'I want to fight these mothers': Conservative George Conway vows to hound Trump if elected

Conservative attorney George Conway is reportedly close to officially announcing his intent to run for the U.S. House of Representatives in 2026, and is promising to be a major thorn in President Donald Trump's side if elected.

The New York Times reported Wednesday that Conway, the former spouse of longtime senior Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway, recently met with Democratic activists and hired prominent Democratic pollster Anna Greenberg as he entertains the idea of running for the seat vacated by Rep. Jerrold Nadler. (D-NY) He is also reportedly looking for an apartment within the Manhattan-area district to meet residency requirements, as he currently lives in the Washington D.C. suburb of Bethesda, Maryland (and is a neighbor of former National Security Advisor John Bolton).

Watchdog alarmed as another Trump official caught using Signal to conduct business

American Oversight sent a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Attorney General Pam Bondi on Wednesday, arguing that Ed Martin, who leads the DOJ's Weaponization of Government group, appears to be auto-deleting files using an app such as Signal. The watchdog group argued that Martin may be violating the Federal Records Act if this is the case.

'It would be crazy': Republican senators sour on Trump plan to salvage key policy

President Donald Trump’s hold over congressional Republicans is showing visible signs of cracking. His effort to block the release of the Epstein files collapsed after a near-unanimous House vote and a unanimous consent vote in the Senate sent the bill to his desk. He is now clashing with one of his former loyalists, U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA). And Trump’s demand that Republicans kill the filibuster landed flat.

Now, Trump’s plan to send $2,000 tariff “dividend” checks to low- and middle-income Americans appears headed for the same fate as his promised $5,000 DOGE dividend payouts.

'You’ve all felt that': Economist warns early signs of looming crisis blaring under Trump

President Donald Trump rolled back tariffs on a number of grocery staples, like beef, coffee, and bananas, late last week in what is being called a “sharp reversal” of his economic policy. He even admitted that tariffs do increase prices “in some cases,” but he also insisted there is “virtually no inflation” in America.

Inflation, as many grocery store shoppers and consumers in general have seen, is “persistent,” according to economist Justin Wolfers. Officially, U.S. inflation rose to 3.0 percent in September, about the same level it was at when President Trump took office. Trump campaigned on a promise to reduce prices on day one.

Trump is 'looking awfully weak' and MAGA has stopped 'fearing him': analysis

President Donald Trump is desperate for the Jeffrey Epstein scandal to go away, and his about-face on releasing the files is a lie, writes Salon's Amanda Marcotte. She also observed that "Trump's power over the MAGA movement" is beginning to weaken — along with his own health.

"With all that’s been going on — the Epstein vote, the economic numbers, his polling, Democrats’ drubbing of the GOP in the recent elections — it’s hard to imagine he’s feeling too good these days," Marcotte writes.

President Donald Trump's hand-picked federal prosecutor admitted the full grand jury had not seen the indictment before it was handed up against Comey, and she flagged additional evidence that called into question the validity of the charges in the case.

'Never occurred before': Ex-Trump lawyer says Bondi may be disbarred over huge DOJ mistake

An ex-Trump attorney said that U.S. Attorney Pam Bondi could be disbarred over potential misconduct in the case against James Comey, former FBI director.

The case was against Comey was never shown to or voted on by a full grand jury before it was presented in open court — which could lead to Bondi and Lindsay Halligan, interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia — to be disbarred, Ty Cobb, former White House attorney during President Donald Trump's first administration, told MSNBC anchor Chris Jansing on Wednesday.
