'Not the actions' of a wealthy man: CNN panel roasts Trump for Bible-hawking stunt

A CNN panel on Wednesday ridiculed former President Donald Trump for hawking $60 Bibles, with former Bush speechwriter David Frum commenting that it raises serious questions about his financial situation.

After watching video of Trump pushing his own brand of Bibles, Frum argued that the former president would have spent the last decade selling "reverse mortgages and dietary supplements" had he lost the 2016 presidential election.

Trump Bible sale could give churches a sneaky way past campaign finance laws: D.C. insider

Donald Trump's latest get-rich-quick scheme leaves open the possibility of churches or other allies pouring money into his coffers outside the purview of campaign finance laws.

The former president posted a commercial on his Truth Social account promoting the "God Bless the USA" Bible selling for $59.99, becoming the latest commercial venture for Trump as he faces a deadline next week to put up a $175 million bond to delay enforcement of a a $464 million fraud judgment during his appeal, and Politico's Sam Stein told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that opens up a new avenue for corruption.

Trump is leading a 'top-down conspiracy against the constitutional order': Ex-GOP insider

David Frum, a former Republican insider who worked as a speechwriter for President George W. Bush, put former President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election in stark terms on Wednesday.

During a CNN panel discussion about the potential disbarment of former Trump attorney John Eastman, Frum argued that punishment was absolutely warranted for an attorney who falsely claimed that Vice President Mike Pence had unilateral authority as president of the United States Senate to throw away certified election results.

'Shameful!' MTG attacks Mike Johnson for 'horrific' choice to keep government open

  1. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) tore into House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on the right-wing Real America's Voice streaming channel Tuesday, calling the funding bill to keep the government open "horrific" and "shameful."

Her attack came shortly after she threatened to call a motion to vacate Johnson from the speakership — the same procedure that toppled Kevin McCarthy last year.

"We have a Speaker of the House right now, with Mike Johnson, that is supporting Joe Biden's policies," said Greene. "He just funded a brand new FBI building for the FBI that invaded Mar-a-Lago."

Trump warned no-nonsense judge means to enforce gag order: 'Has to stay within this line'

Ex-60 Minutes reporter unleashes bizarre Baltimore bridge conspiracy theory

Former Fox News and CBS reporter Lara Logan went off the rails in a segment on Steve Bannon's "War Room," concocting an elaborate conspiracy theory that the Baltimore bridge disaster was actually a cyberattack directed against the United States — and somehow tied it to theories that the 2020 presidential election was rigged.

"This is what you call death by 1,000 cuts," said Logan. "It is an absolutely catastrophic attack on critical infrastructure and you cannot see it because a cyberattack is unseen, just like the attack on 2020, on the voting machines that you cannot see."

'Really scary': Legal expert suspects SCOTUS is queueing up yet another attack on women

The Supreme Court appeared hostile to the arguments of right-wing doctors seeking a nationwide ban of the abortion drug mifepristone during Tuesday, but MSNBC legal expert Dahlia Lithwick doesn't think access to this medication is safe — even if its opponents end up losing the case.

That's because, she argued, some of the justices appeared to be entertaining the idea that they'd rule against mifepristone access if a different set of plaintiffs using a different legal theory brought the case to them.

Trump campaign says it will deploy ‘soldiers’ to polling places

The Trump campaign says it plans to change tactics from 2020 when Joe Biden beat the then-incumbent president by more than 7 million votes, and this time go on "offense" by having "soldiers" and "poll watchers" at polling places.

Despite the Trump campaign's relentless claims of voter fraud, more than 60 court rulings found those claims to be unsupported by facts: there was no significant voter fraud. Last year The Brookings Institution cited an extensive report from the right-wing Heritage Foundation, which found, for example, voter "fraud in Texas amounted to 0.000096% of all ballots cast."
