Donald Trump made it clear that he has no intention of participating in another debate after his poor performance against Kamala Harris — and now one of his former aides is mocking him for it.

Ex-campaign adviser and short-lived White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci told CNN last week that Trump wouldn't be able to resist and would do another debate.

On Monday, "The Mooch" confessed he may have been wrong. ...

Stock in Donald Trump's media company continued to crater Monday as company insiders near their first opportunity to unload their stake.

On Friday, Truth Social insiders will have their first opportunity to sell. Monday marks the start of a two-day filing deadline for announcing intentions to cash out, Market Watch said.

As the markets opened, the DJT Media stock plunged again to a new low of $12.65 as of publication, a 52-week low, CNBC observed. That's a 6% fall from last week. ...

It has been a little over a week since former President Donald Trump faced off against Vice President Kamala Harris in their first, and possibly only debate. During a Georgia rally, Harris-supporter were still laughing at Trump's widely-panned performance.

Harris brought up the mother and sisters of Amber Thurman, who died after Georgia's strict restrictions on abortion took effect, which was ushered in after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. The official Georgia committee ruled that Thurman's death was preventable.

Harris asked her audience to repeat Thurman's name out loud. ...

Donald Trump went on a mini-posting spree on Truth Social Friday afternoon, including a false claim that he worked to help limit flavored vaping to stop kids from using it.

"I saved Flavored Vaping in 2019," Trump said, "and it greatly helped people get off smoking. I raised the age to 21, keeping it away from the 'kids.'"

But as a Politico report from 2020 explains, Trump's description of his administration's actions on flavored e-cigarettes is not accurate....

Daniel Driscoll, the Republican chief prosecutor for Clark County, which includes Springfield, Ohio, is calling out Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) for lying about crime statistics to create a story that the city is being overrun with violence.

Driscoll spoke to CNN's fact-checker Daniel Dale after Vance falsely claimed that "murders are up by 81 percent because of what Kamala Harris has allowed happening to this small community."

According to Dale, Vance's campaign claimed he was comparing the numbers from 2021, which had five murders, to 2023, which had nine. That actually calculates to an 80 percent increase, but the numbers are hardly reflective of the reality. ...

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) suggested over the weekend that a Trump administration official may have quietly contacted a federal appeals judge to stall a contempt inquiry, and the legal analyst interviewing him declared that if so, “people are going to jail.”

In a clip flagged by political video aggregator Acyn Torabi from the Legal AF podcast, Whitehouse laid out a hypothetical involving D.C. Circuit Judge Neomi Rao, a Trump appointee.

“If some MAGA official communicated to Judge Rao or her chambers and that resulted in the administrative stay that held the door open and kept the facts from the Senate Judiciary Committee for his confirmation and stalled investigation into misconduct by the DOJ,” Whitehouse began, “ask any judge how big a deal that is.”...

Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) bragged about a road salt win at a Maine Senate debate, and her challenger's comeback had observers cheering.

On Tuesday, Collins faced Democratic challenger Troy Jackson in a debate weeks before the midterms. Asked what she would do about President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canada, Collins pointed to a specific victory.

"I was successful at getting road salt removed from the tariff list," Collins said. Jackson responded by pouncing on the answer....

Former MLB superstar Roger Clemens fact-checked President Donald Trump during his Texas rally Wednesday night.

Trump traveled to San Antonio, Texas, to stump for Republicans like Tano Tijerina in his race against Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX), whom Trump attacked for what he considered to be a "disloyal act" by not becoming a Republican after Trump pardoned him. At the rally, Trump invited Clemens on stage to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor, because Clemens had not yet been elected to the Hall of Fame.

In typical Trump fashion, the president also rattled off a fact about Clemens that the former big league pitcher was quick to correct. ...
