Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said she was personally harmed by the U.S. Supreme Court after President Joe Biden's administration won a case related to social media censorship.

In a Wednesday 6-3 ruling, the high court reversed a lower court's decision that limited the Biden administration's ability to communicate with social media companies. Two states brought the case, claiming they were harmed by the government's efforts to stop the spread of misinformation about COVID-19 and elections.

A House Republican brushed off Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and a top GOP leader this week in a legislative move that raised several eyebrows on Capitol Hill, according to a new report.

Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) ignored a "clear warning" from Johnson and Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) to fix her data privacy bill -- but she announced she'll advance it anyway, Politico's Olivia Beavers reported Wednesday.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) lost her temper while claiming that former President Donald Trump's upcoming debate with President Joe Biden was "rigged."

During a Wednesday interview on convicted criminal Steve Bannon's podcast, Greene said she had faith in Trump's ability to win the debate before throwing a tirade about the rules and CNN's debate moderators.

Some major bombshells hit in Tuesday night’s U.S. House primaries.

Rep. Lauren Boebert, a far-right MAGA Republican, prevailed in Colorado's ultra-conservative 4th Congressional District — where, in the general election, she will have a definite advantage in the competition for the seat once held by former Rep. Ken Buck.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) served up a reminder that he hasn't reported a bank account on financial disclosure forms.

The Louisiana Republican hailed Donald Trump's policy suggestion to exempt tipped wages from taxation, saying it would likely be part of the former president's 100-day agenda if re-elected, and he added that anyone who had waited tables or served up drinks from behind a bar could appreciate the additional income servers and bartenders would enjoy.

The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that politicians may accept a gratuity after making an official act, and that laws against bribery do not apply.

In the case, Snyder v. U.S., former Portage, Indiana mayor James Snyder gave Great Lakes Peterbilt two contracts with the city, purchasing five garbage trucks for $1.1 million in 2013. The following year, Peterbilt paid Synder $13,000. Though the DOJ and FBI said the payment was likely a gratuity for the contract, Snyder said the money was merely payment for his consulting services.

The U.S. Supreme Court released a ruling Wednesday that declared giving gifts to politicians does not constitute bribery under federal law — and the irony was not lost on Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.

“State and local governments often regulate the gifts that state and local officials may accept,” Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote in the decision. The law, “does not supplement those state and local rules by subjecting 19 million state and local officials to up to 10 years in federal prison for accepting even commonplace gratuities. Rather, [it] leaves it to state and local governments to regulate gratuities to state and local officials.”

A Republican Senator was subjected to ridicule Wednesday after urging Americans to vote for Donald Trump — the first former president to be convicted of criminal charges linked to hush money paid to a porn star — so the nation can return to "normalcy."

Republican Sen. Bill Hagerty made this bold claim in a Wall Street Journal editorial that stunned MSNBC columnist Steve Benen.

U.S. Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito joined the other conservative judges in declaring that "gratuities" are not the same as bribes in a ruling released on Wednesday.

In the case, Snyder v. United States, the Court decided that state and local bribery laws barring officials from "corruptly" accepting gifts or cash do not govern "gratuities" given as a token of appreciation.

Conservative podcast host and convicted criminal Steve Bannon hosted an interview with a woman who had a child with Hunter Biden.

In an interview on the eve of the first general election presidential debate of 2024, Bannon invited Lundon Roberts to discuss her experiences with the president's son.

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) suggested that God favored her candidacy in the Republican primary election she won.

The Colorado Republican told supporters in her new congressional district that she would work to make the U.S. a “righteous nation recognized throughout the world again” by bringing back “conservative values” and “Christian morals," reported The Daily Beast.

Former President Donald Trump pushed out a hyperbolic and conspiracy-laden fundraising email to his supporters with just a day to go before the CNN presidential debate between himself and President Joe Biden, headlined, "THE GLOVES ARE COMING OFF!

"I'm bringing out the BIG GUNS before I step into the ring with Crooked Joe Biden tomorrow - THAT MEANS [recipient's name]!" stated the email. "Sleepy Joe is relying on a cocktail of drugs to keep him upright and awake. He's relying on highly-biased moderators like FAKE Tapper to feed him softball questions. And he's relying on his army of so-called fact checkers to spread LIE AFTER LIE on his behalf."

Donald Trump's attorney expressed himself appalled Tuesday that federal agents would dare enter the room where the former president's youngest son Barron keeps his Peloton — spectators were less sympathetic.

MSNBC anchor Katie Phang got the mockery ball rolling when she took to X to share what she described as "an are-you-kidding-me moment" in Trump's Florida federal court hearing on his classified documents case.
