A far-right homeschooling activist running on the Republican ticket for North Carolina's superintendent of public instruction has apologized to Muslim voters for her past comments disparaging their religion, according to a report.

Speaking at a candidate forum over the weekend hosted by the Muslim American Public Affairs Council in Raleigh, Michele Morrow said she was only speaking out of "frustration" that no one acknowledged 2020 protests were turning violent, particularly in “primarily Islamic areas,” reported NC Newsline. She did not specify what areas she was referring to.

Ripping Ron DeSantis as “selfish” and “utterly irresponsible,” Vice President Kamala Harris blamed political "gamesmanship" after reports emerged that the Florida governor has blown off her phone calls as Hurricane Milton churns in the Gulf of Mexico and takes aim at the Sunshine state.

“People are in desperate need of support right now and playing political games at this moment in these crisis situations… it is utterly irresponsible, and it is selfish and it is about political gamesmanship instead of doing the job that you took an oath to do, which is to put the people first.”

An MSNBC host quizzed a chief White House correspondent for The New York Times on Monday over his questions that his publication has sanitized former President Donald Trump's rambling or incoherent answers.

The newspaper has faced questions over the past month for what critics have called "sane-washing" of Trump's nonsensical answers to questions on key issues. In a report posted Monday, the Times' Peter Baker joined with other colleagues in exploring the overall "disinhibition" of Trump.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, long at the forefront of efforts to prevent any expansion of voter access in America's second-largest state, is under fire after the state sent law enforcement to search and intimidate Latino activists, including a candidate for state House, as part of an investigation into "ballot harvesting."

History is repeating itself here, wrote Karen Tumulty for The Washington Post. A similar unfounded panic over illegal voting happened in southern Texas in 1880.

The Lincoln Project's Philip Germain sounded the alarm Monday, noting that the Republican-led legislature in West Virginia has proposed a bill that would withhold the state's electoral votes if it believes there was election fraud. It would only apply to the presidential race despite other candidates on the ballot.

"Whereas, in the 2024 election cycle there have been, to date, two assassination attempts on the Republican nominee for President of the United States while threats of assassination of the Republican nominees for president and vice president abound. The federal government, under the current Democrat-led regime, has utterly failed, and continues to fail, in a suspicious manner, in its absolute duty to adequately protect the Republican nominee for president," is just one of the justifications listed in the bill.

Former President Donald Trump faced backlash Monday after he was seen smiling while holding a photo of a man who Hamas kidnapped on Oct. 7.

During a remembrance event in Queens, Trump visited the New York City gravesite of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson.

Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan could have been the most powerful lawmaker in town if he would have shed his Republican label and run for the Senate as an independent, a Washington Post columnist wrote Monday, adding that Hogan “apparently doesn’t have that kind of courage.”

That was a mistake that will cost Hogan columnist Matt Bai's vote.

Veteran meteorologist and hurricane expert John Morales of South Florida's NBC 6 became emotional when he examined the latest data on Hurricane Milton as it barreled toward Florida.

Monday afternoon, meteorologists upgraded the storm to a Category 5, the strongest and most powerful hurricane.

On the one-year anniversary of the Hamas terror attack on Israel, Donald Trump took a deep dive into antisemitic and Nazi rhetoric.

The ex-president—win or lose—near the end of his final White House run told right-wing political commentator and host Hugh Hewitt that immigrants have “bad genes” which make them more likely to commit murder. It is a charge some say is direct out of Nazi eugenics.

Left-wing documentary filmmaker Michael Moore, who correctly predicted former President Donald Trump would win in 2016 and that Republicans would not have a blowout victory in 2022, has a new prognostication on CNN: Vice President Kamala Harris does not need to run away from liberal causes to win in 2024.

That's because, he argued, the same army of women who stormed the polls in 2022 will dictate 2024 — and then some — driven now, as then, by the same rage over the loss of abortion rights, that has only driven more grim headlines in recent months.

Former President Donald Trump has frequently claimed that prosecuting him for his attempt to subvert the 2020 presidential election is illegitimate because all of the false claims that he made about the election and his efforts to strongarm officials into "finding" votes for him were protected by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.

Special counsel Jack Smith did not address this First Amendment claim in recent court filings made last week, and a former Justice Department official thinks he knows why.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre battled with reporters in the daily briefing Monday when questions were raised about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' (R) refusal to take calls from President Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in the wake of the devastating Hurricane Helene — and Donald Trump's false claims about relief funding.

"It's up to him if he wants to respond to us or not," the Jean-Pierre said about DeSantis. "But what we're doing is we're working with state and local officials to make sure we are ready to be there for the communities that are going to be impacted. We are doing the job." She was speaking as another hurricane bearing down on Florida was upgraded to a Category 5 storm.

A new report revealed that a former Arizona Republican secretary of state candidate is boasting about having obtained private banking information that the government tracks as part of criminal investigations.

Investigative reporter Phil Williams at WTVF Channel 5 Nashville reported that 2020 election denier Mark Finchem, who unsuccessfully ran to be Arizona's chief elections administrator two years ago, revealed on a recent podcast appearance that he was coordinating with Millersville Assistant Police Chief Shawn Taylor, a MAGA devotee who's been linked to several public mistakes while conducting his work.
