Sen. J.D. Vance's miniature golf "fight or flight" response to the first assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump's life — revealed Thursday on The Joe Rogan Podcast — was met with the seriousness that a miniature golf "fight or flight" response demands.

"Can't begin to tell you how many times I've gone into fight or flight mode at the mini-golf place," replied Huffington Post reporter Sebastian Murdoch. "Most relatable vance has ever been."

A national security analyst flagged what she called a "bit of shade" buried in the Justice Department's response to Donald Trump's proposed motion to dismiss for injunctive relief based on the appointments and appropriations clause.

Trump's lawyers motioned to Judge Tanya Chutkan in the 2020 election case, saying the case should be dismissed because the special counsel wasn't legally appointed. He's previously made the argument and federal Judge Aileen Cannon agreed.

A private intelligence expert is concerned about a growing risk of election violence, according to Politico — and fears that what happened on Jan. 6, 2021, could just be a warm-up compared to what might be coming.

Rita Katz, who runs SITE Intelligence Group and is an expert on extremist activity online, told Betsy Woodruff Swan that the data from her site predicted the attack on the Capitol.

American linguist John McWhorter doesn't think Donald Trump is losing his mind as some have claimed. Instead, McWhorter thinks the former president is simply bored with himself.

Writing in the New York Times, McWhorter confessed, "I’m not even sure that turning a rally over to 40 minutes of swaying to music is a sign of disinhibition..."

Speaker Mike Johnson is now insisting that when he told supporters “no Obamacare,” he wasn’t suggesting that Republicans would push to repeal the Affordable Care Act. His remarks sparked a massive backlash online.

On Monday, in the hotly-contested battleground state of Pennsylvania, Johnson had said “no Obamacare,” referring to the Affordable Care Act, which covers tens of millions of Americans, has dramatically slashed the number of uninsured Americans, and offers widespread protections to over 133 million people in America.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on Thursday threw former President Donald Trump's words back in his face during a campaign stop in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

While speaking with voters in the crucial Pennsylvania swing county, Walz made a reference to Trump's statement during a campaign rally that "I want to protect the women of our country... I’m going to do it whether the women like it or not.”

Sen. J.D. Vance's closing campaign argument that he and former President Donald Trump had the support of the "normal gay guy" received a swift fact check from gay men who said no thanks, calling his comments "gross" and "grotesque bigotry."

Vance's comment on the "Joe Rogan Experience" podcast quickly went viral after Vice President Kamala Harris shared it in a clip along with an emoji of a puzzled face.

A Republican senator, facing an unusually competitive race, whipped up a campaign ad to express her pride over her state of Nebraska. Only one problem — the footage she used was from Pennsylvania.

"Nebraska is a great place to raise families, and I've worked hard to keep it that way," said Sen. Deb Fischer's (R-NE) voice in the ad, over aerial footage of a town square with an American flag flying in the center.

Marc Short, who served as Vice President Mike Pence's chief of staff, warned Thursday that an increase in Republican voters during early voting may not be something Donald Trump should be celebrating.

MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell spoke with Short and Democratic strategist Alencia Johnson, who served on President Joe Biden's 2020 team. The host asked the two whether they thought the polls showing the candidates being neck and neck in the battleground states were accurate.

Democrat Mondaire Jones is trying to reclaim the New York congressional seat he represented until the 2020 election, but a third-party "stealth" candidate could spoil his effort to unseat incumbent Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY), a new report claimed Thursday.

Jones lost his old seat when New York adopted new congressional districts ahead of the 2022 election, and he returned to the Hudson Valley this year to challenge Lawler for his old seat.

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) sat down Thursday with popular podcaster Joe Rogan, and one particular exchange is turning heads on social media.

While Rogan and Vance were discussing how the Supreme Court's 2022 overturning of the Roe v. Wade decision could impact next week's presidential election, the comedian and Ultimate Fighting Championship commentator observed that the "concept and the zeitgeist is that abortion had always been, you know, Roe v. Wade was the law of the land, and then all of a sudden that was taken away and you have these religious men trying to dictate what women can and can't do with their bodies."

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) said Thursday he and former President Donald Trump expect a difficult-to-define voting bloc will help them win the presidential election on Nov. 5.

Vance told podcaster Joe Rogan on Thursday that he believes that a certain kind of man is going to vote Republican and herald Trump's return to the White House in 2025.

Kenneth Chesebro, an infamous legal ally of former President Donald Trump, has had his license to practice in New York suspended, Law & Crime reported on Thursday.

Chesebro was the architect of a secret memo that outlined the illegal "fake elector" scheme to overturn the 2020 presidential election. He was charged in the Georgia election racketeering case and took a plea deal, alongside some of the other lawyers who helped Trump.
