When GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene announced her upcoming resignation unexpectedly on Friday night, she railed against the "political industrial complex" that dominates government, saying that "not one elected leader like me is able to stop Washington’s machine from gradually destroying our country." Indeed, the Georgia Republican's rise to prominence...

President Donald Trump on Friday night said it was “great news” that former ally GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA) announced her coming resignation from Congress. Trump and Greene recently had a falling out, which culminated in Trump saying he’d back a primary challenge against Greene. “Just spoke with Pres. Trump on the phone. He said [Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene] resigning is ‘great news from the country,'” ABC News reporter Rachel Scott posted to X. “I think it’s great news for the country. It’s great,” the president said. Asked if Greene gave him a “heads up” about her resignation, Trump responded, “Nah, it doesn’t matter, you know but I think it’s great. I think she should be happy.” Trump also told Scott that the rift between the pair only exists “between me and her, not her and me.” “He said as of now, he has no plans to speak to her and wishes her well,” Scott added.

Good, regular, common Americans.” The Georgia representative added that “loyalty should be a two-way street” and, referring to the president, said her “self worth is not defined by a man, but instead by God, who created everything in existence.” Greene will officially step down on January 5.

(@mtgreenee) November 22, 2025 MTG’s resignation announcement comes just one week after Trump said he was done supporting the rep. Greene has recently accused Trump of being “America Last” for meeting with foreign leaders and has routinely criticized Republican leadership. She’s also suggested Trump has made missteps concerning the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein documents. Trump said last week that the congresswoman started to publicly criticize him after he sent her a poll showing she’d fare poorly if she made a run for the Senate or governorship in Georgia, adding that she’s also upset that he doesn’t have time to return her phone calls anymore.

The crux of socialism is that central government planners believe they know better than individual people how to allocate resources across an economy. That is why the newly elected New York City mayor, self-proclaimed Democrat socialist Zohran Mamdani, believes the wealthiest people should pay more than half of what they earn to the government. While defending his proposed 54% top marginal income tax rate in a recent Fox News interview, Mamdani said: “My point is this. If you are making $1 million in New York City, or more than that, you can afford to pay 2% more, and the reasons you can afford to do so is because that money will be used to better your quality of life as well.” In other words, would-be central planner Mamdani believes that he can improve overall societal well-being through redistribution and that he can improve individual people’s lives by taking more of their money and spending it better than they could. That notion flies in the face of Milton Friedman’s commonsense observation, “Nobody spends somebody else’s money as carefully as he spends his own.” It’s also a particularly audacious claim considering that Mamdani is talking about some of the most capable and innovative people who have demonstrated their productivity by earning more than $1 million annually. Mamdani can’t know how thousands of wealthy New Yorkers would have spent the extra taxes he wants to take from them. Suppose one high-income earner would have used that money to expand her business and create 10 new jobs, and another would have given all his newly taxed earnings to a city charity that helps lift people out of cycles of poverty. Or yet another who would have invested in a biotech startup developing gene therapies to extend human lifespans? Can Mamdani make every one of them, or even society as a whole, better off through more rent controls, government-subsidized child care and government-run grocery stores? Mamdani’s popularity rests on his promises of “free” government handouts for far more people than he plans to tax, but that promise is a pipe dream. Mamdani’s vision of a supersized European welfare state would require supersized European taxes. Already, middle-class Europeans pay tax rates comparable to what Mamdani wants to impose on the millionaires of the Big Apple. They also pay almost twice as much in taxes, $12,000 more per year, than the same middle-class Americans. European families also pay roughly 50% higher taxes than American families. Inevitably, attempts to soak the rich also sink the middle class.                                                                                                                 That’s particularly true when talking about a single city that constitutes just 2.5% of the U.S. population and less than 0.1% of America’s land mass. Those who are charged with paying for all of Mamdani’s “free” handouts can just leave the city or the state. New York City already leads the nation in out-migration, having lost hundreds of thousands of residents and tens of billions of dollars in tax revenue over the past 12 years as people have fled to states such as Florida, which offer sunnier skies and zero income tax. Although the freedom to flee New York City is welcome relief for those who foresee the folly of Mamdani’s promises, it will be of little recompense to those whose dreams of a socialist utopia instead come at the expense of their freedom, opportunity and material well-being.

MS Now host Jonathan Capehart did not appreciate the idea that certain Democratic politicians making a video urging the military to disobey President Trump was a problem. During PBS News Hour’s Friday weekly news recap, Capehart condemned the American Enterprise Institute’s Matthew Continetti for declaring that “both sides” disgraced themselves with the video because, in his mind, only President Trump’s reaction to it was worth discussing. Host Amna Nawaz began with Continetti, “I want to ask for your response to the video, but also to put to you that Senator Slotkin, who's in that video, said she and other members of the video have gotten close to 1,000 threats since it was posted. Congressman Crow posted some of the threats he's been receiving calling for his family to be killed. It's chilling stuff. But how dangerous is the president's rhetoric on this?”     Continetti condemned everyone involved, “I think a lot of the rhetoric has been very dangerous. I think both sides here have been not covering themselves in glory. On the one hand you're calling the president a fascist, a dictator in training, someone who's going to issue unlawful orders, even though they can't name a single unlawful order that the president has given. And then, of course, you have the president himself calling this sedition, treason, punishable by death.” He further added, “If we want to lower the temperature, it will take responsibility on every party. But what has struck me about this is how it's a partisan split screen. Both parties are playing to their bases here. The Democrats are rallying behind these congressmen, and the Republicans almost uniformly are rallying behind President Trump. So, I don't think that this is going to have a long-term effect politically on the president.” Nawaz then turned to Capehart but refused to ask him about the idea that Democrats are urging the military to disobey illegal orders while not providing any examples of those illegal orders, “Jonathan, you want to respond?” Capehart began by huffing, “I sort of bristle at the idea that this is a both sides thing. What we have here in terms of the threats, particularly against these members of Congress, it's that you have the president of the United States retweeting, or whatever you want to call it, threats against members of Congress. He is the one who in language and in — if you want to go back to January 6, in deeds who is fanning, fomenting the nastiness that is out there.” For Capehart, the avoidance of inflammatory political rhetoric isn’t a matter of personal responsibility, but rather, something that starts with Trump, “If we want to lower the temperature, if we want to change the way we do politics in the country, it has to start with the chief executive. It has to start with the president. And he has shown an unwillingness to do that.” Viewing that as an excuse, Continetti rebutted, “And it also has to be followed through by all of us, including people who are betraying him — portraying him as an authoritarian who poses an existential threat to this country.” A displeased Capehart replied, “There's lots of evidence that it's not unwarranted.” The last time Continetti subbed for New York Times columnist David Brooks, he did a good job getting Capehart to show that his concern about presidential abuse of power revolves not around the means, but the ends. Now, Capehart has shown his concern about political rhetoric operates in the same way.
