Former Fox host says Sarah Palin can join the 'backbenchers' caucus in Congress 'who never do anything'

Sarah Palin made an announcement on April 1, but she wasn't joking. She is, in fact, running for Congress in Alaska, along with 40 other candidates. Palin has never fully disappeared, despite conservatives making themselves in her image. Speaking to CNN on Sunday, former Fox host Chris Stirewalk said that Palin would be the perfect addition to a kind of loser caucus that never actually accomplishes anything in Congress other than to "be famous."

Speaking to CNN's Jim Acosta, The Grio's April Ryan quoted LL Cool J, "Don't call it a comeback. I've been here for years."

HBO "Real Time" host Bill Maher warned his viewers of the candidates that Republicans are fielding in the 2022 midterm elections.

The host noted, "we are now only seven months away midterm elections that are poised to make the Republicans much more powerful, so attention must be paid where the Republican Party is right now. You'd think with the left going a little loony after the past few years, Republicans would've seen an opening to grab the sensible center. But no."

Paul Gosar says he's 'given up' on collaborating with white nationalist who has 'a problem with his mouth'

On Friday, POLITICO reported that Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) is now blaming his video attendance of the America First Political Action Conference headed up by white nationalist Nick Fuentes as a "staffing error" — and that he had no idea who Fuentes was or what ideology the conference was promoting. The conference was also attended by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).

"'It wasn't supposed to go to Nick’s group,' Gosar told POLITICO, noting that a staffer 'misconstrued' directions from his chief of staff. The tape was intended to go to other groups as a general 'welcome video,' he added," said the report. "'We're kind of short-handed,' he said. 'And there was miscommunication.'"

Trump’s Republican revenge tour falters in Georgia

When the dust settles on the 2022 elections in Georgia, Donald Trump’s loudest critics and fiercest supporters will probably agree on one thing: the state’s politics will be forever changed by his fixation on the 2020 election here.

Speaking on a windy Saturday evening at a former drag racing strip in Commerce, northeast of Atlanta, the former president touted a slate of seven GOP primary challengers and continued a scorched-earth approach against incumbent Gov. Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and their allies for failing to attempt to overturn his 2020 defeat.

Trump has another way to steal the presidency back — but Congress can stop him?

The House select committee will likely recommend changes to the Electoral Count Act in response to the Jan. 6 insurrection, but a constitutional change may be needed to prevent Donald Trump from stealing back the presidency.

The former president and his allies -- including Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas -- pressured vice president Mike Pence to exploit ambiguities in the 1887 law regulating the congressional process for certifying elections to overturn Trump's 2020 loss, but there's another way he might corruptly return to power, argued political strategist Scott Anderson for Politico Magazine.

Roger Stone blasts ‘corrupt’ McCarthy and claims Madison Cawthorn still thinks the ‘drug-filled orgies’ are real

Longtime Donald Trump political adviser Roger Stone is drawing upon his self-professed expertise as a group sex participant to weigh in on the debate about allegations by Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) of drug use and orgies by members of Congress.

"Unlike some other far-right members of Congress — including Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Lauren Boebert of Colorado, both of whom booed President Biden during his State of the Union speech — Mr. Cawthorn is also saddled with a yearslong series of hyperbolic claims about his personal life, raising questions about his honesty," The Washington Post reported Wednesday. "One of those claims finally set off his fellow House Republicans this week: a bizarre assertion he made on a conservative YouTube channel that people he 'looked up to' in Washington — presumably Republican lawmakers — invited him to orgies and used cocaine."
