    Trumpie's favorite show "Fox & Friends" says the Trump administration dismantled train regulations after being lobbied by Norfolk Southern. How long until his meltdown and how much ketchup is all over the walls of Mar-a-Lago right now?

  4. Fox News refusing ad featuring their hosts' election lies

    The day after a Fox News host complained on-air that the network is not letting him address the texts and emails between that are part of the legal brief in the $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit filed by Dominion Voting Systems, the network is balking at selling commercial time to a progressive group armed with an ad that features some choice Fox personality quotes from the filing.

    Now Fox doesn't want the topic to be a part of the advertising on their shows.

    Top GOP campaign group invites 2024 prospects to donor retreat — except Trump
    https://www.yahoo.com/news/top-gop-...to-donor-retreat--except-trump-173427186.html

    The Club for Growth, a leading conservative campaign group, will host almost all the top 2024 Republican prospects for president at a donor retreat in South Florida this weekend, except Donald Trump, according to a Republican familiar with the plans.

    Newly minted candidates Nikki Haley, the former U.N. ambassador, and Vivek Ramaswamy, the pharmaceutical magnate turned conservative influencer, will headline the meeting. Top Republicans who have not declared their candidacies but are seriously eyeing bids — including making all the moves of a shadow campaign — are also expected to attend the event, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott and New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu.

    The only declared candidate not attending is former President Donald Trump. Trump, who helped spark the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection with his 2020 election lies and is widely blamed for the GOP’s poor showing in the 2022 midterms, was not invited to the donor retreat, the Republican source told Yahoo News. The retreat is being held in Palm Beach, where Trump lives at his Mar-a-Lago estate.

    The Club for Growth is a long-running conservative group that has played key roles in funneling donor dollars to hard-right candidates. The group, led by former Indiana congressman David McIntosh, has had an off-and-on relationship with Trump.

    In 2022, the group helped Trump select prospects for key Senate races, including Ted Budd, who ended up winning an open North Carolina Senate seat. But the two split over the Ohio Senate primary, and the relationship turned sour again when Trump reportedly told McIntosh, “Go f*** yourself.”

    Trump slammed the organization over the snub on his social media platform earlier this month, calling the group “an assemblage of political misfits, globalists, and losers.”

    Yahoo News reached out to a spokesperson for Trump for comment.

    The group’s annual donor retreat comes as the 2024 field is fast taking shape for Republicans. DeSantis, who remains the top contender against Trump should he jump in, hosted Republican donors — including a number of former Trump donors — at a retreat this past weekend.

    Trump, who has been slowly getting out on the campaign trail since launching his third White House bid in November, is set to headline the latest Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington later this week.

    No more Koch money for Trump or anyone who supports him.

    Did Donald Trump break the Koch machine for good?
    https://www.semafor.com/article/03/21/2023/did-donald-trump-break-the-koch-machine-for-good

    The Koch family cannonballed into the 2024 conversation last month with a plan for its flagship political group, Americans for Prosperity, “to turn the page” and “write a new chapter for our country” in the Republican primaries.


    Everyone in politics understood what they meant: A massive, high-profile investment in ditching Donald Trump, who was not mentioned in a memo announcing their intentions. Sources told Semafor they were pledging $75 million to the effort. (An AFP official did not confirm the exact number, but said the group intended to raise and spend much more.)

    For AFP, it marked a return to high-stakes national political spending after a period in which the Koch network experimented with more bipartisan causes while tagging along with other groups in the midterm races.

    But in interviews with former staffers and allies within the Koch network, many saw the effort as more of a last gasp than a rebirth. In their eyes, a machine that once rivaled the RNC in influence during its tea party heyday has been relegated to the sidelines as the GOP continues to shift away from its positions on immigration, free markets, and criminal justice reform. One of the iconic “Koch Brothers,” David, died in 2019, and some question whether AFP will survive at all after its remaining family founder, Charles Koch, retires or passes on.

    “I really think they lost focus. They lost drive. It wasn’t clear anymore what they wanted to achieve,” said Frayda Levin, a former AFP board member and founder of its now-inactive New Jersey chapter, and a member of Club for Growth’s board. “I really wonder what their mailing list is these days. My sense is that there’s not a whole lot of energy, that they’re trying to recreate something that isn’t there.”
