CNN host Dana Bash claimed former President Donald Trump was "hurting" his own MAGA voters by spreading conspiracy theories about FEMA support in western North Carolina in the aftermath of flooding caused by Hurricane Helene.

"The Biden administration is blasting Donald Trump's barrage of lies in the wake of Hurricane Helene," Bash said during a CNN panel discussion on Monday. "The former president is falsely accusing federal relief agencies of maliciously withholding and misusing aid."

On the first day of its new term, the U.S. Supreme Court in an unsigned opinion upheld a lower court ruling that enforces Texas’ ban on certain emergency abortions. The Biden administration had sought to overturn the ban and enforce its policy requiring hospitals to perform the emergency, potentially life-saving procedures. The Court declined, allowing the Texas law, one of the strictest in the nation, to remain in effect.

The Biden administration had argued "that hospitals have to perform abortions in emergency situations under federal law. The administration pointed to the Supreme Court’s action in a similar case from Idaho earlier this year in which the justices narrowly allowed emergency abortions to resume while a lawsuit continues," the Associated Press reports. "Doctors have said the [Texas] law remains dangerously vague after a medical board refused to specify exactly which conditions qualify for the exception."

Former President Donald Trump's efforts to catch up with Vice President Kamala Harris' fundraising pose a serious danger of major corruption, a slew of political experts told the Guardian Monday.

"The View" began its Monday show hitting Donald Trump over false information he's shared about the government response to Hurricane Helene — and voicing concern for badly affected North Carolina if it doesn't elect the former president.

On Saturday, Trump was joined by Tesla CEO and X owner Elon Musk in Butler, Pennsylvania, where he falsely claimed that the Federal Emergency Management Agency had run out of money because President Joe Biden spent it on support for immigrants. He also claimed last week that FEMA was intentionally withholding aid from affected areas that are in Republican states.

Former President Donald Trump appears to be getting into the cryptocurrency business, and the New York Times reports that the "serial entrepreneurs" he has brought in to helm his foray have checkered pasts.

According to the Times, Trump crypto business partners Chase Herro and Zachary Folkman have been "leaving behind a trail of lawsuits and unpaid debt and taxes" in their assorted ventures.

An appeal brought by Elon Musk's X (formerly Twitter) social media platform over special counsel Jack Smith's request for former President Donald Trump's Twitter records without him being notified was denied Monday.

According to NBC News, the case is connected to Smith's investigation into Trump's alleged interference in the 2020 presidential election.

A bombshell court filing by special counsel Jack Smith includes a key detail that shows Donald Trump is playing right into his prosecutor's hands, a legal expert argued Monday.

In their weekly "Jack" podcast, analyst Allison Gill and former deputy director of the FBI, Andy McCabe, cited a piece of the filing in which Smith points to Trump's "disregard for the truth."

Donald Trump's speeches have grown noticeably darker and less coherent — and New York Times correspondent Peter Baker has tracked the changes using statistics.

The reporter conducted an analysis of the former president's rally speeches dating back to 2015 and found that they had nearly doubled in length, from 45 minutes eight years ago to 82 minutes now. And they show clear signs of advancing age and diminishing mental capacity.

Residents of a California county are growing increasingly concerned as the election draws near — and a pro-Trump conspiracy theorist has been left to run voting administration, according to a report.

Their ability to actually govern is about to be put to the test in a big way, reported the Guardian.

A beloved building belonging to former President Donald Trump appears to be drowning in debt as problematic financial deadlines loom, according to a new financial analysis.

A once powerful adviser to former President Donald Trump's reelection campaign has been back-benched over complaints of delusions of grandeur, according to a new report.
