Push Notification

President Joe Biden has an opportunity to remind voters that Donald Trump is a convicted felon who's been found liable in court for sexual abuse, and conservative attorney George Conway says he should drive that point in over and over in their first presidential debate.

The president and the presumptive Republican nominee will face off Thursday night in Atlanta, and Conway told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that many viewers have not likely seen Trump in awhile and probably have no idea that he's been "unraveling" since leaving the White House under the cloud of the Jan. 6 insurrection.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor blasted conservative justices for creating "chaos" with a decision by upending a decades-long practice allowing agencies to impose civil penalties without a jury trial.

Ever since the Alabama Supreme Court tried to outlaw in-vitro fertilization care, Republicans around the country have scrambled to push back and at least verbally pledge to protect access to the fertility procedure, aware that even thousands of conservative, religious families have benefited from the procedure.

But Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-MT) begs to differ.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on the most recent abortion case mandating that doctors provide life-saving abortions if a pregnant woman is dying and in the event her health is in jeopardy.

The ruling comes after the decision was accidentally leaked to the public, Bloomberg Law reported Wednesday.

The U.S. Supreme Court rejected a national settlement with OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma that had protected Sackler family members from future lawsuits.

In a 5-4 decision, the majority ruled that federal bankruptcy code does not allow a liability shield for third parties in bankruptcy agreements.

The Republican Party may not survive former President Donald Trump losing his debate against President Joe Biden Thursday night and they know it, a new political analysis finds.

Salon columnist Brian Karem made this case just hours before history is made on a CNN soundstage in Atlanta where a standing U.S. president will debate a convicted felon who has not yet been officially nominated by his own party.

The attorney who took on former President Donald Trump to secure millions in defamation and sex abuse damages for client E. Jean Carroll is leaving the law firm she founded, according to a new report.

Civil rights lawyer Roberta Kaplan is parting ways from Kaplan Hecker & Fink over clashes with partners about how she treated her colleagues, according to the New York Times.

Former President Donald Trump and his allies are spinning up any reason they can to delegitimize the presidential debate as they fear they've set themselves up to lose, writes MSNBC columnist Michael A. Cohen (not to be confused with Trump's former attorney.)

"Over the past several days, Republican after Republican has made evidence-free accusations in what is perhaps the weirdest recent example of a presidential candidate and his supporters seeking to raise expectations for the candidate’s political rival," wrote Cohen — the chief theory being that Biden is going to be pumped full of drugs to maintain consciousness. This ranges from suggestions he'll pop Adderall to Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO) saying he'll chug "either Mountain Dew or whatever it is he took before the State of the Union address this year." There is no evidence Biden took drugs on that occasion either.

Ohio Republicans tapped a post office-hating political consultant to fill a statehouse seat that opened up in a chain reaction series of events.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) this week has been pushing for a vote to use the House of Representatives' so-called "inherent contempt" powers to have Attorney General Merrick Garland arrested for not turning over a video recording of President Joe Biden's interview with special counsel Robert Hur.

However, even Fox Business's Maria Bartiromo appeared cool to the idea of instructing the House sergeant at arms to take the nation's top law enforcement official into custody.

Former President Donald Trump's associates are fearful that they have been set up to fail at this week's presidential debate in Atlanta, writes Gabriel Sherman for Vanity Fair.

This comes as his allies have frantically pushed the idea, with no evidence, that President Joe Biden will come onto the debate stage jacked on drugs in order to cover his lack of energy — an indication that many are fearful that the narrative they have built over the last year of Biden being cognitively infirm will backfire as he outperforms the low expectations they set for him.
