Wyoming Secretary of State Chuck Gray has been hit with a misconduct complaint alleging that he violated state elections law to hand over voter data to the Trump administration's Justice Department.

According to the liberal election outlet Democracy Docket, "Wyoming is one of 17 states that have complied with DOJ’s demands for full, unredacted state voter rolls, which include addresses, driver’s license numbers, and social security numbers. Enter George Powers, who spent 40 years practicing law in the state. In a complaint to Attorney General Keith Kautz (R), he is alleging that Gray’s decision to hand that data over was illegal."

Voters in several deep-red military towns said they are done with President Donald Trump after his latest "disturbing" threat, according to a new report.

Reporters with The New York Times spoke with more than three dozen people in military towns ranging from Colorado Springs, Colorado, to Fayetteville, North Carolina, about Trump's handling of the war in Iran. Many of the voters expressed concern about the war and its broader economic impacts.

A Harvard-trained legal scholar sounded the alarm Tuesday that President Donald Trump has fulfilled a chilling Supreme Court prophecy from 1952 in which a justice warned that emergency powers, left unchecked, would "kindle emergencies."

Writing in Lawfare, Ben Diamond, a fellow at the Center for Applied Environmental Law and Policy, argued that Trump's second term has shattered historical norms around the use of emergency authority.

President Donald Trump announced support for a clean extension of FISA 702, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act section, citing military concerns and national security importance.

Trump urged Republicans to unify behind the legislation in a Truth Social post.

A watchdog group accused the Georgia State Elections Board on Tuesday of secretly working to help President Donald Trump seize voting rolls from Fulton County.

American Oversight, a government accountability nonprofit, accused the election board of "improperly" filing an amicus brief in support of Trump's efforts to seize Fulton County's voter rolls. Earlier this year, Trump sent his FBI agents to retrieve hundreds of boxes of voting data from Fulton County under the guise of investigating federal election offenses. The data the Trump administration took included copies of ballots, ballot images, and tabular data, according to reports.

A prominent conservative Catholic columnist at The New York Times is sounding the alarm for President Donald Trump's religious base, warning that his escalating blasphemy is a harbinger of things to come that true believers should not ignore.

Ross Douthat, a conservative Catholic opinion writer who is not known for being a Trump critic, wrote Tuesday that the president's weekend social media rampage — which included a profanity-filled Easter post, an attack on Pope Leo XIV, and an AI-generated image depicting himself as Jesus Christ — represents something far more serious than typical Trumpian excess.

As the Justice Department asks a federal court to vacate seditious conspiracy convictions against the paramilitary ringleaders of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, yet another pardoned defendant has been implicated in inappropriate conduct with children.

According to NBC News, "David Daniel has reached a plea agreement in connection with a pending charge of sexual exploitation of a minor and possessing sexually explicit images of children in federal court in the Western District of North Carolina. According to court documents Daniel’s lawyer signed Tuesday, in 2015 and 2016 Daniel enticed a minor under age 12 'to engage in sexually explicit conduct' for the purpose of producing 'a visual depiction' of the conduct."

Political analysts and observers were outraged on Tuesday after President Donald Trump's Department of Justice moved to vacate the convictions of multiple people who participated in the Jan. 6 insurrection.

The Associated Press reported that the DOJ had moved to vacate the convictions of multiple Proud Boys and Oath Keepers who participated in the insurrection. The move adds to the growing list of more than 1,500 people who participated in the insurrection that the Trump administration has either let out of prison or stopped prosecuting.

Vice President JD Vance was brutally mocked after he spoke to a small crowd at the University of Georgia during a Turning Point USA rally on Tuesday.

Vance was scheduled to appear alongside Erika Kirk, the widow of late conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who pulled out just hours before the doors opened due to unspecified "threats." The event was held at a time when the Trump administration and the Republican Party are growing anxious about the 2026 midterms as Democrats continue to notch election wins across the country.

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) advised older men to avoid inappropriate conduct with younger women following the resignations of Reps. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) and Tony Gonzales (R-TX) over sexual misconduct allegations.

Johnson stated there are "lines you do not cross," and called such behavior "grotesque" and "totally inappropriate," emphasizing accountability.

Vice President JD Vance was confronted by hecklers at an event in Georgia with the far-right youth group Turning Point USA, who protested his involvement in the Israeli occupation and destruction of Gaza following the Oct. 7 massacre.

Vance, who has worked closely with TPUSA officials as they struggle to continue past the assassination of their founder, Charlie Kirk, last year, did his best to fire back retorts, to the general applause of the right-wing audience. But the hecklers were unyielding.

Vice President JD Vance melted down on Tuesday after Erika Kirk, the widow of late conservative activist Charlie Kirk, skipped moderating the Turning Point USA rally in Athens, Georgia, citing "threats" she received ahead of the event.

Kirk and Vance were scheduled to appear together at the University of Georgia.

President Donald Trump and the Federal Reserve appear to be on a new collision course, according to a new analysis.

Andrew Ackerman, who reports on the Federal Reserve for the Washington Post, wrote in a new article on Tuesday that Trump and the central bank could soon be at odds over who runs the bank after May 15, which is the day Chairman Jerome Powell's tenure ends. Powell has said he will stay at the central bank until a permanent replacement is found. Trump has nominated Kevin Warsh to replace Powell, but his nomination has stalled in the Senate.
