zeroed in on real concerns like affordability, with Mamdani highlighting a “cost-of-living crisis that threatens to push families out of the city.”
Trump, ever the dealmaker, pointed to dropping energy prices and urged utilities like Con Edison to cut rates, showing a practical side that contrasts with the usual partisan gridlock.
Both men signaled a willingness to cooperate, with Trump emphasizing a shared goal to make New York safer by targeting “very bad people” and restoring the city’s vibrancy—a nod to a nostalgia many conservatives quietly cheer.
On public safety, Mamdani outlined a balanced approach, committing to maintain around 35,000 NYPD officers while redirecting non-urgent calls to mental health responders, a policy that might raise eyebrows among law-and-order advocates.
Trump kept it broad, aligning with Mamdani on wanting the city to “thrive again,” though one wonders if their definitions of “thrive” match up beyond the soundbites.
Elsewhere in the spray, Heinrich shifted gears to foreign policy, grilling Trump on his Ukraine peace plan and what happens if President Zelenskyy balks at it, to which Trump bluntly replied that Ukraine would “have to like it or keep fighting.”
Trump’s stance on U.S. support—hinging on “securing an agreement”—and his claim that casualty numbers are “far higher” than reported, underscores a hardline approach that resonates with those tired of endless overseas entanglements.
Back on the domestic front, this Oval Office moment raises bigger questions about how Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist, will navigate governing a diverse metropolis while cozying up to an administration many of his supporters likely view with suspicion.
With Trump joking about the packed press room drawing “more reporters than usual” and both leaders open to future talks, it’s clear this uneasy alliance is just getting started—let’s hope it delivers for New Yorkers beyond the witty one-liners.
Hold onto your hats, folks -- Prakazrel "Pras" Michel, a founding member of the Fugees, just got slapped with a 14-year federal prison sentence for funneling foreign cash into a presidential campaign, Fox News reported.
Michel, convicted in April 2023 on multiple federal counts, was found guilty by a Washington, D.C., jury of illegally channeling millions from overseas into Barack Obama’s 2012 reelection effort, a scheme prosecutors say involved over $100 million and secret influence peddling.
Let’s rewind to the beginning: Michel, born in Brooklyn to Haitian parents, skyrocketed to fame with the Fugees alongside Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean, selling millions of albums and snagging two Grammys.
But fame didn’t keep him grounded—prosecutors allege Michel took over $120 million from Malaysian billionaire Low Taek Jho, using straw donors to gain access to Obama campaign events.
They didn’t stop there; Michel is accused of meddling in a Justice Department probe into Low, tampering with witnesses, and even committing perjury to keep the scheme under wraps.
Low, a fugitive reportedly hiding in China and linked to financing “The Wolf of Wall Street,” denies wrongdoing, while Michel’s trial drew star power with testimony from Leonardo DiCaprio and former Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
DiCaprio, who met Michel backstage at a Fugees concert in the 1990s, testified about Low, saying, “I understood him to be a huge businessman with many different connections in Abu Dhabi and Malaysia.”
Interesting, isn’t it, how Hollywood glitz intersects with political grime—yet DiCaprio’s careful vetting of Low’s funding raises questions about how deep the due diligence really went.
Prosecutors weren’t buying any excuses, declaring Michel “betrayed his country for money” and “lied unapologetically and unrelentingly to carry out his schemes,” painting a picture of greed over patriotism.
On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly handed down a 168-month sentence, despite Michel declining to speak in court before the gavel fell.
Michel’s defense attorney, Peter Zeidenberg, called the verdict “unsupported by the evidence” and the sentence “completely disproportional to the facts alleged,” especially when compared to lighter punishments for others in similar scandals.
Zeidenberg pointed out disparities, arguing there’s “no justification for Mr. Michel being singled out like this except for the penalty for opting for trial,” and vowed to appeal both the conviction and sentence.
From a conservative lens, this case reeks of selective harshness—why does Michel get 14 years while others, like Elliott Broidy who was pardoned, walk away unscathed?
Prosecutors pushed for a life sentence, claiming it matched the breadth of Michel’s crimes, but isn’t there a whiff of overreach when a non-violent musician faces such a draconian penalty?
While justice must be served for betraying national trust, the sentencing guidelines—criticized by Michel’s team as easily manipulated—seem to disproportionately punish those who dare to fight their case in court, a principle conservatives should champion against bureaucratic overreach.

After Democratic lawmakers, who also are military veterans, released a video this week warning service personnel about following orders of the commander in chief that may be "illegal," President Trump reacted angrily, saying the action was "seditious."
Now a group of Republican veterans have released their own video, reminding Americans in the military of the oath they took to the Constitution and criticizing the "insinuation" of the Democrats that Trump had given "illegal" orders.
The video was put together by the Republican Conference of the U.S. House of Represenatives.
