Within the Republican Party, Trump became a kingmaker, his endorsement all but necessary to anyone who wished to win a Republican primary election for a major office. MAGA movement, nativist political movement that emerged in the United States during the 2016 presidential campaign of its putative leader, Donald Trump. Its name is derived from Trump’s 2016 campaign slogan “Make America Great Again,” which became a rallying cry for many Trump supporters during his candidacy, presidency (2017–21), and beyond.

And, on cue, Trump lied repeatedly about the order’s requirements as soon as it was released. “‘Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest’ comes to mind,” Chutkan told Trump’s lawyer, invoking Henry II. If you need a refresher, Henry never outright told his knights to murder the meddlesome Archbishop of Canterbury in 1170. But after he dropped that ageless line, a bunch of them just kinda went and did it. McQuade told me there’s a chance, even if it’s not likely, that Powell has already negotiated or is in the process of negotiating a plea deal with Smith. Or, she could be waiting to see if he actually intends to charge her in the case.

In 2012, while a finalist for a Rhodes scholarship, he learned an informal sexual assault accusation had been leveled against him; he did not pursue the award. Witt, who denied the accusation, said in an interview that he blames a New York Times article about it for ruining his chances to play professionally. It was there, he said, while surrounded by liberals and “RINOs,” that he became a Trump supporter, mocking his classmates after the 2016 election for what he said was being offered — puppies, therapy and delayed finals — to deal with the emotional trauma.

"The MAGA Republicans are those people who, in fact, say that the use of violence is a legitimate tool, like what happened to the Capitol." Biden’s insistence during the address that "not every Republican, not even the majority of Republicans, are MAGA Republicans," has hardly mollified his critics. Fox News commentator Kayleigh McEnany, a former Trump administration press secretary, echoed a common GOP theme, tweeting that Biden had delivered the "most divisive presidential speech" she’d ever seen. "There is no question that the Republican Party today is dominated, driven, and intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans, and that is a threat to this country," Biden said.

Over the summer, Greene and Gaetz went on the road together, holding “America First” rallies in various states, dishing out applause lines about the election being stolen and Trump running in 2024. Patrick Witt is a former Yale quarterback running for Georgia’s 10th Congressional District seat against a Republican who formerly held the seat, and he visited Trump recently. So did Bo Hines, 26, who also played football at Yale and is running for a still-to-be-determined seat in North Carolina.

Leah typifies the notion that trying to address a social evil is the true evil and can’t you just be a cool girl like her who knows politics are soooooo dull and can you believe she’s willing to say “pussy” oh wow omg. Eytan said her team had no idea of the prosecution’s intent to dismiss the case before it happened, and that she came prepared Tuesday morning to finalize any pre-trial discussions ahead of trial. As they were waiting for the hearing to begin, she said, her team happened upon the prosecution’s motion for dismissal on the internet.
While Judge Lama denied the defense’s request to dismiss the charges, he did take the highly unusual step of admonishing prosecutors for what he suggested was a negligent pattern of discovery violations. And he blocked them from using 12 of 14 expert witnesses set to testify about DNA, cellphone, and vehicle data analysis. She didn’t tell anyone, so it was a surprise to us for sure to hear all these details about Suzanne’s life that none of us knew,” Leewaye told The Daily Beast. Ultimately, nearly a year after Suzanne vanished, Barry Morphew was charged with first-degree murder and tampering with physical evidence. Then he began to offer different theories about what happened to his wife, suggesting she may have been the victim of an animal attack—or abducted. In an interview, his defense attorney doubled down on the idea that cops simply latched onto an easy villain.

Eytan added that she was not sweating the prospect of prosecutors refiling the murder charges against Morphew, and that Morphew was not worried about it either. Instead, she said, he was focused on finding Suzanne and the separate case involving the 2020 ballot. "I'm getting fake news alerts again," the ex-Bravo star said in a video shared to her Instagram and X, formerly Twitter, accounts on January 13, 2021. "Don't believe all the bulls–t that's out there. I've been in Florida since Dec. 3."

In early January 2021, some social media users claimed to have spotted her at the riots, saying they saw her in an Instagram video. But despite describing the rioters at the Capitol as "patriots" on Instagram, she vowed she was not there herself. Flicker often boasts about Trump on social media, including writing, "Thank you President Trump for really caring about America," in an Instagram post from July. Trump had shared an image of a flyer that listed claims of his achievements for Jewish people in the U.S. and Israel. In his post, Trump added a caption where he accused "liberal Jews" of ruining the country because they "believed false narratives."
Or, at a minimum, allow video recording that can be released after some appropriate time lag, the brief states. NBCUniversal News Group filed a 42-page brief asking the court to allow TV coverage of the trial because of its extraordinary importance to the country. “If ever a trial were to be televised, this one should be, for the benefit of American democracy,” they argue. Meanwhile, Judge Arthur Engoron ordered Trump attorney Chris Kise to apologize to a court clerk and an AG office attorney—both women—after he was rude and dismissive to them during a sidebar. Former fixer and Stormy-payer-offer Michael Cohen was supposed to testify in Trump’s NY fraud trial this week, but got sick (with a doctor’s note) and didn’t show. Back to this week, Trump’s surrogates took up the mantle of attacking the Special Counsel as soon as Chutkan issued her order, so he can rely on an army of propagandists to do some of the work the judge would prefer he not do.

Groups are already threatening to sue, especially if they think the new map violates the Voting Rights Act. Janet and the giant impeach — Wisconsin Republicans appear to be backing off of their plans to impeach a liberal newly-elected Supreme Court Justice Janet Protasiewicz before the court hears a case on the state’s most-gerrymandered-in-the-nation electoral maps. Now a former Chief justice is trying to quash a subpoena to appear in a civil case seeking sunlight on a panel of former justices who advised GOP Assembly Speaker Robin Vos on impeachment.
In late 2022 an estimated 4 in 10 Republicans identified themselves as “MAGA Republicans.” Shortly after the midterm elections of 2022, Trump declared his candidacy for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. In view of the strength of the MAGA movement, other candidates for the Republican nomination have been forced to adopt strategies that limit direct or serious criticisms of Trump and emphasize their acceptance of at least some of the extremist views of MAGA members. In the aftermath of the election, there was a rush to understand and respond to the new political power that the MAGA movement represented. The media ran numerous articles and television reports analyzing the development and makeup of the movement.
For the next four years, Trump used executive orders to make good on some of his promises to MAGA voters. One week into his term the new president signed an order that banned immigration to the United States from seven Muslim-majority countries. And in 2018 Trump began leveling tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada, the European Union, and China. Simultaneously, he increased his popularity among Republicans in general by attempting to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare”), supporting a massive tax cut that primarily benefited corporations and the wealthy, and nominating three ultraconservative Supreme Court justices.
Morphew and his legal team have denied any wrongdoing, stating that he last saw Suzanne asleep at home before he headed into work, and that he had secured a hotel room for someone helping him with a construction gig. The Morphew family and the 11th Judicial District Attorney’s office did not respond to requests for comment on this story. The Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement to The Daily Beast that the investigation into what happened to Suzanne Morphew was ongoing—and thus they could not share any details.

Cawthorn told the group he wasn’t sure he wanted to get involved in the crowded primary in which Witt is running but changed his mind after the two had dinner. Some of the endorsements put them at odds with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), who has staked Republican money and strategy on flipping the handful of seats the party needs to win back the majority rather than taking sides in a battle between the MAGA crew and less Trumpian members. It will be all about the show of 2024 to bring Donald Trump back into power. … They will impeach Biden, they will impeach Harris, they will kill everything,” said Rick Wilson, a longtime Republican strategist who is sharply critical of Trump.
He likely won’t spend much time discussing the fact that he’s repeatedly pushed House GOPs on Jordan and repeatedly lost. Some of those running to join the MAGA caucus are more overtly controversial. Anthony Sabatini, a Republican state representative in Florida who doesn’t know yet what House district he is seeking, calls Democrats who support mask mandates “Nazis.” During the racial justice protests in May 2020, he tweeted a photo of an AR-15 as a warning to protesters. In a now-deleted tweet, he shared a link to a QAnon website that came with a warning about violent content. Cawthorn spokesman Luke Ball said the congressman employs a rigorous endorsement process.
