Marjorie Taylor Greene

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is doubling down on her defense of the man who has been charged under the Espionage Act for his alleged release of confidential military documents.

Just one day after complaining that Jack Douglas Teixeira was being treated as a “traitor and criminal” and crediting him for “exposing the truth," Greene posted on Twitter that the true focus should be on the content of the leak, and not on the 21-year-old Massachusetts Air National Guard member who allegedly leaked government secrets in an online discord group.

Peter Wehner, a former speechwriter for President George W. Bush, has taken stock of the Tennessee Republican Party and has found that it has completely succumbed to the malign influence of former President Donald Trump.

Wehner begins his latest essay in The Atlantic by delivering a scathing assessment of the party's decision to ouster of Black Democratic State Reps. Justin Jones and Justin Pearson, taking particular exception to Republican House Speaker Cameron Sexton, who argued that what the two Democrats did to merit expulsion might have been worse than the violent riots that broke out at the United States Capitol building on January 6th, 2021.

One of Tennessee's most influential gun lobbyists has told News Channel 5 Nashville that citizens have the "right" to violently overthrow their government.

During the interview, journalist Phil Williams asked gun rights activist John Harris, who regularly lobbies state lawmakers against enacting any gun restrictions, about incendiary memes he had posted on Facebook, including one that suggested conservatives give up on voting and instead "take a road trip to Nashville" to fix problems with the Tennessee state government.

Appearing on CNN on Friday morning, former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) hit out at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) for racing to Twitter to praise and defend Air National Guard member Jack Teixeira, who was accused of leaking classified military documents.

Just hours after Teixeira was taken into custody, Taylor Greene -- who opposes military aid to Ukraine -- blasted officials for arresting him, writing on Twitter: "Jack Teixeira is white, male, christian,[sic] and antiwar. That makes him an enemy to the Biden regime. And he told the truth about troops being on the ground in Ukraine and a lot more. Ask yourself who is the real enemy? A young low level national guardsmen? Or the administration that is waging war in Ukraine, a non-NATO nation, against nuclear Russia without war powers?"

Donald Trump spent Thursday in a New York courtroom testifying in a civil fraud lawsuit, and although it’s not clear how it went from a legal standpoint, the former president at least got to rehearse a campaign talking point.

That’s according to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), who said in a Twitter post that she spoke with Trump after his second New York court appearance in as many weeks.

Donald Trump Jr. is the latest right-wing political figure to heap praise upon the suspect who was arrested Thursday in connection with the leak of highly sensitive classified documents.

Just after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said Jack Douglas Teixeira was being treated as a “traitor and criminal” and credited him for “exposing the truth," Trump's son said on his "Triggered" podcast that he has changed his thinking on issues related to leaking government documents. Specifically, he compared Teixeira to Julian Assange and Edward Snowden, and said that, "Maybe it's just the US government is a bad actor."

A legal expert is sounding the alarm that former President Donald Trump's racially-charged attacks and threats against Black prosecutors investigating him could escalate safety threats for Black prosecutors all over the country, reported ABC 7.

"Former President Donald Trump continues to criticize Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg after pleading not guilty to 34 felony counts last Tuesday," reported Crystal Cranmore. "Trump's attacks don't stop there, from social media posts threatening death and destruction to his rallies. He's taken shots at a Georgia prosecutor investigating possible criminal behavior by Trump in the 2020 presidential election surrounding his efforts to overturn the results. The former president has also condemned New York Attorney General Letitia James for looking into his business dealings, calling each of these three Black prosecutors racist."

Fresh off reports that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas accepted luxury travel and accommodations from billionaire GOP megadonor Harlan Crow without any disclosure, a new report reveals Thomas also sold Crow his family home without disclosing it — which experts say is a much more clear-cut violation of federal ethics laws.

ProPublica reporter Josh Kaplan, who broke the story, delved into more detail on CNN's "The Lead" Thursday.

The California Capitol building was reopened today after being closed for more than an hour due to a "credible threat" by someone being sought in connection with other local shootings.

The individual who threatened to shoot up the state Capitol is believed to have fired shots at the Kaiser Permanente Roseville Medical building and outside another local business on Wednesday, according to KCRA and other local news sources. Some lawmakers were forced to evacuate the building, but they were let in after a little more than an hour, Fox 5 reports.

A substitute teacher in Las Vegas has been fired after an investigation into a racial incident that happened in the classroom, reported NewsNation on Thursday.

"Parents and guardians received a letter Tuesday from Silvestri Junior High School principal Yvette Tippetts notifying them of the incident," reported Joshua Peguero. "Students and parents tell NewsNation affiliate KLAS it involved a classroom incident where the substitute teacher wrote a racial slur used to reference Black people on the whiteboard ... KLAS also received videos capturing the teacher writing the racial slur as students in the classroom are yelling that’s 'crazy' and 'no.'"

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is questioning the treatment of the suspect who was arrested Thursday in connection with the leak of highly sensitive classified documents.

Jack Douglas Teixeira, a 21-year-old Massachusetts Air National Guard member, was arrested by federal agents Thursday, Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a news release.

On Wednesday, April 12, Sen. Tim Scott (R-South Carolina) announced that he had launched a presidential exploratory committee. Scott's admirers welcomed the announcement; they see him as a conservative Republican with a positive vision and a less divisive, less combative figure than former President Donald Trump or Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (who appears to be gearing up for a presidential run).

But Never Trump conservative Amanda Carpenter has a very different view of the South Carolina Republican. In a biting article published by The Bulwark on April 13, Carpenter argues that Scott is much more MAGA than his cheerleaders would have us believe.
