The mayor of #NorthDakota’s fourth largest city is out of a job after he accidentally texted the female city attorney a video of him performing a #SexAct on himself – which he intended as a “sexy video” for his girlfriend, the #DailyBeast reported Wednesday.

#TomRoss, 60, resigned as the mayor of #Minot, population 50,000, effective Monday, after a two-month investigation into the sexually explicit video concluded.

A #WhiteHouse plot to axe international broadcasters #RadioFreeEurope / #RadioLiberty has been foiled after presidential advisor #KariLake was forced to rescind a letter cancelling the network’s grants.

It comes just a day after a judge temporarily halted an attempt by the #Trump administration to shut down the station, claiming it would “violate the #Constitution and federal laws.”

"James Carville Makes Bold Prediction About When Trump’s White House Will ‘Collapse’”, #DailyBeast

"James Carville predicted that President Donald Trump’s White House team will 'collapse' in less than a month.”

I like Carville and think he’s a smart and mostly correct political strategist. I think that collapse will come. I’ve previously argued that we, as a country, are like an addict that needs to hit rock bottom before anything can change. I think rock bottom is more likely later in the year, but I hope he’s right.

Musk and DOGE will collapse first and maybe that’s where the domino effect in the administration collapse starts.

The co-manager of #DonaldTrump’s #WhiteHouse campaign has raked in $22 million and counting from the #Republican nominee’s political operation in just two years, the Daily Beast has learned.

#ChrisLaCivita, an influential #GOP operative, reaped a $19 million financial windfall in 2022 when he served as a “strategic consultant” to two Trump-affiliated super #PACs, campaign finance records show.

#DonaldTrump’s newly-announced running mate has publicly bashed those who’ve changed their #pronouns, despite him having legally changed his own name twice in his lifetime.

Those name changes aren’t even counting #JDVance’s most recent shift to being called simply “J.D.,” which is how he was announced to the country as Trump’s running mate on Monday, despite it not being his #legal name.

The #DailyBeast reports #LauraIngraham had a pair of binoculars with her in the courtroom, and was told several times to stop using them.
Although binoculars are not, "strictly speaking, banned in the courtroom," according to the Beast, they are "banned when evidence is being shown to legal counsel before being presented to the jury — which is exactly when the #FoxNews host whipped them out."
