Joe Biden

The legendary Kennedy clan will endorse U.S. President Joe Biden during a campaign trip to Philadelphia Thursday -- underscoring the election threat posed by family black sheep and independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Fifteen members of the politically influential family will back Biden amid fears that a strong showing by conspiracy theorist and vaccine-skeptic "RFK Jr" could tilt the victory to Donald Trump in November's US presidential vote.

The U.S. House of Representatives will again vote Saturday on a bill that would force TikTok to divest from Chinese parent company ByteDance or face a nationwide ban.

The measure has been written into a massive $61 billion aid bill for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, which could ease its passage in both chambers of the US Congress.

Deepfake pornography of famous women like Taylor Swift has sparked outrage and calls for the regulation of artificial intelligence. Yet this powerful technology is not only being used to bully women in the public eye – minors are also being victimised. Schoolgirls are finding themselves targeted by AI-generated deepfake porn made by their own classmates using new, easy-to-access "nudifying" apps. And no federal laws exist to stop it.

Francesca Mani was summoned to the vice-principal’s office at Westfield High School in suburban New Jersey last autumn, where she was told that she was a “confirmed AI victim”.

President Joe Biden has frustrated fellow Democrats and his own aides by remaining largely silent on Donald Trump's criminal cases, but that could change with one major development.

The president has ridiculed his Republican rival's tech company and taken shots at his record in office, but Biden so far has shied away from commenting on Trump's prosecutions to avoid politicizing the cases or giving credence to false claims that he's directing those prosecutions, wrote MSNBC columnist Hayes Brown.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) unloaded on House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer (R-KY) over the impeachment inquiry into president Joe Biden, and MSNBC's Joe Scarborough ridiculed the Kentucky Republican's "embarrassing" response.

The Maryland Democrat took issue with GOP lawmakers suggesting the president had accepted bribes from China, and Raskin demanded that Comer hold an impeachment vote immediately if Republicans had any evidence that Biden had taken bribes or committed any other crimes – and the "Morning Joe" host offered up one of his favorite allusions about the inquiry.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough bashed former Attorney General William Barr for conceding that he would vote again for Donald Trump despite saying he would usher in "chaos" in a second term.

Barr oversaw the Justice Department under the quadruple-indicted for president, and he has warned that another Trump presidency would be a "horror show" and a "nightmare," but the "Morning Joe" host noted with bitter irony that Barr told Fox News he would still cast a vote for him in November.

Receiving dignitaries at his Florida estate and courting leaders shunned elsewhere as autocratic, Donald Trump is increasingly leading a shadow diplomacy diametrically opposed to US President Joe Biden.

The Republican mogul, in the unusual role of a former president running again for the top job, has turned to trusted faces both at home and abroad and sought to scuttle some of Biden's top foreign policy priorities.

Donald Trump and Polish President Andrzej Duda discussed the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East over dinner Wednesday in New York, the former US president's reelection campaign said.

Real estate magnate Trump, on a one-day break from court appearances in his hush money criminal trial, hosted Duda at his Trump Tower property in Manhattan.

The United States said Wednesday it will snap back sanctions on Venezuela's crucial oil industry after President Nicolas Maduro's government continued its repression of opponents.

President Joe Biden's administration suspended some sanctions after Maduro's government and the opposition agreed in Barbados last October to hold a free and fair vote in 2024 under the watchful eye of international observers.

The campaign for Donald Trump's 2024 presidential bid has come up with a new way to raise cash — which involves calling on down-ballot candidates who use his name and likeness in fundraising pushes to give him a cut of the money they raise.

“Beginning tomorrow, we ask that all candidates and committees who choose to use President Trump’s name, image, and likeness split a minimum of 5% of all fundraising solicitations to Trump National Committee JFC. This includes, but is not limited to, sending to the house file, prospecting vendors, and advertising,” Trump co-campaign managers Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita wrote in a letter reported on by Politico.

Former Attorney General Bill Barr appears to be endorsing Donald Trump in 2024 after years of decrying the former president, according to a new report.

“I’ve said all along, given two bad choices, I think it’s my duty to pick the person I think would do the least harm to the country, and in my mind, that’s — I will vote the Republican ticket, " Barr said in a Fox News appearance last year.

Reps. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) and James Comer (R-KY) fought a battle of words in a House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing Wednesday over the Republican's beleaguered efforts to impeach President Joe Biden and was almost immediately mocked.

Raskin repeatedly slammed Comer over his party's repeated accusations that Biden had accepted bribes, despite an investigation that has yet to turn up a smoking gun, demanding to know which crime Republicans believed Biden had committed and received a less than specific reply.
