Elon Musk's America Party: Laura Loomer predicts these people may join to spite Donald Trump
The timing of Loomer's prediction is especially notable. It came just after President Trump signed off on the controversial 'Big, Beautiful Bill,' a sweeping tax and spending package that drew criticism from fiscal conservatives and Musk alike. As ideological fault lines widen, Loomer's comments reflect growing discontent within Republican ranks and hint at a possible political realignment ahead of 2026.
Laura Loomer predicts defections to undermine Donald Trump
Shortly after Musk's announcement, Laura Loomer took to X (formerly Twitter) to make a striking prediction. She named Tucker Carlson, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG), and Rep. Thomas Massie as potential defectors to Musk's America Party, a move she believes would be aimed at undercutting Donald Trump's influence. 'I predict Tucker Carlson, MTG, and Thomas Massie will join the new 'America Party' to spite President Trump,' Loomer wrote.

Loomer, a longtime Trump supporter known for her hardline views, has frequently called out fellow conservatives whom she believes are disloyal or politically opportunistic. Her latest comments add fuel to speculation about rising fault lines within the GOP.
A bold move from Elon Musk
Elon Musk officially launched the America Party on July 4, declaring it a response to public frustration with the current political establishment. In a widely shared post, Musk wrote, "By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it. Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom."
His decision followed a public fallout with President Trump over the 'Big, Beautiful Bill.' Musk had strongly opposed the legislation, criticizing its size and scope. His move to form a new party signals an effort to reshape the political conversation, particularly among conservatives dissatisfied with Trump-era policies.
Cracks within the Republican base
Tensions between Trump and various Republican figures have been escalating, especially over issues like government spending and party direction. Rep. Thomas Massie, a libertarian-leaning Republican from Kentucky, has frequently clashed with Trump, including during the pandemic when he opposed Covid relief packages. Trump once referred to him as a 'pathetic loser.'
Marjorie Taylor Greene, although once a close Trump ally, has recently voiced support for some of Musk's positions. Tucker Carlson, meanwhile, has maintained a complicated relationship with Trump and may be open to political shifts that align with his populist brand. Loomer's naming of these figures underscores growing uncertainty about where influential conservatives will place their loyalty going forward.
Whether or not Carlson, Greene, or Massie will formally align with the America Party remains to be seen. But the speculation itself is already shifting political dynamics, raising new questions about Trump's grip on the GOP and whether Musk can truly disrupt the conservative power structure.
As the 2026 elections approach, the right is poised for internal battles that may define its future. One thing is clear. Elon Musk is no longer just a disruptor in tech. He is now a force reshaping the landscape of American politics.

Ted Cruz dismisses 'weather modification' conspiracy theory amid Texas flood crisis, says: 'Internet can be a strange place'
Ted Cruz dismissed conspiracy theories that some secret agency is manipulating weather. Bizarre conspiracy theories have surfaced on social media as Texas is reeling under a massive flood after Republican leader Marjorie Taylor Greene announced that she will be introducing a new bill that would tackle weather modification. This is based on conspiracy theories that the government or some secretive organizations are manipulating the weather, resulting in such sudden mishaps. These organizations are using aircraft to release chemicals or metals into the atmosphere, conspiracy theorists believe. This is not a new theory but Greene's post after the Texas flood in which more than 80 people were killed reinvigorates these theories as being behind the Texas flooding. Senator Ted Cruz Monday rubbished these theories and said there is zero evidence to support claims that anyone is manipulating the weather. "The internet can be a strange place," Cruz said at a press conference this morning. "People can come up with all sorts of crazy theories." Ted Cruz said the authorities should have evacuated Camp Mystic, the Christian girls' camp on the banks of the Guadalupe River, was evacuated earlier. 'We would evacuate those in the vulnerable areas, such as younger children in the cabins, we would evacuate them sooner and get them to higher ground if we could go back,' Cruz said at a press briefing in Kerr County, the hardest-hit area of Texas Hill Country and home to the famed camp for young girls. But Cruz said he did not want finger-pointing at this hour of tragedy. "You're dropping your little girl off at camp, your little boy off at camp. You're celebrating Independence Day. You know that your child is going to be swimming, and canoes, and horseback riding, and doing archery, and making lifetime friends," Cruz said. "Then suddenly, it turns to tragedy." "There's a time to have political fights. There's a time to disagree. This is not that time," Cruz said. "This is a time just to reach out, support each other, go volunteer at the Salvation Army, give them money, go volunteer at your church."

Emergency by Indira was undemocratic: Joshi
Dharwad: Union minister Pralhad Joshi said the 50th year of the dark days of Emergency in India is being observed throughout the country to inform the younger generation about how the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi imposed the Emergency and ruled for 21 months without constitutional and moral authority. Speaking at the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Sabha and the inauguration of the 50th year of remembrance of the struggle during the Emergency, organised by the BJP at Karnataka Vidyavardhaka Sangha here, he said Emergency was imposed on June 25, 1975 and during that time, protests were suppressed, many protesters including all the leaders of opposition parties were imprisoned, and several people lost their lives, he explained. "Indira Gandhi was accused of misusing her power during the elections by Raj Narain, who took the matter to court. Justice HR Khanna of the Allahabad High Court had delivered the verdict in favour of Raj Narain and had declared Indira's election null and void. That judgement copy is not available anymore," he added. "Jawaharlal Nehru made the first constitutional amendment. Later, Indira Gandhi made several amendments including to Articles 38, 39, and 42. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Ford&Go.

'Far from reciprocal': Trump slaps 25% tariffs on Japan and South Korea ahead of July 9 trade deadline
US President Donald Trump on Monday placed a 25% tax on goods imported from Japan and South Korea, citing persistent trade imbalances with the two crucial American allies in Asia. Trump provided notice of the tariffs to begin on August 1 by posting near-identically worded letters on Truth Social addressed to the Japanese and South Korean leaders, stating their trading relationships with Washington were "unfortunately, far from Reciprocal." Trump warned the countries, both key US allies in East Asia, of an escalation if they responded to the new US tariffs. But he also said he was ready to modify levies "downwards" if Japan and South Korea changed their trade policies. The US President has been talking for a while about ending trade negotiations and sending out letters informing countries about their tariff rates. On Friday, he told reporters that 'I signed some letters and they'll go out on Monday, probably 12.' (Two have been released so far.) The letters, issued on White House stationary, have Trump's typical flourishes and capitalization. 'We invite you to participate in the extraordinary Economy of the United States, the Number One Market in the World, by far,' he wrote to the leaders of South Korea and Japan. He ends both of the letters by saying, 'Thank you for your attention to this matter!' Over the past week the administration is stepping up pressure on trading partners to quickly make new deals before the Wednesday deadline. That furthers the uncertainty for businesses, consumers and America's trading partners, and questions remain about which countries will be notified, whether anything will change in the days ahead and whether Trump will once more push off imposing the rates. Trump and his top trade advisers say he could extend the time for dealmaking but they insist the administration is applying maximum pressure on other nations.
