President Donald Trump had decided to focus his new rallies around attacking transgender children. In 2016, the former president took aim at immigrants, specifically people of color. By 2022, Politico explained that Trump's new campaign is going after minors.

In a 90-minute rant in Casper, Wyoming on Saturday, Trump attacked Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), who is one of the Republicans on the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. He told the crowd that it was the most important race of 2022. Thus far, Trump has lost several primary election races in Idaho, Georgia, North Carolina, Nebraska and Texas.

The Georgia election results showed that voters weren't going to support the so-called "big lie" that former President Donald Trump won the 2020 election and that it was somehow stolen from him. What is frequently being ignored in the post-mortem of the Republican Primary is that Trumpism, in general, was also rejected by voters.

Writing for CNN.com, White House correspondent John Harwood explained that Gov. Brian Kemp's success over former Sen. David Perdue shows a party that tends to manufacture a culture war for the sake of an election. The "controversies," he wrote, have become "a substitute for materially improving the lives of their constituents."

President Donald Trump's social media account hasn't turned out as well as expected, despite a number of hedge funders and investors contributing $1 billion to the project. Variety reported Sunday that a new streaming service will be part of the Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG).

According to the report, the streaming service is all part of a merger "with the blank check firm" (or SPAC) Digital World Acquisition. The new site will offer programing that others are canceling due to outdated language and racist depictions of various identities and groups. The new streaming service will be a kind of TMTG+ that will craft programming that targets the far-right audience of Donald Trump's supporters and highlight shows with a Christian nationalist bent.

Earlier this week, witch-hunting pastor, Greg Locke, revealed that he would relinquish his non-profit tax status because he wanted to be able to promote and trash the politicians he wants. Pastor Jack Hibbs, in California, is facing off against the rise in Christian nationalism.

ABC News reported the story of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills in Chino Hills, California, where the pastor appears to be influencing his town's elections, but when it comes to promoting Christian nationalism, it's going too far.

CNN's Jim Acosta faced off against a National Rifle Association board member on CNN Sunday who was in Houston, Texas, after the second-largest school shooting in the United States so far.

Acosta showed video interviews of children in Uvalde saying that they were scared to go back to school because they fear they'll get shot. CNN ran an earlier segment of comments from children across the country about how scared they are to go to school, many assuming it will happen to them.

Another day in America brought another mass shooting. This time it was in the town of Taft, Oklahoma, where at least one is dead and seven others are injured.

The Memorial Day celebration in the town was shattered by at least 40 shots fired. Of the seven injured, at least two were children, Oklahoma News On 6 reported.

A federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday that those who engaged in an insurrection could be barred from running for office in the future. The decision comes from a challenge to Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC), who lost his election just a week ago.

A judge had previously ruled in Cawthorn's favor, citing an 1872 amnesty law passed by Congress. But the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals overturned that ruling.

Former Donald Trump aide Alyssa Farrah called out fellow Republican David Perdue on Tuesday for using "racist dog whistles" to attack Democrat Stacey Abrams.

Abrams gave a speech over the weekend in which she essentially argued Georgia has focused too much on making itself a friendly climate for businesses while not doing enough to improve the overall quality of life, and she cited the state's maternal mortality, the high prison population and a host of other issues.

New Texas voting laws are causing a lot of problems for Republican voters, according to a Newsy report ahead of the primary run-off elections Tuesday.

As the report notes, several new rules passed by Texas Republicans in the wake of the 2020 elections put more stringent requirements on mail-in ballots.

Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) is facing a two-pronged congressional ethics investigation on his way out of the political door, including a probe into allegations are that he behaved inappropriately with a congressional staffer.

Additionally, the one-term congressman is facing scrutiny for his promotion of a cryptocurrency in which Cawthorn and those involved have been accused of running a pump-and-dump scheme.
