The Daily Beast Latest Articles | Opinion: A Car Crash President Is Driving His Party Off a Cliff. Buckle Up! by Michael Ian Black
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
The piece argues that, bizarrely, Donald Trump – portrayed as the most corrupt and unpopular modern president – still wields an “unbreakable chokehold” on the Republican Party, as evidenced by this week’s primaries where Trump‑backed challengers ousted incumbents such as Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy and Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie (the latter losing after demanding the full release of the “Epstein files”). The author notes that Trump has also turned on former allies like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert for similar reasons, and wonders what fuels his continued grip: raw charisma, a twisted vision of America, or a messianic appeal to a base that ignores constitutional limits. The article cites a February poll showing 60 % of MAGA hard‑liners still support a third Trump term, despite its illegality, and warns that his influence could shape the 2026 midterms and set up a “rigged election” narrative for 2028. Ultimately, the author laments the tragedy of a party loyal to a leader who has built a $1.8 billion slush fund, defended the Jan. 6 insurrectionists, and threatens democratic norms, urging millions of voters to choose a different path in the upcoming elections.

yahoo news | Lauren Boebert Trolls Pam Bondi With Reference To One Particularly Unhinged...
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R‑Colo.) mocked former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi on X shortly after President Donald Trump dismissed her. Boebert, a longtime critic of the Justice Department’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, seized on Bondi’s departure to highlight what she called an “unhinged” moment from the attorney general’s recent appearance before the House Judiciary Committee.
During the February hearing, Bondi went “mega‑viral” when she defended her department’s work on the Epstein investigation by bragging that the Dow Jones Industrial Average had broken the 50,000‑point barrier. “The Dow right now is over — the Dow is over 50,000,” she announced, prompting laughter from committee members and an outpouring of ridicule on social media.
Boebert, who was one of only four Republicans to back a discharge petition forcing the full release of the Epstein documents, used the incident to underscore her anger over the Justice Department’s “botched” handling of the case. Her post, “DOW fell below 50,000?” was a jab at Bondi’s momentary triumph and a reminder that the former attorney general’s tenure ended amid controversy and criticism.
