Former President Donald Trump is the only president in history to have been impeached twice. The number of presidents impeached was already a small number, with only two prior to Mr. Trump. In fact, the former president doubled the number of presidential impeachments after he attempted to shake down Ukraine for dirt on President Joe Biden and incited a riot at the United States Capitol after losing the 2020 election.

Writing Thursday, Rachel Maddow producer Steve Benen wondered why Republicans would be so focused on "expunging" Trump's second impeachment if he wasn't even convicted by the Republicans in the Senate. But the reason comes from the man himself.

Michael Bender and Maggie Haberman revealed in a New York Times report that behind the scenes, former President Donald Trump was shocked that his endorsement didn't mean a blowout win for Mehmet Oz.

Trump infamously told a crowd of his supporters that Oz was going to win because he was on television.

Rep. Lucy McBath (D-GA) on Wednesday gave an emotional speech about her struggles to get pregnant and the miscarriages she suffered during a four-year effort.

Speaking in the congressional hearing on women's rights, McBath explained that she and her husband tried to start a family on their own and were successful. They were overjoyed until one morning she woke up covered in blood.

It has been only a few days since a mass shooting in Buffalo, New York killed 10 people and injured others. The alleged gunman published a manifesto online that outlined the targets he was seeking and the rationale behind it. At one point, the manifesto says he was also considering shooting up an elementary school and thought of going from the grocery store to a school to continue his assault.

On Wednesday, Elmwood Village Charter School issued a "hold-in-place" order due to social media threats. It's unclear if there have been a number of false threats, but the one cited by News 4 was enough to merit the cautious procedure.

The conversation over the racist "Great Replacement" conspiracy theory has grown since the man accused of the Buffalo mass shooting mentioned it over 20 times in his 180-page manifesto.

Speaking briefly about it on Wednesday, co-hosts of "The View" debated whether Democrats should be willing to point to Republicans and more specifically Fox hosts Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham for promoting the theory.

After losing the Republican Primary in North Carolina, Rep. Madison Cawthorn gave a speech in a small room of supporters before the race was called. He told the room that the one thing that became clear to him is that former President Donald Trump was a very loyal man to his allies.

"The thing I love about President Trump is that when you get your back pushed up against the wall I found that most people in politics if it's not politically expedient for them they'll turn their back on you in a heartbeat. But no matter what you are facing, when Donald Trump has your back, he has your back to the end," said Cawthorn.

A growing community of neo-Nazis in Massachusetts is preparing for action, WGBH warned on Wednesday.

Specifically, WGBH said it has viewed videos showing young white nationalists' plans to make their presence felt on local college campuses.

Pennsylvania Senate candidate Kathy Barnette was among those who marched on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 alleging that Donald Trump's 2020 election results were rigged and that he won the election. There is still no credible evidence the 2020 election was rigged.

In the final week of the Republican Party primary, Barnette saw a surge in support as the election approached.

Churches and religious institutions like Liberty University are often able to skirt their support of a political party by welcoming a politician to speak from the pulpit or speak about what they say are "Christian values."

But when Tennessee Pastor Greg Locke attacked Democrats from his church stage, one religious freedom group says he crossed a line.

Former Department of Homeland Security chief of staff, Miles Taylor, revealed the details about why he's leaving the Republican Party after serving as a whistleblower who was trying to fix it.

Taylor is better known as the "Anonymous" author of a New York Times editorial saying there were patriotic Republicans inside the Trump administration trying to safeguard against insanity. But after leaving the White House, Taylor came together with a group of other Republicans to threaten they'd leave the GOP if it officially became the Trump party. A year later, Taylor made it clear: he's done.

The new indictments for top Donald Trump Inaugural Committee president and fundraiser, Tom Barrack, were filed Monday and published publicly on Tuesday showing nine new charges.

One part of the court documents cite the influence Barrack had on former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, who allegedly took Barrack's information and demanded a change to the Republican Party platform at the Republican National Convention meeting in 2016 involving the Saudi Royal Family.

Washington Post reporter Aaron Blake fact-checked Gov. Ron DeSantis' (R-FL) press chief after she posted a fake news story on Twitter in an effort to attack fellow Post reporter Taylor Lorenz.

The tweet, which is still available on Twitter as of May 17 at 2:36 p.m. EST, shows a screen capture of a phony Washington Post article titled "This dog is the new face of online homophobia."

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) walked to the Supreme Court on Tuesday to speak to anti-choice protesters holding vigil outside the building as the justices finalize their decision on the future of women's health in the U.S.

"If you accidentally get pregnant, let me tell you something, that abortion that you are considering having is not going to solve your problems," she said. "It is not going to make that boyfriend of yours or that guy love you. That abortion won't do that. It’s not going to help you pursue a career that you think you want to pursue. It's not going to help you finish college. Let me tell you what will help you out more in your life when you have a baby, and you love someone more than you've loved someone in your entire life."
