The campaign for Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) outlined in a new Friday filing with the Federal Election Commission how their latest statement came to have $362.04 in combined fraudulent charges to Apple.

"In regards to the F99 filed on 1/19/23, the committee wishes to clarify that the fraudulent charges on the committee debit cards were a result of an external source, and not due to any internal staff or negligence on the behalf of the campaign," wrote campaign treasurer David Cole. "As noted, the charges were immediately disputed, the card cancelled, and all funds have been fully returned to the campaign. Remaining credits will be reported on the April quarterly report."

As the 2024 presidential election campaign season hits its stride, the changing dynamic of the race in both parties is obvious, according to a New York Times report -- former President Donald Trump has scared away many potential opponents and the Democratic party has fallen in line to support President Joe Biden.

Four leading potential Democratic candidates to challenge Biden, California Governor Gavin Newsom, Colorado Governor Jared Polis, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, have all gone dormant about a potential run for the nomination.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) called on regular citizens to shoot down the suspected Chinese spy balloon that is currently drifting across the central United States in a tweet on Friday.

"Literally every regular person I know is talking about how to shoot down the Chinese Spy Balloon," wrote Greene, a controversial lawmaker famous for her promotion of the QAnon conspiracy theory. "It would be great if an average Joe shot it down because China Joe won’t. Regular Americans can do everything better than the government and actually care about our country."

New York Times columnist Paul Krugman is among the economists who has been sounding the alarm about the United States’ debt ceiling, warning that if the U.S. defaults on its debt obligations, it could trigger a major financial crisis. Krugman is vehemently critical of the way in which far-right House Republicans have been handling debt ceiling talks, and in his February 2 column, he accuses them of being willing to “burn things down” if they don’t get their way.

Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives, especially members of the far-right House Freedom Caucus, have been demanding spending cuts. But Democrats, including President Joe Biden and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, have maintained that cuts to either Social Security or Medicare are off the table.

Representative Jim Jordan's new political strategy of being less of an alarmist with slower, more strategic responses is being met with skepticism from his Democratic colleagues on the other side of the aisle, according to a new CNN report.

The newly-minted Republican House majority has long signalled plans to turn the tables on Democrats after years of criminal and civil investigations into former president Donald Trump.

With a Chinese surveillance balloon flying over American skies, former President Donald Trump's eldest son is calling on his supporters in Montana to take matters into their own hands.

Writing on Twitter, Trump Jr. criticized President Joe Biden for letting the balloon enter U.S. airspace and said that it was time for patriotic Montanans to shoot down the balloon themselves.

A newly released audio recording revealed former President Donald Trump's campaign acknowledging his loss in Wisconsin while plotting to push baseless allegations of widespread fraud that were repeatedly debunked by election officials and the courts.

The audio — obtained by the Associated Press on Thursday — captured a Nov. 5, 2020 strategy session in Wisconsin, two days after the election. The political operatives in the session appear to praise the Democratic turnout in one of the state's largest counties and even joked about their opponents' efforts to engage Black voters.

China voiced regret Friday for an "unintentional" breach of US airspace by what it said was a civilian airship -- but the Pentagon called a spy balloon -- with a long-planned Beijing visit by Secretary of State Antony Blinken hanging in the balance.

The Pentagon said Thursday it was tracking the balloon which flew far above the western state of Montana and decided for safety reasons not to shoot it down.

Rep. James Comer (R-KY) on Friday expressed fears that China could launch "bioweapons" at the people of Montana from a balloon that the United States Department of Defense said on Friday was being used for espionage purposes.

Speaking with Fox News' Harris Faulkner, Comer said the balloon's presence over American skies was evidence of President Joe Biden's "weakness" on China, and said that the balloon should have never been allowed to enter American airspace.

A pair of Tennessee Republicans want to rename a street memorializing the late Rep. John Lewis to instead honor Donald Trump.

State Sen. Frank Nicely (R-Strawberry Plains) and State Rep. Paul Sherrell (R-Sparta) introduced a bill that would rename a portion of Rep. John Lewis Way to President Donald Trump Boulevard. The street is near the Capitol Building in Nashville, reported WKRN-TV.

The Chinese balloon that floated into United States airspace this week isn't being shot down because of fears it would trigger a massive explosion.

The balloon, spotted over Montana Wednesday, was determined by the U.S. to be a rudimentary surveillance device. It was such a concern that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin convened a call with the top military to discuss whether or not to shoot it down.

A newly released audio recording reveals Donald Trump's campaign team in Wisconsin scheming to promote the defeated president's election fraud lies.
