The Philadelphia Inquirer Editorial Board this weekend published an op-ed that includes a list of debate questions the editors say is the only possible way for the moderators "to hold [Donald] Trump accountable."

"Given his appalling record, Trump has no business being on a presidential debate stage, let alone one in the shadows of Independence Hall," but since the debate against 2024 Democratic nominee Kamala Harris is two days away, and "roughly two months to go in what is expected to be a close election, voters need the media and debate moderators to treat Trump as the serious threat he is to the future of the country and the free world," the board writes.

Donald Trump's recent admission that his speeches and answers to questions are larded with digressions and off-ramps into odd and often irrelevant anecdotes is a sign that he knows that he is slipping mentally, suggests one of his biographers who has known him for years.

In a column for the Guardian, Chris McGreal wrote that Trump's excuse at a speech that he "weaves" stories together to make a greater point should raise suspicions that he is— as McGreal put it — "losing it."

A New York Times analyst is betting Trump will win the presidency in November — despite, just days earlier, making a case for how Kamala Harris could snatch victory.

Earlier this week, opinion writer Ross Douthat penned a column entitled “How Harris Wins.”

A leaked memo attributed to top Trump campaign co-managers Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles warning all staff to not talk to the press unless specifically authorized, under threat of termination, is a warning sign of a troubled campaign according to political experts.

Calling it a "NEW leak," Puck News senior political correspondent Tara Palmeri broke the story and posted the email (embedded below) to social media Wednesday evening.

Former President Donald Trump made a number of controversial pardons and commutations on his way out the door in 2021, but one that has flown under the radar has been the sentence commutation of Jaime A. Davidson, a New York man who spent decades behind bars after being convicted of murdering a federal law enforcement officer in the early 1990s.

Since his pardon, however, it seems that Davidson has not kept his nose clean.

Donald Trump’s recent speeches have lapsed into an incoherence that’s striking even for him — and it’s causing a whole new level of panic over his possible return to the White House, an MSNBC columnist wrote Tuesday.

Using a recent address in Potterville, Michigan to illustrate his point, writer Zeeshan Aleem commented that Trump had always been rambling — but he seems to have reached a new level of confusion.

A 10-page joint filing that Department of Justice special counsel Jack Smith submitted late Friday night with former President Donald Trump's legal team in his Washington, D.C. election interference case was mostly unremarkable, aside from one specific line.

Politico reported that Smith maintains he is ready to move forward with the case "promptly at any time the Court deems appropriate," and emphasized to Judge Tanya Chutkan that it was up to her how to proceed. But as former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner observed during a Saturday segment on MSNBC, the initially dry joint status report becomes much more interesting given Smith's suggestion that previously unknown evidence against Trump may soon come to light.
