Push Notification

A coalition of young voters called Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and his team "evil" after the Republican National Committee decided to hold a debate watch party at a gun store near the site of last week's mass shooting at a Georgia high school.

Ahead of Trump's debate Tuesday night with Vice President Kamala Harris, several Democratic groups issued a joint statement denouncing the watch party. The groups included Voters of Tomorrow, College Democrats of America, Leaders We Deserve, College Democrats of Georgia, Georgia High School Democrats, Young Democrats of Georgia, Path to Progress and Blue Future.

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan handed down a 19-month prison sentence to a Jan. 6 rioter who assaulted police officers at the U.S. Capitol, according to CBS News' Scott MacFarlane.

Kyle McMahan, a Reservist Air Force Staff Sergeant from Wautoga, Texas, was arrested last year on a series of felony and misdemeanor charges in the insurrection.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) accused former Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) of "murdering people" during his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

At a Thursday hearing before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, Greene reminded Cuomo that he had "attacked President Trump and his response" to the virus outbreak.

Former President Donald Trump has baffled and disgruntled Republicans with a policy proposal they say they don't understand, know nothing about, or simply don't like, according to a new report.

Trump's call late last month to pass a government mandate that insurance companies cover in-vitro fertilization caught more than a dozen Republicans by surprise — even though Trump would need their support to pass it, NBC News reported Tuesday.

Democratic leaders are growing "frustrated" that the U.S. Army hasn't produced an incident report about an altercation at Arlington National Cemetary purportedly involving members of Donald Trump's campaign.

A Democratic aide said officials have been asking for the report for nearly two weeks, Greg Sargent of The New Republic reported Tuesday. Lawmakers also want a play-by-play of what was said to the Trump campaign staffers before the incident.

House Republicans privately know that Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) doesn't have the votes to pass his combined voting regulation and shutdown-averting spending package bill, reported NOTUS — and are just bracing for how bad the politics are going to be for them when it fails.

According to Riley Rogerson and Ben T.N. Mause, Rep. Jerry Carl (R-AL) told Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA) on the week's House GOP conference call, "It's fixin' to be a sh-t show."

Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) got a quick fact check during a CNN interview when he tried to avoid answering questions about former President Donald Trump's election conspiracy theories.

Donalds, a right-wing Republican and Donald Trump ally, attacked CNN anchor Boris Sanchez right off the bat when he asked about Trump's repeated lies about the 2020 presidential election, which are being used to justify a new Republican-backed bill requiring proof of citizenship as a precondition of being able to register to vote.

Former President Donald Trump is notorious for his name-calling tactics, going all the way back to branding his 2016 primary opponents as "Lyin' Ted," "Lil' Marco," and "Low-Energy Jeb." Now he is facing Vice President Kamala Harris, he is reaching back to the 1950s for the playbook of the Red Scare, and branding her a "communist" — but there are distinct indicators it's not working, wrote Chauncey DeVega for Salon.

"Trump, groping for effective avenues of attack and vulnerability against Kamala Harris, is now calling her a 'Commie', a 'Marxist' and 'Comrade Kamala,' falsely claiming that she wants to impose 'Soviet-style price controls' on the American people," DeVega wrote. These tactics, he wrote, harken back to his old associate, former mob lawyer Roy Cohn, "who was instrumental in the 1950s Red Scare" — as if he "has been reanimated as a type of ghost who is advising the corrupt ex-president from beyond the grave."

Donald Trump urged Republicans to shut down the federal government in an all-caps Truth Social rant that accused Democrats of trying to rig the 2024 presidential election.

Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, issued a Truth Social order to his party that they either slam home the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility or spur a government shutdown.

Donald Trump made dozens of false claims in his June debate with President Joe Biden, who complained afterward that "it's hard to debate a liar," but an expert on political rhetoric says there's a way to defeat that tactic.

Whether the former president knows it or not, his strategy of overwhelming his opponent and the moderators with false and outrageous claims was pioneered decades ago by creationist Duane Gish in his debates with scientists on evolution. Philosophy and political science professor Robert Talisse told Mother Jones how the tactic is used — and how it can be neutralized.

Brian Riedl, a senior fellow at the conservative Manhattan Institute and a former chief economist for Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH), labeled recent remarks by Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) as "disqualifying."

Specifically, Riedl was responding to Vance's declaration this week that he would not have certified the results of the 2020 presidential election had he been in Vice President Mike Pence's shoes on January 6th, 2020.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is on the warpath against House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) yet again.

In an interview with CNN's Manu Raju, Greene declared that she was not at all satisfied with Johnson's plan to attach a new law mandating proof of citizenship as a prerequisite to voter registration to a must-pass government spending bill.

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) confronted Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) Tuesday for sharing a fake image of Donald Trump cradling a duck.

At a House Judiciary Committee hearing on immigration, Swalwell noted that Jordan had promoted unverified claims that migrants were stealing and eating pets by posting an AI-generated image on X.
