Joe Biden

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) accused the Biden administration of having "legalized human trafficking of millions" in a new post on X (formerly Twitter) Tuesday.

"The Biden admin has created the most dangerous national security crisis in history. They’ve legalized human trafficking of millions, allowed 1.8 million gotaways, and are harboring illegals at the taxpayer’s expense! Treasonous! Impeach Mayorkas!" Greene wrote.

Republicans have spent the past year throwing multiple accusations at President Joe Biden and his family -- but still haven't come up with any proof of wrongdoing that could justify impeaching him.

Washington Post columnist Philip Bump penned a piece explaining that House Oversight Committee chair, Rep. James Comer (R-KY) came into Congress a year ago promising that he would use his power to uncover if Biden was being bribed by China, Russia and Ukraine. He pledged to find "a legislative fix" to address influence-peddling in Congress.

The latest Apple Watch models, the Watch Series 9 and Watch Ultra 2, cannot be imported into the United States. The ban from the International Trade Commission went into effect Tuesday over allegations of patent infringement.

Sixty days ago, the ITC issued the ban on the new Apple Watch. The new models have a feature that measures blood oxygen saturation in the wearer. Masimo, a manufacturer of technologies that determine a person's blood oxygen levels, accused Apple of infringing on its patents. Apple had previously attempted to partner with Masimo on incorporating its technology into Apple devices, according to The Verge.

It's a little less than a year before the election and Donald Trump has been up and running his campaign for the early primary states for months. The political polls show Trump and President Joe Biden dancing back and forth between who is leading, with both always in the margin of error.

Legal expert Norm Eisen, pollster Celinda Lake and campaign researcher Anat Shenker-Osorio explained in The New York Times that there is one key detail that is being ignored in all of the polls. Most polls are asking whether voters would still support Trump if he is convicted by a jury of his peers -- and the polls consistently show that a conviction would damage him.

Democrats have enjoyed some major victories in Pennsylvania in recent years, including Justice Daniel McCaffery's win in a state supreme court race in 2023. The previous year, Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pennsylvania) flipped a U.S. Senate seat that had been mostly in GOP hands for decades, and Gov. Josh Shapiro enjoyed a double-digit landslide win over far-right MAGA Republican Doug Mastriano.

But Pennsylvania is a volatile swing state where candidates have to work extra hard in statewide races. 2024 GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump won Pennsylvania in 2016 but lost it to now-President Joe Biden in 2020, and Biden's reelection campaign views Pennsylvania as a must-win state. Many polls are showing a very close race in the Keystone State in a hypothetical Trump/Biden rematch.

On the first "Morning Joe" episode the day after Christmas, the pared-down MSNBC panel immediately pounced on Donald Trump for his ugly tirade on Truth Social where his Christmas message included wishing people would "rot in hell."

Fill-in in host Jonathan Lemire kicked off the discussion by reading from the former president's post where Trump wrote, "Merry Christmas to all, including Crooked Joe Biden’s ONLY HOPE, Deranged Jack Smith, the out of control Lunatic who just hired outside attorneys, fresh from the SWAMP (unprecedented!), to help him with his poorly executed WITCH HUNT against 'TRUMP' and 'MAGA' Included also are World Leaders, both good and bad, but none of which are as evil and 'sick' as the THUGS we have inside our Country who, with their Open Borders, INFLATION, Afghanistan Surrender, Green New Scam, High Taxes, No Energy Independence, Woke Military, Russia/Ukraine, Israel/Iran, All Electric Car Lunacy, and so much more, are looking to destroy our once great USA. MAY THEY ROT IN HELL. AGAIN, MERRY CHRISTMAS!"

Lemire then turned to Rev. Al Sharpton and asked, "The anger from Donald Trump, the bad faith attacks about his political opponents, what does that say to you just about where he is right now mentally and emotionally as this year draws to a close and we barrel into an election year?"

"It's two things," Sharpton began. "I think it shows that these indictments and the civil case, despite his pretense otherwise, has gotten to him, because he's reacting and responding in a way of no one projecting self-confidence or like this is nothing."

"I also think it shows an inner kind of anger and displacement that he has, because who spends the holiday with this kind of venom, particularly when he is a guy that claims to be this self-confident, self-made guy with this kind of darkness, unless you are just that kind of dark person," he added.

"We've certainly gotten used to Trump's unorthodox holiday messages, 'the haters,' but this one hit a new low, even for him," Lemire chipped in.

The New York Times is reporting that former President Donald Trump is planning to reignite trade wars with foreign nations if he's reelected next year in a move the paper describes as "a high-stakes gamble with the economy’s health."

While Trump levied tariffs on foreign competitors in his first term, the Times reports that a second term would see that effort go into overdrive with the goal of severing the economic relationship between the United States and China.
