MAGA base largely ‘supports' Trump's strikes against Iran
'I would be surprised if many day-to-day Trump voters were anything but supportive of this,' Mr Polumbo said.
'But some ideologically committed and consistent MAGA voices are criticising Trump along those lines because they had the same criticism for past presidents.'

Trump hilariously unleashes on Late Night ‘morons' after Colbert's cancellation
US President Donald Trump has hilariously responded to the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Colbert, a fixture in late-night television, hosting such shows as The Colbert Report and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, abruptly announced that his show would end in 2026. CBS has cited 'financial reasons' for the cancellation of Colbert's show despite his top ratings and high viewership. Some people believe it was Colbert's political stance against Trump that led to his show's cancellation. President Trump was quick to join those celebrating, posting to Truth Social where he roasted Colbert and other late-night hosts, including Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon. 'I absolutely love that Colbert got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings,' Trump said. The cancellation of Colbert's show has received mixed responses, with some people shocked and disheartened, while others celebrate. 'I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert! Greg Gutfeld is better than all of them combined, including the Moron on NBC who ruined the once great Tonight Show.'

US and European markets ‘baulk' at higher rate of tariffs on EU imports
CommSec's Tom Piotrowski discusses how the markets are reacting to the Trump administration's higher rate of tariffs on European imports. 'He [Trump] proposed a higher rate of tariff on European imports, relative to where the markets settled on the thinking,' Mr Piotrowski told Sky News Australia. 'So, a universal tariff in the order of 15 to 20 per cent and that just had the markets baulk a little bit in Europe and the US. 'You saw pretty flat outcomes for Wall Street on Friday.' Presented by CommSec.

Tulsi Gabbard details bombshell claims of Obama-era cabal's 'treasonous conspiracy' against Donald Trump
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard detailed "striking" findings from declassified documents released Friday, claiming to showcase "overwhelming evidence" that an Obama-era cabal laid the groundwork for what would be the years-long Trump-Russia collusion probe after the 2016 election. "The implications of this are frankly nothing short of historic," Gabbard said on this week's "Sunday Morning Futures." "Over 100 documents that we released on Friday really detail and provide evidence of how this treasonous conspiracy was directed by President Obama just weeks before he was due to leave office after President Trump had already gotten elected. This is not a Democrat or Republican issue. This is an issue that is so serious it should concern every single American because it has to do with the integrity of our democratic republic," she continued. Documents shared by Gabbard's office claimed that before the 2016 election, there was no evidence showing Russia tried to directly alter vote counts. However, members of the intelligence community later suggested that Russian President Vladimir Putin wanted to help Trump win. Gabbard argues the narrative shift was politically motivated rather than based on new findings. "Creating this piece of manufactured intelligence that claims that Russia had helped Donald Trump get elected contradicted every other assessment that had been made previously in the months leading up to the election that said exactly the opposite, that Russia had neither the intent nor the capability to try to 'hack the United States election,'" Gabbard told host Maria Bartiromo. "So the effect of what President Obama and his senior national security team did was subvert the will of the American people, undermining our democratic republic and enacting what would be essentially a years-long coup against President Trump, who was duly elected by the American people." Evidence released by Gabbard's office implicated then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former CIA Director John Brennan, former FBI Director James Comey and former National Security Adviser Susan Rice, among others, in addition to the former president. Gabbard confirmed her intent to send all the uncovered documents to the Department of Justice and the FBI for a criminal referral. When asked if she expects to see prosecutions, she vowed to do "all that [she] can" to ensure accountability. "We have whistleblowers, actually, coming forward now after we released these documents because there are people who were around, who were working within the intelligence community at this time who were so disgusted by what happened," she shared. "We're starting to see some of them come out of the woodwork here because they… want to see justice delivered… there must be indictments. Those responsible, no matter how powerful they are and were at that time, no matter who was involved in creating this treasonous conspiracy against the American people, they all must be held accountable." Some Democrats, including Rep. Jim Himes of Connecticut, who is the top member of his party on the House Intelligence Committee, have criticized Gabbard's claims as "baseless." Fox News Digital previously reached out to Obama, representatives for the former president, Clapper, Comey, Brennan, Rice, Lynch and McCabe for comment and did not receive a response.
