Joe Rogan Criticizes 'Rabid' Trump Supporters, Sparks Social Media Backlash

Podcaster Joe Rogan has drawn criticism on social media after describing supporters of President Trump as 'f---ing nuts' and 'rabid' during a recent episode of 'The Joe Rogan Experience.' The comments were made in a discussion with comedian Ron White regarding the backlash country music star Jelly Roll received for making jokes about President Trump while guest-hosting 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' Rogan suggested that Trump represents more than just a person to his supporters, viewing him as a leader they believe will 'save us.' This perspective, according to Rogan, is a broader societal issue where leaders are seen as fundamentally different from others. Rogan's remarks have led to mockery and criticism online, with many social media users highlighting his past endorsement of President Trump during the 2024 presidential election. Some users posted screenshots and comments recalling Rogan's previous support for Trump, including a post where he praised Elon Musk for making a compelling case for Trump.

Bipartisan Coalition Urges Congressional Appointment for Next GAO Head to Ensure Independence

Bipartisan Coalition Urges Congressional Appointment for Next GAO Head to Ensure Independence

A bipartisan coalition is advocating for Congress, rather than the president, to appoint the next head of the Government Accountability Office (GAO). This call for reform comes after the retirement of Comptroller General Gene Dodaro in December 2025, leaving Orice Williams Brown to lead the GAO in an acting capacity. The coalition, organized by the American Governance Institute and supported by over 20 organizations across the political spectrum, argues that this change is crucial to preserve the GAO's independence, impartiality, professionalism, and credibility. They emphasize that Congress alone should choose its agency heads, especially for an office within the legislative branch that examines the effectiveness and efficiency of federal programs. The current process involves a commission of senior lawmakers recommending individuals to the president, who then makes a selection subject to Senate confirmation.

U.S. House Passes National Fraud Enforcement Division Act with Bipartisan Support

The U.S. House of Representatives has approved H.R. 9576, the National Fraud Enforcement Division Act of 2026, with significant bipartisan backing. The measure passed with a vote of 352-72, with nine members abstaining. Republican Representative Brad Finstad of Minnesota introduced the bill on July 2, co-sponsored by Kansas Republican Representative Derek Schmidt. The legislation aims to permanently establish the National Fraud Enforcement Division within the Department of Justice (DOJ). This division already exists administratively, having been created earlier this year under President Trump, with Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche formally announcing it in April as part of a broader federal anti-fraud initiative. The DOJ states that the unit investigates and prosecutes fraud targeting taxpayer dollars, government programs, businesses, nonprofits, and private citizens, also coordinating with various law enforcement partners.
