A Florida man charged with threatening local election officials faces another charge this week for threats made against Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold.

U.S. officials in Florida charged Richard Glenn Kantwill four times with making interstate threats against election officials, with the latest charge stemming from threats he made against Griswold.

A shadowy Republican-linked firm is trying to investigate people involved in a lawsuit against oil companies for their complicity in a major climate disaster, Politico reported Wednesday.

The firm, Argus Insight, "has made at least 10 public records requests for documents related to a lawsuit filed last year by county leaders in Oregon that accuses Exxon Mobil, the American Petroleum Institute, McKinsey & Co. and hundreds of other defendants of being responsible for a dayslong heat wave in 2021," reported Corbin Hiar.

The Justice Department has reportedly sent billionaire Elon Musk a warning letter after he began a lottery for voters in swing states, reports CNN's Marshall Cohen.

Musk, who is campaigning with Donald Trump, asked voters to sign a petition — and be eligible for a $1 million-a-day giveaway. But one of the requirements is that participants must prove they have registered to vote in one of the seven swing states.

The easiest path for Vice President Kamala Harris to win 270 Electoral College votes will go through the battleground states of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin (also known as the "Blue Wall"). And a new analysis breaks down exactly where she could focus her resources to add those states to her win column.

On Wednesday, the New Republic's Greg Sargent interviewed veteran journalist Ronald Brownstein of the Atlantic, who recently broke down exactly how Harris could carry the Blue Wall states. According to Brownstein, the vice president could secure the critical swing states by going all-in on not just major urban centers, but on nine suburban counties that each house significant numbers of voters.

The 2024 presidential election is, at least according to polls, coming down to a knife's edge — one of the closest races imaginable. But it didn't have to be that way, wrote Perry Bacon Jr. for The Washington Post.

He said either party had opportunities to lock down a win early — and neither one took them.

There have been several books published about the work done by former special counsel Robert Mueller and his team in the years-long investigation into 2016 election interference by foreign sources — and Donald Trump's part in it.

For the first time, however, Mueller lends his voice to one, writing a preface that issues a cautionary tale.

The 15 largest corporate beneficiaries of former President Donald Trump's 2017 tax law have dumped a combined $839 billion into executive-enriching stock buybacks and dividends since the measure's passage, according to research released Wednesday by the progressive watchdog group Accountable.US.

The new analysis, which cites figures from the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, was published amid an ongoing congressional debate over whether to extend elements of the 2017 law that are set to expire at the end of next year. It also comes as Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, is campaigning on a fresh round of tax cuts for the wealthy and large corporations.

A reporter for a Kansas City television station was struck by a bullet fragment Tuesday while covering a shooting range campaign event for Democrat Lucas Kunce.

Kunce, a Marine veteran hoping to unseat U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley, provided first aid to KSHB reporter Ryan Gamboa after a bullet fragment ricocheted off a target and struck him in the arm.

Republicans are apparently sweating as their state legislative bench is swamped with a flood of cash for Democratic candidates, Politico reported on Wednesday.

The outlet obtained a memo to GOP donors from Republican State Leadership Committee president Dee Duncan, whose organization handles national coordination of funding for Republican legislative races, highlighted the concern over the cash difference.

Then-President Donald Trump wanted to hide wounded members of America's armed forces from public view, former U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper claimed Wednesday.

Esper appeared on CNN to discuss Trump's former Chief of Staff John Kelly's shocking statement that Trump expressed admiration for Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler's powerful generals — and he wanted his staff to emulate them.

Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance suggested former President Donald Trump would "fire the IRS agents" to pay for his plan to eliminate taxes on tips.

At a rally in Las Vegas on Wednesday, Vance was asked how Trump would cover the shortfall in government funds if he implemented the so-called "no tax on tips" proposal.

Donald Trump and his camp of aides has become “fixated” on a barely-known Kamala Harris aide who criticized him on Fox News, the Washington Post reported Wednesday.

The low-level adviser has been attacked more than three dozen times in just three weeks, the report states.
