A Republican's attempt to brush off a controversial comment Donald Trump made over the weekend spurred a torrent of laughter from a political analyst.

Lance Trover, Gov. Doug Burgum's (R-ND) former campaign spokesperson, failed to impress political commentator Bakari Sellers with his justification of Trump's message to Christians that "they won't have to vote anymore" should the former president return to the White House.

Former President Donald Trump was riding high after the Republican National Convention earlier this month, but anti-MAGA conservative A.B. Stoddard believes he may have spiked the football too early.

Writing for The Bulwark, Stoddard mocks Trump for having his "worst week ever," as newly released polls show that Vice President Kamala Harris is performing significantly better than President Joe Biden did before he decided to end his 2024 bid for the White House last week.

J.D. Vance has been making the rounds trying to clean up his remarks about "childless cat ladies," but CNN's John Berman said his efforts were backfiring.

The Ohio Republican dismissed Kamala Harris and other Democrats who haven't had children in an interview from 2021 with then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson that re-surfaced last week. Donald Trump's running mate has since made appearances on multiple conservative media outlets trying to justify and recontextualize his remarks.

The broad consensus among legal experts is that Obergefell v. Hodges, the case that legalized same-sex marriage nationally, probably will survive a new case seeking to blow it up — but that the right-wing justices could make a move to weaken LGBTQ rights, experts told Salon's Marina Villaneuve.

Kim Davis, the Rowan County, Kentucky clerk who became a household name a decade ago by refusing to certify same-sex marriages in defiance of federal courts, is still refusing to pay hundreds of thousands in damages she owes to people whose rights she denied — and her lawyers are now appealing that judgment, trying to get the Supreme Court to hear an argument to reverse Obergefell and citing that the same court found the abortion rights guaranteed in Roe v. Wade were not “deeply rooted in the nation’s history and tradition.”

There's a distinct lack of women in former President Donald Trump's inner circle — and it's already led him to make significantly worse campaign decisions in 2024 than he did in 2016, wrote Nell Scovell in an analysis for The Daily Beast.

And nothing drives this home more, she argued, than his decision to pick brash far-right populist Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) as his running mate — a choice that, according to some reports, he is already regretting.

Progressive journalist Judd Legum has taken a look at some of the past statements about American families made by Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) and has found that they go beyond his widely criticized comments about Vice President Kamala Harris being a "childless cat lady."

Writing on Twitter, Legum brought receipts to show that Vance has some "weird" views about American families, including his claim that the American news media is comprised of childless journalists who are "miserable and unhappy" because they never started a family.

A triggered ex-spokesperson for Donald Trump lashed out at Kamala Harris for a quirky campaign tactic making national headlines.

Trump's former communications strategist Jason Osborne railed against the campaign on CNN Monday morning for its reliance on a word making national headlines: weird.

The predicted ketchup hit the wall late Sunday night as Donald Trump threw a social media tantrum over Vice President Kamala Harris, just hours after Fox News polls showed her trouncing him in swing states.

Trump chose to focus — rather on polls putting Harris ahead in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan — on a Fox News pundit who called her a "blithering idiot," a "rabid Marxist scholar" and accused her of infanticide.

Kamala Harris has promised to name her running mate by August 7, but a Washington Post analyst shared a unique idea Monday that he said could be a game-changer — why stop at one?

“Who can deliver a swing state? Who can outwit J.D. Vance in a debate? Who is capable enough to take the wheel someday yet restrained enough to ride shotgun in the meantime?” asked Daniel Pink.

Historians have noticed a disturbing trend in Donald Trump's political rhetoric as he tries to battle his way back into the White House he lost in an election he tried to overturn four years ago.

Fascism expert Richard Frankel and Holocaust scholar John Roth both told Salon Monday morning that Trump and his MAGA Republican Party increasingly resemble Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party as conspiracy theories about Jewish people and immigrants spread.

Donald Trump was vilified for potentially putting Sen. J.D. Vance a heartbeat away from the presidency.

The 78-year-old Republican nominee tapped the first-term senator as his running mate earlier this month, and the Rev. Al Sharpton told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that voters were repelled by the 39-year-old Vance's extremist views and off-putting persona.
