No previous president has ever been imprisoned. However, former President Donald Trump is currently facing multiple charges across three criminal cases, which, if proven guilty, could result in a potential lifetime in prison.
Considering all 78 charges filed in Florida, New York, and the District of Columbia, the combined prison term could amount to nearly 600 years if served consecutively. To put it into perspective, Mr. Trump's projected release date would be farther away in time than Christopher Columbus' arrival in America.
Nevertheless, legal experts anticipate that if convicted, Mr. Trump is more likely to receive concurrent sentences and recommendations for substantially shorter periods than the maximum penalties for each charge.
Mr. Trump has strongly denied any wrongdoing in these cases, stating that they are politically motivated and intended to hinder his 2024 White House bid.
During testimony on Monday, Devon Archer, who used to work with Hunter Biden, mentioned that Hunter Biden actually got President Joe Biden on the phone with clients even before his father was elected to the White House.
Donald Trump made his entrance into Erie Insurance Arena on Saturday night, greeted by cheers and applause. He soaked in the adoration for a few minutes before taking to the microphone. "We're gonna win the Pennsylvania primary without breaking a sweat," declared Mr. Trump in the electrifying hockey arena, packed with nearly 9,000 attendees. "And we're gonna kick Joe [Biden] outta the White House."
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell reassured the public of his well-being after a brief, unexpected pause during a Senate Republican leadership press conference. In a peculiar moment, McConnell interrupted his speech for over 20 seconds, maintaining a fixed gaze ahead. Concerned GOP colleagues approached him, prompting inquiry into his condition. Subsequently, Wyoming Republican Sen. John Barrasso, a physician, promptly escorted McConnell away from the lectern.
During a recent interview, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) indicated that the Republican-controlled chamber is progressing towards an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. The allegations revolve around claims that the President accepted substantial monetary bribes from foreign nations.
McCarthy's comments follow Sen. Chuck Grassley's (R-IA) recent release of an FBI-generated FD-1023 form. In the document, a confidential human source informed the FBI that Mykola Zlochevsky, the co-founder and CEO of Burisma, alleged being "coerced" by then-Vice President Biden and his son. Zlochevsky claimed that this coercion led to the payment of millions in bribes in return for their assistance in pressuring Ukraine to terminate the investigation into Burisma.
Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) is urging the Republican donor class to exert pressure on low-polling GOP candidates in the 2024 presidential race in order to defeat Trump.
Romney urges the donor class to pressure 2024 Republican presidential candidates with no viable path to drop out by February. He believes narrowing the field to a two-person race before Trump secures the nomination is crucial for other Republicans to have a chance. He calls for donors to support candidates who will withdraw if their paths to the nomination close, emphasizing the need for decisive action.
In their "An Open Letter to the Biden Administration on Popular Constitutionalism," Harvard law professor Mark Tushnet and San Francisco State University political scientist Aaron Belkin offer a response to Biden's characterization of the court as "not a normal court" in the wake of prominent cases.
The authors emphasize the need for President Biden to proactively address what they perceive as misguided interpretations of the Constitution by MAGA justices. They urge the administration to assert its own constitutional interpretations and to vocalize its commitment to safeguarding our core principles whenever such rulings arise.
According to a report published in December by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, a German research institute, the United States sent nearly $50 billion in military, humanitarian and financial aid to Ukraine in 2022. As that number continues to climb, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited the U.S. Congress in December to appeal directly to lawmakers and the American people for additional assistance.
Former President Donald Trump anticipates being arrested as part of a federal inquiry into the US Capitol riot and attempts to contest the outcome of the 2020 election. In a recent social media post, Mr. Trump revealed that Special Counsel Jack Smith informed him on Sunday night that he is a subject of their investigation. The ex-president further stated that he was instructed to present himself before a grand jury, a circumstance that typically precedes arrest and indictment.
Vivek Ramaswamy is a newcomer to the political scene and arguably the most pleasant surprise of the GOP candidates vying to become the nominee for the 2024 presidential election.
According to reports, Kevin McCarthy expressed unwavering support for Marjorie Taylor Greene, the controversial Republican congresswoman from Georgia who holds far-right views and promotes conspiracy theories. McCarthy stood by her side during a right-wing rebellion and through multiple rounds of voting for the position of US House speaker. He allegedly assured a friend that he would always support and take care of Greene, stating, "I will never abandon her." These statements were reported by the New York Times.
NATO states have acknowledged Ukraine's potential membership but did not specify a timeline. Addressing the "absurd" delay, President Zelensky expressed frustration, noting the lack of readiness to invite Ukraine to NATO. Currently attending the summit in Vilnius, Lithuania.
A coalition of 21 ardent conservative House Republicans have notified Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) of their intention to oppose spending bills they deem to have inadequate overall cuts. They have also enumerated their specific demands, which include a public rejection by the Speaker of any possibility of supplemental funding for Ukraine.
DESANTIS: We will end the weaponization of government. And that’s, of course, a new FBI director on day one. That’s a difference between me and Donald Trump, he says the jury’s still out on FBI Director Wray. I think you need a new start on day one. We’re going to clean house at the Department of Justice. And, you know, I look back at, like, the Hunter Biden censorship, which was a huge, huge deal to happen in the 2020 election. And yet, you know, those were Donald Trump’s own agencies that were colluding with Big Tech.
It is time for us to consider decoupling from the CCP. We must convey the message that their malicious attacks on the United States will not go unanswered. The recent amendments to espionage laws pose challenges to foreign companies, criminalizing normal business operations.
During Wednesday's daily briefing, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre found herself bombarded with a barrage of questions pertaining to cocaine. Nearly every reporter in the room seemed fixated on who might be responsible for its presence, the state of security measures, the possibility of drug testing for staff members, and an array of other inquiries. In response, Jean-Pierre consistently stressed that the Secret Service was handling the matter and that she would refrain from disclosing any further details until their investigation concluded.
The Oath Keepers militia leader, sentenced to 18 years in prison for his involvement in the Jan. 6 riot, has a warning for former President Trump: "You’re going to get railroaded." Stewart Rhodes, convicted of seditious conspiracy, expressed his concerns about being a target, citing the treatment he received from prosecutors.
Independence Day, also known as the Fourth of July or July 4th, has held the esteemed status of a federal holiday in the United States since 1941. However, the tradition of celebrating this historical day traces its roots back to the 18th century and the revolutionary period of American history. On July 2nd, 1776, the Continental Congress made a momentous decision in favor of independence, closely followed by the unanimous adoption of the Declaration of Independence, an unparalleled masterpiece crafted by the esteemed Thomas Jefferson.
According to an interim staff report released on Monday night, classified documents acquired by the House Judiciary Committee reveal that a Department of Homeland Security agency has broadened its scope to monitor Americans' social media speech, collaborated with major technology companies, and government-funded third parties to indirectly censor content. Furthermore, the report states that the agency attempted to conceal its unquestionably unconstitutional actions from the public eye.
As John Adams, the second US President, once wrote, "A division of the republic into two great parties ... is to be dreaded as the great political evil." Sadly, our current system has proven Adams' warning true, with the presidential election inevitably boiling down to a choice between two strikingly similar parties. While the US political landscape is composed of more than just the Democratic and Republican parties, the two major parties effectively monopolize political power due to our electoral system.
A day after the mutiny by Wagner revealed the fragility of Putin's regime, all the main players in Russia's political crisis stayed out of sight - leaving everyone to wonder if the drama was really over.
Unanswered questions remain about the fate of Wagner's 25,000 troops and owner Yevgeny Prigozhin, as well as Russia's military leadership, who failed to prevent their rapid advance towards Moscow. Details of agreements brokered by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko to prevent bloodshed have not been disclosed.
On Wednesday, the House of Representatives voted to censure California Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff. The plan introduced by Florida GOP Rep. Anna Paulina Luna narrowly passed by a 213-209 vote, and Schiff was rebuked for endorsing the thoroughly discredited Trump-Russia collusion hoax.
John Durham, the ex-Special Counsel, is set to testify on Wednesday morning in front of Congress. This comes just a few weeks after his report found that the Trump-Russia investigation should never have been initiated by the DOJ and the FBI.
President Biden’s son Hunter has reached a tentative agreement with federal prosecutors to plead guilty to two minor tax crimes and admit to the facts of a gun charge under terms that would likely keep him out of jail, according to court papers filed Tuesday.
Any proposed plea deal would have to be approved by a federal judge, and it was not immediately clear what day Hunter Biden, 53, might appear in court to enter his guilty plea.
The agreement caps an investigation that was opened in 2018 during the Trump administration, and has generated intense interest and criticism since 2020 from Republican politicians who accused the Biden administration of reluctance to pursue the case. The terms of the proposed deal — negotiated with Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, a holdover from President Donald Trump’s administration — are likely to face similar scrutiny.
On Friday, a considerable number of demonstrators protested outside Dodger Stadium. The Los Angeles Dodgers had planned to honour the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a drag troupe who define as "queer and trans nuns," during their annual Pride Night celebration. Certain actions from the group, such as pole dancing on a cross, have raised issues of the group mocking Catholicism, leading to outraging the Catholic community.
On Wednesday, the House rejected the notion of censuring and condemning Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.). He had been accused of asserting that former President Donald Trump had colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election.
In a 225-196 vote, lawmakers chose to dismiss the censure resolution against Schiff, effectively preventing its passage. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla. introduced the resolution, but 20 Republicans opposed it and two other GOP lawmakers and five Democrats abstained.
"This pure election interference," he declared. "Even worse, it's a political persecution straight out of a fascist or communist regime. This day will go down in infamy, and Joe Biden will forever be viewed as the most corrupt President in our history. But more importantly, his reign was marked by a cabal of thugs, misfits, and Marxists who tried to destroy American democracy."
Amid preparations for Donald Trump's arraignment at a Miami courthouse, court officials set up barricades and police tape. Miami's police chief Manny Morales assured locals that any protests would be handled with care, emphasizing the city's readiness to deal with demonstrations of any size.
"We are taking this event very seriously. While we understand that there may be some risks, that's not how things are done in Miami," explained Morales. "We have ample resources to handle crowds of anywhere from 5,000 to 50,000 people, so we're not anticipating any issues."
As the Left upped their political witch hunt against him, former President Trump continued to gain strength. Even with a federal indictment unveiled just the day before, he won the straw poll at the Western Conservative Summit with 40.3 percent of the support, besting GOP 2024 contender Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla) by 4.5 percentage points.
Co-chair of the summit, Jeff Hunt, highlighted what this suggests about Americans: they crave a president who won't give up the fight against the Democratic Party's relentless political vendetta.
Federal prosecutors have informed Donald Trump that he is a criminal target, alluding to his probable indictment shortly. This is part of an investigation into the alleged unauthorized use of classified documents. Simultaneously, the Justice Department has refused to postpone charges to allow investigating allegations of witness tampering which have been submitted by the former president's legal team. This information has been corroborated by several sources familiar with the matter.
This week, the Republican presidential candidate field grows by three. Former VP Mike Pence and ex-Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey have filed paperwork, while Governor Doug Burgum of North Dakota is expected to do so shortly.
Although Mr. DeSantis is trailing Mr. Trump by a significant 30 percentage points among national polls of Republican voters, one in four Republicans are still hunting for an alternative option to the two front-runners. Thus, a fierce competition to be that other option is emerging despite the seeming lack of competition.
Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) confirms rift with Steve Bannon is ongoing. In a text message to fellow Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Greene states that she and the conservative commentator will not reconcile. The text was obtained by The Daily Beast. Greene warns that she will take extreme action if he continues, stating “Steve and I aren’t getting back together. And if he keeps it up I’ll take the house and kids". #MarjorieTaylorGreene #SteveBannon #PoliticalNews
During an appearance on CNN's "State of the Union," Rep. Ken Buck, a member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, shared some unsolicited counsel with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Buck, a Colorado Republican, advised DeSantis, who's a GOP presidential hopeful, against trying to "out-Trump Donald Trump." Buck went on to suggest that DeSantis should instead lean on his record of accomplishments in Florida, particularly in his handling of COVID and other areas. Since launching his 2024 White House bid, DeSantis has increasingly directed his campaign rhetoric at Trump, who was once an ally he depended on to attain the governor's mansion.
Speaker McCarthy "and House Republicans secured a crucial first step toward bringing Washington Democrats' reckless spending to heel," Sen. Mitch McConnell added in his letter. Their solidarity made President Biden perform his duties. It will soon be the Senate's chance to approve this crucial accord.
Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) voiced support for the debt ceiling agreement between President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA). The bipartisan agreement, which includes budget components, is set to move forward for a full House vote Wednesday evening after gaining House Rules Committee approval. "Avoiding default is an absolute imperative," Schumer told reporters, adding that he plans to push the bill through quickly once it's passed the House.
The debt ceiling deal presents a challenge as Biden and McCarthy work to advance it through Congress. Their powers of persuasion will be put to the test as both parties' extreme wings are incensed about the agreement.
Twitter's anticipated live-streamed conversation between Elon Musk, Twitter CEO, and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, marking DeSantis' kickoff of his presidential candidacy, turned into a technical nightmare. Twitter Spaces suffered malfunctions such as crashing and echoing, resulting in an abrupt end to the event.
It was deemed a "disaster" by many on Twitter. For runners serious about sustaining enhanced speed and performance, incorporating strength training into their routine is crucial.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has become a controversial figure among some conservatives, as he balances his vocal commitment to freedom with actions that some see as a heavy-handed use of government power.
His efforts to combat "wokeness" and win over conservative supporters ahead of a potential 2024 presidential campaign have drawn criticism from GOP donors, influential voices, and even some within his base. As a result, many potential contenders for the Republican nomination are emphasizing their own approaches, which they argue are less top-down and more in line with the party's principles.
Ensuring citizens can express their voices is crucial. Political participation involves individuals contributing to the governing of their country to help ensure the government fulfills its role. By voting, campaigning, or even running in an election, people can make their opinions known. Such participation provides a means of communication between citizens and the government, enabling the government to understand the people’s desires.
Nearly two-thirds of U.S. adults are anxious about the economy if the government defaults on its debts by not increasing the U.S. debt limit, but this concern comes amidst a lack of understanding of the debt limit negotiations.
A recent poll showed that 60% of Americans think a rise in the debt limit should be paired with cost-cutting measures. In the survey, respondents were more unfavorable than favorable both towards President Biden and to congressional negotiators. Nevertheless, a slightly bigger number of Americans approve of Biden's handling than of the Republicans in Congress.
The House Judiciary Committee, along with the Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, revealed that FBI workers who spoke against the "politicized rot" were suspended or lost their security clearances. Fresh whistleblower accounts from several current and former FBI personnel were presented in an interim staff report released on Thursday, which exposed "abuses and misconduct in the FBI."
Americans should be angry at the media for dismissing the Durham Report because it has laid out a case of major political corruption within our government. The report documents numerous instances of wrongdoing that have serious implications for the public's trust in our institutions. Despite this, many outlets have dismissed or downplayed its findings, which is an affront to the millions
In his final 305-page report, John Durham does not suggest any new charges, but he does offer a harsh critique of the FBI's methodology in launching and carrying out the investigation, which was codenamed "Crossfire Hurricane."
"The objective facts show that the FBI's handling of important aspects of the Crossfire Hurricane matter were seriously deficient," Durham said, claiming the FBI had relied on "raw, unanalyzed, and uncorroborated intelligence."
In light of continuous discoveries of ethical concerns involving some justices, Planned Parenthood's president and chief executive officer, Alexis McGill Johnson, called for a larger Supreme Court bench.
In an interview with Jen Psaki on MSNBC's "Inside with Jen Psaki," McGill Johnson stated that recent attacks "on our democratic rights and our democratic freedoms" are the reason she is advocating for changes to the country's legal structure.
Kaitlin Collins repeatedly interrupted and disrespected Donald Trump during a New Hampshire Town Hall on Wednesday night. Most would expect the Town Hall to have questions from the audience, not a monologue of tested gotcha questions by the host
We are seeing tremendous attacks on First Amendment freedoms across the country right now, at all levels of government. Censorship is proliferating, and it’s deeply troubling
To begin, the proper care and resources would finally be widely available to all mental patients for an affordable price. In addition, it would make it so that the mentally ill who find themselves homeless or at risk of suffering from a mental break would have a place to go where they can be properly cared for.
Due to the tens of thousands of migrants waiting in Mexico and the quick spread of knowledge about U.S. policy changes by traffickers, U.S. authorities have said that they anticipate an increase in the number of border crossings after Title 42 expires.
After Title 42 is no longer in effect, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has warned Congress to be ready for as many as 10,000 migrants a day crossing the southern border. This is roughly twice the daily average in March. Without a significant shift in policy, other official estimates imply daily migrant numbers might reach 11,000 to 13,000.
By stationing its tanks on Moscow's Red Square, UKRAINE has sworn to put an end to its conflict with Russia. It would be justice for Vladimir Putin's invasion, according to Kyiv's security chief. Oleksiy Danilov, the head of the National Security and Defence Council, also referred to the Russian leader as "Hitler's twin." "Our tanks will be on Red Square, and that will be justice," said Danilov.
This month, former President Donald Trump will appear on CNN for a town hall interview with the network's emerging star, Kaitlan Collins. Republican and undecided voters who want to participate in New Hampshire's Republican presidential primary will be in attendance at the May 10 event, according to a press release.
While Miles Guo, the CCP's biggest critic, remains in jail without bail, both alleged CCP spies were released on bail. Jinping's bail was $400,000. Jianwang's was $250,000. Both bonds have three redacted co-signers. Brooklyn federal prosecutors unsealed another damning case on the 17th that shows the CCP has a special unit dedicated to spying on, harassing, and discrediting Guo in order to get him sent back to China, where he will be imprisoned or killed.
In that instance, over thirty Chinese national police were accused for harassing Chinese people in New York and other U.S. cities. The officials were accused of operating a troll farm that employed hundreds of phony identities to target Chinese nationals critical of the CCP in the U.S. The complaint lists Guo as "Victim 1."
Most Americans probably aren't aware of the impact of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), one of the biggest dangers to our economic and national security, which has already permeated practically every element of our culture.
The CCP is actively limiting free speech on American college campuses, coopting and corrupting American politicians and businesses, stealing priceless American research and development, and undermining the very foundations of our democratic republic. The CCP is supported by significant financial generosity and is run through innocent-sounding front organizations.
“I see that everybody is talking about the Republican Debates, but nobody got my approval, or the approval of the Trump Campaign, before announcing them,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “When you’re leading by seemingly insurmountable numbers, and you have hostile Networks with angry, TRUMP & MAGA hating anchors asking the ‘questions,’ why subject yourself to being libeled and abused?”
The sudden departures of Tucker Carlson from Fox News and Don Lemon from CNN have a lot in common: Both resulted from the anchors' constant stream of controversy and distraction for their networks, and both included the highest-profile personalities on their respective networks who believed themselves to be greater than their platforms.
The announcement of Joe Biden's reelection campaign might come within the next 48 hours. However, over 3 out of 4 Americans are rooting for a last-minute change of heart on his part.
In a new NBC News survey released on Sunday, just 26% of Americans support Biden's bid for a second term, while 70% of Americans oppose it. Age is cited as a factor by 69 percent of those opposed to the 80-year-old president seeking reelection, with 48 percent describing it as a "major" one.
Why is society so soft now? I'm all for being proper and respectful but people just seem overly sensitive lately to the point where any comment or joke could be criticized and it’s such a buzzkill to many.
In American politics, partisan polarisation has long been a reality. But more and more Republicans and Democrats have a poor opinion of both the opposition party and its members. A growing number of people in each party now think that those in the other party are more narrow-minded, dishonest, immoral, and stupid than the average American.
During a GOP-led House hearing in New York City on Monday, victims of violent crime in Manhattan laid most of the blame on District Attorney Alvin Bragg and his policies.
"Repeat offenders are plaguing New York City," said Rep. Jim Jordan, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. We've planned field hearings in several of our biggest cities this Congress to examine and expose how "soft on crime" policies harm families, communities, and small business owners. Where better to begin than New York City, where mindless acts of violence are captured on camera practically daily.
Whether or not you agree, political primaries weed out the weak so that the strong remain to take on the other party's strong candidate in a winner take all general primary. Everyone knows you alert voters to differences between you and your opponent in the primary, so why even play this weak card? We will discuss...
War with China would be unlike anything the United States has experienced before, therefore Washington authorities must take precautions to prevent accidentally starting one. People in the United States are used to seeing their armed forces deployed overseas. However, China represents a different kind of adversary, one with the military, economic, and technical might to cause widespread disruption in the United States at home.
The former US president spoke with Fox News host Tucker Carlson for the first time since being arrested in New York. In an interview, the Republican Party's prospective presidential contender stated that the US has lost global power since he left office. "You've got this crazy world, it's blowing up, and the US has no say," he told Carlson. "And Macron, a friend of mine, is in China, kissing his ass." Yes, in China! 'France is now heading to China,' I said.
Republicans are incensed that President Joe Biden's administration has mostly held Donald Trump responsible for the drawdown of American forces from Afghanistan.
The catastrophic US withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 was justified by a short assessment that the White House presented on Thursday. According to the report, Trump's demands "severely constrained" Biden's "choices for how to execute a withdrawal from Afghanistan."
After a report that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy blamed members of his leadership staff for the instability among Republicans over the budget, some incensed GOP lawmakers warn that McCarthy's career may be in jeopardy.
Numerous House Republicans stated that McCarthy's criticism of Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) and Budget Chair Jodey Arrington (R-Texas) undercuts their messages and prematurely sparks political squabbling.
By taking on both the Republican and Democratic Party elites, Donald Trump was able to win the president. For long have the concerns of millions of working- and middle-class American families been disregarded by the political elite of party leaders, hired consultants, lobbyists, donor-funded think institutes, and partisan media outlets.
The Manhattan district attorney's apparently minor accusations against Trump relating suspected hush money payments to conceal extramarital affairs miss the real crux of Trump's assault on our democratic constitutional system. Practically speaking, they might even make it harder to charge him with offenses that are more serious.
Also Scheduled To Appear: Nicole Tsai, a Member of New Federal State of China (NFSC), world’s largest anti-CCP movement.
Former President Donald Trump has recruited a top white-collar criminal defense attorney to defend him against Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's charge.
In an email obtained by Politico, Todd Blanche resigned from Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, saying, “I have been requested to represent Trump in the recently charged DA case, and after much thought/consideration, I have concluded it is the best thing for me to do and an opportunity I should not pass up.”
According to him, Donald Trump will arrive in New York on Monday night and appear in a Manhattan criminal court on Tuesday afternoon for his arraignment. Susan Necheles, his lawyer, assured Insider that his client's surrender "will be a simple one."
Insider previously reported that there would be no spectacular perp walk and that Trump would not be seen in handcuffs on the day of the deal. The ex-president will have his fingerprints taken, have his picture taken, and have his face swabbed for DNA.
Disney may still fight Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Disney's special taxing district's new board, appointed by the Republican governor, said Wednesday it is mulling legal action over a multi-decade pact made with the former board days before the state's hostile takeover last month.
Disney would retain control over much of its vast footprint in Central Florida for 30 years under the agreement, quietly approved on February 8 as Florida lawmakers met in special session to hand DeSantis control of the Reedy Creek Improvement District. In some cases, the board must get approval from the company before taking significant action.
“DeSantis is taking a bruising,” he said. “I used to think it was smart of him to stay quiet when he was just being governor and Trump started to hit him. He’s suffering. He is bleeding. [Trump] is painting him as this RINO, consultant-driven guy who doesn’t have what it takes. And Ron’s quiet about it. And if I were Ron, I would start talking because every day that goes by that Trump draws blood, by the time you get into an announcement situation, you’re going to be bloodied up.”
The suspect in a Nashville school shooting on Monday had prepared a thorough map of the campus, including potential entrance ways, and performed surveillance before killing three pupils and three adults in the latest mass shooting in a nation increasingly unsettled by school violence.
The shooting suspect, who was murdered by police, was a former student at Nashville's Covenant School. Authorities stated the shooter had a rifle, pistol, and handgun. At least two were legitimately obtained in Nashville.
The Florida governor is the most likely Republican nominee to fight former President Donald Trump in 2024. After Ukraine policy missteps and Trump's call for New York protests against his possible prosecution, DeSantis' early lead has faded.
DeSantis's recent troubles show two big weaknesses as he considers a 2024 bid. Governors seeking the White House often struggle with his foreign policy inexperience. The second is Trump's ability to rally GOP loyalists and reshape the agenda.

Fox News' Jesse Watters told his audience that the term "lock her up" was a joke, never meant to be taken seriously. For the millions that recited that chant, do you think they felt it was a joke or did they want Hillary Clinton locked up for Benghazi, Uranium One and other crrimes
Some of you may be overwhelmed by the digital world. Digital overload: What is it? By utilizing technological devices like cellphones, computers, or TV, you are exposed to more sensory data than you are able to process. You might exhibit symptoms of digital overload such as anger, anxiety, eyesight issues, trouble sleeping, and mood swings. Try keeping your screen usage outside of work to 2 hours each day to reduce your risk of digital overload. Also, you may disable notifications, schedule tech-free periods, and only use one device at once.
The House Judiciary Committee wants Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg to appear before Congress about his "extraordinary abuse of prosecutorial authority" as he contemplates indicting former President Trump for alleged hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels in 2016.
If allegations of a Trump indictment are true, Jordan warned Bragg that his actions "would damage confidence in the evenhanded application of law and unalterably intervene in the court of the 2024 presidential election."
On Sunday, New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) claimed the potential arrest of former President Trump in an investigation into alleged hush-money payments during the 2016 presidential race is developing sympathy for him.
“I simply think that not just the media, but truly, a lot of the Democrats have misplayed this in terms of garnering sympathy for the previous president and it does significantly shift the paradigm as we move into the ‘24 election,” Sununu said.
Senate Republicans are wincing over former President Trump’s early barrage of attacks against his chief rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), fearing they’re seeing a preview of a brutal primary to come that could leave both candidates weakened heading into the general election.
GOP lawmakers acknowledge DeSantis needs to show he can take a punch and aren’t shocked Trump would take hard shots at a rival as the campaign heats up.
When a Russian warplane hit a U.S. surveillance drone on Tuesday, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) urged shooting them down. The U.S. military shot down the MQ-9 Reaper drone in international Black Sea seas after the plane hit its propeller.
President Joe Biden has proposed a budget of $6.8 trillion, but a federal watchdog agency is finding flaws in the plan. In the event that Biden's budget is adopted, the national debt is projected to reach a historic 106% of GDP by 2027, according to an analysis by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.
On Sunday, the Biden administration assured Silicon Valley Bank customers that they would receive all their money on Monday. The government also closed Signature Bank, a regional bank that was near failure. Signature will provide a same incentive, returning even uninsured deposits on Monday.
The White House issued a rare rebuke of the late-night pundit, Fox News presenter Tucker Carlson, on Wednesday for his broadcasts of inaccurate descriptions of the attack that occurred on January 6, 2021.
Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy granted Tucker Carlson access to about 40,000 hours of US Capitol security camera footage, and Carlson has aired carefully picked scenes to portray the pro-Trump crowd as peaceful patriots. Carlson presented evidence that the Democrats and the House select committee that looked into the events of January 6 lied to the American people about what happened on that day.
Holding up a copy of the document, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) sharply criticized Carlson and Fox on Tuesday, stating he agreed with the Capitol Police Chief's assessment of what transpired on January 6.
One of the startling disclosures in a large batch of internal documents seen by POLITICO is that for years, the Department of Homeland Security has maintained a practically unknown program gathering domestic intelligence. The records also show that several DHS intelligence office workers have voiced worries that their work may violate the law.
Have you noticed that the federal government is the source of virtually all of the problems we face? They've set themselves up as the ruling class, telling us what to eat, watch, vote for, support, and cancel, and then pretending to remedy the problems they cause.
The Washington Post's Wednesday report on FBI-Justice Department tensions over the August raid of former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home is shocking. FBI officials urged caution, while DOJ prosecutors insisted on a surprise raid to find secret documents: Further evidence suggested Trump was willfully keeping secret records at his Palm Beach, Fla., residence, and prosecutors encouraged the FBI to perform a surprise raid. Two senior FBI officials who would conduct the search opposed it as too confrontational.
House Select Committee on Strategic Competition between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party holds its first hearing to address the CCP's potential threat to America.We need to be united. Can't let partisanship divide us. Partisanship is the biggest issue. It could take us down as a country. Whatever direction we choose we need to follow course, and while allowing for differences of opinion, we can't let the same things of the past happen again. America’s biggest priority should be rooting out its pro CCP activists. Their knowledge of the country puts them in a position to help Beijing the most with its plans to export terrorism
RNC chair Ronna McDaniel stated Sunday that Republican presidential hopefuls must support the eventual nominee to debate on the RNC stage. McDaniel says candidates must sign the commitment before the first primary debate in Milwaukee. But, former President Trump opposes the vow, citing his 2016 reluctance.
Paul Ryan, a former House Speaker, has announced that if former President Donald Trump wins the party's nomination, he will not attend the Republican National Convention in 2024. Ryan is already campaigning for the nominee to be anyone "not called Trump" even though the RNC has set the location of the Republican convention to be in his home state of Wisconsin.
Where will you be for the GOP convention in Milwaukee? inquired an ABC 12 reporter. Ryan answered, "It depends on who the candidate is. "If it's someone who isn't named Trump, I'll be here."
The House Oversight Committee demanded on Wednesday that the Pentagon, State Department and US Agency for International Development prove that the $113 billion in military and economic aid allocated to Ukraine isn’t being lost to “waste, fraud, and abuse.”
U.S. President Joe Biden and his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, have escalated rhetoric about the Ukraine war, amid fears the situation could spiral into World War 3. “Ukraine will never be a victory for Russia,” he added.
Earlier, Putin addressed lawmakers in Moscow, saying “the West is using Ukraine as a battering ram against Russia and as a testing range.” Putin said the West is planning to ramp up military supplies for Ukraine to turn around the tide of war in favour of Ukraine.
National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby repeatedly denied that the United States was involved in explosions that damaged the Nord Stream pipelines, speaking to Fox News.
“It’s a completely false story. There is no truth to it, Shannon,” Kirby told host Shannon Bream, when asked about an article by journalist Seymour Hersh alleging US involvement. “Not a shred of it. It is not true. The United States, and no proxies of the United States had anything to do with that, nothing.”
U.S. officials are warning China against supplying Russia with arms and ammunition, as Moscow allegedly struggles to gain ground in Ukraine despite deploying almost the entirety of its ground forces in its smaller neighbor.
Concerns that China was considering providing lethal assistance to Russia first surfaced in meetings between officials late last year and early this year, officials said. U.S. officials put their Chinese counterparts on notice in videoconferences and at in-person meetings that China is “nearing a red line” in assisting Russia’s war, the officials said.
American investigative journalist and political writer Seymour Hersh claimed that the September 2022 bombing of the undersea Nord Stream gas pipelines was carried out by the US in a covert operation, according to the findings of his investigation published in Substack. The White House's primary objective was to prevent Moscow from considerably boosting its income while simultaneously reducing the dependence of Western Europe, particularly Germany, on inexpensive Russian gas, said Hersh.
Biden and his imps and their allies are once again grandstanding and making headlines, while ignoring the more pressing issues plaguing American politics. It is disheartening to see the media frenzy over these actions instead of focusing on what truly matters.
Guest: Laura Loomer, twenty-eight, is the “most banned woman in the world.” She is also a Jewish Conservative investigative journalist, an activist, and a pathological truth-teller. The latter are responsible for the former, because her courageous reporting and activism have earned her many powerful enemies in Silicon Valley and the press.
MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell announced his candidacy to chair the Republican National Committee a few months ago and lost the election process over a week or so ago. What's next for the juggernaut entrepreneur? Where is he moving his resources next? Mike joins the show for the very first time.
Biden: "To my Republican friends, if we could work together in the last Congress, there is no reason we can’t work together in this new Congress. The people sent us a clear message. Fighting for the sake of fighting, power for the sake of power, conflict for the sake of conflict, gets us nowhere ... We’ve been sent here to finish the job!"
Four in 10 Americans say they've gotten worse off financially since Joe Biden became president, the most in ABC News/Washington Post polls dating back 37 years. Political fallout includes poor performance ratings for Biden and a tight hypothetical Biden/Trump rematch next year.
The Koch political machine, which fuels the most powerful donor network in conservative politics, is declaring itself as be part of the NeverTrump effort for 2024, aiming to deny former President Donald Trump a third nomination for the White House.
House Republican leaders are prepared to hold a vote as soon as Wednesday to remove Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) from the Foreign Affairs Committee. Plans to move ahead on the vote come after compromise language was included in a resolution to strip her from the panel, causing Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-Ind.) to drop her opposition to removing Omar from the panel.
More Americans name the government as the nation’s top problem in Gallup’s latest poll, which encompassed the rocky start of the 118th Congress’ term. With high prices persisting, inflation remains the second most-cited problem (15%), and amid elevated tensions about the southern U.S. border, illegal immigration edged up three percentage points to 11%. Mentions of the economy in general fell six points, to 10%, the lowest reading in a year.

Evangelical pastor Franklin Graham, a longtime supporter of former President Trump, says he will not endorse Trump — or any candidate — in the 2024 GOP presidential primary. “I’m going to stay out of it until after the primaries have finished,” Graham told CBS News on Friday at the March for Life rally in Washington, D.C.
McDaniel, the RNC chairwoman since 2017 and the niece of U.S. Sen. Mitt Romney, faces rebellion from those within former President Donald Trump’s "Make America Great Again" movement, including Trump attorney and RNC committeewoman Harmeet Dhillon, McDaniel's chief rival in her fight to be reelected.
The GOP in states such as Nebraska and Washington have backed Dhillon in her attempt to unseat the incumbent, the Hill reported, while McDaniel has received support from Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), a group of anti-abortion leaders, and more than 150 major GOP donors.
Some Bank of America members are in a frenzy due to allegedly missing funds in their accounts. Customers have taken to social media to share their disbelief when they checked their bank accounts on Jan. 18, due to an alleged outage impacting the systems of Bank of America and Zelle.
According to Downdetector, claims of Zelle’s outage increased drastically starting at 7 a.m. EST.
Don't get caught flat foot with the promise of a new day and still getting old results. DC lawmakers fill our heads with what they are going to do knowing that's not the solution many of us are looking for. We're looking for ground-shaking results that we can see and feel.
Most believe the US government is purposely distracting us from something important, but we're not sure what. Huge speculation was that Donald Trump was shake down the government until the government had their way with the 2020 election. What are we missing?
President Joe Biden's lawyers have found more classified documents at his residence in Wilmington, Delaware, deepening the crisis ahead of the expected launch of his 2024 reelection campaign.
Aides to President Joe Biden have discovered at least one additional batch of classified documents in a location separate from the Washington office he used after leaving the Obama administration, according to a person familiar with the matter.Since November, after the discovery of documents with classified markings in his former office, Biden aides have been searching for any additional classified materials that might be in other locations he used, said the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to provide details about the ongoing inquiry.
Attorney General Merrick Garland has assigned the U.S. attorney in Chicago to review documents marked classified that were found at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington, two sources with knowledge of the inquiry told CBS News. The roughly 10 documents are from President Biden's vice-presidential office at the center, the sources said. CBS News has learned the FBI is also involved in the U.S. attorney's inquiry.
The White House is REPORTEDLY working with the Justice Department as it reviews classified documents from when President Biden served as vice president that were found in a private office last fall.
Attorneys for Biden discovered the documents in November and notified the National Archives, Richard Sauber, special counsel to Biden, said in a statement. The Archives took possession of the materials the following morning and has since referred the matter to the Justice Department for further investigation.
After five days of chaos and 15 rounds of floor votes, newly elected Republican House speaker Kevin McCarthy is set to face an instant challenge on Monday as the House votes on a new rules package.
A handful of establishment Republicans indicated on Sunday they may withhold their support for the rules unless more details of concessions made to ultraconservative lawmakers during a week of torrid negotiations are unveiled.
Politics are supposed to take place in Congress. Representatives from various regions and with various interests are intended to work together to develop legislative solutions from the ground up. Legislation should be enacted at the culmination of a process of discovery, in committees empowered to evaluate expert and constituency debates. This procedure fosters agreement. It allows the people to hear and be heard from opposing viewpoints.
All of this is reversed in the Pelosi model. Legislative priorities, including massive undebated omnibus budget measures, are almost totally hammered out by the speaker and Senate majority leader and then delivered to legislators as unchangeable stone tablets. And, because Congress' dysfunction contributes to hyper-partisanship, legislators are expected to vote along party lines.
Republican leader Kevin McCarthy failed in marathon voting Tuesday to become House speaker, a historic defeat with no clear way out as House Republicans dug in for a long, messy start for the new Congress.
Needing 218 votes in the full House, McCarthy got just 203 in two rounds — less even than Democrat Hakeem Jeffries in the GOP-controlled chamber. A third ballot quickly commenced as night fell on the new House GOP majority, tensions rising as all other business came to a halt.
Then, various media outlets said, he also lost Round 3. Having lost 19 GOP votes in the first two rounds, this time he lost 20, putting the top spot even further out of reach. (He could afford to lose only 5.) At least one earlier supporter, Rep. Byron Donalds, had reportedly switched to support for Rep. Jim Jordan.
Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is so confident that he will be the next Speaker of the House that he is already moving his belongings into the Speaker's suite, according to a report.
Newsmax congressional correspondent Logan Ratick broke the news to host Bob Sellers on Monday.
"We do know that Kevin McCarthy is moving all of his belongings into the Speaker's suite, but if he loses and is not eventually the Speaker of the House, he'll have to move all of that stuff out," Ratnick reported from the House.
"That would be embarrassing," Sellers noted.
The January 6 special committee on Wednesday decided to withdraw its subpoena of former President Trump as it concludes its work. Trump's testimony was no longer needed, according to the panel's chairman, Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS). Thompson noted in a letter to Trump's attorneys: "In light of the imminent end of our investigation, the Select Committee can no longer pursue the specific information covered by the subpoena."
He added, "Therefore, through this letter, I hereby formally withdraw the subpoena issued to former President Trump, and notify you that he is no longer obligated to comply or produce records in response to said subpoena."
President Biden on Tuesday said that while the end to the Title 42 border policy is “overdue,” for now it has to be enforced, after the Supreme Court ordered that it must remain in place. In a 5-4 vote, the high court earlier on Tuesday reversed an order from a federal judge in Washington, D.C., who ruled last month that the Trump-era border policy must end. It also set a date for oral arguments in the case for February, with a final decision expected in June.
“The court is not going to decide until June, apparently, and in the meantime, we have to enforce it. But I think it’s overdue,” Biden told reporters when asked about the high court’s decision.
Republican Sens. Ron Johnson (Wis.) and Mike Lee (Utah) slammed Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and their GOP colleagues on Sunday for supporting the $1.7 trillion omnibus package that Congress sent to President Biden’s desk on Friday.
The GOP senators had argued it would have been better to wait for the GOP to take control of the House in January to pass an omnibus bill, arguing this would have given Republicans more leverage.
Trust in the federal government's handling of international problems has fallen nine percentage points since last year to a record-low 39%, and now matches the level of trust for its handling of domestic problems -- one of only a few times that has occurred.
Confidence in the three branches of the federal government is low on a relative basis. Although a 54% majority of U.S. adults trust the judicial branch, this is down 13 points compared with 2020.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is preparing to visit Washington on Wednesday, according to three AP sources, in his first known trip outside the country since Russia’s invasion began in February.
Two congressional sources and one person familiar with the matter confirmed plans for the visit. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the highly sensitive nature of the trip. They said Zelenskyy’s visit, while expected, could still be called off at the last minute due to security concerns.
An Arizona judge has dismissed most of Kari Lake’s election lawsuit contesting the victory of her opponent, Gov.-elect Katie Hobbs (D), after Lake for weeks seized on unproven voter fraud allegations.
Lake had asked the judge to set aside Hobbs’s certified victory based on 10 counts, alleging election officials in Maricopa County — which comprises most of the state’s population — committed misconduct and tabulated hundreds of thousands of illegal ballots.
Former President Trump declined to endorse a candidate for next month’s election to determine the chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC). Ronna McDaniel, who has led the committee since 2017, is running for a third term but faces a challenge from RNC member Harmeet Dhillon, an attorney who has represented Trump.
“I think they’re both good. I like them both,” Trump told Breitbart in an interview published on Saturday.
Former President Donald Trump shared on Wednesday that he would be making a “MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT” on Thursday.
Trump teased the announcement on his Truth Social platform. Although he didn’t explicitly say what it would be about, he did say that “AMERICA NEEDS A SUPERHERO!”
Government funding runs out at midnight Friday, and lawmakers must pass a short-term funding measure, known as a continuing resolution, this week in order to prevent a shutdown. The House is expected to pass a weeklong stopgap spending bill on Wednesday that would keep the government’s lights on through Dec. 23 to give negotiators and lawmakers enough time to pass the omnibus package. The Senate would advance the bill on its own shortly after.
FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried was arrested by Bahamian authorities this evening after the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York shared a sealed indictment with the Bahamian government, setting the stage for extradition and U.S. trial for the onetime crypto billionaire at the heart of the crypto exchange’s collapse.
Chinese leader Xi Jinping vowed on Friday to import more oil and natural gas from energy-rich Gulf Arab states while not interfering in their affairs, likely seeking to cast Beijing in a more favorable light than Washington as America’s attention in the region wanes.
Members of the New Democrat Coalition (NDC) called for Congress to pass legislation protecting Dreamers before the end of the lame-duck session at the end of this month, calling the immigration reform an “urgent action” for legislators.
“The stakes are too high for inaction,” the lawmakers wrote. “As their fate hangs in the balance, we are committed to working with our colleagues in the House and Senate to pass bipartisan legislation before the end of the year that gives Dreamers the stability and security they’ve been waiting for and that they deserve.”
Democrats have filled their hearts and minds with HATE for Trump and his supporters. Keep in mind that this isn't about Trump. This is about destroying the opposition that Trump's supporters produce. This is about establishing one party rule and destroying anyone who stands in their way. Hate corrodes and rots everything that contains it. We are seeing what that hate has done to the democrats that have filled themselves with it for generation after generation.
New York City cops and mental health clinicians who engage emotionally disturbed people on streets and subways will now be armed with a much broader interpretation of state law to institutionalize those who pose a risk to themselves or others.
That broader, more defined legal reading will likely result in the city placing more mentally ill homeless people into hospitals against their will.
Mayor Adams announced Tuesday that he issued a new directive to city agencies clarifying the way first responders and other city workers should approach those exhibiting acute mental distress — and what steps city employees are permitted to take to remove those people from a public space against their will.
Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry says the public is "going to be shocked" when it learns how little Dr. Anthony Fauci could recall during last week's deposition about "some of the most important actions and discussions" when he was chief medical adviser to Presidents Trump and Biden during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"I think that the public is going to be shocked as to how much Dr. Fauci can’t recall some of the most important actions and discussions that he had at the time, when the pandemic was on our shores," the Republican AG said in an interview with Fox News Digital. "It is certainly disturbing. And calls into question, you know, his overall mental capability to remember certain key details."
Herschel Walker and Raphael Warnock were forced to keep campaigning through to the Dec. 6 runoff after neither candidate won more than 50 percent of the vote in their closely watched midterm general election, and have since ramped up their campaign ads and fundraising efforts.
A Warnock win would mean Democrats increase their razor-thin majority in the Senate, while a Walker victory would keep their total to 50 seats, with the tiebreaker vote from Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.
Former House Speaker Paul Ryan during an interview that aired on Sunday said Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California was "good for conservatives," arguing that there's no one "better suited" to lead the House GOP conference.
McCarthy, who is poised to become speaker in January in a House with a razor-thin GOP majority, is working to round up the requisite votes needed to run the lower chamber, but has hit stumbling blocks with several Freedom Caucus members, including Reps. Andy Biggs of Arizona and Matt Gaetz of Florida, vowing not to support him.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) reiterated his pledge to remove Democratic Reps. Eric Swalwell (Calif.), Adam Schiff (Calif.) and Ilhan Omar (Minn.) from their committee posts if he becomes Speaker in the next Congress.
McCarthy told Fox News “Sunday Morning Futures” host Maria Bartiromo that he would remove Swalwell and Schiff from their posts on the House Intelligence Committee, accusing them of being compromised or biased.
Senate Republicans voted Wednesday to elect Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) as their leader over National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman Rick Scott (R-Fla.), who announced his desire to replace McConnell at an acrimonious conference meeting Tuesday.
A large majority of GOP senators voted to elect McConnell leader after a motion backed by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and other conservatives to delay the leadership election until after the Dec. 6 Georgia Senate runoff failed.
Former President Donald Trump announced a third run for the White House on Tuesday night at his Palm Beach estate in Florida. Addressing a crowd of supporters in an ornate event hall at his Mar-a-Lago residence, Trump told them he will run for president again in 2024 to finish what he started in 2017. “America’s comeback starts right now,” he told a cheering audience, before denouncing President Joe Biden.
“Are you getting ready?” he asked the audience, which responded with cheers.
Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA) said it is a “risky” and “bad strategy” to try and challenge Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) for speaker of the House.
In response to the reports of Rep. Andy Bigg (R-AZ) possibly challenging McCarthy for the speakership, Greene said during an appearance on Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast, “I actually think that’s a bad strategy when we’re looking at having a very razor-thin majority, with potentially 219 [seats], we’re talking about one vote.”
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said on Sunday that Senate Republicans should delay leadership elections set for Wednesday, joining other GOP lawmakers pushing for a pause at least until the Georgia Senate race is decided.
“In light of #GASen runoff, it would be appropriate to delay Senate leadership elections until we know who is in the Senate Republican Conference,” Graham wrote in his tweet. “I totally agree with Senator @TedCruz that to do otherwise would be disrespectful to @HerschelWalker.”
Walker is seeking to oust Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) in the runoff, although Democrats secured control of the Senate with a win in Nevada declared on Saturday.
Speaking to reporters at the White House Wednesday afternoon, President Joe Biden celebrated the 2022 midterm elections as a "good night" for Democrats and doubled down on his agenda."We're just getting started," Biden said. "I'm not going to change direction."
Given full election results were not complete at the time of his remarks, Biden conceded he may have to work with a Republican House majority and urged cooperation.
McCarthy, the House GOP leader, was running for Speaker of the House while attempting to create a red tsunami, but it never materialized. In a GOP-led Congress, NRCC Chair Tom Emmer was attempting to establish himself as the House Majority Whip. However, he and the committee he oversaw merely managed to secure enough seats to put someone in charge of the party.
The national GOP political machine is also inextricably linked to the former president, who, prior to the election, disseminated a letter exaggerating the number of rallies, candidate endorsements, funding totals, and primary victories for which he claimed responsibility.
You have the power to make key decisions on the quality of life you want for yourself, your family, and your community. Voting is your chance to stand up for the issues you care about like affordable housing, economic justice, environmental protection, and quality education.
While Presidential or other national elections draw significant attention, midterm and local elections typically see less voter turnout. A Portland State University study found that fewer than 15% of eligible voters were turning out to vote for Mayors, Council Members, and other local offices.
Low turnout means that important local issues are determined by a limited group of voters, making a single vote even more statistically meaningful. While certain propositions may be popular, and therefore seem like a sure thing, they can fail if people stay home.
Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen predicted disastrous results for her party — and she said that they only had themselves to blame after repeatedly failing to “listen to voters” in the weeks and months leading up to Tuesday’s midterm elections.
Rosen joined a panel discussion, moderated by host Dana Bash, on CNN’s “State of the Union” — and she predicted that Democrats were likely to have “a bad night” on Tuesday, largely because they had not tailored their midterm message to the issues that voters had said were most important — namely inflation and the economy.
Biden urged a crowd of supporters at a Democratic National Committee event inside Union Station in Washington, D.C. not to take the election for granted. The president argued that Democrats had to show up at the polls because Republicans could not be entrusted with political power.
"We're facing a defining moment," said Biden. "We must with one overwhelming, unified voice speak, as a country and say there's
MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace played the ad for Fanone and Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA). The former cop and frequent CNN guest responded by blasting Lake.
“I’ve gotten to know Mrs. Sicknick pretty well and I thought that was a powerful ad,” Fanone said. “She is out there, I think, trying to do what all of us are trying to do here, which is bring accountability for January 6. And, you know. I also support the fact that Kari Lake’s a piece of shit, so I’m glad she did that ad.” Wallace laughed
Such claims from Jean-Pierre are particularly rich, as the White House and Biden administration were certainly lacking when it comes to the assassination plot against Justice Brett Kavanaugh following the leak of the Dobbs v. Jackson decision in early May. Both Jean-Pierre and her predecessor, Jen Psaki, downplayed the illegal protests at the home of conservative justices, with Psaki even saying they "encourage" them.
All 435 seats are on the ballot, but control of the House will come down to several dozen races. Democrats currently control the chamber narrowly, 220 to 212, with three seats vacant. A party needs 218 seats for a majority if there are no vacancies.
Due to Pennsylvania’s ban on pre-canvassing of mail-in ballots, there may be a delay in the announcement of the results. Following allegations of threats to Pennsylvania’s elections, the state is coordinating with the FBI and U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Voters are urged to submit their votes back as soon as they can.
Georgia saw record early voting turnout for this year’s midterms. Karine Jean-Pierre said blacks are still being suppressed but she couldn’t name any voter suppression in Georgia.
“Of course, high turnout and voter suppression can take place at the same time. They don’t have to be – one doesn’t have to happen on its own,” Karine Jean-Pierre said. Karine Jean-Pierre wouldn’t say if Joe Biden was wrong to compare Georgia voting law to “Jim Crow.”
Jean-Pierre lauded Biden for a bipartisan gun law reform bill he signed into law in June.
“So, that is something because of the president’s leadership, he was able to do,” she said. “And so he’s going to continue to work on that. Remember, 30 years ago he was one of the leaders to ban assault weapons, so he knows what it means to get it done. He knows the work that needs to be done to get that done.”
Jean-Pierre then said the November midterms will be a “choice” voters will have to make about whihc direction they want the country to go
House Democrat Whip Jim Clyburn claims Democrats KNEW their wasteful spending would cause inflation — but they did it anyway.
More than half of all registered voters see the mainstream media as a threat to American democracy, according to a new poll.
A New York Times-Siena College poll published Tuesday found 59 percent of voters view the media as a “major threat to democracy,” while 25 percent said the press is a “minor threat” and only 15 percent said it poses no threat.
Monday marked day one of early voting in Georgia, where two hotly contested races for governor and for a Senate seat will be decided next month. Already, voter turnout in the state has smashed previous records.
Georgia's WSV-TV reports that, according to the the Georgia Secretary of State's office, more than 100,000 Georgians had cast their ballots early as of 4:15 p.m. on Monday. "This blows away the previous midterm first-day record of approximately 72,000, and we have lots of voting to go today," elections official Gabe Sterling told the outlet.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is expressing extreme confidence in his chances of becoming Speaker next year if Republicans win control of the House in the midterm elections, suggesting that divine intervention is the only thing that can keep him from the gavel.
McCarthy said in an interview with Punchbowl News published Monday that he believes he can win the votes of the House Republican Conference no matter how large a GOP majority is, that the prospect of losing does not keep him up at night, and that if he doesn’t win, it wasn’t in “God’s plan.”
After OPEC+ announced the decision, White House officials said the U.S. would reassess its relationship with Saudi Arabia.
"We believe by the decision that OPEC+ made last week, [Saudi Arabia is] certainly aligning themselves with Russia," White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said during a press briefing this week. "And right now, this is not the time to be aligning with Russia, especially with this brutal, unprecedented war that they started in Ukraine."
Just about every election cycle, there’s an argument for why, this time, things might be different — different from expectations based on historical trends and key factors like the state of the economy or the president’s approval rating.
The arguments are often pretty plausible. After all, every cycle is different. There’s almost always something unprecedented about a given election year — in just the last few cycles, the pandemic, the first female presidential major party nominee and the first Black president were all truly novel. There’s always a way to spin up a rationale for why old rules won’t apply.
Joe Biden pledged to Ukraine President Volodomyr Zelenskiy on Monday that the United States will provide Ukraine with advanced air systems after a devastating missile barrage from Russia. Biden spoke by phone with Zelenskiy to give assurances about continued U.S. support and to condemn the "senseless attacks" from Russia that hit civilian targets.
"Biden pledged to continue providing Ukraine with the support needed to defend itself, including advanced air defense systems," a White House statement on the phone call said.
Two people were shot outside the Long Island home of Lee Zeldin, the Republican nominee in the race for governor of New York, on Sunday afternoon.
Zeldin, a former congressman representing Long Island, said in a statement his 16-year-old daughters were inside doing homework when shots rang out. At the time, Zeldin and his wife Diana were driving home from the Bronx Columbus Day Parade at Morris Park.
In an effort to boost its policies and chart a path to the future ahead of the November midterm elections , the White House released the Biden-Harris Economic Blueprint. The 58-page document showcases a five-part plan that will build on “historic legislative successes” and “executive actions” that the administration claims have rebuilt the economy “now and for years ahead.”
But a close reading of the self-promotional Sept. 9, 2022, blueprint reveals that, like the American Rescue Plan Act, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and the misnamed Inflation Reduction Act, the policies promoted in the Economic Blueprint will increase spending and regulation, make the government larger and more intrusive, and consolidate power in the hands of federal bureaucrats at the expense of state autonomy.
The United States should be absolutely booming right now. The US just came out of the pandemic and is now in a recession, inflation is sky high and gas prices are again increasing. Eggs are at 40% higher under this administration and most groceries are 15-30% higher because of these ridiculous handouts Democrats keep giving trying to buy votes!
This insanity when a recession has officially started is like lighting a fire and standing in the middle of it while tipping a can of gas onto yourself. That’s what democrats are doing right now to this situation.
The Biden administration has held off on a request from Ukraine to provide longer-range missiles over fears it could provoke a dangerous response from Russia, with senior Pentagon officials opposed to the idea, according to two military officials.
Defense officials who have advised against supplying Ukraine with the longer-range missiles, known as Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMs), have voiced concerns that the missiles could be used against targets inside Russian territory and potentially set off a wider war with Russia
Vice President Kamala Harris noted that Hurricane Ian relief efforts should focus on “giving resources based on equity” to “communities of color” in the aftermath of the deadly category five hurricane.
Crowds of students walked out of Northern Virginia faculties on Tuesday in protest of Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s proposed restrictions on transgender college students’ rights.
Youngkin’s proposed coverage would prohibit which pronouns college students could use and require academics to disclose a pupil’s identification to their mother and father with out the scholar’s permission.
Midterm elections are nearing, the outcome remains close, and many readers are eagerly — perhaps obsessively — watching the latest polls, trying to ascertain whether their side will prevail.
With just a little more than seven weeks left in the fall campaigns, flocks of surveys on those and other close races have started to fly into view, touted in fundraising emails, bannered in headlines and clamoring for the attention of voters — many of whom say they mistrust polls even as they can’t stop looking at them.
This November's US elections are called "midterms" because the come in the middle of the president's four-year term in office.
While the president isn't on the ballot, the midterms are seen as the American voters' verdict on how the president is going and can have a major impact on their ability to legislate and govern.
The vast majority of Americans — 7 in 10 — do not believe politicians are informed enough about abortion to craft fair policies, according to a new 19th News/SurveyMonkey poll.
That distrust spans the political aisle: 70 percent of Republicans and 74 percent of Democrats said politicians were insufficiently informed about abortion. It was also consistent across men, women and gender-nonconforming Americans.
The resilience of US democracy is being put to the test. As foreign autocrats resort to increasingly brazen forms of repression to entrench themselves in office and support authoritarian influences around the world, undemocratic forces in the United States have engaged in their own efforts to undermine institutions that are designed to check their power and protect the rights of all Americans. To reignite the promise of US democracy and safeguard their freedoms and long-term interests, Americans must rise above partisan divisions, renew their shared commitment to fundamental democratic principles, and bolster rules and structures that maximize the common good.
The chaos at the southern border grew in August, according to new numbers the Department of Homeland Security released Monday that showed record levels of fentanyl and illegal immigrants being smuggled into the U.S. The fentanyl numbers were particularly troubling, setting yet another monthly record and topping July, which was already the worst month by far and Customs and Border Protection said it nabbed 203,597 people at the border last month and has now encountered more than 2 million illegal immigrants in fiscal 2022, which still has a month to go. It’s the sixth straight month that encounters topped 200,000.
The current Congress is not going to provide another stimulus check. The last payment, authorized by the American Rescue Plan Act, was passed along party line votes through a special process called reconciliation. There is no further opportunity to pass legislation this way until after the election, and there is not broad enough support to get a bill through that would authorize a fourth payment.
Your best chance for a fourth stimulus check is to get one from your state. Almost half of states across the U.S. have issued payments or will soon do so. The rules for when you become eligible vary depending where you live, so check with local officials to find out if a payment is due.
By advocating for a nationwide abortion ban during the 15th week of pregnancy on Tuesday, Senator Lindsey Graham gave the Biden administration a news cycle diversion away from inflation. Graham's proposal is meant to be a countermeasure to Democratic legislation that, in his words, "would essentially permit abortion up to the time of birth."
While making exceptions for cases of rape, incest, and pregnancies that endanger the health of the mother, it outlaws abortions beyond 15 weeks. All fine and good, but the law is guaranteed to cause rifts among Republican senators, some of whom fervently hold the view that abortion, while unquestionably a morally significant problem, is a matter for the states under the constitution.
Far too many Americans in each consecutive generation seek importance by dogmatically championing a society-changing or mankind-saving cause. Many of these single-minded dupes don't care about other leftist issues. Once the left takes over a cause, anarchy and abandonment of the original aim ensue.
Leftists appropriate causes in three steps. 1) They falsely pretend to be irrevocably dedicated to the cause. 2) They hijack a justified movement and install their allies in charge. 3) They start a demagoguery campaign and organize aggressive marches and rallies, purportedly for the cause but really to scare the public.
The hottest inflation in four decades is inflicting financial pain on a majority of Americans as the cost of everyday necessities remains stubbornly high, according to a new survey published by Gallup.
About 56% of respondents said they are feeling the sting of price increases, up from 49% in January and 45% in November. The latest figure includes 12% of Americans who described the pain as "severe," and 44% who called it "moderate."
The Federal Reserve is on track to deliver an instant payment service called FedNow between May and July 2023, the central bank's clearest timeline yet for a new system enabling settlement of U.S. payments in seconds.
“The FedNow Service will transform the way everyday payments are made throughout the economy, bringing substantial gains to households and businesses through the ability to send instant payments at any time on any day, and the funds being immediately available to recipients to make other payments or manage cash flow efficiently,” Fed Vice Chair, Lael Brainard, said in a speech Monday.
“I hold two contradictory things [in mind] at the same time. One is just the relentless belief that anything is possible. But at the same time, my experience here has given me a front-row seat to how deeply and unconsciously, as well as consciously, so many people in this country hate women. And they hate women of color,” said Ocasio-Cortez. “People ask me questions about the future. And realistically, I can’t even tell you if I’m going to be alive in September. And that weighs very heavily on me. And it’s not just the right wing. Misogyny transcends political ideology: left, right, center. This grip of patriarchy affects all of us, not just women; men, as I mentioned before, but also, ideologically, there’s an extraordinary lack of self-awareness in so many places. And so those are two very conflicting things. I admit to sometimes believing that I live in a country that would never let that happen.”
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stepped into a hornet’s nest of mockery on Twitter Friday after stating that the U.S. has added "ten thousand million jobs" since President Biden took office.
In addition to praising the overall job increase under Biden since his inauguration, Jean-Pierre referred to this as "excellent news." "Knowing that the economy added 315,000 jobs in August is fantastic news; this is significant. Since President Biden's election, we have added almost ten million jobs, which is the fastest rate of job growth in history."
Nearly two-thirds of Americans believe that political violence will increase in the upcoming years, which contrasts with the widespread worry that democracy is in danger. Additionally, since 2021, the fraction of people who share such opinion has been increasing even more.
“The president thinks there’s an extremist threat to our democracy,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said at a press briefing in what appeared to be a preview of the president’s remarks, which he will make from Philadelphia’s iconic Independence Hall.
The speech will focus on a “battle for the soul of the nation,” according to the White House. The theme is an allusion to Biden’s 2019 announcement that he was seeking the presidency, a campaign that he said in a video was inspired by the white supremacist riot in Charlottesville, Va., two years before.
The White House is responding to relentless Republican charges that it wants to "defund the police" by embracing the message that there are, in fact, politicians angling to starve law enforcement of needed money: congressional Republicans. The White House launched the counteroffensive as advisers push to shore up President Joe Biden's low approval on crime and fight an attack that could damage Democrats in the midterm elections next year.
A rental crisis is reaching a peak as nationwide eviction moratoriums and rent payment aid programs wind down. As of the end of August, roughly 8.5 million people were behind on their rent payments, according to the Census Bureau. About 3.8 million of those renters are concerned about being evicted within the next two months.
Rents, meanwhile, are on the rise and crossed the $2,000 mark for the first time in June. Zillow reports that rents have climbed by about 25% in the year prior to the pandemic, and 15% in the year since.
"Economic conditions are likely a major contributing factor to these worsening scores," says Gallup, adding, "Dovetailing with economic headwinds is a rising discontentment with U.S. moral values, which has reached a record high, with 50% of Americans reporting the state of moral values is "poor" and 37% only fair," a sentiment that could be negatively influencing life ratings generally.
Biden announced Wednesday plans to give $10,000 for borrowers making less than $125,000 annually. Pell Grant recipients will receive $20,000 in debt handouts provided their income is below the $125,000 threshold. Administration officials claim that no individual or household in the top 5% of earners will benefit from the decision.
The White House is also extending pause on student loan payments through the end of the year. Coinciding with the announcement is a new Education Department proposal that allows borrowers to cap undergraduate loan repayment at 5% of their monthly income.
"I don't think it's irreparably damaged anyone," says Anthony Fauci when asked if he regrets the forced lockdowns that kept kids out of school. "People selectively pull things out about me."
The Kettle Moraine School Board voted last Tuesday in favor of keeping a code of conduct in place that the school's superintendent had interpreted as banning teachers from displaying political and religious messages in classrooms. The political messages include ones such as gay pride flags, BLM flags and "We Back the Badge" signs. Only one school board member voted against the ban, saying he made the decision after speaking with concerned students and staff.
According to a significant new study, Americans believe that "threats to democracy" are the most pressing problem before the midterm elections in November.
Voters were asked: "What do you believe is the most critical issue confronting the country?" in an NBC News poll that was released on Sunday.
Their response? Democracy is under threat. 21 percent of voters perceive that to be the most crucial issue going into the election this fall. Next, at 16 percent, was cost of living. Jobs and the economy came in second with 14%, immigration third with 13%, and climate change fourth with 9%.
Former Vice President Mike Pence stated on Wednesday that if invited, he would think about appearing before the House of Representatives committee looking into the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Pence's advisers claimed to the panel in June that former President Donald Trump put pressure on the vice president to reverse his loss in the 2020 election. On Wednesday, Pence stated during a speech in New Hampshire that he would give any request to testify "serious consideration."
Ingraham: People conflate Trump with people’s overall sense of happiness in the country. Donald Trump’s been a friend of mine for 25 years, and I’m always very open about this on my show. But, you know, we’ll see whether that’s what the country wants. The country I think is so exhausted, they’re exhausted by the battle, the constant battle, that they may believe that, well, maybe it’s time to turn the page if we can get someone who has all Trump’s policies, who’s not Trump. Right?
Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, Donald Trump’s fiercest Republican adversary in Congress, was defeated in a GOP primary Tuesday, falling to a rival backed by the former president in a rout that reinforced his grip on the party’s base.
The third-term congresswoman and her allies entered the day downbeat about her prospects, aware that Trump’s backing gave Harriet Hageman considerable lift in the state where he won by the largest margin during the 2020 campaign. Cheney was already looking ahead to a political future beyond Capitol Hill that could include a 2024 presidential run, potentially putting her on another collision course with Trump.
Former President Trump on Sunday called on the FBI to return documents reportedly seized at Mar-a-Lago that are protected by attorney-client and executive privileges.
“Oh great!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“It has just been learned that the FBI, in its now famous raid of Mar-a-Lago, took boxes of privileged ‘attorney-client’ material, and also ‘executive’ privileged material, which they knowingly should not have taken,” Trump continued.
Some Justice Department officials believe the department should provide a public statement about the unprecedented search of former President Donald Trump’s home and club in Florida, a view that so far hasn’t changed the silence from the top.
Attorney General Merrick Garland has tightly limited the Justice Department’s public statements about investigations, particularly the sprawling January 6 criminal probe and especially anything having to do with the former president.
We are learning more about an FBI search warrant executed at former President Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate. Multiple sources tell CBS News the search was connected to White House records.
Donald Trump claimed “America has now become one of those Countries,” and was “corrupt at a level not seen before.”
He added, “They even broke into my safe! What is the difference between this and Watergate, where operatives broke into the Democrat National Committee? Here, in reverse, Democrats broke into the home of the 45th President of the United States.”
It's here. The Congress is gone for the month of August and the liberal media have no stories. So expect them to rewrite the history books in an attempt to help Democratic candidates in the upcoming midterms.
Whether it's Ukraine-Russia, COVID shots, Taiwan support, Roe v Wade inactivity, or if he has cancer or not, this administration is heavy into the confusion and impotence and that continues to hurt the progress of the country
Kansas voters on Tuesday sent a resounding message about their desire to protect abortion rights, rejecting a ballot measure in a conservative state with deep ties to the anti-abortion movement that would have allowed the Republican-controlled Legislature to tighten restrictions or ban the procedure outright.
It was the first test of voter sentiment after the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in June that overturned the constitutional right to abortion, providing an unexpected result with potential implications for the coming midterm elections.
A new study claims that bidenflation is affecting all Americans.
According to new data from LendingClub, 61% of all Americans will be living paycheck to paycheck in June 2022, with 36% of those making over $200,000 falling into this category. For all Americans, that number has increased from the previous year's 55 percent.
If you are an Unaffiliated Voter you have power before an election. You don't have to pay the two major political parties anything and do not have to be subject to their divisive games. If would like to vote in a primary election, you can choose either Democratic or Republican Party on the day of the primary and then may then vote on the voting machine.
Once you declare affiliation to a party, you remain affiliated, unless you make a specific request to become an unaffiliated voter again. Choosing this makes the candidate work harder which is more important.
According to two persons with knowledge of the situation, the Biden administration is anticipated to declare monkeypox a public health emergency in the upcoming days.
The World Health Organization's judgment from last weekend would be followed by the Department of Health and Human Services' announcement. According to the law that specifies how and when the federal government can declare such an emergency, HHS might then take a number of actions, including obtaining fresh funding and assigning new people.
In a poll conducted in January and February, 24% of Democratic and Democratic-leaning respondents stated that they want someone else because they don't believe Biden can win in 2024. The percentage of people who don't want Biden to be reelected has increased from 16 percent earlier this year to 32 percent. 25 percent of respondents indicated they preferred Biden as the nominee, a sharp decline from the 45 percent who said the same in January/February.
The poll reveals a dramatic decline in support for the President's 2024 reelection effort. In January and February, 51% of Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters said they preferred a different candidate than Biden as the party's 2024 presidential contender.
Regardless of whether the White House says publicly that a recession is probable, many fear that the U.S. economy cannot maintain stability. A highly anticipated economic report, including the second quarter GDP numbers, will release this week that may display data pointing to a recession, despite near-record low unemployment.
Political groups and nonprofits aligned with the Democratic Party have spent nearly $44 million on advertising campaigns across five states’ Republican primaries to boost the profile of far-right candidates in California, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Maryland.
Democrats strategy is rooted in the belief that these candidates — many of whom spread unfounded claims that the 2020 presidential race was stolen from former President Donald Trump — will be easier to defeat in a general election. Democratic spending has helped secure Republican nominations for candidates in Illinois and Pennsylvania.
Biden was speaking in Somerset, Massachusetts, where he announced new climate change initiatives in front of the site of a shuttered power plant. The location will now be used to harness offshore wind power.
In the year since she announced her candidacy for governor, Kari Lake has become the face of the new Arizona state Republican party. Lake, who has received the endorsement of former President Donald Trump, resonates with Republican voters who feel they were kicked to the curb after the 2020 election and COVID.
“Many people are led to believe that the other side is driven by hatred and is out to get them,” Lee says. “Hatred only breeds hatred, so by showing that there is really no clear evidence for hatred of the other party trumping everything, I am hoping we can clear up some of the misperceptions people have about how much they are hated by their political opponents, and by extension, discourage people from feeding their own hostility in response to exaggerated perceptions of hostility coming from the other side.”
Political polarization in America may be at its highest point in decades. Sometimes, it can seem like Republicans and Democrats hate their political opponents more than they love their own side. However, a new study finds that hatred doesn’t run as deep as many may think. Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania say negative partisanship is largely exaggerated — with political agents and the media mainly responsible for stoking those flames.
A Federal Reserve economic survey released Wednesday pointed to elevated recession fears along with a belief that soaring inflation will last at least through the end of the year.
On inflation, which is running at its fastest annual rate since November 1981, the report found “substantial price increases” across the country. Prices in areas such as lumber and steel had moderated, but there were “significant” increases in food, energy and other commodities. Companies, however, reported that they are still able to pass along the price increases to customers, a further inflationary sign.
Jill Biden’s office issued an apology Tuesday morning after Biden faced criticism for citing “bodegas” and “breakfast tacos” to praise Latino diversity.
Biden made the comments on Monday during a conference in San Antonio for the Latino civil rights and advocacy organization UnidosUS, where she commented on diversity of the community and the work of Raul Yzaguirre, the former president and CEO of the organization who just last week was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor.
Joe Biden boasted that as vice president he threatened to withhold $1 billion in foreign aid from Ukraine unless they fired the prosecutor looking into a lucrative contract held by his son, Hunter Biden.
Steve Bannon informed lawmakers investigating the Jan. 6 riot on Saturday that he now wants to testify publicly after former President Trump waived executive privilege
The setting of Bannon's potential testimony is unclear, but he is open to a close-door interview and is also willing to provide the committee with documents that were subpoenaed last year, according to The Guardian, which originally reported the news on Sunday.
Now that the New York Times has signaled its approval for Democrats to say out loud that they don’t want President Biden to run for re-election in 2024, the floodgates are open. Everywhere you turn, there is suddenly a Dem willing to declare that Very Old Joe is in way over his head.
The only surprise is that it took the naysayers so long to admit the obvious. But even now, they are only wrestling with part of the problem.

More than half of Americans do not trust the federal government and don't think it helps people like them, according to a new survey by Partnership for Public Service and Freedman Consulting.
Between the lines: Distrust in institutions is widespread, but there are also stark partisan differences. Three out of five Democrats say they trust the government to do the right thing, compared to fewer than three in 10 Republicans.

SHOW ANALYSIS: The 38% of U.S. adults who say they are "extremely proud" to be American is the lowest in Gallup's trend, which began in 2001. Still, together with the 27% who are "very proud," 65% of U.S. adults express pride in the nation. Another 22% say they are "moderately proud," while 9% are "only a little" and 4% "not at all" proud.
This record-low level of extreme national pride comes at a challenging time in the U.S. as a pandemic-weary public is struggling with the highest U.S. inflation rate in more than four decades.

The stage has been set for an invasion of the Supreme Court. There is money pouring in from progressive organizations all over the place. Those organizations are pressuring Democratic lawmakers to attack the judiciary. Their stated goal is to increase the size of the Supreme Court from nine justices to thirteen or more.
As of this moment, public opinion is against them. But they are well aware that, if they can convince enough Americans that the Supreme Court has acquired, in the words of Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the "stench" of politics, then they might be able to convince enough of them that this insane idea is a good one.
Authorities found 46 migrants dead inside a tractor-trailer on Monday in San Antonio, Texas, the city's fire department said, in what appears to be one of the most deadly recent incidents of human smuggling along the US-Mexico border.
The San Antonio Fire Department said 16 other people found inside the trailer were transported to the hospital for heat stroke and exhaustion, including four minors. Officials also said three people were in custody following the incident.The truck was found next to railroad tracks in a remote area on the city's southern outskirts.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) tore into the Supreme Court Sunday morning in a Meet The Press interview–in the aftermath of the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision–calling for the impeachment of justices who she argues lied under oath.
On Friday, The Supreme Court effectively overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark decision from 1973, with a 5-4 ruling on Dobbs v. Jackson.
The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the Constitution provides a right to carry a gun outside the home, issuing a major decision on the meaning of the Second Amendment.
The 6-3 ruling was the court’s second important decision on the right to “keep and bear arms.” In a landmark 2008 decision, the court said for the first time that the amendment safeguards a person’s right to possess firearms, although the decision was limited to keeping guns at home for self-defense.
Voting in elections is an important way to make your voice heard on the issues that concern you. It is central to the way in which our democracy works. Voting in a local election is just as important as voting in a general election, as it allows you to effect change on a local level.
Encircled by an ominous security fence and off-limits to the public since March 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court is poised in the coming weeks to issue a major ruling that could dramatically curtail abortion rights from behind closed doors with not a single justice in sight.
No members of the public have been allowed in the courthouse since COVID-19 pandemic precautions were implemented in March 2020. The scene at the court has become more tense following protests and threats against some of the nine justices prompted by the May leak of a draft opinion indicating they are set to overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortion nationwide. The court has a 6-3 conservative majority.
Former President Trump last week said he has not endorsed House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) for Speaker of the House, saying he had endorsed him in just his reelection bid in California’s 20th Congressional District.
Speaking to conservative talk show host Wayne Allyn Root, Trump specified that he hasn’t endorsed McCarthy for Speaker should Republicans win the majority in the November midterm elections.
“No, I haven’t,” Trump said.
He later clarified that he was backing McCarthy for his reelection bid, saying, “No, I endorsed him in his race. But I haven’t endorsed anybody for Speaker.”
At least 23 pro-life centers have been attacked, firebombed or vandalized in recent weeks. Threats have increased to a fever pitch level. Protesters have descended on Supreme Court justices’ homes with Biden’s express permission. A Democrat assassin tried to kill Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
Yet Democrats have been silent. Biden has yet to say a single word about any of it.
At least 23 pro-life centers have been attacked, firebombed or vandalized in recent weeks. Threats have increased to a fever pitch level. Protesters have descended on Supreme Court justices’ homes with Biden’s express permission. A Democrat assassin tried to kill Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
Yet Democrats have been silent. Biden has yet to say a single word about any of it.
The New York Times reports “many Democratic lawmakers and party officials are venting their frustrations with President Biden’s struggle to advance the bulk of his agenda, doubting his ability to rescue the party from a predicted midterm trouncing and increasingly viewing him as an anchor that should be cut loose in 2024.”
Significantly, the “agreement in principle” appears to have the backing of at least 10 Republican senators, enough to reach a 60-vote threshold in the chamber and overcome the filibuster.
The deal aims to make the juvenile records of gun buyers under age 21 available when they undergo background checks. The suspects who killed 10 people at a grocery store in Buffalo and 19 students and two teachers at an elementary school in Uvalde were both 18, and many of the attackers who have committed mass shootings in recent years have been young.
The agreement would offer money to states to implement “red flag” laws that make it easier to temporarily take guns from people considered potentially violent, and to bolster school safety and mental health programs.
House Democrats know that even the most damning findings from their probe into the Capitol attack may not save their majority in November. They’re still pleading with voters to pay attention.
The effects of the Democrats’ narrative might not show right away, and they know it; many privately say they don’t see the hearings dramatically reversing the headwinds against them in November.
The media has focused on gun use but Illicit drug use is directly and indirectly – responsible for over 750,000 deaths per year. Illicit drug use is responsible for 585,000 premature deaths by increasing the risk of particular disease and injury. Over 166,000 die from drug overdoses each year.
A group of approximately 9,500 migrants crossed the border between Guatemala and Mexico with plans to head to the United States, an organizer of the group told Fox News. The group consists mainly of migrants from Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
The migrants are counting on President Joe Biden to cancel the Title 42 coronavirus protection protocol put in place during the Trump administration.
The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol is preparing for a crucial week as it prepares to finally share with the public the fruits of its monthslong investigation into the riot in primetime on Thursday.
The 8 p.m. hearing kicking off a series of meetings shows the committee is eager to reach a broad segment of Americans and relay the extent to which democracy itself was at stake that day.
Joe Biden’s approval rating has sunk to a new low, with only 36% of Americans saying they approve of his job performance and 59% saying they disapprove, according to the latest polls from Reuters/Ipsos. Biden’s current approval rating is just a few percentage points higher than the 33% low former President Donald Trump hit in December 2017, according to Reuters.
Former Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann gave a brief, celebratory statement to the media after being found not guilty of lying to the FBI.
“I told the truth to the FBI, and the jury clearly recognized that with their unanimous verdict today. I’m grateful to the members of the jury for their careful and thoughtful service,” Sussmann said. “Despite being falsely accused, I’m relieved that justice ultimately prevailed in my case.”
Motorists across the U.S. are grappling with gasoline prices that are reaching new records almost daily, but the pain isn't evenly distributed across the nation. Take the handful of locations where a gallon of regular fuel now costs as much as the federal minimum wage of $7.25.
It's a painful threshold that prices at the pump have reached at nine stations — all in California, according to GasBuddy's Patrick De Haan, an expert on oil and gas prices.
The Republican National Committee is wading into a lawsuit over counting undated mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania's still too-close-to-call Senate primary, an intervention that could help former President Donald Trump's candidate, Dr. Mehmet Oz.
The RNC sided against Oz's opponent, Dave McCormick, in a lawsuit McCormick filed to count an undetermined number of mail ballots that lack a handwritten date on the outer envelope, as required under Pennsylvania law.
Though the grim toll continued to change on Tuesday evening, one thing remained clear: This was the deadliest grade school shooting in the U.S. since the devastating spree at Sandy Hook Elementary in Connecticut a decade ago. The shooter's motives remained under investigation

Households in the United States are now spending an estimated $5,000 per year on gasoline, a figure that's almost doubled since the year before, when the average household spending was $2,800, Yardeni Research reports.
With far-right state Sen. Doug Mastriano on the verge of capturing the Pennsylvania GOP gubernatorial nomination, Republicans are lashing out, furious that he could cost them a shot at a competitive race in the perennial swing state.
Last-ditch efforts to stop Mastriano seemed doomed from the start. But the final blow likely came on Saturday, when former President Donald Trump threw his support behind Mastriano, who has been one of the chief boosters of conspiracy theories about the 2020 election and was also at the Capitol on Jan. 6.
Kathy Barnette said she will not support the Republican nominee against the likely Democrat nominee Lt. Gov. John Fetterman. It is worth noting Fetterman is an avowed socialist, so Barnette refusing to support either Dr. Mehmet Oz or businessman David McCormick if one of them wins instead of her essentially means she would be helping a socialist Democrat win in the general election.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) urged fellow Republican senators not to “politicize” the $40 billion aid package for Ukraine on Sunday, days after Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) singlehandedly blocked its quick passage in the Senate.
The leaked Roe V. Wade draft opinion memo has caused political shockwaves, with Democrats pledging to codify Roe v. Wade into law and making its explosive contents the centerpiece of midterm campaigns. Republicans, who have long opposed Roe v. Wade, are portraying the leak as a plot to stop it from being overturned. Will threats and protests make conservative judges change their minds
BIDEN: I think our policies helped, not hurt. Think about what they say. The vast majority of the economists think that this is going to be a real tough problem to solve. But it’s not because of spending. We brought down the deficit. The bottom line is, how much does America owe? How much in the hole are we going? We’re reducing that.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) slammed those who do not support abortion during an interview on Sunday, saying that viewpoint was “disrespectful” to women. Pelosi’s remarks on Mother’s Day were made on CBS News’ “Face The Nation” with Margaret Brennan. The comments come after an early draft of a United States Supreme Court majority opinion leaked last week that indicated the controversial Roe v. Wade decision would likely be struck down.
The majority of Americans want a federal law making abortion legal, according to a new poll that follows the leak of a draft opinion from the Supreme Court potentially overturning Roe vs. Wade. The poll from CBS News and YouGov showed 58 percent of U.S. adults favored making abortion legal, while 42 percent opposed it.
Joe Biden on Wednesday called former President Donald Trump's Make America Great Again movement "the most extreme political organization in American history." Mentioning MAGA repeatedly during a statement about the economy, the president seemed eager to compare his progressive policies to the MAGA agenda.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren is very angry about the Supreme Court's apparent vote to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade decision in a draft opinion. She says that ending abortion is bad for all women, but especially for the most vulnerable ones. Liz, who looked angry, says that the court's decision to overturn Roe will have a big impact on the most vulnerable women in our country.
During her White House press briefing today, Joe Biden’s spokeswoman Jen Psaki called pro-life laws protecting babies from abortion “archaic.” Yet abortion sacrifices children just like ancient civilizations did.
Asked about a decision today by Amazon to pay for employees to kill their babies in abortions, Psaki said, “We know our view on the archaic abortion laws that we’ve seen put into place across the country in some states– far too many.”
“Republicans are calling it ‘Orwellian’ and comparing it to the Ministry of Truth in the novel 1984,” Bash said. “Can you clarify what exactly is this? What exactly will this disinformation governance board do? Will it monitor American citizens?”
Mayorkas conceded “we probably could have done a better job of communicating” the board’s purpose, even as he defended it by citing foreign disinformation as a threat to homeland security. Bash continued to press Mayorkas on how the board will work, asking again “Will American citizens be monitored?”
The moderator asked questions from employees ranging from how Musk will deal with a mass exodus to who will hold him accountable since there will be no board of directors as the company is going private.
The person writing the question about a mass exodus referred to Musk as having questionable ethics. Another suggested that Musk’s commitment to free speech puts the company’s ‘Trust and Safety’ in a difficult position.
Someone quoted the CEO as saying ‘we trust Elon’ and wanted to know who the WE is in that sentence.
Biden's Secretary of State confirms that there is "an ongoing [assassination] threat against American officials" from Iran's terrorist regime.
Biden is still trying to lift sanctions on these terrorists.
A majority of American voters support Elon Musk’s coming acquisition of Twitter, while another majority say they think the platform targets conservatives, according to a new poll.
The Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll began tracking the thoughts of voters on the issue last week, before Musk agreed to buy the platform.
Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren advocates for Biden to cancel student loan debt by executive fiat: "not everything has to go through Congress"
Most of today's voters don't know the ugliness of politics but it's been around for a long time. Marjorie Taylor Greene is going through a situation where challengers are trying to remove her from her 2022 primary. Do you remember Barack Obama's first race for office, seeking a state Senate seat on Chicago's gritty South Side in 1996, Obama effectively used election rules to eliminate his Democratic competition.
The Biden administration is expected to announce in the coming days another package of military assistance for Ukraine that will follow an $800 million package announced last week.
Sen. Mitch McConnell's anti-establishment super PAC, the Senate Leadership Fund (SLF), plans to spend $141 million on fall campaign ads, Politico reported on Monday.
Starting in September, SLF has reserved eight-figure ad flights for North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin as well as for Arizona, Georgia, and Nevada, according to Politico.
Zelensky told CNN anchor Jake Tapper, during an interview that aired Easter Sunday on “State of the Union,” that he believed Russian President Vladimir Putin was fully capable of resorting to nuclear war — and more importantly, that he was willing to do so.
Musk: I invested in Twitter as I believe in its potential to be the platform for free speech around the globe, and I believe free speech is a societal imperative for a functioning democracy.
However, since making my investment I now realize the company will neither thrive nor serve this societal imperative in its current form. Twitter needs to be transformed as a private company.
As a result, I am offering to buy 100% of Twitter for $54.20 per share in cash, a 54% premium over the day before I began investing in Twitter and a 38% premium over the day before my investment was publicly announced. My offer is my best and final offer and if it is not accepted, I would need to reconsider my position as a shareholder.
Twitter has extraordinary potential. I will unlock it.
Grassley was pressed by a woman worried about her two adult children who get their coverage through the Affordable Care Act, Iowa Starting Line reported. She noted Grassley voted 12 times to repeal the law, also known as ObamaCare.
“So I’m wondering: If you and the Republicans get back in power, is that again going to come up to be repealed?” she asked. “And, if you do, what is the Republican plan to provide affordable health care to my children?”
“Yes, I’m saying I would not—we’re not going to repeal the Affordable Care Act,” Grassley said.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy on Sunday dismissed a question about whether or not he plans to introduce articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden, despite others in his party recently floating the idea.
Joe Biden and other Democrats are confronting a stark truth — they’re getting blamed for what’s bad in the economy and getting no credit for what’s good. The dynamic could spell electoral doom in November.
The Democrats’ failure to get voters to recognize the upside of the economy is not for lack of trying.
The potential breadth of the soft social credit system currently under creation is immense. The same corporations that can watch your activities and reward you for being compliant with the law may also use their authority to stop transactions, impose surcharges, or restrict your use of products.

So, given these awful videos and pictures we’re seeing of the atrocities that took place in Bucha right now. Is the U.S. policy still one of no regime change in Russia? And if so, why should someone like Vladimir Putin be viewed by the U.S. as someone who should be allowed to stay in power?
When respondents were asked which would be better for the United States, 52 percent chose “Biden loses power in the US” compared with 43 percent who picked “Putin loses power in Russia.”
The poll found that 57 percent disapprove of the Biden presidency and 70 percent believe the United States is “heading in the wrong direction.”
This is a frightening pattern. The world looks to the U.S. president to provide global leadership. That person must demonstrate calm and prudence while making decisions, knowing that every word will be scrutinized to ascertain U.S. policies. Biden’s consistent inability to perform this task means that aides must constantly “clean up” his remarks and clarify U.S. policy after the fact. One wonders what allied leaders must be saying to one another in private about Biden.

The United States on Saturday said it would rush up to $200 million in additional small arms, anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons to Ukraine, as Ukrainian officials pleaded for more equipment to defend against heavy shelling by Russian forces.
Biden's decision brings total U.S. security aid provided to Ukraine to $1.2 billion since January 2021, and to $3.2 billion since 2014, when Russia annexed the Crimea region of Ukraine, according to senior administration officials.
A new poll found that a clear majority of Americans place blame for the Russian invasion of Ukraine on the shoulders of President Joe Biden, and an even larger majority want the Biden administration to open up domestic oil production, including a majority of Democrats.
President Biden banned imported oil and other energy sources from Russia to punish the country as it intensified its military campaign in Ukraine, a move that will add pressure to already record U.S. gasoline prices and the economic recovery.
Russia says it is ready to halt its invasion of Ukraine “in a moment” if the Ukrainian government meets four conditions, a spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin said Monday.
With Putin showing no sign he is ready to pull back Russian troops shelling Ukrainian cities, and with the United States and Europe vowing to arm Ukrainian forces and wage unlimited economic warfare on Russia, there is no end in sight to the emerging duel between the West and Russia.
Even as Western allies unleash new economic pressures on Russia with businesses announcing market pullouts, and an intensification of cyberattacks against Russian government entities, experts warn that these measures may not be enough to curb President Vladimir Putin’s escalating war on Ukraine.
Nancy Pelosi says Americans have a low opinion of Joe Biden because they are ignorant: "For people to appreciate what the president has done...they have to know what it is."
A majority of Americans — 56 percent — say Biden’s time in office to date amounts to failure — roughly the same proportion of people who felt that way after Trump’s first year in office. That number includes 91 percent of Republicans and 66 percent of independents. Another 39 percent of Americans overall, including 80 percent of Democrats, say Biden’s presidency has been a success.
President Vladimir Putin dramatically escalated East-West tensions by ordering Russian nuclear forces put on high alert Sunday, while Ukraine’s embattled leader agreed to talks with Moscow as Putin’s troops and tanks drove deeper into the country, closing in around the capital.
Republicans, while hammering Putin’s march toward war, also wasted no time placing the blame for the escalating hostilities squarely on the shoulders of President Biden, saying his administration cleared the way for Russia’s aggression with a series of foreign policy blunders, including the disastrous withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan last August.
As President Joe Biden makes a final diplomatic push to stave off a Russian invasion of Ukraine, he is faced with looming political consequences at home that could have long-lasting effects on the Democratic Party’s ability to maintain its power in Washington.
The fence that surrounded the Capitol after the January 6th riot is reportedly going back up ahead of President Joe Biden’s upcoming State of the Union address.

Many alternative platforms bear a resemblance to Twitter or Facebook. What's different is the set of rules Twitter has with removing and banning conservative accounts and Social Media promises to cultivate free speech.
It's sad to watch a US President behave in this manner, regardless of party affiliation or whether one agrees with their views. As Americans, we should all desire a strong leader who exudes confidence and authority. Additionally, we should expect our President to adore America, to extol its virtues, and to prioritize the American people above all else.

Target will shut down its stores on Thanksgiving Day — and will keep doing so every year.
Retailers last year were forced to turn what had become a weekend shopping blitz into an extended event with holiday sales beginning as early as October to limit the number of people in stores during the pandemic. That forced shift during the holidays, however, turned out to be a good move.
As The New York Times reports, Walmart, Trader Joe’s, and Aldi will likewise close on Thanksgiving. However, opening stores on the holiday was once common practice.

Meanwhile, Biden has done a lot to discourage a resurgence in U.S. drilling and production. He has cancelled pipelines, threatened oil and gas producers with higher taxes, taken promising acreage out of play, such as the Arctic Natural Wildlife Refuge, slow-walked leasing and new drilling permits and, most recently, imposed new methane-curbing rules that make drilling more expensive.
What sensible person would invest in the oilfield in the face of such unrelenting hostility? Drilling activity is up, but nowhere near where it should be at $82 per barrel oil.

“So why should the world believe that when you say ‘America is back,’ that really it’s here to stay?” Miller asked.

Congressional Democrats' controversial $3.5 trillion spending bill appears to include illegal immigrants in providing free community college.
The reconciliation bill would amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 to establish a grant program for free community college, which would fulfill one of President Biden's campaign pledges.
The grant program would extend free community college to individuals regardless of their "basis of citizenship, alienage, or immigration status," according to the most recent version of the reconciliation bill.

The marked decline in support for President Biden and his administration nationally and in key swing states indicates that the Democratic Party could endure a blowout defeat in the 2022 midterm elections.
Moreover, Biden is in a significantly weaker position now than both of his most recent Democratic predecessors — Bill Clinton and Barack Obama — at this point in their presidencies, which suggests that Democrats could suffer even more substantial losses in 2022 than the party did in 1994 and 2010.

Few in the international community foresaw the speed with which the militant Islamist group would take over Afghanistan, making a series of stunning territorial gains in July and August as the U.S. withdrew its troops to end its 20-year war in the country.
The Taliban’s moves so far show a failure to meet the group’s earlier pledge of an “inclusive” government, even as the moves put Western financial aid at risk and do not bode well for those who wanted to see Afghanistan rid of terrorist activity. Experts warn that the global jihadi movement will feel emboldened by what they see in Afghanistan as a triumph.

Early in the pandemic, the CDC, together with the Food and Drug Administration, disastrously bungled the rollout of virus tests, making it impossible to curtail the spread of COVID-19 through contact tracing. Its obstruction of independently produced tests was coupled with irrationally narrow guidelines that initially recommended screening only for symptomatic travelers from China and people who had been in close contact with them.
The CDC, which at first dismissed the idea that Americans should wear face masks in public places to curtail the spread of the coronavirus, later decided such coverings were "the most important, powerful public health tool we have." It even insisted that people who had been vaccinated should continue wearing face masks in many indoor and outdoor settings, both public and private.

Teachers have a captive audience of malleable young minds for several years. They may not have figured out how to make students smart and productive, but they can at least make them submissive and obedient.
Judging by results and from most people’s experience, indoctrination is not only a problem with rogue regimes, but also a distinctly American problem. However, here it is difficult to determine the extent of indoctrination, how it works, or even if it does work.

Sen. Lindsey Graham told "Fox News Sunday" that Democrats' proposed voting reform bill, the "For the People Act," would be the "biggest power grab" in U.S. history and take power over elections from the states.
"In my view, SR1 is the biggest power grab in the history of the country," Graham said. "It mandates ballot harvesting, no voter ID, it does away with the states being able to redistrict when you have population shifts. It’s just a bad idea."

Black Lives Matter took in $90 million in 2020, and was left with a balance sheet of $60 million by January 2021. Around $8 million was spent on expenses, including staffing costs with the other $20 million donated to local chapters and nonprofits.
Those numbers – and news of Cullors’ property portfolio – has led to questions about how BLM is spending its money, and complaints over a lack of transparency from bereaved families previously supported by the group.

A government report concludes that federal police did not clear protesters from Lafayette Park near the White House last summer so then-President Donald Trump could walk to a nearby church for a photo op.
The report, released Wednesday by Interior Department Inspector General Mark Lee Greenblatt, says U.S. Park Police and the U.S. Secret Service determined it was necessary to remove protesters from the area in and around the park last June 1, so contractors could install security fencing.
Federal police didn't learn of Trump's plans to walk through the park and examine damage from a fire at St. John's Episcopal Church until mid- to late afternoon – hours after they had begun planning for the security fencing and the contractor had arrived in the park, the report says.

The difference between liberals and conservatives on immigration is as simple as inclusion versus exclusion. Liberals seek to continue accepting immigrants who try to cut the line and enter the United States without going through the proper channels with promises of benefits, welfare and acceptance waiting for them on the other side of the border.
Conservatives seek to expose this practice to the American people hoping they understand that illegal immigration not only hurts the country but local communities that are not equipped to handle the added population.

Wright is alleged to have been pulled over because an air freshener was blocking his view from his rearview mirror, but then he returned to his car, was fired upon by the police while he drove off, and ultimately crashing into another car.
