Abdul El-Sayed MOCKS Vance with new nickname

In a Time magazine interview published Thursday, Trump said he regrets appointing Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett because they haven't voted his way often enough — and complained that he "gave them the position of a lifetime" and expected "loyalty."

When asked if he regrets the choices, he said, “Yeah. Yeah. What can I do? I put them in.”

Roberts, Gorsuch, and Barrett joined the three liberals in the 6-3 ruling that struck down his tariffs. Barrett, Kavanaugh, and Roberts did the same to his birthright citizenship order.

“I gave them the chance of a lifetime, and it’s unfortunate what they did.”

Then he actually complimented the other side of the bench.

“The Democrats stick like glue — those three, they virtually never vary.” That would be Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, and Ketanji Brown Jackson, whom Trump now admires for their loyalty.

Don’t expect a fresh pick to fix it. Samuel Alito, 76, and Clarence Thomas, 77, aren’t planning to retire.

Separately, when asked about declaring a state of emergency before the midterms, Trump said, "I could use it. A lot of people think I should use it sometimes," declining to rule out invoking the Insurrection Act.

These aren't gaffes — they're a sitting president telling the judiciary he expects fealty and signaling he may deploy military force to influence an election. The word for that is not "controversial." It's authoritarian.

JD Vance has been going after Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed. “There’s something about Abdul El-Sayed that is very, very evil. And on the rise in the United States.”

El-Sayed went on The Beat with Ari Melber and had a nickname ready: “Low-T JD.”

“It’s always funny, man. He just brings the energy down every time you hear him talk.”

Pressed on it, he didn’t back off. “I’m just saying that they like to lead on strength, but I don’t see much strength there.”

“The problem is Donald Trump, and you don’t see much standing up to Donald Trump.”

Vance, meanwhile, has taken to arguing that a Black woman doesn’t belong in America.

A new Fox News poll has El-Sayed up 50% to 49% over Republican Mike Rogers.

Gov. Kathy Hochul signed an executive order Thursday naming Attorney General Letitia James special prosecutor in the Cornell gang rape case.

A former student says seven members of the Chi Phi fraternity drugged and sexually assaulted her in 2024. Nobody was charged. Some of the accused were assigned essays.

Tompkins County DA Matthew Van Houten announced he’d reopen the case last week, after she filed a civil lawsuit. Five days later, the governor took it from him.

“Newly released information continues to raise serious questions about the investigation conducted by the Cornell Police Department,” Hochul said. The DA’s handling “has undercut my faith, and the public’s faith, in the District Attorney’s ability to effectively investigate and prosecute the case.”

“Every New Yorker deserves to know that when they report a crime, it will be investigated fully and fairly,” James said.

Last fall, Trump’s Justice Department indicted James on mortgage fraud charges that a judge later threw out. She’s still the one doing the prosecuting.

Nearly 10 months after an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Good in Minneapolis, her partner Becca Good and brother Brent Ganger filed two federal lawsuits Thursday.

Video showed Good waving at agents and telling them to “go around” her car. Agent Jonathan Ross shot her three times in the head as she tried to drive away.

The first suit accuses the United States of wrongful death: battery, assault, false imprisonment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligence.

The second names Ross, plus Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Corey Lewandowski, Tom Homan, Todd Lyons, and Gregory Bovino, for “conspiracy to interfere with civil rights.”

The federal investigation hasn’t produced anything. DOJ officials declined to open a civil rights inquiry.

Last month in Texas, federal prosecutors charged a Venezuelan delivery driver with assaulting an officer after an ICE agent shot him while he sat in his car.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani sat down with former MAGA manosphere podcaster Theo Von, on the same podcast Trump used to court young men in 2024.

Von asked what socialism actually means. Mamdani’s answer: “Socialism to me, it means that you will have whatever you need to live a dignified life, and that it is the government’s job to deliver on that.”

He reminded Von that when Social Security was first proposed, opponents said it would “Sovietize the republic.” Now it’s one of the most popular programs in American.

They went through the $131.5 million DoorDash settlement for underpaid workers, the Sunnyside Yard plan for 12,000 homes, and why nurses deserve better pay.

Then came Netanyahu, who was recently in New York for the UN General Assembly.

“If I had my say, the US government would have joined the ICC, honored every single warrant that they’ve issued,” Mamdani said.

Von’s response: “F*ck yeah.”

Von hosted Trump in 2024. Since then he's split with the administration over ICE using his clip in a deportation video, the Epstein files, and Gaza.

CNN was supposed to fly on Air Force One Thursday to cover Trump in Denton, Texas, and Durant, Oklahoma. The White House pulled them off the trip.

Last week, US District Judge Timothy Kelly ordered the White House to stop blocking CNN, Politico, and MS NOW. CNN was also kept away from Trump’s Tennessee visit last weekend, and the press was shut out of Xi Jinping’s White House arrival and state dinner.

Theodore Boutrous, the outlets’ attorney, said the White House “is persisting in unpredictably and inconsistently implementing the President’s unconstitutional ‘ban on the free press.’”

So CNN missed Trump at the Peterbilt truck plant in Denton, where he said of his own Texas Senate nominee, Ken Paxton, that “he could be a pain in the ass sometimes, I’ll be honest.”

On Talarico, Trump accused him of being a “vaygan” and throwing up meat.

Some press is still welcome. Rupert Murdoch and the Wall Street Journal’s top editors came over for dinner this week. Trump is suing their paper for $10 billion.
