I believe Marjorie Taylor Greene, Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes and Candace Owens have the pulse of the modern MAGA movement going forward.
You can laugh at them and dismiss them as cranks, but you have to pay attention to what they're selling.
This is what comes after Trump.

The Trump admin submitted a sworn declaration under oath that Costa Rica had changed its mind and would no longer take Mr. Abrego.
Costa Rica has now said publicly that that this is false, that they have not changed their position at all, and that they will still take him.

Unpacked:
In Aug., Govt said if Abrego pled guilty he could go to Costa Rica, where he's okay with going. Abrego said no to plea. Govt now wants to send him to Liberia. Why not Costa Rica? Govt told judge Thurs that Costa Rica wouldn’t take him anymore. @mariasacchetti exposed them.

Costa Rica will accept Abrego, per @washingtonpost.com .
If true, DOJ, DHS, and Dept of State caused lies to be disseminated to Judge Xinis all day Thursday, where an ICE official testified about info sent him by Dept of State, claiming Costa Rica wouldn't take Abrego.

Note—every time a Federal judge rules against Trump, Trump claims "the judge is usurping the President's power."
That's a lie.
Judge's don't "usurp" POTUS's power—they enforce Constitutional & Congressional limits on power.
Wannabe kings don't like it, but that's how separation of powers works.

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now.
I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system.
It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

Too late. Marco Rubio already spilled the truth. The so called peace plan was Russia’s wish list, not something the US drafted. He’s trying to walk it back but the damage is done.
He’s scrambling.

Trump bought Boeing bonds while rewarding the company billions in federal contracts.
He bought Intel bonds after directing the government to acquire a stake in the company.
He bought Meta bonds while pushing AI-friendly policy.
Trump isn’t governing — he’s cashing in.

After Charlie Kirk’s death, Donald Trump condemned “political violence.” So what—exactly—is calling for the murder of members of Congress who don’t share his politics?
