Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) faced angry attendees at his town hall in the Hudson Valley on Sunday. About 600 constituents bombarded him with questions and jeers while more protested outside, and multiple attendees were asked to leave or forcibly removed from the venue. Lawler, one of many Republicans to be met with hostile town hall crowds as President Donald Trump and Elon Musk have dismantled the federal government, represents a swing district that will be contested in 2026.

Republican lawmakers across the country have been met with jeers and heckling...

National Security Adviser Mike Waltz — who in March accidentally invited a journalist into an unsecured chat where top Trump officials discussed military attack plans — is leaving his post, and his deputy, Alex Wong, will be following him out the door.

Mark Halperin was the first to report the news of Waltz’s ouster Thursday morning.

Trump announced later in the day that he is nominating Waltz to become the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, and that Secretary of State Marco Rubio will take over as national security adviser on an interim basis.

Elon Musk is posting through it. Since polls closed in Wisconsin on Tuesday night, he’s posted about genetically-engineered cat girls, humanoid robots, and Tesla sales, along with multiple AI-generated images of himself and CIA Director John Ratliff.

He has not posted at all about the person he spent the last several months promoting — both on X and in person: “Superjudge Brad Schimel,” into whose failed state Supreme Court candidacy Musk sunk tens of millions of dollars. Wisconsin voters roundly rejected Schimel — and, by extension, Musk’s efforts to influence the election — on Tuesday night.

Karoline Leavitt, 27, who served as Donald Trump’s campaign spokeswoman, became the youngest White House press secretary this week.

But she got off to a rocky start after campaign finance filings showed that her losing congressional campaign was in debt by over $300,000 after being forced to refund donations that were more than legal limits allowed. Leavitt has not held a briefing yet and has not responded to the report.

In November, Trump announced Leavitt as his choice for the role, saying that he was confident she would “excel at the podium and help deliver our message to the American People as we Make America Great Again.” Leavitt also previously served in the White House press office during the first Trump administration.

Leavitt, a native of New Hampshire, studied communications and political science at Saint Anslew College. During her school years, she interned at Fox News. She told Politico in 2020 that...

Update: It’s official! Florida Senator Marco Rubio has been selected to be Donald Trump’s new Secretary of State. Also, former Democratic Congresswoman and veteran Tulsi Gabbard has been picked to be the Director of National Intelligence on what is turning out to be a busy day for the Trump transition.

Rumored over the past two days, the announcement by the 45th and soon-to-be 47th Potus came as Trump was in DC Wednesday visiting Joe Biden, and House and Senate Republicans.

“He will be a strong Advocate for our Nation, a true friend to our Allies, and a fearless Warrior who will never back down to our adversaries,” Trump said of the senior Sunshine State senator he once mocked as “Little Marco” in the 2016 bid for the GOP nomination. “I look forward to working with Marco to Make America, and the World, Safe and Great Again!”

Rubio took to...

The escalating crisis in the Middle East, with Iranian airstrikes on Israel, could be a topic for Sen. Jd Vance (R-Oh) and Gov. Tim Walz (D-mn) when they meet tonight in the CBS News vice presidential debate.

The debate is going forward as scheduled, starting at 9 p.m. Et, with Norah O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan as moderators.

The event is being held at the CBS Broadcast Center in New York, with no audience. Reporters covering the campaign will watch from a nearby file room, and campaign surrogates will appear in a spin room.

The unfolding developments were apparent as Jake Tapper opened his 4 p.m. hour on CNN, anchoring from the spin room, but quickly going to Jim Sciutto in Tel Aviv.

On CBS News 24/7, the network’s Robert Costa noted that such breaking news developments are at times a feature of debates, with candidates pressed to respond to the latest,...

Donald Trump imploded on the debate stage against Kamala Harris on Tuesday night. The former president fell for obvious bait presented by the vice president, delivered a series of angry diatribes in the style of his rallies, and told lies that repeatedly forced ABC News’ moderators to fact-check him in real-time.

Right-wing lawmakers and commentators are offering a menu of excuses to minimize the damage. In the post-debate spin room and on social media, the former president’s allies are floating everything from moderator bias, to conspiracies about hidden earpieces,...

As students across the country prepare for their return to classes, Columbia University President Minouche Shafik has resigned from her position as head of the university. The move comes after a firestorm of criticism of Shafik’s handling of student protests against the ongoing war in Gaza earlier this summer.

Shafik is the third president of a major university to resign in the wake of protests against the war in Gaza, following Harvard President Claudine Gay and the University of Pennsylvania’s Liz Magill.

“This period has taken a considerable toll on my family,...

The message from the second night of the Republican National Convention was clear — and brutal: Elect Donald Trump this November or the United States will be overrun with brown people and drugs that will kill you, your family, and everyone you care about.

The GOP trotted out an array of lawmakers throughout the night’s programming, dubbed “Make America Safe Again,” to deliver their well-worn lines about migrant crime and the need to build a border wall, but the gist of the evening was best captured in an interstitial video...

After months of public auditioning and behind-the-scenes strategizing, Donald Trump has finally chosen a vice president.

On Monday, the president announced that Ohio Senator J.D. Vancewill join him on the 2024 ticket. The decision came just two days after a would-be assassin nearly killed the former president at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, and on the first day of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

“After lengthy deliberation and thought, and considering the tremendous talents of many others, I have decided that the person best suited to assume the...

In a recent development, Donald Trump‘s oldest son Donald Trump Jr. has voiced his apprehensions about the prospect of Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Florida) serving as his father’s running mate in the upcoming election.

Trump Jr. expressed these concerns in his video podcast Triggered and stated that Rubio’s establishment ties could potentially lead to a speedy impeachment of the elder Trump.

In a live Q&a session, a submitted question claimed that “Rubio guarantees another impeachment,” to which Trump Jr. readily agreed. He argued that if Rubio were to become the vice president, the impeachment process could be initiated immediately after the inauguration.

“By the time my father’s hand moves off in the swearing-in process,” he said. “12 p.m. January 20, the second it goes off, impeachment!”

Trump Jr. further emphasized the importance of having someone from outside the establishment to provide additional protection against the political establishment...

Tucker Carlson is among the celebrity names slated to speak at next week’s Republican National Convention, reportedly in a plum spot on Thursday night before Donald Trump himself accepts the party nomination.

In addition to a long list of elected officials who are backing Trump, the speaker lineup also includes celebrities like Amber Rose, the model, rapper and former stripper; Dana White, the CEO of UFC; and Savannah Chrisley, the TV personality whose parents are serving prison time for fraud and tax evasion. Also on the bill: Lee Greenwood and Chris Janson.

Notably missing from the lineup: Former First Lady Melania Trump and the former president’s daughter, Ivanka Trump. They each spoke at the 2016 and 2020 conventions.

House GOP leaders like Speaker Mike Johnson, Majority Leader Steve Scalise and Majority Whip Tom Emmer are on the list, but Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Minority Whip John Thune and Republican...

Republican lawmakers were apoplectic about the Trump verdict Thursday, with many joining the Maga chorus in declaring it a political, sham trial, in an effort to delegitimize the jury’s decision.

Some reactions were brief: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) tweeted an image of an upside-down American flag, a symbol associated with the “Stop the Steal” movement, which treats President Joe Biden’s 2020 election win as illegitimate.

House GOP Conference Chair Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-n.Y.) echoed oft-repeated spin from Trump and his legal team, calling it a...

The big news from Donald Trump’s Manhattan criminal hush money trial Monday was Judge Juan Merchan clearing the courtroom so he could reprimand the Trump legal team’s combative witness, Robert Costello — who had spent the last several days publicly attacking the judge and the proceedings.

Costello, a lawyer, previously advised Michael Cohen, the longtime Trump fixer who is now prosecutors’ key witness in their case against the former president. During his testimony, Merchan admonished Costello for audibly and visibly reacting — including apparently rolling his eyes — in response to...

Rep. Elise Stefanik does not like being reminded that she once called Donald Trump a “whack job” and “insulting to women.” During a Fox News interview, the New York Republican got heated when host Shannon Bream read excerpts from a New York Times article that included quotes showing Stefanik was initially critical of Trump’s candidacy in 2016.

The Times article quoted Stefanik telling a radio station in 2016 that Trump was “insulting to women” in the Access Hollywood tape where he bragged that he liked to “grab” women “by the pussy.

Self-avowed pro-First Amendment, anti-government repression Senators Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) are demanding President Joe Biden unleash the full force of the state’s National Guard to suppress pro-Palestinian student protests at Columbia University.

“If [New York City Mayor] Eric Adams won’t send the NYPD and [New York Governor] Kathy Hochul won’t send the National Guard, Joe Biden has a duty to take charge and break up these mobs,” Cotton wrote Monday on X, formerly Twitter, describing the protests as “nascent pogroms” against Jews — invoking the term used to describe historic massacres against Jewish communities.

The House of Representatives has advanced a bill that could effectively ban TikTok within the United States. The legislation will now advance to the Senate, where it will likely face a steeper road to adoption.

The bill, titled the Protecting Americans From Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, would require TikTok to sever itself completely from its Chinese parent company ByteDance or face a potential ban from mobile app stores and web-hosting services. The bill would also create a process through which the president can designate certain social media applications with...

On Monday, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously that states could not remove Donald Trump from their ballots using the 14th Amendment’s insurrection clause.

However, the Supreme Court justices were divided about how broadly this decision would end up sweeping. A five-to-four majority wrote that no state could exclude a federal candidate from any ballot – but four justices argued that the court should have kept its opinion limited.

A five-justice majority – Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh – wrote that states cannot remove any federal officer from the ballot, especially the president, unless Congress first passes legislation.

“We conclude that States may disqualify persons holding or attempting to hold state office. But States have no power under the Constitution to enforce Section 3 with respect to federal offices, especially the Presidency,” these justices said.

“Nothing in the Constitution delegates to the States any...

Donald Trump’s fascistic rhetoric about how immigrants are “poisoning the blood” of the country, as well as the GOP’s embrace of the “great replacement theory,” are repellent to many Americans. But for a startling number of people, new survey results exclusively provided to Rolling Stone reveal, the message that immigrants pose a dark threat to the nation is being met with enthusiasm — or a dangerous shrug of indifference.

More than a third of Trump’s 2020 voters — 35 percent — agree with Trump’s claim, parroted from fascists before him, that...

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-New York), the House Republican Conference Chair, declared that she would have handled the certification of the 2020 election results on January 6, 2021, differently than former Vice President Mike Pence.

In an interview with CNN on Thursday evening, Stefanik stated, “I would not have done what Mike Pence did. I don’t think that was the right approach.”

However, Stefanik did not provide any specific details about what she would have done differently. When questioned about whether she would be comfortable with Vice President Kamala Harris rejecting state votes in the event of Trump’s reelection, Stefanik changed the subject and did not directly address the question.

Stefanik’s remarks came about a month after she declined to commit to certifying the results of the 2024 presidential election and stated that she would only do so if they were deemed “constitutional.” She voiced concerns about what she perceived as unconstitutional actions in the 2020 election,...

Elise Stefanik, who many view as a top contender to be Donald Trump’s 2024 pick as vice president, says she would not have certified Joe Biden’s election if she, not Mike Pence, were VP at the time.

“I would not have done what Mike Pence did,” the GOP conference chair told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins Thursday night when asked what she would have done as vice president on Jan. 6, 2021, when thousands of Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol as Pence was presiding over the certification of the Electoral College votes.

The Supreme Court heard arguments on Thursday pertaining to whether states can throw Donald Trump off the 2024 presidential ballots if they determine he violated the 14th Amendment — which essentially disqualifies insurrectionists from holding office. The former president shouldn’t be too worried, however, as the conservative-controlled court seems unlikely to permit what Chief Justice John Roberts described as a “pretty daunting consequence.”

The justices did not seem very concerned with the question of whether Trump is actually an insurrectionist, only addressing it briefly during the proceedings. Trump lawyer Jonathan Mitchell...

In a show of support for former President Donald Trump, Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-Florida) and Elise Stefanik (R-New York) unveiled a concise resolution on Tuesday, declaring that Trump “did not engage in insurrection or rebellion against the United States.”

The one-page resolution, which boasted over 60 co-sponsors from the GOP, emerges amidst efforts by various groups across the nation who seek to disqualify Trump from the 2024 presidential election ballots.

These groups argue that Trump’s involvement in the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack constituted an insurrection, invoking the language of the 14th Amendment, which disqualifies individuals who have engaged in such acts from holding office.

In December, the Colorado Supreme Court excluded Trump from the Republican Party ballot in the state. This decision will now be reviewed by the Supreme Court.

Gaetz referenced this case during a press conference, accompanied by over 10 co-sponsors.

“We are here today to authoritatively express that President Trump did not commit an insurrection,...

House Republicans announced a resolution Monday to “authoritatively express” that Donald Trump “did not engage in insurrection or rebellion.” The stunt comes days before the Supreme Court hears oral arguments Thursday in an appeal of the Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling that the former president “engaged in an insurrection” on Jan. 6, 2021, and is constitutionally ineligible to be president.

Introduced by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) and conference chair Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-n.Y.), the bill has 63 cosponsors and will be matched with a Senate bill by Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio). The...

The Senate has finally released its long-discussed, much-debated, bipartisan border package. Despite their demands for many of the increased security measures the bill would provide, House Republicans are setting aside their self-proclaimed commitment to border reform in favor of blocking a potential PR victory for the Biden administration.

Only hours after the 370-page document was released, House Republican leadership was already shutting the doors on its prospects in the lower chamber.

“I’ve seen enough. This bill is even worse than we expected, and won’t come close to ending...

U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth, an appointee of former President Ronald Reagan, said he is “shocked” that some Republican politicians are trying to rewrite history by labeling the January 6 Capitol rioters as “hostages.”

Lamberth’s statement was part of a ruling tied to the sentencing of James Little, a January 6 defendant who was convicted of misdemeanor offenses and has sought to argue that he had been politically prosecuted.

The court ordered that Little be committed to the custody of the Bureau of Prisons for 150 days.

He had appealed, and the federal appeals court sent it back to Lamberth for resentencing despite the fact that the defendant already completed his incarceration.

“Mr. Little has consistently refused to take responsibility for his actions on January 6 – today is the first time he has come close to accepting responsibility,” Lamberth wrote in a ruling on January 26. “He has denied the gravity of what...

Donald Trump’s campaign refused to agree to let an NBC News correspondent travel with him on New Hampshire campaign stops today as the designated pool reporter, leading to access being cut off for the day.

According to a pool report obtained by Deadline, correspondent Vaughn Hillyard was informed “that if he was the designated pooler by NBC News that the pool would be cut off for the day.”

“After affirming to the campaign that your pooler would attend the events, NBC News was informed at about 2:20pmET that the pool would not be allowed to travel with Trump today,” the pool report stated.

It’s believed by sources at the network that the campaign refused to allow Hillyard in the pool because of his questions on Saturday to Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-ny), a Trump surrogate, about the E. Jean Carroll case. A jury last year found Trump liable...

House Republican leader, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-New York), rescinded her endorsement from Craig Riedel, a House of GOP candidate, due to the criticisms he made against former President Donald Trump.

On January 4, Stefanik announced on X that she would no longer endorse Riedel.

“Earlier this week, I informed Craig Riedel (Ohio-9) that I will be withdrawing my endorsement,” she wrote. “I was very disappointed in his inappropriate comments regarding President Trump.”

“As we begin 2024, my focus is on ensuring we nominate the strongest candidates on the ballot who are committed to electing President Trump this November and expanding our House GOP Majority,” Stefanik declared.

Riedel is a GOP former state representative running for Congress.

He made it clear in an audio recording that he would not endorse Trump and noted that his habit of insulting others does not seem presidential.

The recording was posted by the right-wing activist Charlie Kirk on X.

House Republican leader Elise Stefanik (R-New York) said she won’t commit to accepting the 2024 election results.

“Would you vote to certify, and will you vote to certify, the results of the 2024 election, no matter what they show?” Kristen Welker, the host of Meet the Press, asked.

“Well, I voted not to certify the state of Pennsylvania, because as we saw in Pennsylvania and other states across the country, that there was unconstitutional acts circumventing the State legislature and unilaterally changing election law,” Stefanik responded.

“What about 2024, Congresswoman?” Welker asked.

“We will see if this is a legal and valid election,” Stefanik replied. “What we’re seeing so far is that Democrats are so desperate, they’re trying to remove President [Donald] Trump from the ballot. That is a suppression of the American people, and the Supreme Court will that case up in February. That should be a nine-to-zero to allow...

Bill Ackman, billionaire founder and CEO of hedge fund Pershing Square Capital Management, has become a new and formidable actor in the American culture wars thanks to his connections to Harvard University. But by stepping into the fray, he inadvertently took up the mantle of a social media archetype that is awkward and difficult to shed: He’s 2024’s first “wife guy.”

Back in early November, a month after Hamas militants’ deadly Oct. 7 attack on Israel, Ackman, who is Jewish, addressed a 3,000-word open letter on X (formerly Twitter) to Claudine Gay,...

Harvard president Claudine Gay has resigned after becoming embroiled in a pair of controversies over on-campus antisemitism and plagiarism.

Gay spent just over six months as president of Harvard, having assumed the role on July 1, 2023. She was the university’s first Black president, and has now served the shortest tenure of any president in the school’s history. Alan M. Garber, the current Provost and Chief Academic Officer, will step in as interim president. (The student paper, The Harvard Crimson, was the first to report Gay’s resignation.)

In a letter announcing her resignation,...

Harvard president, Dr. Claudine Gay, will remain at the school despite the backlash to some of her testimony at a recent House of Representatives hearing on antisemitism on campus, The New York Times reports.

Harvard’s board, the Harvard Corporation, announced its decision to stick with Gay days after Liz Magill stepped down as president of the University of Pennsylvania over a similar matter. In a statement, the Harvard board said it still had “confidence that President Gay is the right leader to help our community heal and address the...

Cecily Strong, a former Saturday Night Live cast member, made a surprise return to the show ahead of the December 9 edition. The actress and comedian, who departed SNL at the end of 2022, took part in rehearsals portraying Rep. Elise Stefanik. However, when the show aired, Strong had been replaced by new featured cast member Chloe Troast in the same role, according to sources. Saturday Night Network also confirmed the news. Speculation arose about Strong possibly postponing her return to appear on the next week’s episode, where Kate McKinnon, another alum, was set to host. The reason for Strong’s substitution in the cold open was unclear. It was also unknown how much preparation Troast had before taking on the role and interpreting the political character in her own way. The sketch itself faced mixed reactions, with lukewarm laughs and a predominantly negative response from viewers online. Additionally, there were errors in the sketch,...

Adam Driver had some very specific requests on his Christmas list for Santa Claus this year.

During his Saturday Night Live opening monologue, the Ferrari star decided to share his holiday wishes as he played piano.

“Hey, Santa! It’s me, Adam Driver from the nice list and also Girls,” the actor says. “I turned 40 this year, Santa, so I’d like five pairs of Chinos.”

Driver also had another wish regarding his time playing Kylo Ren in Star Wars and the one scene he can’t seem to live down. “I’d like people to stop coming up to me on the street saying, ‘You killed Han Solo,'” the actor says. “I didn’t kill Han Solo. Wokeness killed Han Solo.”

After thinking about what else he wanted for Christmas, Driver asks, “You know those TikToks where it’s like those couples who do pranks on each other?...

This week’s Saturday Night Live opened with a sketch mocking this week’s sham antisemitism hearing in front of a GOP-led Congress, which saw three university presidents (and Maga Rep. Elise Stefanik) embarrass themselves while answering inane questions about the temperature on college campuses. Then, both host Adam Driver and musical guest Olivia Rodrigo flexed their piano skills, with the former mocking Tesla Cybertruck buyers whilst serenading Santa, and the latter performing a delicate piano version of her hit single “vampire.”

Then came Weekend Update.

It kicked off with...

This week’s Saturday Night Live cold open gave us a C-span report on the GOP-led Congress’ bizarre hearing this week consisting of testimony from a trio of university presidents on the subject of antisemitism on U.S. college campuses. There was: MIT president Sally Kornbluth (Chloe Fineman), University of Pennsylvania president Elizabeth Magill (Heidi Gardner), and Harvard president Dr. Claudine Gay (Ego Nwodim).

Maga minion Rep. Elise Stefanik (played by Chloe Troast) kicked off the proceedings, saying, “Now, I’m going to start screaming questions at these women like I’m Billy Eichner.

Just hours after Liz Magill resigned as president of the University of Pennsylvania over the evasive answers she and two other academic leaders gave in a testimony at a House hearing this week, the three were being mocked on the Saturday Night Live cold open.

So was Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-ny), the Trump-supporting congresswoman whose queries nevertheless triggered a bipartisan furor directed at university presidents, who have been faced with weeks of protests on their campuses over the Israel-Gaza war. In clips that went viral this week, Stefanik asked whether someone calling “for the genocide of Jews” would violate the schools’ code of conduct. The university presidents did not answer “yes” or “no” and instead gave nuanced responses.

In the SNL skit, staged as C-span coverage, the three gave even more opaque answers.

As an amped up Maga star, Chloe Troast’s Stefanik shouts at the university presidents, “screaming questions...

Update: Rep. Mike Johnson (R-la) won the vote for speaker, ending three-weeks of Republican intra-party divisions and bitter argument that paralyzed the House.

Johnson won 220 votes while Hakeem Jeffries drew 209 votes. The manual roll call was a contrast to previous ones, as Republicans were unified in their support of the Louisiana Republican, who is little known on the national stage. Yet late on Tuesday, he managed to win a GOP closed-door vote to win the nomination, with members quickly predicting that they would finally coalesce around a speaker candidate.

“The challenge is great, but the time for action is now, and I will not let you down,” Johnson told members after taking the gavel. He said that the first bill he will bring to the floor will be a resolution in support of Israel. He also said that he planned to create a bipartisan commission on the national debt, and...

Update, 2:20 p.m.: Jim Jordan’s effort to become speaker of the House will be put off for another day.

The next vote is now scheduled for 11 a.m. on Wednesday. It’s an indication that Jordan and his allies are still struggling to win over holdouts.

“We’re going to keep going. We’ve had great conversations, especially with our colleagues,” Jordan told CNN’s Manu Raju. He said “we have to get a speaker and it can’t be some deal with the Democrats. The American people don’t want that. They elected Republicans in a majority — a small majority, I get it.”

Previously: The House may be in for a bit of deja vu, as Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Oh) fell short of winning the speakership on the first ballot.

Jordan received 200 votes, while the House Democratic leader, Hakeem Jeffries, drew 212. Some 217 votes were needed to become speaker,...

Kevin McCarthy has been ousted as Speaker of the House of Representatives. The vote comes as part of a campaign from Rep. Matt Gaetz and a posse of like-minded Republicans who have long opposed McCarthy, who is the first speaker to be axed as a result of a motion to vacate from his own party.

The House voted 216-210 to remove McCarthy on Tuesday afternoon. Eight Republicans joined Democrats in vote in favor of the motion: Reps. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), Ken Buck (R-Colo.), Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.), Eli Crane (R-Ariz.

House Republican leadership is sure of one thing: they’d like to start the impeachment process against Joe Biden. What’s less clear is what they’d like to impeach him over.

In his first comments to the press about the impeachment inquiry launched this week, Speaker Kevin McCarthy spoke about “a picture of a culture of corruption” painted by House Republican committees investigating Hunter Biden and his father, referencing a handful of allegations dug up over the course of hearings and interviews.

At the heart of Republicans’ allegations are claims that Biden,...

Donald Trump got indicted again on Tuesday and, once again, it’s all pretty damning.

The former president is accused of perpetrating an illegal scheme to circumvent the democratic process and stay in power despite losing the 2020 presidential election to Joe Biden, leading to, as Special Counsel Jack Smith described it, “an unprecedented assault on the seat of American democracy.”

Trump’s lawyers, allies in Congress, and propagandists across right-wing media, however, want you to believe he was indicted merely for voicing concerns about the integrity of the electoral process.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is backing two resolutions introduced by Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Elise Stefanik (R-n.Y.) looking to expunge Donald Trump’s two impeachments by the House of Representatives.

Speaking to reporters while exiting the Capitol on Friday, McCarthy said that he felt it was “appropriate” to expunge the impeachments “because it never should have gone through.”

Trump was impeached twice over the course of his presidency. First in 2019 over allegations that he tried to extort Ukrainian government officials into launching a public investigation into...

“Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough was outraged on Friday morning, this time by the response from some Republicans to Donald Trump’s second indictment. According to the MSNBC host, those responses are nothing but “sleazy” sentiments that demonstrate an “absolute contempt for the United States of America.”

The second indictment officially came down on Thursday, as part of Jack Smith’s ongoing investigation into the mishandling of classified documents that were eventually seized from Mar-a-Lago. It’s unknown exactly what charges Trump faces next, but Scarborough noted on Friday morning that he believes Trump will have to plea out to avoid jail time.

Of course, some prominent Republicans — from House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to Steve Scalise to Elise Stefanik — have thrown their support behind the twice-impeached former president once again, instead attacking Biden and saying that he has “weaponized” his Department of Justice to attack his own political opponents.

Also...

For a second time this year, Donald Trump is facing criminal charges. The former president is reportedly being slapped with a seven-count federal indictment amid an investigation into his unauthorized hoarding of classified documents after leaving office.

A source with knowledge of the matter previously told Rolling Stone that the charges include items related to possession of documents, obstruction, and false statements. Republican lawmakers, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, rallied around Trump, denouncing the indictment.

On Thursday night, Trump announced on Truth Social that his lawyers informed that he had...

Responding to a New York Times report that former president Donald Trump is telling friends and associates that getting arrested would be a “fun experience,” “Morning Joe” hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough agreed that he’s just “talking big,” despite being “horrified.”

“Trump, for his part, is reportedly downplaying his predicament behind closed doors,” panelist Willie Geist said in his intro to the report. “According to the New York Times, the former president has told friends and associates he welcomes the idea of being paraded around by the authorities, as long as he’s surrounded by the media.”

To this, Brzezinski audibly sighed over Geist’s continued set-up.

“He also reportedly mused openly about whether to smile for the cameras during that possible perp walk and described the potential situation as a fun experience,” Geist said, which earned a “Really?” from Brzezinski before she and Scarborough weighed in.

When the White House called up Twitter in the early morning hours of September 9, 2019, officials had what they believed was a serious issue to report: Famous model Chrissy Teigen had just called President Donald Trump “a pussy ass bitch” on Twitter — and the White House wanted the tweet to come down.

That exchange — revealed during Wednesday’s House Oversight Committee hearing on Twitter by Rep. Gerry Connolly — and others like it are nowhere to be found in Elon Musk’s “Twitter Files” releases, which have focused almost exclusively on requests...
