Thousands have swooned over this MAGA dream girl. She’s made with AI.
Jessica Foster’s posts place her beside fighter jets, world leaders and Trump iconography. Experts say her rise shows how AI-generated women can capture attention.

When Trump does or says something offensive and outrageous -- "piggy," for instance -- it's important to pay attention to the headline he's trying to bury.

Previous generations fought fascism in nearly every corner of the earth. Today it’s on our streets, silencing opposition and attempting to control the airwaves. The GOP has declared all out war on free speech. It’s up to us to fight for it.

Trumps says he is declaring antifa a terrorist organization. Also will prosecute anyone who gave money. Looks like Charlie Kirk is Trump's Reichstag.

All the rhetoric regarding Charlie Kirk's murder -- one post dubbed the Democratic Party a terrorist group, another called for war -- makes me think the killer hopes to spark a civil war.

Trump wants a new plane. Now, so does Homeland Security Secretary Noem.
