MSNBC host and far-left fabulist Joy Reid has deleted her social media account on tech entrepreneur Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter) platform following President-elect Donald J. Trump’s landslide 2024 election victory. Reid is best known for her on-air and live-streamed tirades, often baselessly accusing Americans of racism and peddling far-left conspiracy theories.
Earlier this year, the far-left mainstay at MSNBC emerged as one of the leading BlueAnon conspiracy theorists regarding the attempted assassination of Trump in Bulter, Pennsylvania. In a video posted on social media, Reid—under the auspices of ‘just asking questions’—posits Trump may have been struck by glass and not a bullet.
“We still don’t know for sure whether Donald Trump was hit by a bullet, whether he was hit by glass fragments, whether he was hit by shrapnel—we don’t have those details,” Reid states in her video, going on to falsely claim that the public has no details from Trump’s attending physician at the Butler, Pennsylvania area hospital where he was treated.
The National Pulse reported in March of this year that Reid was dismissing concerns over crime caused by illegal immigrants, accusing the Republican Party of “demagoguing” the murder of 22-year-old Laken Riley. While attempting to criticize the Laken Riley Act, legislation in Congress addressing criminal immigrant detention, the MSNBC host revealed she was oblivious to the fact that local authorities simply release many illegal immigrants arrested for crimes before federal officials can detain them.
Additionally, Reid has appeared utterly ignorant of basic political knowledge at times. In 2020, she insisted the website FiveThirtyEight derived its name from the number of votes by which Al Gore lost Florida to George W. Bush. FiveThirtyEight takes its name from the total number of electors in the Electoral College.

Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) has been picked as President-elect Donald J. Trump‘s Secretary of State. Opposition to the Florida Republican’s nomination has been vocal online. Many MAGA voters and supporters of Trump’s America First agenda are expressing concerns over the senator’s aggressively hawkish foreign policy views, especially regarding the Middle East and the war in Ukraine. The appointment of Rubio as the nation’s top diplomat could undermine Trump’s efforts to end the conflagration of global conflicts that erupted during Joe Biden’s presidency.
The case against Rubio’s nomination as Secretary of State is strong, and one made by the 2024 Trump campaign in their own vetting documents of the senator when he was being considered as a possible vice presidential choice. Early in Trump’s first term in office—and even before—Rubio positioned himself against the America First leader and the MAGA movement. The vetting documents note: “In 2016, Rubio contended that Trump was dangerous and could not be trusted with America’s nuclear codes—a position he continued to hold even after dropping out of the 2016 GOP primary.”
RUSSIA HOAX.
Even more concerning, Rubio enthusiastically supported Robert Mueller’s Russia probe. In 2017, the Florida Republican insisted Mueller would carry out his investigation “in a fair and balanced way.” Subsequently, the allegations that the 2016 Trump campaign colluded with Russia were found to be a hoax, despite Mueller’s refusal to acknowledge this fact.
Additionally, Rubio has repeatedly played into Democratic Party and Deep State smears, claiming Trump is a pawn of Russia’s President Vladimir Putin. In 2022, Rubio said it was “unfortunate” that Trump appeared to praise Putin and warned the America First leader should be “careful” with his language.
NEOCON FOREIGN POLICY.
The biggest concerns regarding Rubio’s potential appointment as Secretary of State revolve around his neoconservative foreign policy views. Rubio is a staunch interventionist and has repeatedly indicated he supports U.S. military intervention in Iran with the goal of regime change. While Iran is a regional antagonist to U.S. interests in the Middle East, Trump was able to isolate and ultimately sideline the Islamic regime through sanctions and diplomacy during his first presidential administration—largely avoiding direct conflict.
In addition to Iran, Rubio was a proponent of continued U.S. military involvement in Syria. In 2019, he criticized the Trump administration’s decision to pull U.S. troops from Northern Syria, stating, “…the Trump administration has made a grave mistake that will have implications far beyond Syria.”
As early as 2011, Sen. Rubio backed U.S. military intervention in Libya to overthrow Muammar Gaddafi. Gaddafi was assassinated in late 2011, plunging the country into chaos, which allowed Islamist elements to take control of large swaths of Libya’s territory. The country remains a failed state rife with slavery and a major launchpad for illegal immigration to Europe.
MASS MIGRATION ADVOCATE.
Another concerning aspect of Rubio’s policy views is his support for mass immigration. During the 2024 Senate fight over a so-called border bill—which actually was intended to deliver additional military aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan—Rubio blamed “crazy… MAGA people” for the legislation’s failure.
Rubio also criticized Trump’s efforts to construct a wall along the U.S. southern border. In 2019, Rubio criticized Trump’s plan to declare a national emergency to facilitate completing the wall, stating, “…we have a crisis at our southern border, but no crisis justifies violating the constitution.”
During the 2016 Republican presidential primary, Sen. Rubio—himself seeking the nomination—blasted Trump’s language regarding illegal Mexican immigrants. “Trump’s comments are not just offensive and inaccurate, but also divisive,” the Florida Senator said at the time. Infamously, Rubio was a member of the Senate’s ‘Gang of Eight’ who pushed legislation to grant a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants.
ORIGINAL NEVER TRUMPER.
Before aligning himself with President-elect Trump, Rubio was one of the original ‘Never Trump’ promoters. The Florida Senator repeatedly pushed ‘Never Trump’ talking points during the 2016 Republican presidential primary, calling Trump a “con man” and accusing him of pulling “the biggest scam in American political history.”
In March of 2016, Rubio accused Trump of promoting political violence and division. He said the America First leader’s candidacy and rhetoric would cause America to be “ripped apart at the seams.” Additionally, Rubio smeared the MAGA movement, calling it a “frightening, grotesque, and disturbing development in American politics.” Rubio’s 2016 presidential campaign website featured a prominent call for his supporters to “Stop Donald Trump.”

President-elect Donald J. Trump has announced several new appointments to fill out his White House’s senior staff. Dan Scavino, Stephen Miller, James Blair, and Taylor Budowich will each serve as Deputy Chief of Staff, working under Trump’s White House Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles.
“Dan, Stephen, James, and Taylor were ‘best in class’ advisors on my winning campaign, and I know they will honorably serve the American people in the White House,” Trump said in a statement. He added: “They will continue to work hard to Make America Great Again in their respective new roles.”
Scavino and Miller both served in senior roles during Trump’s prior administration. The former served as Director of Social Media from 2017 to 2021 and White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications from 2020 to 2021. Miller served as the first Trump White House’s senior advisor for policy and director of speechwriting.
James Blair, who served as political director on President-elect Trump’s 2024 campaign, is a veteran of the America First leader’s 2020 presidential re-election campaign. Previously, Blair worked as a political consultant in Flordia and served as Deputy Chief of Staff to Governor Ron DeSantis and a senior advisor to DeSantis’s 2018 gubernatorial campaign.
Lastly, Taylor Budowich—prior to joining the 2024 presidential campaign—served in a senior role in President-elect Trump’s Leadership PAC, Save America. Additionally, Budwoch was the CEO of the pro-Trump Super PAC, MAGA Inc.

President-elect Donald J. Trump is naming attorney William “Bill” McGinley as his White House Counsel. McGinley is widely considered one of the top election law lawyers in the nation, with extensive experience with national party committees, national conventions, campaign finance matters, and representing Republicans in recounts and election contests.
“Bill is a smart and tenacious lawyer who will help me advance our America First agenda while fighting for election integrity and against the weaponization of law enforcement,” Trump said in a statement announcing the appointment on Tuesday. The President-elect continued: “He served in my first term as White House Cabinet Secretary and played a major role in our election victory as the RNC’s Outside Counsel for Election Integrity.”
McGinley worked with The National Pulse’s Editor-in-Chief, Raheem Kassam, in 2020, putting together an analysis of Democrat election lawyer Marc Elias and George Soros advisor Rosa Brooks‘s plan to establish a predicate for stealing the 2020 presidential election. The Democrat election lawyers anticipated that Donald Trump would appear the overwhelming victor during initial election returns but explained that the weeks-long counting of mail-in ballots would eventually put Joe Biden over the top.
Previously a partner at Jones Day, McGinley has served as RNC Deputy Counsel, NRSC General Counsel, and outside counsel to the NRCC. In 2016, McGinley helped lead the Trump campaign’s national convention delegate whip operation, defeating a Never Trump uprising that tried to steal the nomination.
In 2019, he was a frequent guest on Stephen K. Bannon’s War Room, defending President Trump during impeachment. In the summer of 2020, he was one of the first War Room guests to sound the alarm about the Biden campaign and their dark money allies’ schemes.
Bill McGinley, a close friend and outside counsel to @Article3Project, is an excellent choice to serve as President Trump's White House Counsel.
Bill is tough, smart, and fair.
And he already knows his way around the White House and the Executive Branch.

Following Donald J. Trump‘s election victory last Tuesday, celebrations unfolded early Wednesday outside the Washington, D.C. jail holding individuals convicted in connection with the January 6 Capitol riots. Supporters of the President-elect gathered, marking the occasion by opening bottles of champagne and offering toasts in anticipation of potential pardons for those involved in the unrest at the Capitol, which included physical encounters with law enforcement and damage to federal property.
Among the celebrants was Michelle Witthoeft, whose daughter, Ashli Babbitt, was fatally shot during the riot. Witthoeft has been a regular presence outside the jail, maintaining a vigil for her daughter. She expressed enthusiasm about Trump’s return to leadership, stating, “Today was amazing. Woke up with the president of the United States, the rightful president back in his spot. And today, after 828 days, we’re going to pop some champagne and raise a glass to President Trump.”
TRUMP BACKS PARDONS.
Trump campaigned on a platform that included pardoning January 6 defendants, whom he has described as “hostages” and “political prisoners.” In March, Trump took to his Truth Social platform to demand, “Free the January 6 Hostages being wrongfully imprisoned!” He reiterated his stance on potential pardons during a forum in Chicago hosted by the National Association of Black Journalists. When asked if he would issue pardons, Trump replied, “Oh, absolutely, I would. If they’re innocent, I would pardon them.”
Despite his broad commitment, Trump has acknowledged that not all cases may qualify for pardons, indicating they would be reviewed individually. During a CNN town hall, he commented, “I am inclined to pardon many of them. I can’t say for every single one, because a couple of them probably got out of control.”
This past summer, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) overreached when using 18 U.S. Code § 1512(c)(2) to apply enhanced sentences to the January 6 defendants. Subsequently, several have seen their sentences either reduced or been released for time served.

Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) is crossing the aisle and supporting President-elect Donald J. Trump‘s rumored Secretary of State nominee, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL). Although Trump has yet to make a formal announcement, Rubio is the subject of a whisper campaign to be his choice for the top diplomatic position.
Fetterman’s endorsement could pave the way for a smoother confirmation process for Rubio. With the recent election results, Republicans have secured a majority in the Senate, holding 52 seats (less one as Senator J.D. Vance will serve as Vice President). This gives Rubio a favorable outlook for confirmation, as he will only require a simple majority of 51 senators. Fetterman’s support indicates potential bipartisan backing, even if limited.
In a public statement, Fetterman addressed his decision on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter). He acknowledged the inherent political differences expected from nominees selected by the opposing party. Nonetheless, Fetterman expressed confidence in Rubio’s capabilities, stating, “my colleague [Marco Rubio] is a strong choice and I look forward to voting for his confirmation.”
Unsurprisingly, the other team’s pick will have political differences than my own.
Fetterman has emerged as a quasi-heterodox Democrat, often bucking the party line on foreign policy—especially regarding his support for Israel.
During the 2024 presidential election, as Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign struggled in Pennsylvania, it leaned heavily on Fetterman in an effort to win over working-class voters. Despite Fetterman entering the fray, Trump won the critical swing state.

New York Judge Juan Merchan is moving to delay his decision regarding whether to dismiss the New York business record fraud case against President-elect Donald J. Trump for a week while he weighs a request by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg‘s office to suspend the proceedings while Trump is in office as President of the United States. Meanwhile, attorneys for Trump are reiterating their request that Judge Merchan outright dismiss the case against Trump, citing a Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity.
Merchan notified the attorneys for both Trump and Bragg that he would not rule on the future of the case until November 19. If the judge decides to merely suspend the proceedings, the sentencing stemming from the guilty verdict could resume once President Trump is no longer in office.
Should Merchan decide to suspend proceedings for the next four years, it would make it difficult for Trump’s attorneys to appeal the case and have a higher court throw out the charges. However, the judge could still side with Trump’s attorneys and rule to vacate the charges entirely.
District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office says it agrees with Merchan’s order, noting: “The People agree that these are unprecedented circumstances.” In response to the stay order, attorneys for President-elect Trump are asking Merchan again to dismiss the case against him, arguing this is “necessary to avoid unconstitutional impediments to President Trump’s ability to govern.”

Vice President Kamala Harris‘s 2024 presential campaign allegedly served a large number of union construction workers at a major work site a brown bag lunch that some equated to prison food in an effort to win them over to her side. One union member at the work site insinuates the food was so bad it likely cemented the workers’ opposition to Harris’s presidential bid.
The union worker states that about three weeks before the election, the site workers were informed that they would all receive a free lunch. Many interpreted this, initially, as a lunch provided by the union hall for their specific local—but were shocked to learn that the food was for the whole work site which numbered over a thousand workers. According to the individual, it isn’t unusual for the union hall to cater a meal from a local restaurant to mark things like 30 days without an accident. However, this is usually for only a single shift or group of workers, not the entire site.
PRISON FOOD.
“I walked up to the front of the break area to see several guys in hard hats with scowls on their faces, saying ‘one bag per guy.’ As in one brown paper bag,” the union worker writes. He adds: “I sit down at my lunch table and open up a single-slice-of-ham sandwich on a “great value” stale bun, with the smallest bag of chips, and a tiny apple.”
He notes that as the union crew ate lunch, an individual affiliated with a group backing Harris began to lecture them on their vote and the need to support Democrats. This prompted many to throw their bags in the trash and leave. Later, he says he was informed by a coworker, who had worked a job at a nearby correctional facility, that he had seen prisoners assembling the same paper bag lunches for their fellow inmates.
President Donald J. Trump received 43 percent of union household votes in the 2024 election, with Harris winning only a slim majority.

President Donald J. Trump‘s stunning landslide election victory over Vice President Kamala Harris has sparked a mental health crisis at the U.S. State Department. On Friday, the agency organized an in-house therapy session for employees who feel unable to cope with the changing political environment and Trump’s return to the White House.
“Managing stress during change,” reads a State Department email message announcing the therapy session to agency employees. During the one-hour session, attendees were encouraged to express their unfiltered, emotional reaction to the presidential election and Trump’s victory. The Bureau of Medical Services was responsible for organizing the sessions.
“Change is a constant in our lives, but it can often bring about stress and uncertainty,” the State Department email reads, adding: “Join us for an insightful webinar where we delve into effective stress management techniques to help you navigate these challenging times. This session will provide tips and practical strategies for managing stress and maintaining your well-being.”
Meanwhile, other bureaus within the State Department organized internal meetings and sessions to discuss the future of their employment and mission under the new Trump presidency. The Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs had employees meet with its assistant secretary and acting undersecretary for political affairs, John Bass. Most of these internal meetings appear to be attempts to tamp down employee panic, or spaces for employees to vent their fears.
According to the State Department email regarding the employee therapy sessions, there will be another agency-wide event on November 13.

The White Stripes are dropping their lawsuits against President-elect Donald J. Trump‘s campaign over using their song ‘Seven Nation Army’ in a video posted to social media. According to a filing in the U.S. District Court’s Southern District of New York, the band—through its frontman Jack White—is asking the case be “dismissed without prejudice” and is dropping “all claims against Defendants Donald John Trump, Donald J. Trump for President 2024, and Margo McAtee Martin.”
Jack White and his ex-wife Meg White comprise the two members of The White Stripes; however, the former appears to be the primary instigator behind the litigation. The National Pulse reported in September that White announced the lawsuit following Margo Martin’s posting of a video featuring the band’s song. White filed a copyright infringement lawsuit, accusing the campaign of “flagrant misappropriation” of the song.
It remains unclear if the Trump campaign had a licensing agreement with the music’s license holder. Such agreements are often a hurdle for music artists who become upset with certain political candidates using their music. Regardless of the license status, White’s decision to sue Trump garnered him and his band headlines for several days and the adulation of Democrats supporting Vice President Kamala Harris.
Despite insisting the lawsuit was serious and aimed to bar Trump’s use of the song and recoup any losses, White has now quietly moved to withdraw the legal action. Trump’s landslide victory in the 2024 election and the relatively low chances of White’s lawsuit being successful—despite its media accolades—were likely motivating factors in the decision.
Docket dive: The White Stripes sued Trump in 9/24 for use of "Seven Nation Army" which they called "among the most well-known and influential musical works of all time." On Sunday, Nov 10 they filed to dismiss the case, photo below. Inner City Press on the dockets pic.twitter.com/46JfL1XgZa
