Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has fallen silent on abortion as he faces a challenge from Democratic Rep. Colin Allred in 2024, and as his state has come under fire for one of the nation's most extreme abortion bans and women have been forced to flee to other states for care. But back in his first term in office, he was much more outspoken in favor of laws like this.

And furthermore, he had ties to a known extremist figure who called for the killing of "abortionists," according to Mother Jones.

The United States Secret Service on Sunday arrested a man whom they believed was trying to assassinate former President Donald Trump while he played golf at his club in Florida.

However, it seems that concerns about the security of the Trump International Golf Club have been well known for weeks now.

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) has "abandoned" his state in their time of need, said Republican strategist Susan del Percio.

Speaking to MSNBC on Monday, she and former Sen. Doug Jones (D-AL) addressed the third day in a row that Springfield, Ohio, has experienced bomb threats at its schools. A town festival was also canceled due to fears of violence.

Donald Trump's and fellow Republicans' claim that Democrats' rhetoric is to blame for the recent attempt on the former president's life doesn't pass muster with those following news in Springfield, Ohio.

A growing number of Trump critics are speaking out as Trump casts blame on Vice President Kamala Harris — even as bomb threats target the town where he falsely claimed Haitian immigrants are eating pet dogs.

Republican Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost grew testy on Monday when CNN host Brianna Keilar fact-checked him for promoting false claims about Haitian immigrants.

During an interview about bomb threats that have been leveled against schools in Springfield, Ohio in the wake of former President Donald Trump's attacks on the community there, Keilar asked Yost about his own role in helping Trump advance false claims about immigrants kidnapping and eating residents' pets.

Political operative David Brock helped lead the smear campaign against Clarence Thomas' sexual harassment accuser Anita Hill — and he said he's still doing penance for what he calls his “original sin."

Brock was a young conservative when he sneered that Hill was "a bit nutty and a bit slutty" in an infamous report based on dubious sourcing. But three decades later he's publishing “Stench: The Making of the Thomas Court and the Unmaking of America" to denounce the right-wing transformation of the judicial branch, reported the New York Times.

Former President Donald Trump accused Vice President Kamala Harris of "killing" the "heritage" of Black people with her historic candidacy as the second Black nominee for president.

Writing on his Truth Social platform on Monday, Trump lashed out at "[i]llegal Migrants who are POURING INTO OUR COUNTRY, in record numbers, are taking the JOBS away from Black and Hispanic people who have held them for years."

It's now 49 days until the November election and the Republican-led Congress is facing another major deadline. If there's no continuing resolution or budget bill passed by Sept. 30, the government will shut down a month before voters go to the polls.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is apparently willing to see a shutdown, saying that Republicans shouldn't cave until they get what they want.

The Miami Heat have weighed in to slam former President Donald Trump and Sen. J.D. Vance's (R-OH) false claims about Haitian immigrants.

In a statement posted on its Twitter account, the Heat said that its staff "like Miami itself, is a diverse and brilliant mix of vibrant cultures, including many members of our Haitian community."

Scientific American magazine has endorsed Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris. It's only the second time the magazine has backed a presidential candidate in its 179-year history.

In an editorial column published on Monday, the magazine warned that Republican nominee Donald Trump "endangers public health and safety and rejects evidence, preferring instead nonsensical conspiracy fantasies."

Donald Trump seems to have adopted a strategy whose name was coined by former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, according to a new analysis.

The former president and his running mate J.D. Vance have staked their campaign on false claims that Haitian immigrants are stealing and eating pets in Springfield, Ohio, and Salon columnist Heather Digby Parton argued they've centered on the issue to distract from the shortcomings in the rest of their message.

The MAGA movement's inability to help small town America is on full display in Springfield, beset by bomb threats over fake stories involving pets being eaten, according to a new political analysis.

The Ohio town's predicament represents the future support Americans should expect if former President Donald Trump and running mate Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) gain the White House in 2025, writer David A. Graham argued in the Atlantic Monday.
