2. The White House responded to a detailed request for comment, but did not provide any evidence Zacharia was licensed to practice law, referring Popular Information back to a Truth Social post where Trump calls her an attorney.
popular.info
Trump’s new press secretary, Katie Zacharia, claims she’s a lawyer. Is she?
There is no evidence Zacharia has ever been licensed to practice law — and the White House did not provide any

Trump is angrier, more erratic, and more dangerous than ever — and those closest to him know it. How close are we to his own cabinet using the 25th Amendment against him? Here's how it might go down.

Excellent news for Republicans in the crucial swing state of Donald Trump's imagination:
Screenshot of a Truth Social post by Donald Trump https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/117418148236895862 dated 10 October 2026, reading as follows.

The Dumocrats, along with their partners in crime, the Fake News Media, are trying to create the false narrative that, Donald Trump is so “unpopular,” the Republicans are going to lose. Actually, it's just the opposite. I'm so “popular,” that the Republicans are going to WIN, and that's being proven by the Record Setting Rallies we're doing (including the one in Tennessee where I'll be in a short while — See you soon!).

A $500,000 mortgage is now $3,500 per month, before taxes and insurance. Home sales are near historic lows and prices are near record highs. We’re now at the point where people who already own homes can’t afford to move, and people who don’t own homes can’t afford to buy.

I am very glad that Bari Weiss won't get to turn CNN into a hate and disinformation outlet. CNN could do a lot of things better (like get rid of the liars seat on its panels) but it remains a national and international treasure, and a particularly essential global resource in times of crisis.

These are Old Testament Christians which is weird since there’s no Christians or even Christianity in the OT. A lot of evangelical churches in my swmo community (over 30) have dropped their denominations and joined NAR, the New Apostolic Reformation, and they are White Christian Nationalists.
