Liberal Outlet Politico Urges Democrats to Create a ‘Shadow Cabinet’ to Counter Trump – Suggestions Include John Fetterman’s Wife

The progressive outlet Politico is urging Democrats to create a ‘shadow cabinet’ to fight Trump. Perhaps they haven’t heard, but the chair of the DNC announced that they’re already doing that. He said so back in April.

Remember when Democrats and the media claimed to care about saving our precious norms? What do they call this?

The only difference between Politico’s plan and the one the DNC chair already announced is who will be featured in this unconstitutional body.

From Politico:

As Democrats cast about for a strategy to thwart President Donald Trump’s agenda, rebrand their party and take back power, Sen. Elissa Slotkin recently offered one intriguing idea: Build a shadow Cabinet.

The shadow Cabinet, as envisioned by the Michigan Democrat in an interview with POLITICO, could be composed of the ranking members of congressional committees who could then take the lead in challenging the Trump administration. It’s a common feature of opposition politics abroad and could be a way for Democrats to flood the media zone and deliver a coordinated response to Trump’s most wild maneuvers. But … ranking members?

Ranking members have their uses. They’re good at reclaiming their time and making motions to recommit. But they are not the fresh faces who can give the Democratic Party a sleek new look.

Nor are the thirsty crop of presidential wannabes right for a shadow Cabinet. Everything they say would be parsed for self-serving motivation, distracting from the party’s broader task at hand.

Here are some of the names they float:

Samantha Power – SHADOW SECRETARY OF STATE

Letitia James – SHADOW ATTORNEY GENERAL

Jon Stewart – SHADOW SECRETARY OF VETERANS AFFAIRS

Gisele Fetterman – SHADOW SECRETARY OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Bill Nye – SHADOW ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY ADMINISTRATOR

Didn’t we just go through this?

Only SCOTUS Can Rein In The Judicial Coup

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on May 15 on what has become a debilitating, critical crisis: the issuance of nationwide injunctions en masse by federal district court judges.

Notably, the overwhelming majority of those judges are Democrat appointees who seek to prevent President Donald Trump from doing what he was elected to do: govern. According to a lawsuit tracker by the Associated Press, more than 200 lawsuits have been filed against Trump’s executive orders.

In three consolidated cases from Washington, Maryland, and Massachusetts, federal district court judges issued nationwide injunctions (sometimes called universal injunctions or, to quote Justice Neil Gorsuch, “cosmic injunctions”) against the implementation of a Trump executive order ending universal birthright citizenship. The plaintiffs in those cases claim the order violates the 14th Amendment.

Those injunctions reflect a broader pattern. In less than four months, roughly 40 nationwide injunctions have been entered against the Trump administration — almost double the number entered during all four years of the Biden administration. As Solicitor General John Sauer pointed out, 35 have come “from the same five judicial districts.”

One could reasonably argue that the judges entering these orders are essentially attempting to undo the results of the last election by keeping in place Biden administration policies — policies that more than 77 million voters roundly rejected last November. These judges apparently believe they have more authority than the president to make decisions on everything from domestic and foreign policy to matters affecting national security and the military.

The Supreme Court should vigorously enforce its prior precedents (including its 1984 decision in U.S. v. Mendoza), which strictly limit the ability of a single unelected district court judge (of whom there are nearly 700) to keep the administration from achieving its policy objectives by ruling not just for those who filed a lawsuit but also for everyone who didn’t.

The court must also end the blatant judge-shopping and what amounts to a collective wholesale interference in the president’s constitutional authority as head of the executive branch.

The May 15 session was itself unusual — hopefully a sign that Chief Justice John Roberts finally recognizes the judicial crisis these lower court judges are causing. Typically, oral arguments end in April, and emergency requests for stays are usually decided on the pleadings without oral argument.

We have to wonder whether the chief justice was prompted to act in part by Justice Samuel Alito’s rather stinging March 5 dissent in Department of State v. AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition (a dissent joined by Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh).

‘60 Minutes’ anchor Scott Pelley ripped for ‘angry, unhinged’ commencement speech criticizing Trump

Outraged critics blasted longtime “60 Minutes” anchor Scott Pelley as “angry” and “unhinged” after he delivered a fear-laced tirade against President Trump during a commencement speech in North Carolina.

The CBS newscaster warned Wake Forest University’s graduating class on May 19 that “insidious fear” has infiltrated schools, businesses, and homes across the nation — leaving America in a state of “peril.”

“Your country needs you — the country that has given you so much is calling you, the class of 2025, your country needs you and it needs you today,” Pelley said during his grandiose sermon-like speech.

“This morning our sacred rule of law is under attack. Journalism is under attack, universities are under attack, freedom of speech is under attack and insidious fear is reaching throughout schools, our businesses, our homes and into our private thoughts,” he continued.

“The fear to speak in America. If our government is, in Lincoln’s phrase ‘of the people, by the people, for the people,’ then why are we afraid to speak? Ignorance works for power. Power can change the definition of the words we used to describe reality. This is an old playbook, my friends. There is nothing new in this.”

Biden Aide Admits Liberal Admin Did ‘Undemocratic Things’ to Try and Stop Trump

In a candid admission, a longtime aide to former President Joe Biden reportedly revealed that White House staff felt justified in taking “undemocratic” actions during his administration, believing that President Donald Trump posed an existential threat to American democracy.

This revelation emerged during an appearance by Axios reporter Alex Thompson on Fox News Sunday, where he discussed insights from his reporting on the former Biden administration.

Thompson described a prevailing mindset among unelected aides, who saw themselves as the true decision-makers, often shielding Biden from scrutiny and managing the presidency behind the scenes.

“If you believe — and I think a lot of these people do sincerely believe — that Donald Trump was and is an existential threat to democracy, you can rationalize anything, including sometimes doing undemocratic things,” Thompson stated.

The aide’s remarks suggest a troubling rationale for actions taken in the name of protecting democracy.

In one notable comment, the aide remarked that Biden “just had to win, and then he could disappear for four years,” implying that the president could step back while his staff handled the day-to-day operations.

“He’d only have to show proof of life every once in a while,” the aide added, emphasizing the tight control exercised by an inner circle of staff members over Biden’s schedule and public interactions.

This admission raises important questions about the nature of governance in a democracy and the lengths to which individuals might go when they perceive a significant threat.

Critics have long pointed to the tensions between security and democratic principles, and this incident illustrates the challenges faced by those in power when navigating such dilemmas.

“Oval Office Ambush” – Hilarious Compilation Shows Mainstream Media Hacks Parroting EXACT SAME Talking Points on Trump’s Explosive Meeting with South African President Last Week

A memo with talking points apparently went out to the leftwing media following Wednesday’s fiery Oval Office meeting between President Trump and the South African President.

During big news events, a phenomenon occurs where the leftwing media not only pushes the same narrative across every network, but in many cases, they read the same script. They would have us believe it’s a coincidence, but they’re clearly reading talking points, likely provided by the Democratic Party.

One example of this was after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky went before the US Congress and demanded billions of dollars and weapons to continue his war with Russia. As The Gateway Pundit reported, Liberal hack reporters in unison began comparing Zelensky to Winston Churchill on every cable news channel.

This time, they were given the word “ambush.”

Here are some of the lines cable TV was pushing in their orchestrated attack after Trump’s epic Oval Office exchange with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa:

  • “Another dramatic scene in the Oval Office today. The tense confrontation, President Trump ambushing the President of South Africa.”
  • Up next, another Oval Office meltdown. President Trump ambushing the President of South Africa.”
  • “President Trump is being accused of conducting something of a diplomatic ambush of South Africa’s President in the Oval Office.”
  • “President Trump orchestrated another Oval Office ambush today.”
  • “Today, Donald Trump meeting with the President of South Africa and attempting to ambush and humiliate that leader.”
  • “Zelensky territory, where, essentially, he was a bit ambushed inside the Oval Office.”
  • “It felt like an ambush in there, kind of like the President Zelensky meeting in the Oval Office.”
  • “This was an ambush. It was orchestrated.”
  • “Cyril Ramaphosa brought his best diplomatic self to this meeting, but nothing could have prepared him for this multimedia ambush.”
  • “It started as, to some degree, an ambush.”

American who threatened to assassinate Trump arrested at JFK Airport over ‘plan to bomb US embassy in Israel’

An American man was arrested at John F. Kennedy International Airport for plotting to bomb the US embassy in Israel.

Joseph Neumayer, a 28-year-old dual United States and German citizen, was charged with attempting to destroy, by means of fire or explosive, the Branch Office of the United States Embassy located in Tel Aviv, according to the Justice Department.

He arrived in Israel in April, then was detain after spitting on a security guard outside the embassy on May 19.

The Justice Department said Neumeyer broke free from the guard, but left behind his dark-colored backpack.

Investigators found three Molotov cocktails inside his bag then tracked him down to his hotel and arrested him.

‘A tourist was arrested in Tel Aviv after allegedly spitting at a guard at the US Embassy branch office and is suspected of leaving behind a bag with flammable materials while attempting to flee,’ Israel police said.

‘Police and municipal personnel quickly located and arrested the suspect. Police bomb squad arrived to clear the bag and found potential Molotov cocktail components.’

According to court documents, Neumeyer posted on social media earlier that day, ‘Join me as I burn down the embassy in Tel Aviv. Death to America, death to Americans, and f**k the west.’ 

Other social media post alleged showed he had also threatened to assassinate Donald Trump.

Israeli officials deported Neumeyer back to the United States, and he was arrested at the New York airport on Sunday. 

‘This defendant is charged with planning a devastating attack targeting our embassy in Israel, threatening death to Americans, and President Trump’s life,’ said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. 

‘The Department will not tolerate such violence and will prosecute this defendant to the fullest extent of the law.’ 

If convicted, Neumeyer faces a minimum of five years in prison and a maximum of 20 years in prison. 

‘As alleged, Neumeyer, armed with potentially lethal devices, sought to cause chaos and destruction at the U.S.Embassy in Tel Aviv,’ said U.S. Attorney Joseph Nocella for the Eastern District of New York. 

‘His arrest and prosecution clearly show that my Office and the Department of Justice will not tolerate violence in our homeland or violence targeting U.S. interests abroad.’

‘The defendant is charged with attempting to firebomb the U.S. Embassy and making threats to President Trump,’ said FBI Director Kash Patel.

Fury as top military schools are caught in secret underground plots to usurp Trump’s orders

Top military schools have faced a swift backlash after using underground means to discuss books and topics banned by the Trump administration.

Cadets and staff at the US Naval Academy have been creating non-governmental emails to chat about the banned ideas, including the likes of critical race theory.

The president has cracked down on what made up the curriculum at the school, with faculty saying they run their research through an AI tool screen their findings.

Words that are flagged include ‘barrier’, ‘Black’, ‘allyship’, ‘cultural differences’ and ‘The Gulf of Mexico‘. 

Professors have been told to teach that ‘America and its founding documents remains the most powerful force for good in human history’ after a memo Pete Hegseth. 

One unnamed professor told the Washington Post: ‘We at the Naval Academy are here to prepare young officers to command.

‘They need to know what we have learned from our study of politics and history and literature and languages.

‘We are failing them and we are failing in our jobs if we suppress some things we know are true and we parrot other things we know are false.’ 

They also said that students are feeling conflicted about the possibility of being deployed under the current White House. 

One professor said they had advised cadets to serve until they receive an order that they feel might be illegal. 

He told them if that point comes to ‘reject it rather than compromise yourself’. 

Graham Parsons, a former professor of philosophy at West Point Military Academy, left his position earlier this month in protest over the changes to the curriculum. 

He said that the entire US armed forces have been left up in arms over Trump’s reversal of DEI initiatives and social justice programs. 

Parsons told the outlet: ‘It’s a feeling of real whiplash. We used to raise the possibility in the military and beyond, there are still real structural problems with racism and sexism. That would not fly now.’ 

He stood down from his post after writing a scathing opinion piece for The New York Times. 

In it, he said: ‘I cannot tolerate these changes, which prevent me from doing my job responsibly. I am ashamed to be associated with the academy in its current form.’

Now It All Makes Sense: Tapper Lets It Slip That Coming Clean on Biden Is Really About Getting Trump

If chutzpah could take human form, it would strongly resemble CNN’s Jake Tapper.

The recent spectacle of Tapper making the rounds on the interview circuit to promote his latest book, “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” co-authored with Alex Thompson, has such a wolf-in-the-henhouse feel to it that both the interview tour and the five-years-too-late investigation into former President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline simply must involve sinister, ulterior motives.

Sure enough, in an interview posted to the social media platform X Friday, Tapper revealed those motives.

“This applies to Donald Trump, too,” Tapper said of the lack of transparency surrounding the former president’s health.

Ah, there it is.

Tapper, who actively participated in the cover-up of Biden’s decline, now has a public service to perform.

Apparently, this wasn’t about a historic political scandal in which Biden’s surrogates and allies in the establishment media gaslit the American public for four years while propping up a corrupt, pudding-brained old fool whose existence provided cover for their war against American citizens — a scandal perpetrated by specific people who committed specific crimes. No! This story involves lessons for the future!

“Donald Trump has released, like, nothing about his health,” Tapper added. “And while there aren’t the questions of acuity, there are certainly questions about his health.”

Questions about President Donald Trump’s health? What questions, exactly? Could anyone outside the establishment media fail to recognize Trump’s superhuman work ethic? The president accomplishes more in a week than Tapper does in a year, and yet the establishment shill has the audacity to question Trump’s health?

Of course, to maintain his disinterested facade, Tapper proceeded to frame the question as a constitutional one.

“We can’t have this as a country,” the establishment journalist said. “We have such a powerful executive branch, and at this stage, such an un-co-equal legislative branch, and such weak political parties, [that] we’re really racing towards a very dangerous situation.”

Hillary Clinton Calls on Liberals to Ruin Memorial Day Gatherings by Bashing Trump to “Friends, Neighbors, Cookout Attendees”

“Boy, this burger is great, Roy! What’s your secret?”

“Tom, don’t you know Hillary Clinton says Trump’s new budget is going to increase food insecurity?”

“*&%$ it Roy! I just wanted to enjoy Memorial Day with friends. Shove your burger! C’mon Betty, we’re leaving!”

Rather than honoring the military men and women who gave their lives defending their fellow Americans’ right to live in freedom, two-time failed Democratic Party presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is calling on her supporters to bash President Donald Trump and his One Big Beautiful Bill that passed the House this week when they get together with friends and neighbors at Memorial Day gatherings this weekend:

I’m giving you a mission for this Memorial Day holiday weekend.

I want you to talk to two people—friends, neighbors, cookout attendees—about why Trump’s proposed budget would be a disaster for American kids.

We owe the next generation every chance, and this isn’t it.

How the Trump budget bill would impact kids. (It would be a disaster.)

* Drastically cut health care. 15 million Americans, including millions of children, could lose access through Medicaid cuts and ACA marketplace changes.
* Increase food insecurity. Nearly 11 million people—including 4 million kids—could lose SNAP food assistance.
* Make families poorer. The bill would kick 4.5 million American kids off the child tax credit.
* Leave AI dangers unchecked. The bill would freeze state-level AI regulation for 10 years, stripping states of the ability to protect kids from deep fakes, exploitation, and more.

Tulsi Torches Comey For Blaming His Wife For Posting Trump Assassination Threat to Instagram

ODNI Tulsi Gabbard went off on former FBI Director James Comey for blaming his wife for posting the Trump assassination threat to Instagram.

Earlier this week, former FBI Director James Comey ran to MSNBC in his first public appearance after he called for Trump to be killed in a cryptic Instagram post.

James Comey was interviewed by the US Secret Service on Friday afternoon at the Washington Field Office.

Comey is under investigation for calling for Trump to be killed in a cryptic Instagram post.

“Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” Comey said in his caption.

“86 47” = Kill Trump

On Monday, James Comey (as he conveniently plugged his new book) peddled a BS story explaining how he just stumbled upon a curious formation of shells as he was walking down the beach with his wife.

“We were walking on the beach, we went to the beach to prepare for this week… and we were walking back towards the road and we saw in the sand someone had arranged shells with numbers. And Patrice, my wife, said, ‘why would someone put an address in the sand?’ and I said, ‘I don’t know’ and we stood over and I said, ‘I think it’s some kind of political message,’” Comey said.

Comey then threw his wife under the bus.

“She said you know, when I was a server – she did a lot of work in restaurants – meant to remove an item from the menu when you ran out of ingredients. And I said, ‘well to me, as a kid it always meant to leave a place, to ditch a place.’ And she said well that very clever you should take a picture of that and I did and posted it on my Instagram and though nothing more of it until I heard through her that people were saying that it was a call for some sort of assassination which is crazy!” Comey said.

Tulsi went off on Comey for making up a ridiculous story and blaming his wife.

“When you look at James Comey, and he talks about his own experience and knowledge…let’s go back and look at how he played a direct role in the weaponization of government against the American people and Donald Trump,” Tulsi said on Fox News.
