Far-right Florida gubernatorial candidate James Fishback posted a video of himself on Tuesday, toting an AR-15 above his head outside his campaign headquarters — and vowing to use it on anyone who threatens himself or his campaign staff with physical harm.

This comes after Fishback, a 31-year-old hedge fund manager, claimed his headquarters was targeted by an arsonist after a fire started in his yard over the weekend.

Michigan Senate candidate Mike Rogers came out in support of President Donald Trump's threats to extort the government of Canada by blocking the opening of a yearslong international bridge project between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario.

In his Truth Social rant earlier this week, Trump proclaimed he would hold closed the Gordie Howe International Bridge, which has been in the works since 2013, until Canada acknowledges the U.S. owns half of the bridge and "negotiates" with him about how it is operated — demands that threaten to spark an international incident with one of America's closest allies and neighbors.

Fox Business host Larry Kudlow questioned President Donald Trump after he claimed he could grow the economy by 15% to 20%.

"You know, I've been watching you and everybody else for years, and they say, 3% growth," Trump told Kudlow during a Tuesday interview. "We should grow 15 or 20 percent."

Cheryl Hines, the wife of HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., faced an awkward moment after podcast host Joe Rogan accused President Donald Trump's FBI of "gaslighting" people about sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

On his Tuesday podcast, Rogan's producer pointed to a recent Associated Press headline: "FBI concluded Jeffrey Epstein wasn't running a sex trafficking ring for powerful men, files show."

A Republican official in one of the most conservative parts of the San Diego metropolitan area is abandoning his party to join Democrats.

According to The San Diego Union-Tribune, "El Cajon Councilmember Gary Kendrick announced Monday that he left the Republican Party and registered as a member of the Democratic Party, citing deep concern over recent immigration enforcement." Kendrick "was one of the longest-serving Republicans in municipal office in San Diego County before making the decision to switch parties," and has served for 24 years since first being elected in 2002.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt insisted Tuesday that the Trump administration was "moving on" from the scandal surrounding the late accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

At the White House press briefing, one reporter noted that the Epstein files indicated that President Donald Trump talked to authorities about the notorious sex offender in 2006.

President Donald Trump broke with a longstanding bipartisan tradition when his administration announced that he would invite only Republicans to the annual National Governors Association meeting. But now, that decision appears to be blowing up in his face, as the entire meeting falls apart, along with other White House events with governors.

According to The Associated Press, "The National Governors Association said it will no longer hold a formal meeting with Trump when governors are scheduled to convene in Washington later this month, after the White House planned to invite only Republican governors."
