Conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer is apparently calling the shots in Trump’s White House. Tim Miller and Will Sommer take on the chaotic power struggle, Loomer’s shocking Oval Office influence, and the explosive fallout from MAGA’s latest witch hunt.

Thank you for the excellent coverage. Let's hope the people who can do something actually DO SOMETHING.
On a technical note, Will's mic sounds muddy.
Shock & awe, Baby. Don’t ask for anything more.
Looks like 6 Waltz underlings were fired. I don’t see how Waltz survives.
I think that's a sure sign of just the opposite. 6 sacrificed at the Loomer altar may be enough of a sacrifice.
In my experience with execs, and I use that word "exec" advisedly about Trump -- many execs act on the words of the last person who speaks with them or whispers in their ear...
During his spat with Putin, Trump has found another pro-authoritarian voice to whisper in his ear.
MAGA has entered its McCarthyism phase.
on the greenland thing. i wonder if the military would actually follow an order from trump to invade. i asume top military brass are considering their options.
i disagree with them at times, but the two pluses of the US military are 1) they swear to uphold the Constitution, not obey the pres if he thwarts the constitution 2) they are a meritocracy. The military has been watching top people they respect get canned, while unwise people who are NOT merit go higher and higher. Let's hope the courts can do more, that more of the Repubs in Congress start to shape up and join with the Dems
Where is Suzie Wiles? Great gate keeping Suzie.
Anyone who willingly helped get Trump reelected is deeply UnAmerican and without morals.
I have heard many MAGA on social media point the finger at Alex Wong. They claim he purposefully added Jeffery Goldberg to the Signal chat just to embarrass Trump. Also most of the MAGA posts about Wong were also somewhat anti-Asian.
Can we start a count of how many times Tim says “this is insane” 🤣. My guess is once daily on average for the 4 yr term 🤣
Wow. Trump is so easy to manipulate.
All one has to do is flatter him.
Is there a way to turn off these subtitles?
Hover your cursor over the video screen and click on the "cc" (closed captions) button. You can turn off that way.
No, that CC button toggles on and off a whole different set of captions. I am not sure why my videos default to this odd caption stream. Maybe it's a substack setting I can't find.
lol - my tech support capabilities are tapped out! I hope you can fix - good luck!
Appreciate the effort! :)
I have some hearing deficits. I wonder if there’s ever a transcript of your programs that I could read. I get excited about what I think you’re gonna talk about but listening is difficult. Thank you for helping break accurate news to people.
The transcript for all of these videos is available underneath the video box on the lower right. The “button” is in light grey lettering, between “Share” and “…”. So you can choose to read the transcript, or the closed captions (subtitles) suggested by Jessica, below. Or both!

I miss the old days when Omarosa was running around at midnight and getting tackled by John Kelly
Ah the days of innocence! Remember when Monica Lewinsky was the biggest scandal EVER?!? We were just so shocked......especially the GOP. Moral outrage! What complete hypocrites.
it was never about sex . Or lying .
Laura Loomer just looks crazy!
Oh course she's from FL. :/
She is a few cards short of a deck.
And plastic.
It must be nice for her followers to pay for her extensive plastic surgeries which include more lip filler than you could even dream of.
Notice they wouldn't let her meet with Trump alone. They don't trust his judgement!
Uh - I think they know what happens when they are left alone....barf.
I would say unbelievable- but at this point…. When is the Republican Congress going to stop this insanity?!
I nominate Will for combat pay.
Yes, indeed.
He finally listens to someone. And it turns out to be Laura Loomer. More evidence of Trump's cognitive and moral decline
I really have to check every time to make sure this is not an Onion article.
Same
President Musk and Vice President Loomer…
