'Increasing GOP creepiness' is alienating voters party can't afford to lose: analysis

The Bulwark's A.B. Stoddard argued on Monday that former President Donald Trump and his allies' attacks on the legal system that rendered a guilty verdict against him recently would do him no favors with crucial swing voters.

DOJ files 'bratty' new motion in response to Aileen Cannon: analysts

Justice Department prosecutor Jay Bratt is being called a little "bratty" by legal analysts over his recent court filing in the classified documents case, commented legal experts Allison Gill and Andrew McCabe on the "Jack" podcast.

Bratt clashed with Judge Aileen Cannon last week when he filed a request to adjust the bail conditions of former President Donald Trump's release that were set as a condition of his release after his arrest for allegedly retaining top-secret government documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort and obstructing government efforts to retrieve them.

U.S. Fed likely to remain on pause and pare back rate cut expectations

The U.S. Federal Reserve is likely to keep interest rates unchanged this week, but could pare back the number of cuts it has penciled in for this year, as policymakers digest a mixed bag of economic data.

'Sick and depraved' Trump buried for exploiting woman's tragedy in rambling Vegas speech

MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski recoiled in horror after watching clips of Donald Trump's rambling speech in Las Vegas, saying his incoherence was further proof he was "unfit" to serve again as president.

The presumptive Republican nominee's campaign hired extra medics, and allegedly some attendees, to attend the rally Sunday as temperatures ran above 100 degrees, and the "Morning Joe" co-host was disturbed by Trump's inability to stay focused and deliver meaningful remarks after his teleprompters apparently failed to work.

Culinary union official busts Trump for 'wild campaign promises' about servers' tip taxes

Donald Trump on Sunday proclaimed he would find a way not to tax the tips of service workers if he were elected to another term, but that didn't go over well for a culinary union leader.

"I am the only Candidate who has ever called for delivering relief to our wonderful Service Workers by NOT TAXING THEIR TIPS. It was my idea that Tips should not be taxed, and only I will GET IT DONE - And do it IMMEDIATELY upon my return to the White House," Trump wrote Sunday on Truth Social. "Crooked Joe Biden has taken the totally opposite approach, trying to TAX more and more of their Tips, even hiring 88,000 IRS Agents to collect! In fact, Crooked Joe substantially increased the Reporting Requirements for Workers (2023!), and would go still further if I wasn’t here to watch. Biden could never, and will never, get done what I’ve proposed - Just like he never got Student Loan Forgiveness done."
