Carlson Breaks With GOP, Says He Won’t Back Republicans

Tucker Carlson told the Can’t Be Censored podcast that there’s “no chance I would support the Republican Party,” signaling a dramatic break with the GOP ahead of the 2026 elections and saying he hasn’t decided what his next move will be. He added he won’t vote for Democrats either, criticizing the party for decisions driven by donors and foreign‑policy considerations, including Israel and Iran. Carlson, who built a large following after leaving Fox News in 2023, has long been a GOP defender but has grown more critical, including past remarks about Trump’s Iran policy and a later apology for supporting him in 2024.

Metro 2039: Ukrainian Perspective Turns Moscow's Ruins into a Political Horror FPS

4A Games has unveiled Metro 2039, a single-player horror FPS that returns to a nuclear-ravaged Moscow, but is told from a distinctly Ukrainian perspective. The Stranger, a fully voiced survivor, battles mutated monsters and a new autocratic regime called the Novoreich, whose propaganda and child abductions echo real-world Russian aggression. The game preserves Metro staples like air-monitor beeps and gas masks while leaning into psychological horror, and it features collaboration with Dmitry Glukhovsky. Due for release this Winter on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, Metro 2039 marks a rare direct political critique in games about the war.

Three Reasons Dem SOTU Stunts Won’t Upstage Trump

A conservative op-ed argues Democrats cannot outshine President Trump during the State of the Union, citing three reasons: Trump’s substantial first-year accomplishments dwarf the opposition’s protests, a patriotic backdrop makes anti-Trump displays seem un-American, and Trump’s own showmanship makes it nearly impossible for Democrats to upstage him, with Spanberger’s official response unlikely to alter the dynamic.
