Concerning as Joe Biden’s classified document scandal has been, there are some key differences that distinguish it from that of Donald Trump. Biden so far appears to have improperly kept just a handful of materials, where his predecessor absconded with some 300. And where the current president’s team immediately arranged for the materials to be transported to […]

After winning a historically long bid for the gavel by acquiescing to demands of 21 holdouts, Speaker Kevin McCarthy is now reaping what he sowed, with right-wing hard-liners snatching up coveted assignments on committees that are likely to play dominant roles in the GOP’s investigative crusades against Joe Biden. Representatives Lauren Boebert, Scott Perry, and […]

“George Santos Claims He Won Gold at the ’76 Olympics.” “George Santos Says He Discovered the Cure for Polio.” “George Santos Told Voter He Fought in the Revolutionary War.” If you opened up the internet today and saw any of these headlines, at The New York Times, or BuzzFeed, or anywhere else, you probably wouldn‘t […]

January 6, 2021, was undoubtedly one of the worst days in the history of the United States, but the one bright spot that came out of it was that it resulted in Donald Trump’s banning  and suspensions from Twitter and Facebook, which he’d previously used to both terrorize the nation on an hourly basis and […]

Controversial congressman Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) is under fire once again—this time for his alleged ties with a Trump confidant, the cousin of a Russian oligarch. The Washington Post reported on Sunday that Andrew Intrater—once a Trump ally and the cousin of a sanctioned Russian oligarch Viktor Vekselberg—and his wife each gave the maximum $5,800 to the New York congressman’s […]

The January 6 committee did not hold back in its struggle to make Donald Trump and his allies answer for the violent riot they instigated in January 2021. But the panel may have pulled at least one punch: As the Washington Post reported Tuesday, the congressional investigators compiled significant evidence of content moderation failures by social media companies […]

Ever since Donald Trump kicked off his third presidential bid in November, several high-profile evangelical leaders and activists have signaled that they want a new standard-bearer to lead the Republican Party into 2024. Unsurprisingly, these objections are not sitting well with the former president. “That’s a sign of disloyalty,” he told Real America’s Voice on […]

While we don’t know what other names the ex-president will have in store for the governor, we do know that he loves to take shots at his opponents’ heights, and would bet good money that we’ll hear a “Little Ron” before the election cycle is over. The names, as indicated by the aforementioned, also tend […]

Early Thursday afternoon, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced the appointment of a special counsel to examine Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents, after a relatively small number of them from his time as vice president were found in two locations. In a statement, Robert Hur, the veteran prosecutor (and former Trump-appointed US attorney) assigned to […]

Donald Trump may officially be a presidential candidate for the 2024 Republican nomination, but eight weeks into his third presidential run, he’s acting more like a Palm Beach retiree than a White House aspirant. Trump’s virtually invisible campaign––he has yet to hold a rally and rarely leaves Mar-a-Lago––is a topic of much debate and increasing concern […]
