'Cocktail of drugs': Trump makes wild new claims in email begging supporters for cash

Former President Donald Trump pushed out a hyperbolic and conspiracy-laden fundraising email to his supporters with just a day to go before the CNN presidential debate between himself and President Joe Biden, headlined, "THE GLOVES ARE COMING OFF!

"I'm bringing out the BIG GUNS before I step into the ring with Crooked Joe Biden tomorrow - THAT MEANS [recipient's name]!" stated the email. "Sleepy Joe is relying on a cocktail of drugs to keep him upright and awake. He's relying on highly-biased moderators like FAKE Tapper to feed him softball questions. And he's relying on his army of so-called fact checkers to spread LIE AFTER LIE on his behalf."

'Whiny weak victim': Adam Kinzinger crushes Trump as he crosses the aisle to back Biden

Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) opened up on CNN Wednesday morning about his decision to endorse President Joe Biden's re-election — one of the most prominent Republican politicians to have crossed the aisle so far in this way.

Kinzinger, an Air Force veteran and a longtime critic of Trump, was one of a handful of conservative Republicans who voted to impeach the former president, and went on to join the House Select Committee investigating the January 6 attack. In his latest interview, he emphasized just how much harm he believes Trump has done to America and why it's important to keep him out of power.

President Joe Biden is getting some sharp debating advice from a highly unlikely source.

'Morbid, ghastly and predictable': Trump's favorite tactic to score points sickens writer

Trump's 'cynical' tip tax ploy will burn America's workforce: Harvard professor

A controversial campaign promise from former President Donald Trump is little more than a sly plot to benefit corporations under the guise of supporting the working class, a Harvard University professor argued Monday.

Trump's pledge to exempt tips from federal income tax could destroy full-time jobs and force workers into tipped positions vulnerable to exploitative employers and customers with the right to withhold the bulk of their pay, Sharon Block, executive director of Harvard Law's Center for Labor and a Just Economy, argued in an MSNBC op-ed Monday.
