The 2022 midterms turned out to be much better for Democrats than expected, with Democratic candidates enjoying victories in key swing states such as Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona and Wisconsin.

Republican megadonor Miriam Adelson, the wife of the late right-winger Sheldon Adelson, has given former President Donald Trump a whopping sum of money even as he has apparently blown off her request that he tone down his rhetoric.

Americans found themselves playing a strange game of Where's Waldo Tuesday after shocking new photos revealed former President Donald Trump stored classified documents in haphazard containers strewn across the floor of his Florida social club.

Anti-bullying activist Monica Lewinsky called for federal Judge Aileen Cannon, who is presiding over former President Donald Trump's classified documents case, to be impeached. But what's the process for that?

"i [sic] awakened angry about the documents case in florida [sic]. it [sic] is INSANE that it hasn’t moved forward to trial, and i hope judge cannon [sic] is impeached. IF the documents had been declassified (which they weren’t) then all trump [sic] had to do was xerox them and return originals that were being asked for and explain they were declassified (again, for those in back, which they weren’t). IF it had been an honest (ahem) mistake to take them… just return them — LIKE EVERY OTHER PRESIDENT WHO WAS FOUND TO HAVE CLASSIFIED MATERIALS IN THEIR PRIVATE POSSESSION. (which still would have warranted an investigation but maybe not resulted in a trial.) the danger and damage done by this judge is mind-numbing," Lewinsky posted to X Tuesday morning.

The presumptive Republican nominee's campaign publicized his arranged call with the slain woman's mother last week, and Trump has posted about three similar cases on his social media account to blame president Joe Biden for the murders.
