Trump Blames Fox for Midterm Slump as Rallies Show Empty Seats

President Donald Trump is publicly attacking Fox News for insufficient coverage of his midterm rallies, coinciding with reports of shrinking crowds and falling approval ratings. The White House has also barred Politico from Air Force One, escalating a broader media crackdown. While Trump insists his events are 'hotter than ever,' outlets like Salon and The Daily Beast note that Fox’s limited live coverage and the president’s aggressive rhetoric signal a growing panic ahead of the November elections.

Clavicular’s Rape Charges Expose MAGA’s Shift From Free Speech to Crime Denial

Braden Peters, the internet personality known as Clavicular, has been charged in Massachusetts with rape, drugging a person for sex, and providing alcohol to a minor. The charges stem from an alleged incident in May 2025 involving a 17-year-old girl at his family home in Chatham. While Peters denies the allegations, right-wing influencers have rallied around him, framing the case as a victim of 'cancel culture' rather than a criminal matter. This reaction highlights a broader trend where some conservative figures defend individuals accused of violent crimes, not just hate speech, blurring the line between political dissent and criminal behavior.

Trump’s Red Scare in the Midterms: MAGA’s Fear, Not a Socialist Wave

Eric Garcia argues that Republicans are reviving a McCarthy-era red scare to frame Democrats as socialist, but there’s little evidence of an imminent socialist threat: DSA influence is limited, centrists hold more sway in the Democratic caucus, and Trump’s rhetoric leverages fear of communism to rally MAGA. Polls show few voters identify as democratic socialists, suggesting the midterms will hinge on issues beyond a supposed socialist takeover.

Trump’s Push to Dismantle the Postwar Order Leaves Global Vacuum

The piece argues that MAGA aimed to overturn the postwar international order, but in doing so created a vacuum that Russia, China, and others are rushing to fill. With American leadership fading and alliances fraying, global security is diminishing, wars expand beyond borders, and new tech-empowered warfare levels the playing field. Rather than abandoning the order, the author suggests reform is needed to prevent a drift toward greater instability and a costly arms race.

Trump’s Data-Center Gamble Divides MAGA and Voters

Trump has doubled down on data centers and AI, but his MAGA base and a broad swath of voters remain wary or opposed; polls show sizable opposition to expanding data centers, and GOP strategists warn that unqualified support could hurt candidates. Some MAGA figures push back, while analysts say Trump’s stance is tied to perceived competition with China over AI compute, highlighting a split within the party as midterms loom.

Kimmel Mocks MAGA Brains, Teases AI Files to Wake Trump

Jimmy Kimmel, in a HuffPost monologue, mocks Trump’s MAGA followers with a quip that the red hats may be cutting off brain circulation and cheekily proposes that Trump will finally take AI warnings seriously if ChatGPT reveals the so-called ‘Trump-Epstein’ files, while noting Trump has dismissed AI concerns as a hoax and his base remains loyal.

Prosecutors say he orchestrated the ambush outside a Santa Cruz hotel after she threatened to reveal his alleged criminal conduct and abuse; he denies wrongdoing and faces further probes for illegal enrichment and possible cocaine links as former allies distance themselves and his inflated, sometimes false, biography is exposed.

Maher: MAGA Is a Cult for Falling for Trump's $5,000 Promise

Bill Maher slammed MAGA on Real Time and in social posts, calling supporters 'not that bright' and describing the movement as a cult for falling for Trump's latest promise to give every American adult a $5,000 dividend if Republicans win the midterms; he notes Trump has made similar pledges before, mocks Mitch McConnell's absence, and portrays the promise as a political con rather than a serious policy offer.

Vance Drives MAGA’s Millennial Outreach Ahead of the Midterms

At the Dallas GOP convention, JD Vance—the first millennial vice president—takes on the role of MAGA’s messenger to redress waning support among millennials and Gen Z for Trump, pushing a family-focused, birthright citizenship narrative while attacking Democrats as anti-family. The speech highlighted cost concerns like rising energy prices and mortgage rates, and underscored a broader strategy to rally voters for roughly 35 House candidates and multiple Senate races, with talk of a possible 2028 bid.
