A Kentucky House candidate ended his campaign after a doorbell camera caught him stealing the flyer of one of his rivals, according to a new report.

Maxwell Morley, a Democrat, was running for the Kentucky state House District 30 seat against incumbent Rep.

Morley admitted to the theft on Tuesday and dropped out of the race on Wednesday.

William Paul, the son of Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), made headlines this week after he reportedly engaged in an obscene and heavily antisemitic rant against Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY), whom he mistakenly thought was Jewish.

Following the incident, William took to X to apologize and pledge to get help.

President Donald Trump made a stark admission on the White House lawn Tuesday, stating he does not consider Americans' financial situations when making major decisions.

When asked by Meidas Touch’s Pablo Manríquez whether concerns about Americans' finances motivated his efforts to end the Iran war, Trump responded: "Not even a little bit. The only thing that matters when I'm talking about Iran – they can't have a nuclear weapon. I don't think about Americans' financial situation. I don't think about anybody."

A MAGA lawmaker threatened to subpoena the CIA on Wednesday unless it agreed to turn over specific documents to Congress within the next 24 hours, according to a new report.

Rep. Ana Paulina Luna (R-FL) said she plans to subpoena the CIA unless it returns boxes of documents the agency took from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's office that were being processed for declassification, NewsNation reported. The documents pertain to the CIA's activities during John F. Kennedy's assassination in the 1960s and the CIA's MK Ultra program from the Cold War.

The Trump administration is doubling down on its war with a federal judge in Rhode Island — even though Justice Department attorneys were responsible for her move to release a potentially dangerous person into the community.

"The top lawyer at the Homeland Security Department has doubled down on the department’s dispute with a federal judge, labeling her an 'activist' and claiming that the Trump administration was justified when it withheld information from her in an immigration case," reported The New York Times. "Melissa R. DuBose, a federal judge in Rhode Island, referred an administration lawyer for possible discipline last week after he acknowledged that he had failed to inform her that Bryan Rafael Gomez, a migrant she was preparing to release from detention, was facing homicide charges in the Dominican Republic."

A MAGA candidate for governor in California was roasted after he misidentified a "street taco" during a campaign stop in Barstow.

Steve Hilton, a former Fox News host and a close ally of President Donald Trump's, posted a video on X of him outside a Del Taco restaurant in Barstow after a town hall. In the video, Hilton can be seen holding a taco, which he described as a "Barstow street taco."

President Donald Trump arrived in Beijing on Wednesday for a high-stakes summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping, but was notably not greeted by Jinping at the airport — a detail critics characterized as a diplomatic snub.

Instead of a presidential welcome, Trump was met by U.S. Ambassador to China David Perdue, Jinping's vice president Han Zheng, China's Ambassador to Washington Xie Feng, and Executive Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Ma Zhaoxu.

Members of Congress could have key medical information exposed as a result of a breach, Politico reported on Wednesday.

"Lawmakers on Capitol Hill were informed this week of a data breach involving the congressional medical office that may have compromised personal information — including their prescription history," said the report. "The intrusions occurred March 1 and 3 and targeted RXNT, a medical software provider used by the Office of the Attending Physician to manage care for members of Congress, according to letters sent this week to affected individuals that were reviewed by POLITICO."

One of the largest political action committees aligned with House Republicans is backing a progressive Democrat in California running to unseat Rep. David Valadao (R-CA), a move that one political expert described as a "confession," according to a new report.

The Congressional Leadership Fund recently sent out mailers supporting progressive Democrat Randy Villegas, a college professor, as he competes against Democratic Assemblymember Jasmeet Bains in California's 22nd District, The Sacramento Bee reported. Some experts suggested that the move is intended to help Villegas win the race against Bains by turning moderate voters away from Democrats and toward Republicans.
