Rose McGowan has always been pro-women and a feminist, but in a surprise turn Sunday, she endorsed anti-woman Republican Larry Elder for governor in California.

McGowan once alleged that the wife of Gov. Gavin Newsom "tried to bribe" her before coming out about her experiences with Harvey Weinstein. That appears to have angered McGowan so much that she was willing to support a man who has frequently insulted women and even brandished a gun at his then-fiance.

Speaking to CNN's Jim Acosta on Sunday, Dr. Mary Trump, the niece of former President Donald Trump, explained why her uncle was more focused on making money on Sept. 11 than he was about the victims and survivors on the 20th anniversary of such a horrific tragedy.

While the people of the U.S. were mourning and recalling the sadness surrounding the day, Trump eagerly provided commentary with his son for a boxing match on the day. At the same time, other political leaders flocked to remembrance sites. Trump bragged he scored an "obscene" amount of money for the gig, something he likely needs to fight the legal problems he's facing.

Last week, the hashtag "GOPDeathCult" was trending on social media as Republican governors continued to refuse to take precautions to keep their states safe. The recent COVID-19 numbers now show that out of the 23 worst states for the virus in the country, 21 of them voted for Donald Trump in the last election.

The Washington Post revealed that of the 23 states in the country that exceed the national COVID average, all but two of those are from Republican states.

A new CNN report about the icy relationship between Sen. Mitch McConnell and former President Donald Trump revealed that the two Republican Party leaders haven't had much interaction since the 2020 election loss.

She said that she started to head for the exit of the park but that the officer wouldn't leave her alone, following and harassing her. The demand to exit the park didn't appear to extend to white people in the area, she explained.

The White House indicated that President Joe Biden won't block attempts to access former President Donald Trump's documents pertaining to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

Reuters reporter Jan Wolfe tweeted Thursday that a White House official said that they have been working with the House Select Committee on Jan. 6 to ensure information is handed over.

Sean Spicer as well as other of President Donald Trump's appointees were asked to step down from their appointed posts this week by the new administration. Spicer, along with Kellyanne Conway and others, were appointed to the board of the Naval College, U.S. Air Force Academy, and other military academies.

In response, Spicer accused the Biden White House of insulting his patriotism. He said he would join a lawsuit against the administration. Discussing the ordeal, the co-hosts of "The View" told him to get over it and leave.

The women of "The View" slammed Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) on Wednesday over his handling of the COVID-19 crisis in his state.

Judge Amit P. Mehta presided over the Jan. 6 case of Oath Keeper Thomas Caldwell Wednesday in which lawyer David Fischer attempted to make the case that his client's behavior doesn't fall under one of the charges of stopping a government proceeding.

Fischer compared Jan. 6 to the Code Pink protesters who began yelling during Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation hearing. Fischer also incorrectly claimed that there were no documents involved in the certification of the president, as noted legal analyst Marcy Wheeler.

The biggest gift former President Donald Trump gave to Republicans is finally allowing them to be their worst selves, wrote Democratic strategist David Atkins in Washington Monthly. But, he explained, that will ultimately be their downfall.

"By liberating the GOP to embrace its most noxious impulses, he has breathed new life into the staid culture that nominated John McCain and Mitt Romney while destroying basic norms of public decency and weakening the guardrails of democracy," wrote Atkins. "This has come at a devastating cost to the victims of the hatred Trump fueled. Despite short-term appearances, unmasking the GOP base's most vicious instincts might also be disastrous for the party in the long term."

One of the women at the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was Pauline Bauer, a Pennsylvania pizzeria owner, who argued with Capitol Police that she was a "sovereign citizen" and thus she was entitled to enter the building that day.

"Bring Nancy Pelosi out here now. We want to hang that f*cking b*tch. Bring her out. We're coming in if you don't bring her out. What are you trying to do, protect a f*cking Nazi?" Bauer is cited as saying in the Justice Department complaint.
