Royce White used to be an outspoken Black Lives Matter supporter. But these days, the former basketball star, now 33, is a far-right MAGA Republican who has allied himself with Infowars' Alex Jones and "War Room" host Steve Bannon and hopes to unseat centrist Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar in Minnesota's 2024 U.S. Senate race. And he has been endorsed by the Minnesota Republican Party.

The Daily Beast has done a lot of reporting on White, highlighting his history of antisemitic comments and other controversies. Now, he is angrily lashing out at the publication.

During the 2024 GOP presidential primary, Sen. Tim Scott (R-South Carolina) was, at times, critical of frontrunner Donald Trump. But it was mild criticism compared to the scathing anti-Trump attacks coming from fellow primary candidate Chris Christie, former two-term governor of New Jersey.

Now, Scott is reportedly on Trump's short list for a possible running mate, along with Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Florida), Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum.

Former federal and state prosecutor Glenn Kirschner said Thursday he believes the challenge to Fani Willis' prosecution of former President Donald Trump could very well fail after the Fulton County District Attorney filed a motion to dismiss.

Kirschner argued on his "Justice Matters" YouTube channel that a motion demanding Willis be removed from the Georgia election racketeering case is "not supported by the actual evidence they provided."

After former President Donald Trump was reported as telling a roomful of Republican lawmakers that Milwaukee, Wisconsin is a "horrible city," Republicans went into overdrive alternatively defending his comments and denying that he said them altogether.

One of the most forceful reactions came from Trump's controversial spokesman, Steven Cheung, who posted on X in response to Punchbowl News reporter Jake Sherman confirming the former president "absolutely" made the remarks.

Several House Republicans are speaking out about House Speaker Mike Johnson's decision to appoint two far-right MAGA extremists to the powerful and influential House Intelligence Committee.

According to Politico, there is a growing resentment among members of the House Republican Caucus over the appointments of Reps. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas) and Scott Perry (R-Pennsylvania) to the Intelligence Committee last week. Members are "angry" not just over the baggage associated with both Jackson and Perry, but over the fact that more senior and more qualified members of the House were leapfrogged. One unnamed House Republican speaking anonymously told Politico that Johnson was effectively "rewarding bad behavior" with his Intelligence Committee picks.

Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson had a succinct response to former President Donald Trump who was caught criticizing the most populous city in the key swing state of Wisconsin as "horrible."

"Donald Trump wants to talk about things that he thinks are horrible," Johnson said. "All of us lived through his presidency so, right back at you, buddy."

Former President Donald Trump returned to Capitol Hill to speak with Republican lawmakers for the first time since the Jan. 6 attacks three years ago — and Democratic lawmakers are enraged at the disrespect, according to Axios.

"Trump huddled with House Republicans on Thursday morning at the Capitol Hill Club, just blocks away from the Capitol," reported Andrew Solender and Stephen Neukam. "In wide-ranging remarks, Trump praised his loyalists and slammed Republican detractors, especially those who voted to impeach him over Jan. 6. The former president is set to meet with Senate Republicans on Capitol Hill later on Thursday."

Former President Donald Trump reportedly "rambled" like a "drunk uncle" while he was meeting with Republican lawmakers on Thursday.

Sources in the room for Trump's congressional meeting spoke to NOTUS after the event.

A member of the Wall Street Journal's editorial board this week declared former President Donald Trump to be the victim of a "legal jihad" -- and was promptly shredded Thursday by a New York Magazine writer who says one simple point disproves the conservative newspaper's thesis.

"Trump is a huge crook," writes commentator Jonathan Chait.

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) cast shame on Republican members of Congress after they "hung out with a felon" by meeting with Donald Trump.

During a Thursday House Judiciary Committee hearing, Swalwell alluded to Trump's visit with Republican lawmakers earlier in the day. The hearing sought to examine Trump's hush money conviction in New York.
