Joe Biden

Back in 2015, the majority (then and now) Republican state Legislature, together with then-Republican Gov. Scott Walker, engineered the destruction of the effective and nationally heralded non-partisan Government Accountability Board (GAB). The GAB had been established with near unanimous bipartisan support in 2007 in the wake of the infamous Legislative Caucus Scandal of 2001-2002 which resulted in the criminal prosecution and removal from office of five of the top legislative leaders of both political parties. Republicans sought to replace the GAB with a more pliable and partisan entity that they hoped would provide them with greater partisan advantage in future elections.

The result was the establishment of the partisan-appointed WEC which was devised and set up with only Republican input and support — with no buy-in or even consultation with nonpartisan organizations like Common Cause Wisconsin and without any bipartisan legislative support. In 2019, Republican legislators unanimously voted to install the current WEC Administrator, Meagan Wolfe, replacing Mike Haas, who had held the position since 2015.

Far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has a new desperate prayer to God: kill everyone.

Speaking on his Sunday show, Jones' logic was a little convoluted, but essentially he wants the world to be blown up before anyone else can do it.

President Joe Biden is en route to London ahead of a NATO meeting this week. Reporters aboard the plane asked the president a number of questions during the "gaggle," but there was one question that was not asked that Fox's Lucas Tomlinson was very upset about: cocaine.

"Well, a gaggle was just held aboard Air Force One with President Biden heading to Europe," Tomlinson told host Eric Shawn. "Sadly, no reporters asked about the cocaine, so we do not have an immediate update."

Columnist Ellis Henican pushed back against Newsmax host Michael Grimm for criticizing President Joe Biden's leisure time while ignoring former President Donald Trump's White House vacation history.

During a Sunday morning segment about Biden's trip to a Delaware beach, Grimm complained about the image of the president.

A noted political scientist has cautioned House Republicans that attempts to impeach President Joe Biden will blow up in their faces and will severely damage their electoral prospects in the 2024 general election.

In an interview with the Guardian, Larry Sabato of the University of Virginia Center for Politics gave a blunt assessment of the odds of successfully impeaching the president, stating it has no chance of being successful and will instead turn off voters they need if they hope to reclaim the White House and the Senate next year.

At least 45 percent of the United States' tap water is contaminated with toxic "forever" chemicals, according to a study by a government agency.

Found in everyday products such as non-stick frying pans, polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) can linger in the environment for a long time and have been linked to serious health conditions including cancer and birth defects.

President Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday secured Turkey's crucial backing for Ukraine's NATO aspirations after winning a US pledge for cluster munitions that could inflict massive damage on Russian forces on the battlefield.

Washington's decision to deliver the controversial weapons -- banned across a large part of the world but not in Russia or Ukraine -- dramatically ups the stakes in the war, which entered its 500th day Saturday.

A pair of advocacy organizations that have long argued former President Donald Trump's incitement of the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol legally disqualifies him from holding office again plan to make that case with a week of rallies and banner drops beginning on Sunday.

Free Speech for People and Mi Familia Vota are among various groups and legal scholars that cite Section 3 of the 14th Amendment—which bars from office anyone who has taken an oath to support the U.S. Constitution and then "engaged in insurrection or rebellion"—to assert that Trump and some congressional Republicans can't serve in government because of the Capitol attack.
