Joe Biden

Former President Donald Trump claimed Monday that the United Auto Workers union would be destroyed if it helps to build what he called President Joe Biden's "electric car hoax."

"The once fabled United Autoworkers of America will soon go OUT OF BUSINESS under Crooked Joe Biden if he is allowed to pull off his ALL ELECTRIC CAR HOAX," wrote Trump on Truth Social.

Donald Trump boasts that his indictments will only help his re-election chances, but his social media posts suggest he's aware that might not be true.

The former president is scheduled to stand trial in special counsel Jack Smith's election interference case starting on March 4, the day before the Super Tuesday primary election in more than a dozen states, and he again claimed the charges had been brought in two federal courts, as well as Georgia and New York, by President Joe Biden to damage his re-election chances.

Bells were rung and the names of nearly 3,000 people were read out in somber ceremonies in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania on Monday to mark the 22nd anniversary of the Al-Qaeda attack on the United States.

Vice President Kamala Harris and current and former mayors of New York joined victims' families at the 9/11 memorial on the site of the World Trade Center twin towers brought down by two aircraft flown by hijackers.

In a post to X Monday, Georgia GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene declared that states should secede from the U.S. if President Joe Biden doesn't "stop" the flow of drugs into the country by drug cartels.

"If the Biden admin refuses to stop the invasion of cartel-led human and drug trafficking into our country, states should consider seceding from the union," Greene wrote.

Monday marks the 22nd anniversary of the attacks of September 11, 2001. While most politicians are keeping partisanship out of it—even, uncharacteristically, Donald Trump—Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene took the time to slam President Joe Biden in her tribute.

"Today, we remember the lives taken from us by the hands of Islamic terrorism 22 years ago. Americans are still dying and suffering from the toxic chemicals and dust they endured after the buildings fell. Let us also not forget the betrayal of everyone who died that fateful day by the Biden Administration who handed over weapons and ceded the territory we held in the Middle East to the Taliban, who works with Al-Qaeda, the very enemy we sought to defeat after decades of fighting and lost American lives," Greene wrote on X, alongside a photo of firefighters lowering a flag to half-mast.

A whistleblower testifying in Ken Paxton's impeachment trial revealed that the Texas attorney general ordered his staff to investigate federal agents on behalf of a friend.

On Monday, former staffer Mark Penley told the impeachment jurors that he thought Paxton's favor for businessman Nate Paul was "insane." Penley said Paxton wanted investigations of agencies involved in a raid on Paul's home.

Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) likened President Joe Biden's administration to terror mastermind Osama bin Laden on the anniversary of 9/11.

Norman made the remarks during a Sept. 11 remembrance podcast with host Steve Bannon.

Former President Donald Trump is "desperately" trying to convince himself that he is not declining into dementia and has the mental acuity to take on President Joe Biden in 2024 – and he is terrified of how he looks to others, wrote Heather Digby Parton for Salon on Monday.

This is made apparent by one of his weekend rants on Truth Social, she argued, in which he proclaimed, "In a phony and probably rigged Wall Street Journal poll, coming out of nowhere to softened the mental incompetence blow that is so obvious with Crooked Joe Biden, they ask about my age and mentality. Where did that come from? A few years ago I was the only one to agree to a mental acuity test, & ACED IT."

As many as 146,000 auto workers could go on strike this week—the largest strike by active employees in 25 years in the United States. Though the strike in Hollywood by actors and writers is larger than the potential UAW strike—with over 170,000 walking the picket lines—many of those were not working on projects when the strike hit, CNN reported.

United Auto Workers are in negotiations with American auto manufacturers Ford, General Motors and Stellantis over a new four-year contract, according to CNN. The contracts run out Thursday night. Nearly all members, 97%, voted to authorize a strike, according to WXYZ-TV.

A new watchdog report found that House Republicans have repeatedly overhyped allegations of corruption against President Joe Biden without producing solid evidence.

The Congressional Integrity Project faulted House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer (R-KY) for "eight months of abject failure" to prove the president was guilty of wrongdoing related to his son, Hunter Biden, although polls show the effort had convinced 42 percent of Americans that he had acted illegally, reported The Guardian.

Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan's efforts to challenge corporate consolidation across the U.S. economy—from gaming to pharmaceuticals to semiconductors—have drawn vocal outrage from industry-backed Republican lawmakers and other mouthpieces for big business.

And now, according to the Financial Times, some of the Democratic Party's Wall Street donors are privately calling on President Joe Biden to fire Khan if he wins reelection in 2024.

With budget negotiations heating up and the far-right Republican Party House members clamoring for impeachment hearings on President Joe Biden, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is entering the most fraught period of his already tenuous speakership.

Now, according to a new report from Politico, the threat to his leadership is coming from GOP moderates who are furious with the California Republican letting the likes of Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) set the agenda and dictate policy.

As Politico is reporting, "interviews with more than two dozen GOP members and aides reveal that it would take only a few rogue lawmakers hell-bent on his downfall to risk McCarthy’s fate in an entirely new way, sending their party spiraling into a new period of chaos."
