Michael Steele Issues Ominous Alert For ALL Republicans: ‘Trust Me, Baby'
Michael Steele, a former chair of the Republican National Committee, issued a stark warning Tuesday about Donald Trump's agenda, cautioning that even the president's supporters aren't safe. Speaking on MSNBC, where he is now a host, Steele urged all Americans to take Trump at his word, particularly following his remarks that some U.S. citizens could be stripped of their nationality and deported for certain crimes, including those actually born in the country. 'I don't even know why people at this point act like this is not the plan,' said Steele, who led the RNC from 2009 to 2011 and has since become one of Trump's most outspoken conservative critics. 'I mean, it's a slow ― and it's not that slow, actually ― process to get to where we are. It's been step by step. It's been layered. It has been articulated very clearly. It is Project 2025. We told y'all that. We directed you to the document. So there's no surprise here,' he continued. 'America, you're next. Citizens in neighborhoods and communities ― you're next,' Steele cautioned. And he had a further warning for 'all you little Republicans who think you're not on the list.' 'Trust me, baby, you're on the list,' he said. 'You're on the list. Because that's the way this authoritarian thing happens.' 'They use you, they punk you. They get you to do their bidding. And as we've just seen play out with Elon Musk, they flip the script,' he said, referring to the spectacular fall from grace in Trumpworld of his onetime ally and donor, the world's richest person. Trump this week has talked about looking at deporting Musk. 'I mean, come on, guys. I don't know what people expect here. The blinders—this is coming at us,' Steele added. 'It's at me. It's coming. It's everybody in this country. Babies that have not been born yet. Babies that have not been born yet, whose mothers don't know whether or not, if their child is born in state X, that child is a U.S. citizen.'

MSNBC host erupts on air over SCOTUS birthright citizenship ruling
MSNBC host Symone Sanders Townsend gave an unhinged reaction to the Supreme Court's birthright citizenship decision handed down on Friday. Sanders is a Co-Host of MSNBC's The Weeknight, and a Former Chief Spokesperson for Vice President Harris - and wasted no time calling the ruling 'insane.' She slammed her hands on the table during the heated discussion - shaking her arms in the air and rolling her head as she kicked off over the SCOTUS decision. 'I just don't, I can't believe that we are asking the question, 'is the 14th Amendment to the Constitution constitutional?' That is what, it is crazy. And I am sorry, but people need to call, 'this is crazy,' Sanders Townsend stated on air. 'They are asking us… They're asking us not to believe our own eyes and our own ears. They're asking us to go against everything that we know to be true. This is insane,' Sanders Townsend added. Another one of her co-hosts, former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele, responded to Sanders Townsend, noting that 'Trump and and his minions inside the government been very effective at setting to stair steps to the various narratives that they want to get accomplished.' The court ruled 6-3 Friday in favor of Trump to end the practice of stalling his Executive Orders and agenda. The ruling allows Trump's executive order halting birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants to take effect in states and jurisdictions that did not directly challenge his action in court. It could mean citizenship rules vary from state to state, pending ongoing litigation. While all six conservative justices - including the three he appointed - sided with the president, three people dissented the historic ruling. When the decision was made Friday, a fiery dispute broke out between two of America's most powerful judges. The justices' secret personal feuds have seemingly become so fraught that they are counting down the days until the SCOTUS summer recess - which will be a welcome respite from both work and colleagues, according to Chief Justice John Roberts. This week, the court's liberal wing erupted in spectacular fashion against the six-judge conservative alliance during the biggest ruling of the year thus far. Trump appointee Justice Amy Coney Barrett (pictured), 53, ripped into liberal dissenter Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's arguments in her 6-3 majority opinion in a major birthright citizenship case. Writing for the conservative majority of the court, Barrett hit back at both Jackson and fellow Justice Sonia Sotomayor who dissented. Barrett's scorched earth reply took aim at Jackson mostly, spending 900 words to repeatedly rip into the Biden appointee and the court's most junior member. Jackson went on to describe the decision as an 'existential threat to the rule of law.' Speaking at the White House after his victory, Trump said: 'This was a big one. Amazing decision, one we're very happy about. This really brings back the Constitution. This is what it's all about.' Basking in his victory during an impromptu appearance in the White House briefing room, the president vowed to push through 'many' more of his policies after the court win, including curbs to birthright citizenship. The president said he would 'promptly file' to advance policies that have previously been blocked by judges. Attorney General Pam Bondi (pictured) said the ruling meant 'not one district court judge can think they're an emperor over this administration and his executive powers, and why the people of the United States elected him.'

Today we're looking Madrid How did they qualify for the Club World Cup? 📸 Ryan Pierse - 2024 Getty Images Real Madrid qualified for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup by winning the 2024 UEFA Champions League. Los Blancos overcame Borussia Dortmund this time last year with a 2-0 win at Wembley. History at the Club World Cup 📸 Michael Steele - 2023 Getty Images Advertisement Historically, Real Madrid have been the most successful side in the Club World Cup, securing five titles. All of those five titles have come in the past 11 years with the most recent being in 2022. How did they perform in the 2024/25 season? It was a tough season for Real Madrid with Barcelona winning LaLiga and Arsenal dumping them out of the Champions League. This summer's tournament is now their only chance of landing some silverware. Who is the coach? 📸 Angel Martinez - 2025 Getty Images Xabi Alonso has replaced Carlo Ancelotti and will be leading his new side for the first time in the United States.

Who is their star player? In a team full of stars, Kylian Mbappé is currently the number one star for Real Madrid. Since joining in 2024, he has been instrumental in the team's success, including scoring in both the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup. Expected performance at the Club World Cup The Spanish giants will be rightly considered one of the favourites for the trophy and anything other than ultimate glory come July will be seen as a disappointment for Real Madrid. 📸 MAHMUD HAMS - AFP or licensors

Hitman who carried out one of UK's most infamous gangland murders released from prison
The Essex Boys killer Michael Steele is now 82 years old Michael Steele has been released from prison (Handout/PA) A hitman who carried out on of the UK's most infamous gangland murders has been released from prison. Michael Steele was jailed for life after he was found guilty of the murder of 'Essex Boys' Tony Tucker (38), Pat Tate (37) and Craig Rolfe (26). The three drug dealers were shot by Steele and his accomplice, Jack Whomes, as they sat in a parked Range Rover in Rettendon, Essex in 1995. Michael Steele has been released from prison (Handout/PA) News in 90 Seconds - 3rd June 2025 After spending 27 years behind bars, Steele has walked free following a parole board decision. In Feburary, they ruled that his imprisonment was 'was 'no longer necessary for the protection of the public.' However, his release was stalled when Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood branded the decision 'legally irrational' and called on the board to reconsider allowing the triple murderer to walk free. Following a 'through risk assessment', they moved forward with their decision to release Steele. 'Mr Steele had offended for financial gain and out of greed,' their decision reads. 'He had sought to maintain a level of status or respect from others by exerting power. There had also been an element of thrill-seeking in his actions.' They noted his behaviour in prison had improved, and a psychologist said his risk of release was 'minimal.' Steele, who has maintained his innocence since his conviction, will be on licence for the rest of his life, and subject to strict conditions as well as intensive probation supervision. Pat Tate, Tony Tucker and Craig Rolfe were shot dead in a 1995 triple gangland killing which came to be known as the 'Essex Boys' murders (Essex Police/PA) He is required to surrender his passport and is forbidden from owning a boat, airplane or firearm. He is also required to live at a designated address. If he breaks any of the conditions, he will find himself back behind bars. 'Our thoughts remain with the family and friends of Craig Rolfe, Tony Tucker and Pat Tate,' a spokesperson for the Ministry for Justice told BBC. 'This decision was made by the independent Parole Board after a thorough risk assessment. 'Michael Steele will be on licence for the rest of his life, with strict conditions and intensive probation supervision. He faces an immediate return to prison if he breaks the rules.' The case has been the subject of numerous films such as 'Essex Boys', 'Bonded by Blood', and the seven-part film franchise 'Rise of the Footsoldier'. Sky released a three-part documentary about the slayings in 2023.
