Push Notification

The Democratic National Committee, after pressure by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), will delay by a week the first step to nominate President Joe Biden for re-election.

Reports the New York Times, the DNC is delaying "plans to nominate President Biden for re-election in a virtual roll call as the party’s voters and many of its top officials continue to express discontent about heading into the general election with him atop their ticket."

Former President Donald Trump is aggressively pushing a new policy on the campaign trail: to eliminate taxes on tips. He works it into many of his speeches, and supporters have even started writing "Trump 2024 — no taxes on tips" on merchant copies of restaurant receipts as a kind of popup campaign advertising.

But unions for tipped workers and labor activist groups aren't amused by it, reports Rolling Stone — and dismiss it as a stunt that won't address real issues for their members.

Months after Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) threatened to fight Teamsters Union chief Sean O'Brien during a November Senate hearing, the two men have become more than good buddies.

Mullin told CNN Wednesday that a friendship blossomed after former President Donald Trump called months ago and asked the two men to "meet."

A Republican lawmaker steamrolled a CNN anchor on live television Wednesday only to be subjected to a brutal fact-check from infuriated viewers online.

Rep. Dan Crenshaw opened his interview by forcing anchor Boris Sanchez to apologize for a quote he claimed had been misrepresented, then continued to assert former President Donald Trump had been a strong supporter of Ukraine.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) lashed out at her own political party for "misogyny" in a recent interview.

While speaking to conspiracy theorist Russell Brand on Wednesday, Greene suggested that "the patriarchy" was misunderstood.

On Tuesday night, one Republican National Convention (RNC) speaker gave a speech about how her family was unfairly targeted by prosecutors in Georgia, as a nod to former President Donald Trump's argument that the cases against him are politically motivated. But one columnist wrote that the narrative falls apart when looking just beneath the surface.

In a Wednesday analysis for the Washington Post, columnist Philip Bump delved into a speech by Savannah Chrisley on night two of the RNC, which was themed: "Making America safe again." Chrisley's parents — made famous from the reality show "Chrisley knows best" — are currently serving federal prison sentences for conspiracy, bank fraud, wire fraud and tax evasion. From the RNC lectern, Savannah Chrisley noted that her parents were prosecuted in Fulton County, Georgia. Naming the Peach State's most populous county, where the ex-president is also being prosecuted on multiple felony charges, drew boos from the crowd.
