The Republican Party's debt-ceiling hostage scheme has benefited from the support of the United States' largest corporate lobbying organization, which has given its stamp of approval to the GOP's push for major federal spending cuts, punitive new work requirements for aid programs, and permitting changes sought by the fossil fuel industry.

While House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's (R-Calif.) office has reportedly not met with representatives of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce during the debt ceiling standoff, a representative of the powerful business group said earlier this week that such a meeting would be pointless given that the Chamber and the GOP are so closely aligned.

Florida's Republican Governor Ron DeSantis is under fresh fire after launching his presidential campaign and declaring he believes the Federal Bureau of Investigation and even the U.S. Dept. of Justice are not "independent" agencies, and they should be subject to the scrutiny of the President of the United States.

After disgraced GOP President Richard Nixon left office, a virtual wall between the White House and the U.S. Dept. of Justice, including especially the FBI, was created to prevent turning the chief law enforcement agencies of the federal government into political, partisan tools to do the bidding of the nation's chief executive and Commander-in Chief.

Ron DeSantis on Friday appeared to side with a parent with ties to an extremist group that promotes violence who was behind an elementary school's ban of a book by National Youth Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman.

The Florida governor, who on Wednesday announced his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination, appeared to support Daily Salinas, whose complaint led a Florida public school to restrict access to “The Hill We Climb,” a book adaptation of the poem Gorman recited at President Joe Biden’s inauguration.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) proclaimed last week to be “Impeachment Week” – and it’s probably fair to say it has nothing to do with a GOP-led Texas House committee’s recommendation to impeach the state’s attorney general.

The far-right congresswoman from Georgia, who earlier this year called the Jan. 6 defendants accused of storming the Capitol “political prisoners,” is seeking the impeachment of President Joe Biden and four of his “America Last” executive appointees.

Sen. Bernie Sanders said late Thursday that cuts to aid programs for vulnerable people should be "off the table" entirely as Republican negotiators and the Biden White House reportedly closed in on a deal that would raise the debt ceiling in exchange for a two-year cap on non-military discretionary spending.

Sanders (I-Vt.), chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, toldCNN's Anderson Cooper that Republicans have engaged in "an outrageous display of extremist politics" by "holding hostage the entire world economy unless they get what they want."

A Donald Trump-supporting software forensics expert investigated Mike Lindell's claims that China interfered in the 2020 election, and he found the MyPillow CEO's allegations were "nonsense."

The pillow magnate has sunk tens of millions of his own money into probes that he believes will prove his conspiracy theories about Trump's loss, but tech executive Bob Zeidman -- who claims to have invented the field of analyzing software source code to determine its origins -- disproved those claims and explained how he did it in a new column for Politico.
