“I wish I had never supported him”: MTG fires back after Trump’s attack on “MAGA losers”

“I wish I had never supported him”: MTG fires back after Trump’s attack on “MAGA losers”

Published by Sam Flores

Marjorie Taylor Greene, the former Georgia congresswoman, issued a blistering response Saturday morning after Donald Trump attacked her, Tucker Carlson and Thomas Massie as “LOSERS ALL” in a late-night Truth Social post. But Greene went considerably further than returning Trump’s insults, arguing that the president has abandoned the “America First” movement that once united them. “We never changed, Trump did,” Greene wrote. I wonder if it was being called a traitor at his own rally yesterday that caused him to dictate his lies and insult laden attack on Tucker, Thomas, and I, while he flew back on the plane.It’s also the bad polling that I’m sure he’s seen by now. He attacks us with such vitriol… pic.twitter.com/tM9e7PqTg0 — Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 (@FmrRepMTG) August 22, 2026 Greene accused Trump of becoming a “neocon puppet for Israel, corporations, big donors with special interests,” while pointing to their disagreements over foreign wars and the release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein. She also defended Carlson as “a serious Presidential contender,” arguing that young men who once …

In this third part in our series on how the UK has changed in the past 25 years, we turn to demographics, immigration, social attitudes and LGBTQ+ lives. Demographics Athina Vlachantoni, professor of gerontology and social policy, University of Southampton Jane Falkingham, professor of demography and international social policy, University of Southampton Maria Evandrou, professor of gerontology, University of Southampton The UK population grew in size from just under 59 million in 2000 to 69.5 million in 2025, and is now projected to reach 71 million by 2034. Contrast this with sharp population declines in eastern and southern Europe that prompted a European parliament resolution in 2021 on reversing demographic trends in EU regions. The UK’s population growth reflects recent trends in the three drivers of population change – fertility, mortality and migration – which have implications for future generations and the country as a whole. The UK population is ageing The 2001 UK census showed that around 16% of the population (9.5 million people) were 65 and over, while just under 2% or 1.1 …

Rick and Morty fans rip White House’s AI parody: ‘Rick would think you guys are huge losers’

Rick and Morty fans rip White House’s AI parody: ‘Rick would think you guys are huge losers’

Get the latest entertainment news, reviews and star-studded interviews with our Independent Culture email Get the latest entertainment news with our free Culture newsletter Get the latest entertainment news with our free Culture newsletter Rick and Morty fans have mocked the White House for posting a bizarre parody video inspired by the show starring the cartoon likenesses of Donald Trump and JD Vance. The 36-second clip was posted on social media site X with the caption “Hop in… best dimension yet.” It spoofs the cult Adult Swim cartoon’s opening title sequence, with Trump standing in for the cantankerous scientist Rick and Vance for the impressionable sidekick Morty. Other X users quickly made fun of the post in response, with one writing: “Rick would think you guys are huge f***in losers fyi.” Another wrote: “I know it’s all become background noise but the official White House account posting an AI Rick and Morty parody just really feels like new lows in having no shame, abjectly pathetic and pure uncut Reddit at the same time – not …

Politics Home | The Winners And Losers In Andy Burnham’s First Set Of Ministerial Appointments

Published by Sam Flores

Prime Minister Andy Burnham arrives to host his first Cabinet meeting at 10 Downing Street, 21 July 2026 (PA Images / Alamy) 10 min read2 hr Andy Burnham has delighted many of his supporters and largely dismayed Starmerites with the Cabinet and wider frontbench appointments made in his first week as Prime Minister. Friends and supporters of Burnham have secured top jobs over recent days, while those closest to Keir Starmer have been jettisoned. “When you take the lid off Labour factionalism, you can’t put it back on. They are storing up problems for the future,” warned one Starmer loyalist source. “This is far from a clean slate.” Defenders of Burnham’s approach to ministerial appointments have stressed that he sold himself as a departure from the last leadership, which inevitably means making significant changes to the team. They also point out that the retention of Emma Reynolds and Pat McFadden, among others, shows the Prime Minister has not shunned the Labour right. Below Cabinet level, in the hires announced later in …

Wait, is Thomas Tuchel hot? That seems to be the key question for thousands of women across the U.K. this past week, with sports journalists happening upon a particular Mumsnet thread reading: “Am I being unreasonable… to find Thomas Tuchel attractive?” Granted, some comments underneath are gloriously maternal — a masterclass in gentle yet scathing smackdowns: “You need to lie down and drink some water. My diagnosis is sunstroke. It’s clearly affected your thought processes.” Others, however, appear euphoric to have had this guilty pleasure publicly validated: “He has a certain wiry, athletic, long-limbed vibe to him,” writes one. “So pretty,” says another. The words “malnourished vagrant” come up, but so does “vampire,” and we all know how magnetic they are. The blushing mums of Mumsnet should get on TikTok: there, hundreds of fancam edits of the England coach have accrued tens of thousands of likes. “Guys, I’m gonna be real, I think I’m attracted to Thomas Tuchel,” says a young woman named Mimi. “It’s just the energy he has.” A chorus below the video sings …

In the run-up to Saturday night’s match, social media was awash with excavated video clips and montages celebrating the longstanding bond between the two star players, who first met back when they were youngsters starting out at the German club Borussia Dortmund. And before they took to the pitch, the duo shared a jokey greeting, with Bellingham planting a playful kick on Haaland’s back as the two teams filed out from the tunnel – worlds away from the frowny machismo that often tends to come out in the moments before a match. The bromance …

The World Cup is about money. Sure, it’s about national pride and ridiculous dances and sometimes even soccer. But really it’s about money.  Money and monied brands and money people who are trying to monetize things. FIFA projects it will generate $9 billion from this World Cup year, while one study estimates the tournament overall for the three host countries will generate $41 billion in GDP, which is higher than the GDP of three countries still competing in the World Cup (don’t think too hard about that one). Beyond the obvious haul of each country’s soccer federation ($22 million-$63 million depending on stage reached) and the players (a lot smaller than that despite the artistry of the Pulisics and Messis and Mbappes of the world), who is benefitting from this financially? Not just with literal finances, but in reputation and other ways you can cash in. When more than 4.6 million people attend games in person and when an average of more than ten million people are watching each game in the U.S. alone, you have some big opportunities when you affiliate with the World Cup — whether you’re …

Commentary: The biggest losers from Trump’s tariffs? Americans

Commentary: The biggest losers from Trump’s tariffs? Americans

Published by Sam Flores

The federal government took in roughly US$175 billion from tariffs instituted under the International Emergency Economic Policy Powers Act before the Supreme court ruled in February that the statute doesn’t allow the executive branch to unilaterally impose tariffs. The money collected is now being refunded. Undeterred, the White House imposed temporary tariffs under a different statute while it explores other avenues to keep the levies in place – unless Congress finally demands a say in how trade policy is conducted, as is its right. As Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney suggested at the Economic Club of New York last week, only by working closer with his allies – rather than treating them as foes – will Trump succeed in “making America great again”. “Examples of where that’s true are legion, where we should work together and compete with the world together,” Carney said. The debate around what companies would do about tariffs has largely centered on two options: Either companies would pass on the tariffs in the form of higher prices, or they would “eat” the tariffs, essentially absorbing …

11 Signs You Are Dealing With A Total Loser Who Will Never Change

11 Signs You Are Dealing With A Total Loser Who Will Never Change

Published by Jenni Sidey

Real losers often cling to unhealthy social norms. They brag about their goals and adopt outdated mindsets at the expense of their own authenticity and growth. Of course, in unique situations, some people can change, and not everyone who does one or two of these things is an inherent loser. But most of the time, their behaviors speak for themselves. Here are the signs you are likely dealing with a loser who won’t change their ways: 1. They’re incapable of having a vulnerable conversation Krakenimages.com | Shutterstock Many people believe that deep conversations will be more awkward than they actually are, especially with strangers. However, they still bring a lot of purpose, joy, and meaning to our lives, despite being out of most people’s comfort zones. But if someone’s incapable of having a thoughtful and vulnerable conversation with a loved one they already know, there’s a chance they’re actually unable to have a truly meaningful relationship. Especially for women with these tendencies, they tend to have superficial thinking styles that bring conversations back to men. …
