Lauren Boebert

A California election recount was abruptly canceled this week after a candidate endorsed by Mike Lindell failed to pay the required fees.

Shasta County District 2 Supervisors candidate Laura Hobbs requested a hand recount after Allen Long won by more than 50% of the vote, just 13 more votes than needed to prevent a run-off.

With six months to go before the 2024 election, the House Republican leadership is busy putting out fires and encouraging members of their caucus that things will get better so they should stick around.

According to a report from the Washington Post, there is a severe morale problem among House Republicans who are tired of the chaos that has led to the ousting of previous Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), and the back-biting that has led to a whopping 21 lawmakers who are leaving — five of whom are bailing before the election.

With lawmakers due to return to Washington, DC on Tuesday after a weeks-long recess, many eyes will be on Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) to see if she follows through on her threat to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana).

"CNN This Morning" host Kasie Hunt had her panel laughing on Friday morning after CNN's Melania Zanaon reported that an inebriated Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) had to be cut off by servers at a GOP function where she kept bothering Donald Trump.

As Zanona reported, Boebert was singled out for being "overserved" alcoholic beverages at the event while seated at the same table with the former president and also had to be reined in by his security detail.

"It was a Republican event, Donald Trump was headlining, and the server who was coming to bring alcohol refused to bring her any more alcohol because they thought that she was overserved," Zanona recalled. "She also was trying to take pictures with Donald Trump and eventually Donald Trump's security detail stepped in and asked her to stop doing that, according to those who witnessed it that I spoke to."

"Now, Donald Trump still did endorse her, so clearly he wasn't maybe that bothered by this incident, but a Trump endorsement alone is not going to be enough to put her over the finish line. So she is facing a very tough challenge in that June primary," she added.

"So just to be clear, basically," a smirking Hunt interjected, "She went to a fundraiser in New York City with Donald Trump, got so drunk they had to cut her off? And then tried to take repeated pictures with Trump, and then they had to tell her, 'Hey lady like tone it down,' according to the witnesses?"

As the panelists laughed, Zanona replied, "This is how it went down and I want to remind viewers here that this came a few months after she got in trouble and had to apologize for her conduct at a Denver theater where she was watching a performance, a musical performance of Beetlejuice, she got kicked out for vaping and being loud, and there's security footage of it."

"There was much more than vaping," Hunt added to more laughter.

Multiple sources have told CNN's Melanie Zanona that Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) appeared to be so inebriated at a fundraiser late last year that servers refused to give her any additional booze.

According to the CNN report, Boebert was attending a fundraiser in Manhattan in December when a server determined that she had been "overserved" and "would not bring her any more alcohol."

A convicted Capitol rioter called into a podcast earlier this year in which he downplayed the events of January 6th, 2021 and falsely claimed that he and his fellow rioters "did nothing… we touched a gate."

As reported by CBS News' Scott MacFarlane, Judge Royce Lamberth on Wednesday cited MAGA rioter Taylor Johnatakis' January 2024 appearance on a podcast to cast doubt on the sincerity of the contrition that he had expressed previously to the court.

A panel on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Wednesday hammered Senate Republicans for failing to drive a stake into the heart of former President Donald Trump's political career when they had the chance.

The discussion was sparked by Jeffrey Goldberg, an editor at The Atlantic, talking about his recent interview with former Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) in which he deflected criticism of his decision to acquit Trump at his second impeachment trial that came shortly after the former president incited a deadly riot at the United States Capitol building.

The chairperson behind a group's legal opinion that was used to overturn federal abortion rights now worries that women will be left to "back-alley abortion butchers."
