Former President Donald Trump offered his signature as a souvenir while visiting the gravesite of a revered Jewish rabbi to honor the victims of the Oct. 7 attacks.

On the anniversary of the Hamas terrorist attack in Israel, Trump visited the New York City gravesite of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson. The former rabbi was the leader of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement of Orthodox Judaism until he died in 1994, and is widely revered as one of the centuries most influential Jewish leaders.

Conspiracy theory-spouting Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) last week drew widespread ridicule for saying that an unidentified group of people "can control the weather."

While Greene never specified who "they" were, it seems that some of her fellow conspiracy theorists are filling in the blanks — and targeting Jewish Americans.

Conservative media consumers are moving further to the right as they abandon Fox News for outlets they perceive as more loyal to Donald Trump, according to a new report.

The network's viewers are drifting away since Tucker Carlson was reportedly fired in the wake of a $787 million defamation settlement with Dominion Voting Systems, and Trump has followed his supporters to fringier outlets by giving interviews to right-wing Twitch streamer Adin Ross and various podcasters, such as talk show host Dr. Phil, comedian Theo Von, computer scientist Lex Fridman and YouTuber Logan Paul, reported The Guardian.

Former President Donald Trump's comments on the one-year anniversary of Hamas' attack on Israel stunned political onlookers Monday.

Trump repeatedly put the tragic events of Oct. 7, 2023 — when at least 1,200 Israelis were killed and about 240 others taken hostage — in the context of his political reelection campaign, reports show.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, went on Fox News on Sunday morning to lay out the case for the Democratic ticket and attack Republicans' economic policies.

In a 15-minute interview with Fox News Sunday host Shannon Bream, Walz pushed back on many right-wing talking points and drew a sharp distinction between the two parties economic leadership. He celebrated the work of U.S. Vice President Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, and attacked former President Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee.

Vice President Kamala Harris has been reaching out to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as yet another hurricane is barreling toward his state.

However, NBC News reports that DeSantis has been blowing off her calls.

A Republican senator who condemned politicized attacks on Hurricane Helene relief efforts was bombarded with mockery Monday when he claimed both the Democrats were to blame.

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) was subjected to ridicule after he slapped back at Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign for sharing his own argument — namely that Hurricane Helene victims were being hurt by political posturing.

Princeton University historian Sean Wilentz believes that special counsel Jack Smith made a very savvy legal maneuver in his most recent filing in the Trump election subversion case.

Writing in The Atlantic, Wilentz makes the case that Smith did the best he could given the constraints imposed on him by what he describes as the Supreme Court's "shocking decision on July 1 to grant the presidency at least presumed immunity from criminal prosecution for all official acts."

CNN host Dana Bash claimed former President Donald Trump was "hurting" his own MAGA voters by spreading conspiracy theories about FEMA support in western North Carolina in the aftermath of flooding caused by Hurricane Helene.

"The Biden administration is blasting Donald Trump's barrage of lies in the wake of Hurricane Helene," Bash said during a CNN panel discussion on Monday. "The former president is falsely accusing federal relief agencies of maliciously withholding and misusing aid."

House Speaker Mike Johnson refused to call lawmakers back from recess early to vote on emergency hurricane relief — and instead is spreading Donald Trump's lies about recovery efforts, a columnist wrote Monday.

The Louisiana Republican will visit western North Carolina this week to survey damage from Hurricane Helene, but The New Republic's Ellie Quinlan Houghtaling questioned his commitment to helping to clean up after the natural disaster.

On the first day of its new term, the U.S. Supreme Court in an unsigned opinion upheld a lower court ruling that enforces Texas’ ban on certain emergency abortions. The Biden administration had sought to overturn the ban and enforce its policy requiring hospitals to perform the emergency, potentially life-saving procedures. The Court declined, allowing the Texas law, one of the strictest in the nation, to remain in effect.

The Biden administration had argued "that hospitals have to perform abortions in emergency situations under federal law. The administration pointed to the Supreme Court’s action in a similar case from Idaho earlier this year in which the justices narrowly allowed emergency abortions to resume while a lawsuit continues," the Associated Press reports. "Doctors have said the [Texas] law remains dangerously vague after a medical board refused to specify exactly which conditions qualify for the exception."

Former President Donald Trump's efforts to catch up with Vice President Kamala Harris' fundraising pose a serious danger of major corruption, a slew of political experts told the Guardian Monday.

Trump in recent weeks has amped up fundraising antics by courting bigwigs in tech and fossil fuels with problematic promises of perks and profitable federal policies, Saurav Ghosh of the nonpartisan Campaign Legal Center told the Guardian.

CNN anchor Chris Wallace on Monday slammed Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-AR) for a “really out of touch” attack on Vice President Kamala Harris — and said the former White House press secretary’s criticism of blended families is “not something that the Republican Party should pursue.”

At a Donald Trump rally last month, Huckabee Sanders told the crowd that while her kids keep her humble, “unfortunately, Kamala Harris doesn’t have anything keeping her humble.”

Harris addressed Huckabee Sanders’ remark on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast Sunday, telling host Alex Cooper the Arkansas governor’s attack shows a lack of understanding about “modern families.” The vice president has two step kids with her husband, Doug Emhoff.

“I love those kids to death and family comes in many forms,” Harris said. “And I think that increasingly, you know, all of us understand that this is not the 1950s anymore. Families come in all kinds of shapes and forms and they’re family nonetheless.”

As CNN reported, in statement to Politico this weekend, Huckabee Sanders claimed she "would never criticize a woman for not having children” and instead was trying to point out that Harris “doesn't believe our leaders should be humble."

Asked about the back-and-forth on Monday, Wallace delivered a warning to the GOP about “modern families.”

“In America in 2024, they do come in all shapes and sizes and there are blended families and parents and step parents,” Wallace said.
