Is the feud between President Trump and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene finally over? In recent weeks President Trump and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene have been exchanging jabs with one another in the press and social media. The feud hit its pinnacle after President trump called MTG a “traitor” and proceeded to withdraw his endorsement from her. Shortly after Trump withdrew his endorsement of MTG she announced she would resign from the House in January of next year. Now President Trump appears to be extending an olive branch to the lawmaker from Georgia. NBC News reported more on President Trump’s most recent comments on MTG’s political future: President Donald Trump said Saturday he would like to see Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene resume her political career at some point, despite their recent falling out. Trump’s comments came the day after Greene, one of the best-known faces in the Republican arena, made the stunning announcement that she will resign in January. In a brief phone interview with NBC News, the president said, “It’s not going to be easy for her” to revive her career in politics, though he added, “I’d love to see that.” In the meantime, Trump said, “she’s got to take a little rest.” Long a stalwart ally of the president, Greene has become more vocal in recent weeks about her differences with some of his policies and priorities. She has faulted Trump for devoting what she sees as excessive attention to foreign leaders as opposed to the pocketbook concerns of everyday Americans. She was also an early advocate for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files and said that Trump had been blocking their disclosure. After calling the effort to release the files a “hoax,” Trump changed course last Sunday and said he supported making them public. Congress quickly voted to compel the Justice Departemnt to do just that, and Trump signed the bill. Trump has lashed out at Greene, calling her a “traitor.” He withdrew his support for her re-election. Early Saturday morning, before his interview with NBC News, Trump posted on his social media site that Greene chose to quit rather than face a Republican primary challenger in the midterm elections next year. He reiterated that she was “a traitor,” while also thanking her for her “service to our country.” A person close to Greene said in an interview that the congresswoman remained convinced she would win re-election had she decided to run. The issue was not so much the competition as the threats and scorn that Greene and her children have endured, the person said, speaking on condition of anonymity. Greene has two daughters and a son, all in their 20s. Trump earlier in the day shared he’s willing to make up with MTG. Take a look: JUST IN – REPORTER: You and Elon Musk had a fight, but you worked it out. Will you do the same with Marjorie Taylor Greene? PRESIDENT TRUMP: "Sure, why not! I get along with everybody." pic.twitter.com/mK5pueKAiW — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) November 22, 2025 WION provided the latest update on the surprising feud: US President Donald Trump said on Saturday (Nov 22) that he was open to reconciliation with Georgia GOP Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene after she announced her unexpected resignation. “Sure, why not? I mean, I get along with everybody,” Trump told reporters when asked if he had any plans to reconcile with her. “I just disagreed with her philosophy. She started backing perhaps the worst Republican congressman in our history,” Trump said to reporters a short time ago. Trump, while reacting to the surprising resignation of Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, said on Saturday (Nov 22) that “Marjorie went BAD”. “I have too much self respect and dignity, love my family too much, and do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for, only to fight and win my election while Republicans will likely lose the midterms,” MTG’s lengthy resignation statement on X read. The American president had hit out at her and called her a “traitor” over collaboration with Republican Representative Tom Massie of Kentucky. Tom backed the measure requiring the Justice Department to release the Jeffrey Epstein documents. On his Truth Social, Trump wrote, “Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown, because of PLUMMETING Poll Numbers, and not wanting to face a Primary Challenger with a strong Trump Endorsement (where she would have no chance of winning!), has decided to call it ‘quits’.” “Her relationship with the WORST Republican Congressman in decades, Tom Massie of Kentucky, also known as Rand Paul Jr. because he votes against the Republican Party (and really good legislation!), did not help her,” Trump added. “For some reason, primarily that I refused to return her never ending barrage of phone calls, Marjorie went BAD,” he continued.

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), who recently announced his gubernatorial campaign, said he wants people to have the option of voting by phone. “I want us to be able to vote by phone,” Swalwell said. “I want us to max out democracy,” he added.

They want to let people vote by phone, and they want 16-year-olds doing it. What a destructive idea. And they want to mass import illegals to make sure patriots can never win again. This force must be repelled. — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) November 22, 2025 CBS News has more on the vote by phone push: Bradley Tusk, founder of the Mobile Voting Project, says it’s the future of our elections and would combat low voter turnout that has been blamed for putting candidates with fringe ideas into office. The entrepreneur, philanthropist and political strategist shared his plan to bring voting to smartphones with CBS News New York at his Manhattan book store on the Lower East Side. “We have spent the last four years, and I’ve spend $20 million of my own money, and this is totally philanthropic, by the way, to try to build the most secure voting technology we’ve ever had,” Tusk said. “We’re going to take the technology that you use right now for your banking, your health care, your love life, so you can vote securely on your phone.” While that may sound great to a lot of people, others wonder what protections would be in place to guarantee the security and integrity of the vote. “The first thing is multifactor authentication. They send you a code and then biometric screening,” Tusk said. “So this is exponentially more complicated and secure than any way we currently verify voters.” Tusk’s app, as it exists now, is still in a beta phase as it continues to be developed. Various iterations have already been used in smaller elections around the United States. Tusk discussed voting by phone at a recent Ted Talk: What if you could vote without leaving your house? Here's why @MobileVoting founder Bradley Tusk says creating a safe and secure way to vote via phone could be key to increasing voter turn out and reducing political extremism: https://t.co/9nGht59lW8 pic.twitter.com/Eb3ZYr2nwd — TED Talks (@TEDTalks) October 29, 2025 In addition to sparking criticism over voting by phone, Swalwell faces heat for a Washington D.C. residence at the center of a mortgage and tax fraud investigation. Justice Department Opens Criminal Probe Into Democrat Congressman Some X users think Swalwell used the D.C. home to film his campaign launch video for Governor of California. Judging from the stairway banister and the kitchen island lights, Eric Swalwell appears to have filmed his campaign launch video for California governor at his primary residence in Washington, DC. pic.twitter.com/b6yxWd7hMd — Rob Pyers (@rpyers) November 21, 2025 More from the New York Post: Swalwell, 45, kicked off his run for the Golden State governor’s office on Thursday night with a minute-long campaign video that pledged to “keep the worst president in our history out of our homes, out of our streets and out of our lives” and lower the cost of living. But X users quickly saw something was amiss and began comparing photos of the congressman’s $1.2 million Victorian-style bungalow in the nation’s capital with screenshots from the campaign spot, leading some to conclude that Swalwell had filmed a portion of his promise to “build a new California” — in DC. “Gavin Newsom’s film credits couldn’t even lure Eric Swalwell into California to shoot [h]is campaign launch video for governor,” one X user snarked in response to the post highlighting the similarities between public photos of the home’s interior before it was purchased and screenshots from the congressman’s video. The California Constitution requires candidates for governor and lieutenant governor to have maintained residency for at least five years in the state, but Secretary of State Shirley Weber’s office has said its “legal opinion” is “that this provision violates the U.S. Constitution and is unenforceable.” A Post review of public records did not show Swalwell currently owning any property in the Golden State and, in fact, revealed that the congressman hasn’t been associated with any addresses there for at least a decade, around the time he began gearing up to run for Congress.

The House Ethics Committee is reviewing a complaint against Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) and his chief of staff Brandon Phillips. Collins is also a candidate for U.S. Senate, running for the seat currently held by Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA). The House Ethics Committee is investigating Mike Collins (R-GA), who is a candidate for the Georgia Senate race, and his chief of staff. https://t.co/3qzP3WoOmC pic.twitter.com/pBXkwMB1jm — Politics & Poll Tracker (@PollTracker2024) November 21, 2025 The Hill has more: In brief notices published Friday, the committee announced that it would come to decisions regarding the complaint against the Georgia Republican and his top aide by Jan. 5, 2026. The notices show the committee has “extended the matter” of considering the complaint, which “does not itself indicate that any violation has occurred, or reflect any judgment on behalf of the Committee.” Notices of extension are required to be published by law. The committee’s review of the complaint against the two men were not public until the notices were posted. “This bogus referral is nothing but a desperate and baseless attack by Rep. Collins’ political opponents,” a Collins spokesperson told The Atlanta-Journal Constitution. “We look forward to the Ethics Committee completing its work and this frivolous complaint being dismissed.” Collins is part of a crowded GOP primary field that includes Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA), former football coach Derek Dooley, and business owner Reagan Box. The Georgia Republican recently faced criticism for running an ad featuring an AI-generated deepfake video portraying the Democratic senator. I'm not going to repost the deepfake video but Mike Collins has resorted to using them to attack Jon Ossoff pic.twitter.com/fZ0hvqsHkl — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) November 13, 2025 CBS News explained: A new political ad in Georgia’s U.S. Senate race is raising concerns about the use of artificial intelligence in elections after Rep. Mike Collins’ campaign released a deepfake video showing Sen. Jon Ossoff mocking farmers and defending a government shutdown. Ossoff never said any of it. The video, posted last week on social media, was created using artificial intelligence and features computer-generated audio of Ossoff claiming to support the shutdown and that he’d “only seen a farm on Instagram.” The ad includes a small on-screen disclaimer that says “the video is AI-generated,” so that it doesn’t violate Georgia or federal laws. The ad has sparked a wider debate over the responsible use of emerging technologies in political persuasion, and what happens when the line between truth and fabrication starts to blur. The Georgia Republican Party defended the video as legitimate political satire. Josh McKoon, chair of the Georgia GOP, said the party “stands behind the creative use of cutting-edge technology” and accused Democrats of being “terrified of losing power.” “This ad was clearly labeled as AI-generated satire,” McKoon told CBS News Atlanta in a statement. “Any claim that it’s a deepfake meant to deceive is just the latest desperate talking point.” Ossoff’s campaign disagreed, calling the ad an intentional attempt to mislead voters. The incumbent candidate has pledged not to use the technology during this election cycle.

The U.S. Border Patrol is secretly monitoring millions of American drivers nationwide in a program to identify and detain individuals who have “suspicious” travel patterns, the Associated Press claims. According to the outlet, the “predictive intelligence program” uses cameras to scan and record vehicle license plate information and flag those deemed suspicious. Federal agents can potentially notify local law enforcement, the outlet said. The outlet shared this extensive video report: The U.S. Border Patrol is monitoring millions of American drivers nationwide in a secretive program to identify and detain people whose travel patterns it deems suspicious, The Associated Press has found. pic.twitter.com/EeG1O7e5W6 — The Associated Press (@AP) November 21, 2025 More from the Associated Press: Once limited to policing the nation’s boundaries, the Border Patrol has built a surveillance system stretching into the country’s interior that can monitor ordinary Americans’ daily actions and connections for anomalies instead of simply targeting wanted suspects. Started about a decade ago to fight illegal border-related activities and the trafficking of both drugs and people, it has expanded over the past five years. The Border Patrol has recently grown even more powerful through collaborations with other agencies, drawing information from license plate readers nationwide run by the Drug Enforcement Administration, private companies and, increasingly, local law enforcement programs funded through federal grants. Texas law enforcement agencies have asked Border Patrol to use facial recognition to identify drivers, documents show. This active role beyond the borders is part of the quiet transformation of its parent agency, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, into something more akin to a domestic intelligence operation. Under the Trump administration’s heightened immigration enforcement efforts, CBP is now poised to get more than $2.7 billion to build out border surveillance systems such as the license plate reader program by layering in artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies. The result is a mass surveillance network with a particularly American focus: cars. This investigation, the first to reveal details of how the program works on America’s roads, is based on interviews with eight former government officials with direct knowledge of the program who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak to the media, as well as dozens of federal, state and local officials, attorneys and privacy experts. The AP also reviewed thousands of pages of court and government documents, state grant and law enforcement data, and arrest reports.

Courts have started to recognize that “large-scale surveillance technology that’s capturing everyone and everywhere at every time” might be unconstitutional under the Fourth Amendment, said Andrew Ferguson, a law professor at George Washington University. Nicole Ozer, the executive director of the Center for Constitutional Democracy at UC Law San Francisco, expressed alarm when told of AP’s findings. “They are collecting mass amounts of information about who people are, where they go, what they do, and who they know,” she said. “These surveillance systems do not make communities safer.”

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem announced an investment of more than $1 billion into TSA security checkpoints across the United States. Noem made the announcement during a press conference at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada. “We as the Department of Homeland Security are going to be investing over $1 billion in new technology and new advancements in the security systems at security checkpoints in airports across the country,” Noem said. Noem said it’s the biggest investment in screening technologies “in over a decade.” “We know that it is our responsibility not just to keep travelers safe, but also to make sure that we’re getting them to their locations and to their destinations safely,” she continued.

Noem also gave TSA agents $10,000 bonus checks at the press conference.

We were amazed by the ability of our security checkpoints and our transportation security officers to still continue to show up and do their jobs and do it with excellence, but they also did it without pay,” Noem said. Noem said there were “only a handful of many” across the county who the department could point to as examples of exceptional TSA agents, four of whom she highlighted during Saturday’s press conference. “Many of them, while the politicians were in D.C. posturing and trying to win political points to advantage themselves, these individuals were still showing up for work every day. They were doing it while they didn’t have a paycheck, they couldn’t pay their bills, they couldn’t put food on the table for their families, but they also did it with a smile on their face,” Noem said. Noem also announced that the department will be giving bonus checks to many TSOs across the country for “doing their job with excellence,” by not just showing up for their shifts during the government shutdown, but also taking extra shifts and extra responsibilities, as well as going above and beyond to serve those in their communities and help fellow employees.
