'Pathetic': Senate Republican scoffs as his campaign reported to police

Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) has had his campaign reported to the police by one of his main primary rivals — but at least outwardly, he isn't projecting any concern at all.

On Tuesday, Rep. Wesley Hunt, who is challenging Cornyn for the nomination, filed a report with the Harris County Constable's Office, accusing Cornyn's campaign of illegally revealing personal information about Hunt and his family. The controversy started when one of Cornyn's campaign strategists shared an image of Hunt's 2016 provisional ballot, alleging that he lied about the term of his military service to request a ballot for a race he wasn't registered to run in. The ballot did not have any of Hunt's personal information redacted.

Trump could soon suffer stinging court loss as major case on 'life support': expert

President Donald Trump could soon suffer another stinging court loss as a major case his administration is pursuing is on "life support," according to one expert.

For almost a year, the Trump administration has tried to prosecute Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland resident with temporary protected status, on charges of human trafficking. The Trump administration "mistakenly" deported Abrego Garcia in May to El Salvador, where he spent several weeks in the infamous CECOT prison. Abrego Garcia was returned to the U.S. after spending about seven months abroad, and the Trump administration has since moved to prosecute him again in Tennessee.

This comes after House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) issued a statement proclaiming that, "House Democrats will not let the racist and bigoted behavior of Randy Fine go unchecked. Accountability is coming to all of these sick extremists when the gavels change hands in November, if not sooner."

Trump Cabinet warned open season impeachment looms — but there's a catch

Longtime political strategist Chai Komanduri told MS NOW's Ari Melber that Democrats will have a valid reason to impeach several members of President Donald Trump's Cabinet should they retake the House in November, as many polls suggest is likely — but they should temper their expectations of just how much of a political boon it will be.

"When you look at the blatant admitted targeting of political opponents, which is unconstitutional, the allegations around grift and crypto — I asked Ty Cobb about this, who represented the Trump White House, and he said, in [Attorney General Pam] Bondi's case, of course, there's a substantive case to impeach her if they win the midterms," said Melber, who then played the clip of Cobb saying such.

Neo-Nazi influencer 'can't wait' to see Trump and Cabinet impeached after 'betraying' MAGA

Far-right white nationalist and Nazi sympathizer Nick Fuentes is now so far off the Trump train that he's relishing the idea of Democrats taking over and impeaching the president.

"I can’t wait for Republicans to get destroyed in the midterms and then for Trump and his cabinet to get impeached," wrote Fuentes on Tuesday. "After totally betraying their own voters on deportations, Iran, H-1B’s, and Epstein Files, they deserve to be fired."

Trump admin gets sharp rebuke as judge outright terminates high-profile deportation case

An immigration judge has axed the Trump administration's deportation case against Mohsen Mahdawi, a Columbia University graduate student and pro-Palestinian activist, marking another major legal blow to the government's crackdown on college campus demonstrators in recent weeks.

The judge terminated the case after determining the government failed to properly authenticate a crucial document, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing Mahdawi's legal team. The 35-year-old Palestinian green-card holder faced charges of posing a "foreign-policy threat" to the U.S. following his detention in April at a citizenship interview in Vermont.

Expert aghast at Trump admin's scheme to turn legal immigration system into a 'trap'

A new report about the Trump administration's "assault on legal immigration" left one expert aghast on Tuesday.

President Donald Trump campaigned on deporting all illegal immigrants in the U.S. Since taking office, he has empowered the Department of Homeland Security to take active measures to achieve that goal, including setting a quota of 3,000 arrests per month, according to reports. But Trump's plan also appears to include turning the legal immigration process into a trap, The New Yorker reported.
