A far-right North Carolina congressman and election denier — who's running to become the state's top law enforcement official — this week compared former President Donald Trump's prosecution in New York to the persecution Black Americans faced in 1950s Alabama.

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) triggered anger on the Republican side of the aisle after he suggested that the GOP members were in former President Donald Trump's "cult."

At a House Judiciary Committee hearing with Attorney General Merrick Garland on Tuesday, Swalwell pushed back against Republican claims that the Justice Department had been weaponized against Trump.

Former President Donald Trump's felony conviction in New York has set off a flurry of speculation from political pundits and observers about what, if any, effect it will have on the electorate.

A Georgia election official who refused to certify last month's primary results is a member of an election denial network founded by MAGA activist Cleta Mitchell, who tried to help Donald Trump overturn his loss in multiple states.

Julie Adams was appointed to the Fulton County election board in February and abstained from certifying the May primary results, arguing that she couldn't accept them due to prior problems in the county.

"Democrats think locking up Trump locks up America First," Watters quipped with a daring tone. "But it doesn't. Makes it stronger. You ever see the prison bodies on inmates?"

Former President Donald Trump is going to unravel as his sentencing date for his 34 felony convictions approaches, his former attorney and fixer Michael Cohen told MSNBC's Joy Reid on Monday — because he is much more terrified of a potential prison sentence than he is actually letting on.

Judge Juan Merchan has the ability to order prison time in the case, and Manhattan prosecutors have not ruled out pursuing this, although it's also possible he could end up sentenced to probation and fines instead.

A former Republican governor Monday believes conservative attacks on the nation's judicial system after former President Donald Trump's criminal conviction will only lose them key allies and voters in swing states.

An apparent language barrier led several English speakers on Monday to mistakenly claim Mexico’s first female president is “a less Jewish Jew” after she thanked her husband for accompanying her to the polls.

Monday, Mexican citizens elected Claudia Sheinbaum, a member of the leftist Morena party, as the nation’s first female president. According to the New York Times, Sheinbaum, a physicist and former mayor of Mexico City, “won a larger share of the vote than any other presidential candidate in decades, and her party and its allies are within reach of claiming big enough majorities in Congress to enact constitutional changes that have alarmed the opposition.”

Sheinbaum will be predominantly-Catholic Mexico’s first Jewish president. The president-elect has previously described her childhood as secular, telling Enlace Judío, a Mexican Jewish organization, “I grew up without religion.”
