Joe Biden

The Justice Department has turned down the House Republicans' demand for the audio of special counsel Robert Hur's interview with President Joe Biden.

While Hur answered questions before the House Judiciary Committee in March, his report sent conservative lawmakers into a celebration when the special counsel claimed Biden would never be convicted because he comes across as a grandfatherly old man who doesn't remember anything.

Only six months after former Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was ousted as House speaker following a "motion to vacate" triggered by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is threatening to do the same thing to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA).

As Greene sees it, Johnson has betrayed the MAGA movement by being willing to negotiate with President Joe Biden and Democrats on funding the federal government and military aid to Ukraine.

House Republicans' efforts to impeach President Joe Biden have not gone well.

First, the person House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) touted as their star witness against the Bidens, Alexander Smirnov was arrested for allegedly lying to the FBI.

At an exclusive fundraiser in Palm Beach, Florida over the weekend, former President Donald Trump vaguely told reporters that he's running for president again because "people are wanting change"—but was more specific about the kind of change he plans to spearhead when he addressed some of his richest donors at the event hosted by a billionaire hedge fund investor.

A readout of the Republican's 45-minute remarks showed that Trump called for his supporters to help him "turn our country around" by taking steps including "extending the Trump Tax Cuts."

President Joe Biden on Monday urged Americans to enjoy watching this afternoon's full solar eclipse — but he couldn't resist also using the opportunity to take a shot at former President Donald Trump.

In a post shared on his Twitter account, Biden informed his followers that "an eclipse is worth marveling at," before adding, "But don't be silly, folks, play it safe and wear protective eyewear."

President Joe Biden's campaign on Monday whacked former President Donald Trump after he attempted to pivot on the issue of abortion by saying that the issue will now be left to individual states.

In a statement issued shortly after Trump's announcement, Biden hammered Trump for once again boasting about his role in overturning Roe v. Wade, which has paved the way for states to implement abortion bans that have proven increasingly unpopular with swing voters.

The Republican National Committee is experiencing a host of problems in the wake of its takeover by allies of Donald Trump, causing his campaign to privately admonish the RNC's new leaders over their performance. Now, insiders are saying the MAGA takeover of the RNC has partly backfired and the consequences will be far-reaching.

Just days after the organization's new chair Michael Whatley and new co-chair Lara Trump were elected, entire teams were informed by email that they could reapply for their jobs or else be terminated. In their subsequent job interviews, the staffers were reportedly asked questions such as whether they thought the 2020 election was stolen — an attempt to weed out anyone who was not completely loyal to Trump.

Two different pro-Trump groups are plotting a new campaign aimed at the mass purge of voter rolls in key swing states, and Wired reports that their overarching goal will be to "intimidate and harass voters and election officials."

The groups in question are True the Vote, which has become notorious for pushing evidence-free claims about election fraud in the 2020 race, and the America Project, which was founded by disgraced former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn.

Congress comes back into to session this week and the Washington Post reports that House Republicans "are dreading their return to Washington" because their caucus's "deep divisions will jeopardize high-stakes legislation in a way that may end in the ouster of Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA)."

At the center of the intra-Republican feud is funding to help Ukraine resist Russia's military invasion, which is staunchly opposed by hardliners such as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who has openly said she'll push to oust Johnson as speaker if he puts a bill providing aid to the country on the House floor.

A group of New Yorkers will troop into a Manhattan courthouse in a week to perform the time-honored civic duty known as jury service.

But the case they may decide is like no other in American history -- the first ever criminal trial of a former US president.

Rural white voters have long enjoyed outsize power in American politics. They have inflated voting power in the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House and the Electoral College.

Although there is no uniform definition of “rural,” and even federal agencies cannot agree on a single standard, roughly 20% of Americans live in rural communities, according to the Census Bureau’s definition. And three-quarters of them – or approximately 15% of the U.S. population – are white.
