Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) appears to be trying to save her political career as she sides with voter suppression efforts in states across the country.

Speaking to Axios reporter Jonathan Swan, Cheney claimed that the link to the "Big Lie" has nothing to do with the changes to voting rules.

Former Watergate investigator and prosecutor Jill Wine-Banks explained Sunday that former President Donald Trump might have ten civil lawsuits, but they won't be what sinks him financially.

MSNBC host Alicia Menendez listed off E. Jean Carroll's defamation lawsuit, Summer Zervos defamation suit, Mary Trump fraud lawsuit, Panama Hotel fraud and tax litigation, Doe v. Trump Corporation class action lawsuit, DC civil lawsuit over misuse of 2017 inauguration funds, Bennie Thompson (D-MS) incitement suit for Jan. 6 Capitol attacks, Eric Swalwell incitement suit for Jan. 6 attacks, Capitol Police lawsuit for Jan. 6 attacks, and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund voting rights case for post-election actions.

The attack on the U.S. Capitol left many officials on both sides of the political aisle shaken when they faced armed attackers and were forced to barricade the House Chamber doors against insurrectionists. At the same time, lawmakers hid quietly with gas masks in the balcony fearful they would be shot or attacked.

While the Capitol Police have worked to protect officials since then, this will be the first large break for officials to spend the Memorial Day weekend honoring lost soldiers. The Washington Post reported that many of those lawmakers are now scared about going home without the protection of the Capitol Police.

CNN host Jim Acosta didn't hold back when talking about Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene on Sunday.

Speaking to John Avlon and Margaret Hoover, Acosta noted that Greene has lashed out at school shooting survivors, Jewish space lasers, and mask mandates being similar to sending Jews off to die in concentration camps. "I think her brain is broken."

For reasons passing in understanding, TMZ is still following former President Donald Trump and reporting on his golf game. On Sunday, the disgraced president couldn't make it through his own golf course and kept hitting balls into the water.

"TMZ obtained video of the moment Trump teed off for the fairway shot ... and it's pretty fascinating to see," the site wrote. "Watch for yourself -- Trump takes a few half-practice swings, with some kind of weird wobbling of the club, and then finally steps up and gives it a good whack."

One of Rep. Liz Cheney's (R-WY) primary challengers has confessed to impregnating a 14-year-old girl when he was younger.

Blaming the girl, saying "girls get pregnant," Republican Anthony Bouchard said he wanted to get out ahead of what he knew would become a controversy in his campaign," reported the Casper Star-Tribune.

Justice Antonin Scalia was reportedly notorious for losing his cool while serving on the Supreme Court, but apparently, it's an epidemic that has taken the High Court by storm.

A CNN report Friday revealed that it seems to stem from Trump nominees Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch.

CNN host Don Lemon appeared on "New Day" to promote his new book talking about race issues, but the conversation quickly turned to his frustration with Democrats for not being more strident in their opposition to the GOP.

It was a comment Lemon made on a podcast, but one John Berman questioned Friday morning.

The right-wing QAnon Telegram account run by someone known as "GhostEzra" went on an anti-Semitic rant about George Soros and Jewish reporters.

Reporter Mike Rothschild tweeted the screen captures picked up in a Newsweek report, showing the "rabid spree" of xenophobic memes.

It took less than 300 seconds for CNN to tear down Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) and other Republicans who have downplayed the severity of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

While some have called the insurrection "peaceful" or claimed the crowd was nothing more than "tourists" or "patriots," court documents from the Justice Department and the FBI reveal the startling cache of weapons on hand that day.

Conservative Daily Beast columnist Matt Lewis began his Friday piece by saying that even though Democrats "deserve to lose" in 2022, the reality is that life under Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) isn't helping the GOP to any kind of victory.

He attacked President Joe Biden for what he called the "woke anti-Israeli left," ignoring Biden's unfaltering support for Israel at the detriment and frustration of two-state Democrats. But he ultimately settled on McCarthy being in a worse position than Biden 17 months ahead of the next election.

A Florida man flipped out at a Palm Beach County School Board meeting after the district issued a mandatory mask policy. He called the mask order "the mascot for white fragility," Newsweek reported. He did not clarify how masks were a race issue.

"The school board recently adopted an equity statement. Why? Your only job is education, not indoctrination," he also said, as the audience cheered.

After spreading racist slurs like "Chinese Virus," "Kung flu" and "Wuhan virus," the Chinese American Civil Rights Coalition has launched a lawsuit against former President Donald Trump.

TMZ reported the lawsuit citing court documents that point to Trump's use of the slurs as defamation and infliction of emotional distress. They are seeking $1 for every Asian American and Pacific Islander living in the United States. While it might seem ceremonial, a settlement would total $22.9 million.
