Enjoy Your Summer Holiday, Prime Minister. It Won't Last Long.
The UK is the place to be for MAGA bigwigs this summer. President Donald Trump arrives in Scotland later this week to check out his golf courses at Turnberry, Ayrshire and Menie in Aberdeenshire. His Veep JD Vance is due across the pond next month, when he'll vacation in London, Scotland and Oxfordshire. This is no doubt to the chagrin of Ellen DeGeneres, who has confirmed she moved to the UK specifically to get away from the Trump administration and now lives in the Cotswolds, an area of rolling hills described (on its own website) as possessing 'quintessentially English towns and villages of honey-colored stone,' and where the Vance family has rented a property. The prospect of her running into the Vances in a picturesque ye olde tea room or on the lawns of a stately home is now a clear and present danger.

Karl Rove on Trump, Epstein saga: ‘There's hell to pay'
Republican strategist Karl Rove said in a new opinion piece for The Wall Street Journal, 'there's hell to pay' surrounding convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and the saga around the Epstein files. 'Attorney General Pam Bondi, Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino—all members in good standing of MAGA world—said there was no client list of powerful figures in politics, finance and media,' Rove wrote in his Wednesday piece. 'They also confirmed Epstein wasn't killed by a Deep State hit squad at midnight in a federal prison but committed suicide. Many in MAGA reacted with incredulity and anger at Mr. Trump, the attorney general and the FBI leadership. There's hell to pay when those who hyped the conspiracy have closed the books on the case,' he added. Right-wing influencers who had long pushed conspiracy theories about Epstein turned their fury toward the Trump administration, especially Attorney General Pam Bondi, due to a recent Justice Department memo that dispelled many of the theories. Last week, President Trump admonished and sought to distance himself from backers who have pushed for additional information about documents related to Epstein. In a Truth Social post, the president dismissed the uproar due to the Epstein files as a 'scam' pushed by Democrats and suggested he no longer welcomed his supporters who have called for extra transparency around the documents. 'Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this 'bulls‑‑‑,' hook, line, and sinker,' Trump said in his post. 'They haven't learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years.'

Marjorie Taylor Greene blasts Trump over AI environmental impacts
President Donald Trump's push to speed up permitting for data centers could strain water resources and yield 'potentially devastating' consequences for the environment, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said Thursday. In a post on X, Greene criticized the president's recent executive order, 'Accelerating Federal Permitting of Data Center Infrastructure,' for pushing for an expansion of artificial intelligence infrastructure without regard to data centers' high consumption of water. 'My deep concerns are that the EO demands rapid AI expansion with little to no guardrails and breaks,' Greene wrote in the post. Advertisement It's not the first time that Greene, a far-right Republican, has clashed with others in MAGA world over AI policies. She also vocally opposed a provision in the reconciliation bill this year that was ultimately taken out that would have prevented states from regulating AI for 10 years.
