Newly revealed emails show the U.S. Secret Service received urgent warnings that vice president Mike Pence's life was in danger from right-wing extremists.

Communications obtained by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington show that in the days before January 6, 2021, the Secret Service and other law enforcement agencies were concerned that Donald Trump supporters planned to bring weapons to the U.S. Capitol with the intention of causing violence. But the watchdog group said the agency did not appear to take the threat seriously.

The campaign of Wisconsin Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, who is running to unseat U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, declared Tuesday that the Republican incumbent "is bought and paid for by Big Pharma."

That charge came in response to Johnson's Monday comments about Medicare negotiating the cost of certain prescription drugs, which is included in the Inflation Reduction Act that U.S. President Joe Biden signed into law Tuesday afternoon.

MSNBC's John Heilemann admonished Republicans for circling their wagons around Donald Trump before they even learn the full facts about what top-secret documents he squirreled away at Mar-A-Lago.

Republicans had been cruising toward a congressional majority, but the overturning of Roe v. Wade protections, the Uvalde school shooting and the Jan. 6 committee hearings have dealt the GOP a series of setbacks, and the "Morning Joe" political analyst was baffled by their continued defense of Trump's corruption and extremism.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough revealed a pair of "disturbing" phone calls he had this week with a friend and family member calling for the destruction of the U.S. government as investigators move closer to Donald Trump.

The FBI search of Mar-A-Lago has spooked the former president and enraged his supporters -- which Trump has tried to use as leverage to reduce the heat on himself -- and the "Morning Joe" host said that included some previously "boring" moderates who were now willing to destroy the constitutional republic rather than hold Trump accountable.

On Tuesday, the Houston Chronicle reported that the entire election administration office of Gillespie County, Texas has resigned — following threats and stalking.

"The elections administrator in Gillespie County, which includes Fredericksburg, is stepping down Tuesday over death threats, stalking and understaffing that followed the 2020 election, according to the Fredericksburg Standard-Radio Post," wrote Megan Rodriguez, originally for the San Antonio Express-News. “'I’m understaffed and underpaid and I’ve been asking for help for a while, and at some point, you just have to take care of yourself,' Anissa Herrera told the Standard-Radio Post. But Herrera is not the only person to step down from the county’s elections department. Gillespie County Judge Mark Stroeher told the Standard-Radio Post that the entire staff resigned for similar reasons, leaving the county in a dire situation for the upcoming November election."

Republican Rep. Liz Cheney is expected to lose her primary election for Wyoming's lone seat in Congress once held by her father, but her career in politics is unlikely to end once Tuesday's votes are counted.

“Well, look, I think today, no matter what the outcome is, is certainly the beginning of a battle that is going to continue and is going to go on,” Cheney told CBS News reporter Robert Costa.

A Rochester, N.Y. Fire Department captain has resigned in the wake of allegations that he took three junior firefighters during their shifts to a racist party featuring fried chicken buckets next to Juneteenth posters, among other inappropriate content.

Rochester Mayor Malik Evans today announced that Captain Jeffrey Krywy chose to retire before termination proceedings could begin, TV station Spectrum News 1 in Rochester reported. A recently completed investigation determined Krywy should leave the service.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Over the past several weeks, Americans have learned that the Trump-appointed inspector general at the Department of Homeland Security, Joseph Cuffari, is facing pressure over erased Secret Services text messages. He has been accused of refusing to release documents, blocking interviews, and delaying the probe into the Secret Service.

According to a new report from The Revolving Door Project, a watchdog group at the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), Cuffari is just a small part of the leftover Trump loyalists who are still influencing President Joe Biden's government. At the same time, the search warrant at Mar-a-Lago helped further highlight the culture of the obstruction of justice through document destruction.

Over-the-counter hearing aids will for the first time be available to tens of millions of Americans, officials said Tuesday, in an effort to cut prices from $5,000 a pair.

"For many Americans who suffer from hearing loss, safe and effective and high quality hearing aids have been unaffordable," health secretary Xavier Becerra told reporters in a briefing.

First Lady Dr. Jill Biden has tested positive for COVID-19 and is experiencing mild symptoms, her office announced Tuesday morning. She is being treated with Paxlovid.

"After testing negative for COVID-19 on Monday during her regular testing cadence, the First Lady began to develop cold-like symptoms late in the evening," Dr. Biden's Communications Director Elizabeth Alexander said in a statement.

And that $5 billion is in addition to the other approximately $5 billion in the state’s rainy-day fund, as well as the remainder of the state’s share of federal COVID-19 relief money.

As Georgians continue to feel the pinch of inflation, the economy remains a top issue among voters. In a July Gallup poll, 35% of Americans listed one of several economic issues like inflation and fuel prices as the most important problems facing the country today.
