The Republican Party megadonor class has been humiliated after throwing away millions of dollars trying to prevent extreme or controversial figures from winning GOP nominations across the country, former Republican strategist Tim Miller wrote in a scorching obituary for The Bulwark on Thursday.

Former President Donald Trump is amping up his efforts to fight the $83.3 million in damages a New York federal judge ordered him to pay E. Jean Carroll, court records show.

Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner has been subpoenaed to testify in a trial regarding a lawsuit filed against Trump's campaign by a former staffer who says she was punished after a supervisor got her pregnant.

Fox News' Trey Gowdy on Thursday took a not-so-veiled shot at Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) over her past embarrassing public behavior.

Without endorsing President Joe Biden, the editorial board of the St. Louis Post Dispatch warned Republican voters — particularly so-called "Reagan Republicans" — that Donald Trump should be kept as far away from the corridors of power as possible.

In an editorial published on Thursday, the board of the influential midwestern newspaper declared Reagan Republicanism "dead" — and added the former president is the culprit who killed it, with party members fingered as accomplices.

The editors wrote, "Even among the many Republicans out there who recognize Trump’s obvious unfitness for office, there will be a strong temptation to fall back on partisan muscle-memory and vote for him anyway," before adding, "Republicans and conservatives of good conscience who can’t bring themselves to vote for President Joe Biden — fine — should at least consider any alternative that doesn’t give a vote to this unstable, malicious man and his dangerous movement."

Pointing to Trump's part in the Jan. 6 insurrection, the editors cited his suggestion that he not only be given total immunity to run the country as he sees fit if re-elected, but also his hint that he would have no problem seeing his political enemies arrested or killed.

Researchers have uncovered a new network of fake news websites that have popped up ahead of the 2024 presidential election that they have traced to Russia.
