Former President Donald Trump is falling back on his oldest and most dangerous tactic as his campaign falters near the finish line, Salon's Chauncey DeVega wrote Tuesday — inciting racial hatred and violence.

This, the columnist wrote, is how best to understand his promotion of the lie that Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio are eating people's pets, which has triggered harassment and even bomb threats in the community.

The architect of the Project 2025 manifesto for remaking the federal government to serve Donald Trump allegedly told colleagues that he killed a neighbor's dog with a shovel because it was a nuisance.

Kevin Roberts, who is now president of the right-wing Heritage Foundation, told New Mexico State University colleagues and dinner guests that he killed the pit bull around 2004 because it was barking and bothering his family, according to sources who attended a dinner at his home and described the incident to The Guardian.

Former President Donald Trump accused Democrats of cheating in the presidential election because they encouraged Americans serving overseas to vote.

Trump claimed without evidence Monday that outreach to active members of the Uniformed Services abroad represented a cover-up plot to sneak foreign voters into the 2024 presidential election.

Donald Trump has had fierce competition in the polls ever since Kamala Harris ascended to the top of the Democratic ticket, but a presidential historian said he might have one last chance to regain momentum.

New polling shows the vice president with a five-point lead over the ex-president with a little over six weeks until Election Day, and historian Douglas Brinkley told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that Trump is running out of chances to turn things around.

U.S. Senator JD Vance lashed out at the Harris-Walz campaign on Friday after refusing to comment on the bombshell allegations against a Trump-endorsed Republican Christian nationalist gubernatorial nominee who allegedly has expressed an affinity for transgender porn, has had an adulterous affair with his wife's sister which he described in intimate detail on a porn website, has called himself a "Black Nazi," said he wanted to own slaves, and allegedly had an account on a dating site for people who want to cheat on their spouses.

Vance, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, was asked by a reporter on Thursday afternoon if he had any reaction to the news about North Carolina Lt. Governor Mark Robinson, a far-right extremist and the subject of damning reports at CNN and Politico that day.

Former President Donald Trump tossed a wild pledge at a niche bloc of voters to whom he promised easy access to candy-flavored vapors.

Trump took to Truth Social Friday afternoon in an apparent effort to blow off steam as polls from Nate Silver, the New York Times and ABC News showed Vice President Kamala Harris taking the lead in their presidential race.

CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins sparred with Republican Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas during a heated discussion Tuesday night over a GOP-led block of a bill that would protect in vitro fertilization.

Republicans in the Senate on Tuesday blocked Democrats from advancing legislation that would provide federal protections and insurance coverage for IVF treatments. Republicans characterized the legislation as a politically motivated stunt.

The bomb threats disrupting life in the Ohio city of Springfield, where former President Donald Trump and his running mate have repeatedly and falsely claimed immigrants eat pets, has spurred a demand for an apology from an unlikely source: Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH).

Vance (R-OH) took to X Tuesday afternoon to complain the mainstream media had unfairly linked 33 bomb threats — which spurred two elementary school evacuations and also mentioned local university students by name — to his made-up story about Haitian immigrants.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) unexpectedly called on House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to work with Democrats to avert a government shutdown.

In a statement on Tuesday, Johnson said Republicans should support his plan to include the SAVE Act, legislation making it more difficult to vote, in a bill to fund the government. Senate Democrats and President Joe Biden have vowed to reject the measure requiring a birth certificate or passport to cast a ballot.

For the last week, former President Donald Trump has been leveling false attacks against Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio —and now, it appears a western Pennsylvania town could face the same crisis.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reported Monday that the city manager of the small town of Charleroi, about 30 miles south of Pittsburgh, has been complaining about the same types of xenophobic allegations.
