Trump just left Joint Base Andrews on Air Force One, heading to Dalton, GA. He's stumping for Rep. Mike Collins, who's challenging Democratic Sen. John Ossoff's seat. Collins is looking to flip the seat red in what's shaping up to be a high-stakes Senate race.

Trump heading to Dalton, GA to campaign for Rep. Mike Collins in his Senate challenge against Democrat John Ossoff. Collins is mounting a Republican primary bid to take on the incumbent senator.

President Trump defended Press Secretary Katie Zacharia amid media scrutiny, calling the treatment "very unfair" and describing reporters as "truly nasty people."

Trump told Zacharia she doesn't need the job and suggested she reconsider, citing her family. "You got a beautiful husband and family. Beautiful kids," he said, adding he met them yesterday.

He plans to speak with her after his Georgia rally but made clear he won't fire her. Trump noted he's watched Zacharia on television for years and called her "very nice."

Trump praised Kaylub Giamanco, an armed civilian who confronted and stopped a school shooter in Oregon. "Thank goodness for a man that had a gun and knew how to use it," Trump said, calling Giamanco a "great hero" who "went in and did the business." The incident reignites debate over armed civilians in active shooter scenarios.

Democrat congressional candidate Blake Gendebien is under fire after undercover audio caught him saying he's "laser focused" on preserving vaccination mandates—despite running in NY-21, a Trump +21 district where Rep. Elise Stefanik's seat is now open.

Gendebien's stance puts him sharply at odds with voters in a district that leans heavily against government health mandates. His Republican opponent is Constantino.

The debate over vaccine mandates remains live heading into 2026, with critics arguing such policies violate bodily autonomy and individual liberty. COVID-era mandates—firings, travel bans, vaccine passports—sparked mass pushback from Americans who saw them as government overreach.

Whether a pro-mandate position can survive in a red-leaning district will be a test case for how much the issue still moves voters two years out.

Sen. Rick Scott issued a direct warning to Turkish President Erdogan during a Cyprus visit, telling Turkey to "act like an ally, treat other sovereign nations with respect."

Scott, who serves on the Foreign Relations Committee and Armed Services Seapower Subcommittee, met with Cypriot leaders to reaffirm U.S. backing for Cyprus's sovereignty amid Turkey's military presence on the island since its 1974 invasion. He toured the UN Buffer Zone that divides the territory.

The Florida senator also met with Cyprus Energy Minister Michael Damianos to discuss expanding Europe-Middle East energy infrastructure as U.S. oil and gas exports increase.

In Greece, Scott held talks on strengthening the U.S.-Greece alliance, NATO cooperation, and countering Russian aggression in the region. Discussions also covered both nations' relationships with Israel and support during ongoing tensions with Iran.

The visit signals renewed U.S. pressure on Turkey over its Cyprus occupation and broader regional conduct.

AI agents have processed over 138 million crypto payments—buying data, computing power, and access to other AIs. Since they can't open bank accounts, crypto is their only option. The next wave of crypto users may not be human at all.

Apple's rumored foldable iPhone isn't winning everyone over. Some users are pushing back on the idea of an even larger screen, citing screen fatigue and overstimulation from constant device use.

The counterargument: A growing preference for smaller, less intrusive tech experiences—a potential shift away from the "bigger is better" trend that's dominated smartphone design for years.

No official release date yet, but the debate over screen size vs. usability is heating up.

Flying cars are now reality before crypto's promised supercycle materialized. The irony isn't lost on market observers watching futuristic transportation arrive while digital assets remain range-bound.

Conservative commentator Nick Sortor calls out what he sees as media hypocrisy: outlets criticizing Katie Zacharia's lack of legal credentials while previously celebrating Karine Jean-Pierre's appointment despite her qualifications being primarily identity-based.

The contrast highlights ongoing partisan battles over merit vs. representation in high-profile government roles.

Laura Loomer warns that if Iran obtains nuclear weapons post-Trump, Russia will likely be behind it. She points to Russian state media frequently advocating for Iranian nuclear capability. Her stance: Iran must never be allowed to go nuclear.

Laura Loomer warns that if Iran obtains nuclear weapons post-Trump, Russia will likely be the enabler. The comment underscores concerns about potential Moscow-Tehran nuclear cooperation after the current administration ends.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine isn't about Zelenskyy—it's about Putin's broader ambitions. The argument: even if Ukraine held elections tomorrow, Moscow's territorial goals wouldn't change. The real concern is a domino effect across Eastern Europe—Poland, Latvia, Lithuania—if Putin succeeds in Ukraine. Removing Zelenskyy from office won't halt Russian expansionism. The focus should be on Putin's long-term imperial strategy, not personality politics in Kyiv.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine isn't about Zelenskyy—it's about Putin's territorial ambitions, according to political commentator Laura Loomer. She argues Putin's endgame extends beyond Ukraine to Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, and potentially all of Europe. Removing Zelenskyy from office wouldn't halt Russian imperialism, she says. The war began with Russia invading Ukraine, not the reverse, and Putin would find justification for conflict regardless of who leads in Kyiv. The focus on personalities misses the broader strategic threat.

Laura Loomer questions GOP shift on Russia stance, noting party supported sanctions just weeks ago following Lindsey Graham's death. She's demanding FBI release Graham's toxicology report after Russian and Iranian state media claimed involvement in his death. Loomer pushes back against accusations she's on Ukraine's payroll for criticizing Putin.
