ELIJAH NOUVELAGE / Donald Trump / Marjorie Taylor Green
The MAGA wall, which seemed impervious, is starting to crack, and it’s all thanks to Republicans not siding with Donald Trump regarding the release of the Epstein files.
In one of his latest Truth Social rants, Donald Trump snatched back his endorsement of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, one of his most staunch and loudest allies, even going as far as to personally attack her because she is one of four Republicans in the House of Representatives in support of the release of the Epstein files.
Trump’s social media attacks on Green are significant as they highlight a political breakup no one had on their bingo cards, and signal that Trump could be losing his grip on the Republican party, because it seems protecting pedophiles is a bridge too far for them.
They still have no issues pushing racist policies, but that’s a whole other argument.
The Back & Forth No One Saw Coming
Trump and Greene have been going back and forth on social media after she has openly criticized her Orange Lord and Savior on several issues, like his labeling the Epstein case a hoax, and his focus on foreign policy instead of his “America first” agenda.
“I am withdrawing my support and Endorsement of ‘Congresswoman’ Marjorie Taylor Greene,” Trump said in a Truth Social post, while adding that Greene, who is up for reelection in 2026, has “gone Far Left.”
He continued, “She has told many people that she is upset that I don’t return her phone calls anymore, but with 219 Congressmen/women, 53 U.S. Senators, 24 Cabinet Members, almost 200 Countries, and an otherwise normal life to lead, I can’t take a ranting Lunatic’s call every day.”
Marjorie Taylor Green Responds
Greene has clapped back on her social media accounts, while at the same time still trying to show that she is a fan of Orange Mussolini, writing on her X account:
“This and the Epstein files is why I’m being attacked by President Trump. It really makes you wonder what is in those files and who and what country is putting so much pressure on him? I forgive him and I will pray for him to return to his original MAGA promises.”
Welp.
As you can imagine, social media, particularly those on the left, who are no fans of either of these individuals, have been seated for the drama and are loving every minute of it.

As more revelations about the Epstein Files and Donald Trump’s closeness to the disgraced financier and convicted sex trafficker surface, journalist Michael Wolff decided to share even more details, and spoiler alert, it doesn’t make Trump look good.
Michael Wolff revealed after his emails with Epstein were released that he advised the convicted sex trafficker on how to manipulate the then-presidential candidate.
In the 2015 email, Epstein wonders what Trump would say if asked about their relationship during the presidential debate.
“I think you should let him hang himself. If he says he hasn’t been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable PR and political currency,” Wolff told Epstein.
“You can hang him in a way that potentially generates a positive benefit for you, or, if it really looks like he could win, you could save him, generating a debt,” Wolff continued. “Of course, it is possible that, when asked, he’ll say Jeffrey is a great guy and has gotten a raw deal and is a victim of political correctness, which is to be outlawed in a Trump regime.”
Michael Wolff Hopped On Instagram With Receipts
Wolff hopped on Instagram to further speak on Trump’s relationship with Epstein while also trying to tiptoe around the ethical issues that came with working with Epstein.
“This morning, the House Oversight Committee released emails directly linking Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein,” and that “some of those emails are between Epstein and me, with Epstein discussing his relationship with Donald Trump,” began in his video.
He claimed that he has “been trying to talk about this story for a very long time now,” while indicating the recently released emails are an indication that “this is, well, perhaps we’re getting close to the smoking gun.”
He continued by adding that Trump and Epstein,” had the closest of relationships for more than a decade” and “shared everything,” from women, financial advice, and even airplanes.
“You know, it’s curious that Epstein’s relationship with so many people in public life has damaged them considerably, but the one person who he was closest to has not been held accountable. That’s Donald Trump.”
Well damn.
As of right now, Trump and his White House are in panic mode as more emails continue to drop. Trump has even gone from claiming the Epstein investigation is a government hoax to now urging Pam Bondi and his highly partisan DOJ to investigate Democrats like Bill Clinton’s involvement with Epstein to save face.
Not sure how that will work out for Trump, but you can see more reactions to his crashout below.

Right-wing media personality Megyn Kelly is facing backlash after her defense of the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, claiming that he was possibly “not a pedophile.”
“I do know somebody very, very close to this case who is in a position to know virtually everything,” Kelly said on the most recent episode of her podcast. “And this person has told me from the start, years and years ago, that Jeffrey Epstein, in this person’s view, was not a pedophile.”
She went on to add, “”This is this person’s view, who was there for a lot of this, but that he was into the barely legal type. Like, he liked 15-year-old girls. Like, he liked 15-year-old girls. I’m just giving you facts that he wasn’t into, like, 8-year-olds. But he liked the very young teen types that could pass for even younger than they were, but would look legal to a passerby.”
Epstein was found guilty of soliciting a minor for prostitution in Florida in 2008, and was awaiting trial after being charged with trafficking and conspiracy to traffic minors for sex in New York in 2019 before dying of an apparent suicide in his cell.
Kelly would double down, proclaiming that she had difficulty believing Attorney General Pam Bondi. “For the first time, I thought, oh, no, he was an actual pedophile,” Kelly said. “I don’t know whether it’s true. I have to be honest, I don’t really trust Pam Bondi’s word on the Epstein matters anymore.”
The comments drew sharp criticism, with observers noting that Kelly might’ve seriously damaged her career. “This is career-ending for Megyn Kelly,” Democratic strategist Ally Sammarco said to The Daily Beast. “Fifteen-year-olds are CHILDREN. They can’t drive. They can’t see rated R movies. But disgusting 50-year-old men should be allowed to rape them? Goodbye. Forever.”
Others called it another sign that supporters of President Donald Trump (who has become more prominent in recent releases from the Epstein files) are willing to even defend child sex abuse. Journalist Sarah Spain wrote in a post on BlueSky: These people will literally go on tv essentially defending a grown man sleeping with 15 year-olds (rape, FYI!) in service of a political allegiance. At this point how can anyone say this isn’t a cult?”

At this point, it’s no secret that ICE’s main objective is to purge the United States of brown-skinned men, women and children. Regardless of citizen status, many green card-holding migrants have gotten swept up in Donald Trump and Stephen Miller’s ethnic alleged cleansing of America.
Now with the Supreme Court giving ICE agents the green light to racially profile citizens in said operation, even Native Americans are seemingly fair game to be deported. ICE nearly deported a member of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community in Arizona for looking like a Latina.
According to Newsweek, 24-year-old Leticia Jacobo became the latest Native American to find themselves under the scrutiny of ICE agents for appearing to be a Latina, but in this particular case, she was detained and almost deported after being arrested in Polk County Jail in Des Moines, Iowa, where she currently lives. It wasn’t until her mother provided her birth certificate proving that she was born in Arizona that Jacobo was ultimately released by “authorities.”
Newsweek reports:

Polk County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Mark Chance told the Arizona Mirror that the ICE detainer was issued in error, explaining that it had been intended for a different person booked at the jail at the same time but was incorrectly assigned to Jacobo’s records, the Arizona Mirror reported.
Polk County Jail participates in the 287(g) program with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which allows certain local police officers and sheriff’s deputies to carry out specific immigration enforcement tasks in coordination with ICE. Deputies trained under the program can verify citizenship status, compare biographic information against federal databases, and prepare immigration-related paperwork. They can also issue ICE detainers, which permit a person in custody to be held for up to 48 hours beyond their scheduled release so ICE can take custody. The program is intended to support federal immigration enforcement by providing additional local resources.
Jacobo’s aunt told the Arizona Mirror that her niece had been subjected to discrimination, at least to some degree, noting that Jacobo had previously been booked at the same facility and that her tribal membership was clearly documented.
And MAGA supporters still insist that the ICE raids aren’t about race.
“I do want to say that it’s racial profiling because she’s been there before, they have a rap sheet on her—why would they make a mistake with someone that’s constantly coming in?” Maria Nunez, Burns’ sister, told the outlet.
Naturally, Jacobo’s family is weighing legal action, but with the way that this current Trump administration defends the illegal actions that ICE takes to carry out what many feel is a fascist agenda, justice for the hundreds of American citizens and migrants who have a bone to pick with ICE may take a long while.

Tory Lanez is not getting out of jail.
On Wednesday (Nov. 12), the California Court of Appeals affirmed Lanez’s conviction and 10-year sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion, legal affairs journalist Meghann Cuniff shared on social media.
The news is the latest legal setback for Canadian Yosemite Sam and his stans, who thought he had a chance to get out of prison.
The decision comes after Thee Stallion’s attorney, Alex Spiro, dropped a 31-page report in May, slamming Lanez’s team and his supporters for trying to undermine the conviction.
In a statement shared by Rolling Stone, Spiro said:
Despite Mr. Lanez being convicted at trial by overwhelming evidence (that included his own admission of his guilt), he and his team—flanked by any ignorant person they can find—have pushed whatever misleading narrative they can.
One by one, their misleading statements unravel, and all that is left is the simple truth: he was convicted by overwhelming evidence, and those who seek to traumatize the victim of the crime should be called out as foolish bullies.
The report also shared that Ring camera footage and DNA evidence on the gun indicated it was a 90 percent likelihood that it was a male who fired the weapon.
Tory Lanez Other Ls He Has Suffered In Court
This also follows a previous legal loss the “Say It” crafter endured in court after unsuccessfully trying to avoid testifying in a related civil case.
Lanez was ordered to be deposed again in Megan Thee Stallion’s civil suit against gossip blogger Milagro Gramz (Milagro Cooper), whom she accused of spreading lies about the shooting and the trial while being paid by the Canadian artist.
Those who support Megan Thee Stallion and have no love for anyone who attacks Black women have been clowning Lanez on social media.
Welp, they can’t blame Roc Nation for this one. You can see more reactions below.
As per Newsweek, the Almighty Latin King and Queen Nation is allegedly ready to respond to federal immigration tactics in Chicago with violence. According to Customs And Border Patrol (CBP), the threat obtained by an undisclosed intelligence operation was later shared internally with agents.
“Officer/agents are reminded to maintain heightened situational awareness and exercise extreme caution when conducting enforcement activities,” the memo obtained by News Nation reads.
The internal bulletin was shared after agents were shot at while performing immigration enforcement operations in the neighborhood of Little Village. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) also confirmed that a paint can and bricks were thrown at a federal vehicle used in the sting. A representative for DHS made it clear that operating in Chicago has come with conflict.
“Nearly everyday we have seen violence, assaults, or smears against our officers in Chicago, including yesterday when agents’ vehicles were rammed multiple times and shots were fired at them,” the spokesperson stated.
This isn’t the first time federal immigration officers have faced violence. Last week, an ICE officer was injured in Houston by a detainee who threw a metal coffee cup at them. The agent suffered burns to the face and a laceration that required 13 stitches. The incident highlights the growing risks facing immigration officers nationwide.

On Sunday evening (November 9), the Senate voted in the first step towards ending the federal government shutdown, and Democrats have been feeling the brunt of the public’s disbelief. Seven senators, along with an independent senator, agreed to have the vote, and many expressed their anger and disappointment in social media posts once the news broke of the deal.
The vote was 60-40, with moderate Democrat Senators – Dick Durbin of Illinois, Tim Kaine of Virginia, Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire, Cathleen Cortez-Masto of New Mexico, Jacky Rosen of Nevada, and John Fetterman of Pennsylvania. Independent Senator Angus King of Maine joined with the Democrats in voting on the continuing resolution.
They agreed to vote with Republicans on the funding package to reopen the government, securing a promise to vote on extending subsidies for the Affordable Care Act in December, which the GOP didn’t initially want. The subsidies reduce the costs for those enrolling, and if taken away, 4 million would lose health insurance, and 22 million more would see their premiums double.
The final version of the bill extends funding of the government to January 2026. The bill is expected to be passed in the GOP-majority House of Representatives, despite House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and the other Democrats saying they will all vote no on it.

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer was a “no” vote, but has been the prime source of scorn by the public, who felt that the eight votes by Democrats were a betrayal after their holding fast during the 41 days of the shutdown. Independent Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont called the concession “an empty gesture.” Paul Thompson ripped Schumer’s tendency to issue dry motivational social media posts in his own post on BlueSky.
The public’s frustration could be summed up in a post on X, formerly Twitter, by a user named Old Man Lefty: “We just had the most successful protests against a sitting president in history. We swept an off year election. Republicans were being blamed for the shutdown, and the ACA is damn near as popular as God. With all that momentum, why did 8 Democrats just punch us in the gut?”
In an interview with MSNBC’s Kris Jansing on Tuesday (November 11), Arizona Senator Mark Kelly signaled that discussions about replacing Schumer are indeed happening in the Senate.
ADAM GRAY / Donald Trump / Rudy Giuliani
Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans are currently complaining about Joe Biden’s alleged“abuse” of the autopen, but it’s all good that he continues to issue pardons to absolutely despicable people.
Late Sunday, Ed Martin, the pardon attorney in Donald Trump’s administration, released a list of 75 people who received pardons from Trump. On it, Rudy Giuliani is one of the names that stood out, along with other loyal MAGA folks who tried to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
Deadline reports the pardons apply to “conduct relating to the advice, creation, organization, execution, submission, support, voting, activities, participation in, or advocacy for or of any slate or proposed slate of Presidential electors, whether or not recognized by any state or state official, in connection with the 2020 presidential election, as well for conduct relating to their efforts to expose voting fraid and vulnerabilities in the 2020 Presidential Election.”
Along with his right-hand man in corruption, Rudy Giuliani, other names on that list include: Sidney Powell, Boris Epshteyn, Mark Meadows, Christina Bobb, Kenneth Chesebro, Jeffrey Clark, John Eastman, and Jenna Ellis.
A good number of the people on that list tried and failed to present a list of alternate electors to Congress in a heada** attempt to overturn Joe Biden’s electoral victory.
No one on the list was charged with federal crimes, but pardons would prevent future federal indictments.
The pardons do not cancel out charges brought at the state level.
Social media is not shocked, but still disgusted at Trump’s continued push of an outright lie, and letting every person who tried to subvert the results of the 2020 election and nullify former President Joe Biden’s victory.

French Montana / Max B
After spending nearly a decade behind bars, the Wave God, aka Max B, is finally a free man.
Harlem rapper Max B, born Charley Wingate, has finally been released from prison.
The emotional moment of him breathing in fresh air as a free man was captured by his Coke Wave collaborator and longtime friend, French Montana. It also happened to be the “Shot Caller” crafter’s birthday.
In a video post shared on Instagram, Montana wrote in the caption:
“CANT MAKE THIS UP ! MY BROTHER REALLY CAME HOME ON MY B DAY ! HAMDULILLAH 🤲🏼WALKED IT DOWN ! NO MORE FREE YOU.”
Max Biggaveli was initially sentenced in 2009 to serve 75 years behind bars for his alleged role in a deadly botched robbery attempt.
Wavy Crockett’s conviction was vacated in 2016, and he struck a plea deal that reduced his charge to aggravated manslaughter and reduced his prison sentence.
The rapper has been giving hope to fans who wanted to see the wave free again, going as far as to hint at a possible release date during a phone interview on The Joe Budden Podcast.
“We got a date! I’ve got November 9, 2025, baby!” It looks like he was speaking the truth because that’s precisely when he stepped out of Northern State Prison.
Fans have been reacting to the good news as well. You can see those reactions below.
Noam Galai / Jeremy Renner
Hawkeye, aka Jeremy Renner, allegedly out here being a full creep and a racist? According to one Chinese filmmaker, that is 100% the case.
Chinese filmmaker Yi Zhou, who claimed she has worked with the Marvel’s Avengers star on a documentary, Chronicles of Disney, and an animated film, accused the 54-year-old actor in a series of Instagram posts of sending her “a string of unwanted/unsolicited pornographic images of himself” in DMs and WhatsApp in June.
When Zhou confronted Renner about the alleged creepy behavior, he allegedly “threatened to call immigration/ICE” on her.
Jeremy Renner Denies The Allegations
PEOPLE reports that Renner is vehemently denying those claims through a statement from his attorney, Marty Singer, and accuses Zhou of essentially lashing out at him after a “brief consensual encounter,” ignoring her sexual advances, and not promoting her projects.
Per PEOPLE:
“The allegations are totally inaccurate and untrue,” a rep for Renner said.
In a statement to PEOPLE on Friday, Nov. 7, Renner’s attorney Marty Singer vehemently denied Zhou’s claims, calling them “false, outrageous, and highly defamatory.” Singer alleges Zhou is retaliating against Renner after the actor “rejected her romantic advances” and did not promote her projects on social media.
Singer claims Renner met Zhou once in July when they met at a hotel in Reno, Nev., where Renner was interviewed for Zhou’s documentary and says the two shared a “brief consensual encounter.” The two then met a second time in August, and Renner hasn’t spoken to her in over a month, Singer said, adding that the actor has ignored her alleged “sexually explicit messages expressing her love.” Her most recent message was allegedly sent on Oct. 24.
Addressing Zhou’s allegations that Renner threatened to call ICE on her, Singer alleges Zhou “had been relentlessly harassing and threatening my client with hundreds of unsolicited and unwanted messages.”
It’s going to be really interesting to see how Disney approaches this matter. The company has an extreme zero-tolerance policy and has let go of actors for less.
You can see what the social media streets are saying about Renner’s alleged behavior below.
