In a fundraising email titled “dismantling woke Marxist ideologies," right-wing GOP congressman Paul Gosar responded to a recent report showing that the number of white recruits in the military has dropped significantly, Vice News reported.

“The number of white recruits has plummeted,” Gosar wrote. “[It’s] a casualty of this cultural skirmish that has left our Army beleaguered and besieged by ‘woke’ ideologies.”

Sen. Ted Cruz’s show of support for former President Donald Trump hasn't gone according to plan.

Cruz (R-TX) took to X Friday to take a victory lap — boasting his name was among about 180 Republicans who condemned Colorado’s insurrectionist ban in a Supreme Court filing — only to find himself slammed by followers.

Reacting to video clips of Donald Trump's deposition in his $370 million civil fraud trial that were released Friday, MSNBC legal analyst Lisa Rubin suggested E. Jean Carroll's lead attorney might have been handed a gift before the former president is expected to return to Judge Lewis Kaplan's courtroom on Monday.

According to a report from NBC News, the deposition was conducted as part of New York Attorney General Letitia James' financial fraud investigation. The release of the video clips came almost a year later.

Fani Willis’ name appears on airline tickets bought by Nathan Wade, the special counsel in Donald Trump’s election racketeering case with whom she’s been accused of having an improper relationship, according to a new report.

Wade and Willis’ names appear on tickets to San Francisco and Miami in 2022 and 2023, bank records filed Friday by Jocelyn Wade in her divorce case show, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

A top House Republican is warning members of his caucus that their hardline attitudes could lead to electoral disaster in the fall.

During a recent impromptu gaggle with reporters, outgoing Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC) offered frank criticism of both House Speaker Mike Johnson's (R-LA) leadership so far, and of far-right members of the House Republican Conference.

Allies of Donald Trump are enraged after Attorney General Merrick Garland expressed support for a "speedy" trial in regards to the ex-president's election interference case, Newsweek reported.

While the trial is scheduled to begin on March 4, there may be a delay since Trump's lawyers are arguing that he is immune from prosecution because his actions were carried out while he was president. Some think he may be trying to postpone the trial until after the election so he can try to dismiss the charges against him.

Former President Donald Trump's attorneys are arguing that not only did their client not engage in an insurrection against the United States government, but that he was acting as a peacemaker while his supporters violently stormed the United States Capitol.

Law and Crime reports that Trump's attorneys argued in a filing before the U.S. Supreme Court this week that "President Trump never participated in or directed any of the illegal conduct that occurred at the Capitol on January 6, 2021" and, what's more, "repeatedly called for peace, patriotism, and law and order."

With Donald Trump all but certain to be the Republican Party's 2024 presidential candidate despite his myriad legal problems, eyes are now turning to who will be his running mate.

In a column for Politico, National Review Editor-in-Chief Rich Lowry warned the former president away from some possibilities that the conservative said would be detrimental to his re-election bid — while suggesting one candidate who had a close working relationship with Trump before he lost the 2020 election.

Chasten Buttigieg is criticizing a remark made by a far-right member of the House Freedom Caucus, U.S. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), for its "unnecessary homophobia."

Luna has been endorsed by then-President Donald Trump, U.S. Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Marjorie Taylor Greene, (R-GA), and far-right Christian nationalist Charlie Kirk who heads the activist group Turning Point USA, which Luna belonged to.

A poll released prior to the third anniversary of the January 6 insurrection found that one in four Americans believe that the FBI "organized and encouraged" the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol. However, a former federal prosecutor thinks the rest of America should be "grateful" that only 25% subscribe to that conspiracy theory.

In a recent column for Lawfare, former U.S. Attorney Chuck Rosenberg put that poll in perspective. He pointed out that, while it's true that one in four Americans believe the "nonsense" claim that the federal law enforcement was behind the U.S. Capitol siege that killed five police officers and injured hundreds more, the poll is less "depressing" when put in the context of other polls regarding information a large majority of Americans view as settled facts.

The New Republic's Greg Sargent believes that former President Donald Trump is preparing to embark on a massive crime spree should he win next year's election — and he's getting his voters ready to embrace it.

In his latest column, Sargent argued that Trump's declaration that presidents deserve "total immunity" from prosecution even if they "cross the line" into illegal behavior is actually his way of "priming his base to back wanton law-breaking if he wins back the White House."

Former President Donald Trump is perfecting a “deep state” defense in the defamation case brought by E. Jean Carroll that may prove successful in his ultimate battle to reclaim the White House, a legal expert said Friday.

"For his core supporters, backing down is for losers,” NYU law professor Stephen Gillers told Newsweek. "He may yet prevail.”

In the wake of Donald Trump's Iowa caucuses victory that has brought him one step closer to the GOP presidential nomination, it's clear that the majority of his support came from evangelicals — Salon's Chauncey Devega wrote Friday.

And they're going to want something in return.
