Of course they want Kirsten fired. She made the President look like the petulant toddler that he is by not allowing him to steamroll her.. So they seek retribution.Gianl1974 (@Gianl1974)An online campaign led by supporters of U.S. President Donald Trump is calling on NBC News to remove journalist Kristen Welker from the network. The backlash intensified across social media after recent political coverage and interviews that many Trump supporters described as biased against the president.
Several pro-Trump commentators and political accounts have been demanding NBC take immediate action, while some reports circulating online claim that Trump himself wants Welker fired from NBC immediately. However, no official statement from the White House or NBC News has confirmed those reports.
Kristen Welker, moderator of NBC’s “Meet the Press,” has long faced criticism from conservative circles over her handling of political interviews and election-related coverage. Supporters of Welker argue that the attacks are part of growing political pressure against mainstream media journalists in the United States.
The controversy once again highlights the deep divide between major media organizations and Trump’s political base, especially as political tensions continue to dominate American public discourse.

The Pentagon on Monday published an updated list of religious affiliations, backtracking days after Mormon lawmakers expressed outrage at a revamped list the Defense Department published last Friday—which didn’t list the LDS church under a subcategory for “Christian” denominations.

Karmelo’s Defense attorneys rested their case today without calling him to testify.
Closing arguments are scheduled to begin on Tuesday before the case is eventually handed to the jury for deliberations. Legal Analyst Thelma Anderson will breakdown what happened in the courtroom.
A scholarship designed to support Black students pursuing careers in chemistry and the physical sciences is at the center of a recent Iowa Supreme Court decision. For now, the decision blocks the University of Iowa’s attempt to change the eligibility criteria for this privately funded award. We’ll speak with one of the attorneys involved in the case.
The Marshall Project reported at least 47 suicides in solitary confinement across Mississippi prisons between 2015 and 2025. We’ll discuss this troubling pattern with one of the reporters who discovered that many inmates had previously requested mental health assistance, only to be placed in restrictive housing instead of receiving the care they needed.
Once again, Trump insulted a black female reporter. We’ll show you the exchange that made the twice-impeached, criminally convicted felon-in-chief, Donald “The Con” Trump abruptly end the interview with NBC’s Meet The Press Moderator, Kristen Welker.

Elements of the U.S. Army’s 82nd Airborne Division were secretly deployed to Israel in early April, as part of joint contingency planning between Israel and the United States, completed since February, for seizing Iranian-controlled Kharg Island in the Persian Gulf and carving out coastal territory inside Iran, according to a deployment order seen by Ken Klippenstein.
The order, issued April 7, 2026, directed paratroopers from the 2nd Battalion, 501st Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division – the storied “Geronimo!” Battalion – to deploy to Israel on “temporary duty,” in a move not previously reported by the Pentagon. Asked about the number of troops deployed to Israel and their mission, the Pentagon referred questions to U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM).
