Mediaite: Fox Reports Tulsi Gabbard Sent a ‘Criminal Referral’ For Obama Officials to the DOJ

Fox News digital reported on Monday that it received confirmation from the Department of Justice “that it has received Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s criminal referral” to probe Obama-era officials for “manufactured and politicized intelligence” regarding the Trump-Russia probe.

Last week, Gabbard declassified documents, which were quickly reported on by Fox, which she claims implicate former President Barack Obama in the widespread allegations that Trump’s 2016 campaign colluded with Russia to interfere in the election.

Trump famously publicly called on Russia to hack Hillary Clinton’s emails in a speech during the campaign, which Russia did later do and leaked online.

Earlier on Monday, as Trump continues to grapple with fallout from his administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, the president posted an AI-generated clip of the FBI arresting Obama in the Oval Office. In the clip, Obama is brought to his knees and handcuffed in front of a seat and smiling Trump.

Trump has long raged against what he calls the “Russia hoax” despite a Republican-led Senate investigation into claims of Russian collusion finding Russia did attempt to interfere with the election and had contact with the Trump campaign.

The Senate panel investigating the election published a 1,000-page report in 2020, which found “Russia launched an aggressive effort to interfere in the election on Trump’s behalf,” reported the AP at the time.

The report added that “the Trump campaign chairman had regular contact with a Russian intelligence officer and says other Trump associates were eager to exploit the Kremlin’s aid, particularly by maximizing the impact of the disclosure of Democratic emails hacked by Russian intelligence officers.”

Another delirious Trumpster lost in Lalaland! Wherever does he find all these sycophantic whack jobs?

Mediaite: House Democrat Hits Back at ICE After Being Accused of Doxxing Federal Agent and Joining a ‘Violent Mob’

Tom “Pugsley” Homan, one of America’s ugliest & most patheticly dim-witted apparatchiks ever!

Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-CA) hit back at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement over the weekend after being accused of doxxing a federal agent and joining a violent mob.

ICE wrote on X Sunday, “Rep. Salud Carbajal was part of a violent mob of protestors attempting to obstruct federal law enforcement as they executed a criminal search warrant at a marijuana facility. He cites “peaceful” protestors, when in fact these rioters were launching rocks at officers, injuring at least one ICE employee who was left bloody.” The federal agency added:

According to agents on the ground, the congressman doxed that same ICE employee by sharing his business card with members of the violent mob.

THIS is precisely the rhetoric that has led to orchestrated attempts to murder officers and a 700% increase in officer assaults.

May the congressman’s constituency always remember he chooses violence over the rule of law.

Carbajal, who represents Santa Barbara County, hit back at ICE on Sunday evening, writing, “This is a blatant attempt to distort what occurred in Carpinteria. DHS and ICE conducted their raid using a disturbing and disproportionate level of force, both on the farm workers they were targeting and the peaceful protesters who gathered to defend their neighbors.” He added:

I witnessed agents, in full military gear, fire smoke canisters and other projectiles into a crowd of peaceful civilians. Just before I arrived at the scene, witnesses told me the agents threw a stun grenade into the crowd. Several civilians were injured, including a child.

This aggressive behavior in a normally quiet part of the Central Coast sparked alarm across our community, prompting a flood of calls and messages to my office from concerned citizens. I went to the scene to seek answers and represent my constituents.

ICE’s claims of “doxxing” and “violent mobs” are familiar deflection tactics designed to distort public perception and to evade accountability for their aggressive actions in our community.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche replied to ICE’s statement, saying, “We take all allegations of inciting violence or doxing of federal employees very seriously—no one is above the law, and members of Congress are no exception. We are reviewing reports from the protest. If substantiated, we will pursue every appropriate legal avenue to protect our law enforcement officers and uphold the rule of law.”

Meanwhile, many on X roasted ICE for suggesting that sharing a business card is doxxing. “That is quite the thin reed to go after the congressman. Sharing someone’s business card is not “doxxing” them, and there’s no evidence that the person who threw the rock was targeting that person or even interacted with the member of Congress,” replied Trump critic and immigration activist Aaron Reichlin-Melnick.

For God’s sakes, sharing a business card is NOT doxxing. If you don’t want your business card passed around, don’t hand it out. It really is that simple, even if some dimwits like Tom “Pugsley” Homan are just too retarded to get. Pugsley must have been scraping the bottom of the barrel for something to whine about.

Mediaite: ‘Disgusting’: Republican Senator Rips Federal Agents Who ‘Wrestled’ U.S. Senator to the Floor, Urges Civility From Politicians

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) gave an impassioned speech on the Senate floor on Wednesday, denouncing federal agents detaining and wrestling Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) to the floor as “disgusting” – while also urging leaders to act with restraint and civility instead of trying to “trend on social media by getting in somebody’s face.”

Problem is, our Grifter-in-Chief and his band of sycophants thrive on insulting and diminishing others. Unless Trump is impeached or kicks the bucket, these behaviors will be par for the course until 2029.

Mediaite: ‘Callous and Horrifying’: Trump Slammed For Urgent Call to Evacuate City of 10 Million People With No Explanation

President Donald Trump sparked a wave of anger on Monday evening when he posted a cryptic message on social media urging the residents of Tehran to evacuate immediately.

“Iran should have signed the “deal” I told them to sign. What a shame, and waste of human life. Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again! Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!” Trump posted to his Truth Social account as news broke that he was leaving the G7 summit in Canada early.

The White House’s official account on X also shared the message, which led to a bevy of speculation as to its meaning – with many pundits and observers questioning if it was a threat of U.S. military action against Iran or simply typical Trump bluster.

This is grossly irresponsible!

What does our Asshole-in-Chief plan to do to a city of 10 million people?

Mediaite: Trump Says His Border Czar Should Arrest California Governor Gavin Newsom

President Donald Trump weighed in Monday on the war of words between his Border Czar Tom Homan and California Governor Gavin Newsom (D).

Newsom addressed Homan’s vows to arrest anyone interfering with ICE operations on Saturday, including, he said, California Democrats. Newsom and Trump officials exchanged barbs all weekend after Trump federalized and deployed the California National Guard in Los Angeles amid violent anti-ICE protests.

In an interview with MSNBC, Newsom said, “The hell with this guy. Come after me. Arrest me. Let’s just get it over with, tough guy. You know, I don’t give a damn, but I care about my community. I care about this community. The hell are they doing? These guys need to grow up. They need to stop, and we need to push back. And I’m sorry to be so clear, but that kind of bloviating is exhausting. So, Tom, arrest me. Let’s go.”

Mediaite: Elon Musk’s DOGE Deletes Dozens of Claims of Cost-Cutting After Investigation Reveals They Are False

Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency deleted over 30 different government contracts from its website’s “Wall of Receipts” this week after a New York Times investigation found them to still be active.

What do you expect from F’Elon Musk?

Mediaite: Marco Rubio And JD Vance Open War of Words With Germany, Accusing Ally of ‘Tyranny in Disguise’

Our wannabe dictators are upset that Germany is clamping down on their neo-Nazis. Keep up the good work, Germany:

The Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz (BfV), which would be Germany’s equivalent of the FBI, released a statement summing up their investigation that led to the new classification for the AfD.

“Following its statutory mandate, the BfV was required to assess the party’s actions against the central fundamental principles of the constitution: human dignity, the principle of democracy, and the rule of law. In addition to the federal party’s platform and statements, the review particularly examined the statements and other behavior of its representatives, as well as their connections to right-wing extremist actors and groups,” read the statement.

The AfD won some 20% of the vote in Germany’s last parliamentary election, but remains isolated politically as none of the other parties will work with its members.

The German Foreign Office hit back at Rubio’s statement, saying, “This is democracy. This decision is the result of a thorough & independent investigation to protect our Constitution & the rule of law. It is independent courts that will have the final say. We have learnt from our history that rightwing extremism needs to be stopped.”

Mediaite: House Republican Comes Out Swinging Against ‘Amateur Person’ Pete Hegseth and Calls for His Ouster

Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) became the first House Republican to suggest that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is no longer fit to keep his job, in scathing comments made to Politico’s Rachel Bade on Monday.

“I had concerns from the get-go because Pete Hegseth didn’t have a lot of experience,” Bacon told Bade, following the bombshell revelations over the weekend that Hegseth had shared national security details in a second Signal group chat – this time one that included his wife.

Bacon, a retired Air Force general, added, “ … I find it unacceptable, and I wouldn’t tolerate it if I was in charge,” …,

Mediaite: Wife of Man Imprisoned in El Salvador By ‘Error’ Speaks Out – As Noem [Bimbo #2] Says They Should Be Jailed ‘For Rest of Their Lives’

The wife of the man the Trump administration deported and has indefinitely imprisoned in El Salvador’s notorious gang prison spoke out this week in various interviews.

MSNBC anchor Ana Cabrera noted on Wednesday, “Also still waiting for the Supreme Court to rule on the case involving Kilmar Abrego Garcia, that Maryland father who was wrongfully deported as the administration admits was almost a month ago. Now he was sent to that prison in El Salvador. His future remains in limbo. I spoke with his wife earlier today, take a listen.”

“I want them to bring him back. I want to know when they will bring him back,” Jennifer Vasquez told Cabrera.

“Because my kids asked. When is he coming? I don’t have an answer,” she added.

Despite the Supreme Court’s 9-0 ruling that Kilmar Abrego Garcia must be returned to the U.S., Bimbo #2 Kristi Noem is too dimwitted to get the message:

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said on Wednesday, “We’re confident that people that are [imprisoned in El Salvador] should be there, and they should stay there for the rest of their lives.” Notably, the Trump administration previously said that Garcia was deported as a result of an “administrative error” as he had been granted “protected status” in the U.S. by a judge, meaning he could not be deported back to El Salvador for fear for his safety. The administration, however, continues to maintain Garcia was a gang member.
