Joe Biden

The infamous @realDonaldTrump Twitter account was permanently suspended two days after his unsuccessful coup attempt, but the legacy of his publicly posted statements has become evidence in his lawsuit against Hillary Clinton, the Democratic National Committee, and others.

In March, Trump filed a lawsuit accusing Democrats of an "unthinkable plot" in 2016 to make him look like Putin's puppet.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A reporter pressured President Joe Biden this week, claiming that a poll of Democrats showed they didn't support him for 2024. Biden corrected the reporter saying that 92 percent of Democrats say that they still support him, however.

Democratic members, even of conservative states, got the same message. Rep. John Yarmuth (D-KY) explained to Raw Story that the generic ballot for Democrats running in 2022 is far better than Biden's so it isn't as if he's turning out to be a drag on the ticket. At the same time, "I saw one poll the other day that has him matched up against [Donald] Trump and he beats Trump."

Calling him “a clear and present danger to democracy in Michigan,” a lawsuit has been filed with the Michigan Court of Appeals seeking to prevent Republican gubernatorial candidate Ryan Kelley from being on the general election ballot.

The suit, filed by Oakland County voter Lee Estes, cites federal charges brought against Kelley in connection to the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection attempt and attack on the U.S. Capitol building.

Texas sued the Biden administration on Thursday over its claim that federal law preempts state law when it comes to performing life-saving abortions.

The lawsuit filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is the latest salvo in the legal frenzy which has erupted since the Supreme Court ruled last month that individual US states can ban or restrict abortion.

Authorities in Indiana said they are investigating a gynecologist who performed an abortion on a 10-year-old girl who had been raped -- a flashpoint case in the wake of the US Supreme Court's decision to overturn the federal right to end a pregnancy.

Caitlin Bernard said earlier this month that she had treated the girl in Indianapolis after being contacted by a colleague in neighboring Ohio.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) is among the many conservatives who denied the reports that a 10-year-old was raped and was forced to seek an abortion in another state.

Jordan tweeted about the story calling it: "Another lie. Anyone surprised?" It quoted a story about Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost's office, which also said that they found no evidence to support the rape charge.

Donald Trump's advisers are urging him to announce a 2024 presidential campaign before Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) testifies before a grand jury in Georgia.

The special grand jury empaneled in Fulton County issued a subpoena to the South Carolina Republican to testify about Trump's efforts to overturn his election loss in the state, and the former president's advisers seem to think he should announce another White House bid to stay ahead of that investigation, reported New York Magazine.

U.S. President Joe Biden said in an interview aired Wednesday that he would be willing to go to war with Iran to prevent the country from obtaining a nuclear weapon, a position that drew condemnation from advocacy groups and foreign policy analysts who questioned the moral, strategic, and legal bases for such a stance.

"It makes absolutely zero sense that he won't delist the IRGC to prevent an Iranian nuke but would launch a war to prevent an Iranian nuke."

After Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) claimed that the slate of fake Trump electors his office passed on to former Vice President Mike Pence came from Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA), the latter Republican vehemently denied any such thing happened.

However, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Kelly appears to be investigating whether it did.

After Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election to now-President Joe Biden, one of the most vocal supporters of the Big Lie in Trump’s cabinet was then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows — who joined Trump in falsely claiming that the 2020 election had been stolen from him and in trying to get the election results overturned. Meadows even discussed his hopes of keeping Trump in the White House with the wife of a U.S. Supreme Court justice: GOP activist and “Stop the Steal” conspiracy theorist Ginni Thomas, who is married to Justice Clarence Thomas.

Journalists Asawin Suebsaeng and Adam Rawnsley examine Meadows’ possible legal exposure in an article published by Rolling Stone on July 13, reporting that “Trump’s inner circle increasingly views Meadows as a likely fall guy for the former president’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election.”

On Thursday, Newsweek reported that a new study finds significant differences in reported mental health among voters who backed former President Donald Trump in 2020, and voters who backed President Joe Biden.

"Overall, a majority (87 percent) of the 1,750 American adults taking part in the study published in Political Research Quarterly declared that their general health was 'about the same,' with 71 percent saying their mental health has also not gotten significantly better or worse since the 2020 presidential election," reported Ewan Palmer. "However, when broken down between those who voted for the former and the current president, those who supported the Republican were less likely to report they now have better mental health, but not general health, than their counterparts who voted for the current president."

Rep. Jim Jordan is facing deep criticism for his recent attempt to downplay reports of a 10-year-old rape victim having to travel to another state to get an abortion.

The Republican lawmaker's remarks came after President Joe Biden mentioned the case last week and signed an executive order to provide certain protections for access to abortions; a move that quickly drew negative reactions from Republicans. Jordan was one of many to express doubt and apprehension about the rape case.
