Joe Biden

President Joe Biden's sister has released a new book that talks about her life growing up as the youngest of the four Biden children.

Speaking to "The View" about Growing Up Biden, on Tuesday, she was challenged on her brother's Pollyanna-ish way of viewing Republicans in Washington. Co-host Sunny Hostin noted that Joe Biden sat next to the first Black president for eight years and watched what the GOP did to him. She asked how Biden could still view them with such optimism.

According to a report from Politico's Ally Mutnik, a vote by a House Republican for a massive infrastructure bill sought by President Joe Biden last year is having reverberations as the lawmaker who sided with the Democrats vies for the nomination in a consolidated district with a GOP colleague who voted against it.

As the report notes, Reps. David McKinley and Alex Mooney are facing off against each other after West Virginia lost a seat due to redistricting. The infrastructure vote has taken center stage in a battle of accusations and finger-pointing.

Fox Business host Stuart Varney interrupted a breaking news "alert" about a shooting in Brooklyn to spend several minutes complaining about President Joe Biden's gun control efforts.

As a manhunt was underway for a gunman who injured at least 16 people on the subway, the Fox Business host changed the subject.

In a column for MSNBC, political analyst Steve Benen suggested that retired football player Herschel Walker is completely out of his depth as an aspiring candidate for the Republican nomination to oppose Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA).

According to Benen, a recent appearance by Walker on Fox News -- combined with his skipping a debate appearance with other Republicans seeking the nomination -- demonstrated that he has no grasp of the issues and is blatantly faking it when pressed to explain his positions.

Political science professor and MSNBC political contributor Dr. Jason Johnson did not hold back Monday evening when discussing the current state of American politics. He suggested the GOP is a "dime store front for a terrorist organization called 'MAGA,'" and warned that its "true believers" are "dangerous people" who are "a danger to our democracy."

After discussing Alabama's Republican Governor Kay Ivey's decision to go all-in on The Big Lie and declare Donald Trump the winner of the "stolen" 2020 presidential election despite all evidence to the contrary, he unleashed his attack on the entire GOP.

It's just a small box to tick on an application form, but a huge breakthrough for D. Ojeda, a non-binary person who on Monday became one of the first Americans to apply for a gender-neutral passport.

"Even with my family, they still don't get it," said Ojeda, a 34-year-old activist who goes by D. and uses the pronouns "they, them." "So at least I have the government to say who I am as a person."

Thousands of Latino refugees arrive in the Mexican city of Tijuana each year, dreaming of one day crossing the border that separates them from the United States.

But as Ukrainians who fled Russia's invasion have recently begun to cross the same frontier with little delay, many Latinos stuck waiting for months are wondering why they are not being treated the same.

A class-action lawsuit has been announced after a pro-Donald Trump crypto-currency was launched, leaving investors broke. Those suing purchased a digital currency named after the right-wing slogan "Let's Go, Brandon." Now they're saying that they were the victims of a pump-and-dump scheme by the insiders, the Daily Beast reported.

The slogan "Let's Go, Brandon," is a phrase that is supposed to mean, "F*ck Joe Biden." It has never been clear why Trump supporters have censored themselves from saying the phrase, but it has become a major slogan in Trumpworld. The popularity of the meme expanded to such a degree the cryptocurrency was named after it.

On Monday, President Joe Biden announced a first-of-its kind new gun regulation enacted by executive order that will restrict unserialized kits that allow people to assemble untraceable so-called "ghost guns," and make ownership of certain existing unserialized guns illegal.

Under the new rules, "firearm" and "frame and receiver" will be defined to include so called "buy build shoot" kits, and manufacturers of components used in ghost guns will be required to use the federal background check system on buyers.

On Monday, ABC News reported that infamous right-wing lawyer John Eastman tried to persuade Republicans in the Wisconsin General Assembly to "decertify" that state's 2020 election results showing President Joe Biden as the winner — last month.

"Eastman, a right-wing lawyer who drafted a plan for former President Donald Trump to cling to power by falsely claiming then-Vice President Mike Pence could reject legitimate electors during the 2020 presidential election, was part of a small group of Trump allies who secured a private meeting last month to try and convince the Republican leader of the Wisconsin state Assembly to decertify President Joe Biden’s win, multiple sources familiar with the meeting told ABC," reported Will Steakin, Katherine Faulders, and Laura Romero.

The Republican National Committee on Monday tweeted a bizarre attack on President Joe Biden that implied he was anti-Semitic -- and that drew an immediate backlash.

The RNC's opposition research department tweeted out a video of Biden light-heartedly telling Steve Dettelbach, his nominee to lead the Bureau of Alchol, Tobacco and Firearms, that he "was responsible for the weather" in Washington D.C.

Attorney Alan Dershowitz, who formerly defended former Donald Trump during his first impeachment, told the conservative outlet Newsmax that he he doesn't think the investigation into Hunter Biden's emails regarding his foreign business dealings will incriminate his father, President Joe Biden.

"You'd have to prove complicity by quote, 'the big man,'" Dershowitz said. "It's not enough for 'the big man' to be mentioned in an email. There have to be emails from the person who was the target or the subject of the investigation. Remember, hearsay is inadmissible. So I think there's a long, long row to hoe before you get anywhere close to the president of the United States," he added.
