Push Notification

Rebellious Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) reportedly laid out her demands to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) during a contentious meeting about her efforts to get him ousted from his position.

Punchbowl News reports that Greene made a number of asks during a meeting with Johnson that included a guarantee that he would not pass more military aid for Ukraine, a pledge to defund special counsel Jack Smith's prosecutions of President Donald Trump, and that "Johnson only advance legislative priorities that have the support of the majority of the majority — an adherence to the so-called Hastert Rule."

Stormy Daniels will testify Tuesday in Donald Trump's hush money trial involving their sexual relationship.

Trump posted and then quickly deleted that he had been notified who the next witness would be, in possible violation of his gag order in the case.

Legal analyst Norm Eisen thinks that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office is greatly outpacing Donald Trump's defense team in the former president's hush-money trial.

Writing on Twitter, Eisen argued that the prosecution "seems well on its way to winning," and then he linked to a piece he wrote for CNN.com that elaborates on this analysis and argues that Bragg's lawyers are "racking up points."

Donald Trump tested the limits of his gag order after New York justice Juan Merchan put him on notice that jail could be next.

The former president is prohibited by court order from publicly commenting on witnesses and jurors in his hush money trial, and the judge is not requiring prosecutors to provide advance notice of witnesses because Trump's lawyers could not guarantee he would not post about them on social media – which he did Tuesday morning.

Donald Trump has flouted the gag order in his hush money trial, and presiding judge Juan Merchan has warned that he's now risking jail time, but MSNBC's Lisa Rubin isn't buying the ex-president's bluster about getting locked up.

The former president has compared himself to Nelson Mandela, who spent 27 years in South African prisons before leading his nation out of apartheid, but Rubin told "Morning Joe" that she doesn't actually believe he'll wind up behind bars – even if he seems to desperately fear that possibility.

A small group of hardline MAGA Republicans drove former House speaker Kevin McCarthy out of office, but their most vulnerable members really miss the money he would have raised for their re-election campaigns.

McCarthy left Congress after losing his leadership position, and his successor Mike Johnson simply doesn't have the knack for raking in campaign cash, especially for incumbents locked in tough fights to keep their seats, reported The Daily Beast.

A GOP insider told CNN on Monday that Republicans are fed up with having to talk about former President Donald Trump's hush-money trial.

While discussing the ongoing trial, GOP strategist Doug Heye acknowledged that Republicans behind the scenes are tired of having to answer questions about it, as they don't see it has helpful to their campaign prospects.

Former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker, who was the first to testify in Donald Trump's New York hush money trial, has been lauded as a major witness — potentially even more so than former Trump lawyer and "star witness" Michael Cohen, who is still expected to testify.

Pecker shared through his testimony thatTrump likely suppressed media stories that could have ruined his chances of securing the 2016 presidential election.

Judge Aileen Cannon delivered Donald Trump an "indefinite trial delay" in his classified documents case, according to former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance.

On Monday, Vance broke down Cannon's decision to "temporarily" stay the requirement for Trump to produce his critical Classified Information Procedures Act filing.

The son of a key witness in Donald Trump's criminal hush money trial Monday once compared teaching the former president to tweet to recreating dinosaurs in "Jurassic Park."

“The moment I found out Trump could tweet himself was comparable to the moment in ‘Jurassic Park’ when Dr. Grant realized that velociraptors could open doors,” Justin McConney once told Politico. “I was like, ‘Oh no.’”

The Daily Show delivered a blunt message to South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem as she deals with backlash over boasts about gunning down her family dog: "Even Cruella de Vil was like, 'At least I was making a coat.'"

Noem, among running mate hopefuls considered by former President Donald Trump, was subjected to repeated mockery Monday night from host Jordan Klepper.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) faced public mockery Monday when he announced another investigation into a prosecutor who has levied criminal charges against former President Donald Trump.

Jordan and the House Oversight Committee shared on X that the Ohio Republican plans to investigate special counsel Jack Smith's handling of the Florida federal court classified document case after he admitted to inconsistencies linked to evidence scans.
