Former President Donald Trump's outspoken followers are unwittingly helping his political foe in the upcoming presidential debate by bombarding President Joe Biden with insults about his age, according to The Guardian political columnist Margaret Sullivan.

Conservatives' constant attacks on Biden's mental sharpness have only succeeded in easing the criteria for success the 81-year-old incumbent must meet when he faces off against Trump on CNN Thursday night, Sullivan argues.

Anti-Trump attorney George Conway has a message for supporters of former President Donald Trump who believe that he garners absolute respect from foreign leaders all across the world.

During a recent episode of The Bulwark's "George Conway Explains It All" podcast, he needled Trump supporters for buying into the former president's frequent claims that America was "respected" during his administration.

The federal judge overseeing former President Donald Trump's classified documents case has taken her delay dalliances so far as to put American lives at risk, according to a seething new editorial.

Salon editor Charles R. Davis on Monday slammed Judge Aileen Cannon's delays in considering special counsel Jack Smith plea to tighten restrictions on Trump's dangerous rhetoric, which has seen law enforcement face threats of family slaughter, as she ponders the former president's ravings about assassination plots, shadow governments and deep state henchmen.

Trevian Kutti, a co-defendant in the Georgia election interference case against Donald Trump, denied that 6 million Jews were killed in the Holocaust.

In a post on the social media platform X last week, Kutti shared her views about what happened in the camps run by Hitler's Nazi Germany.

The co-hosts of "The View" began Monday by trouncing Donald Trump's spokesperson, who went up against Kasie Hunt on CNN Monday and was cut off as she launched attacks on the host's colleagues.

The spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt, answered questions with furious assaults on CNN debate moderators Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, who will preside over the event on Thursday.

A Georgia sheriff's office has refused to investigate death threats and racial slurs against election workers, saying the attacks are "not a crime."

Milton Kidd, the voter registration director in Douglas County, told Stateline that he was regularly threatened.

Almost half of young voters say that neither candidate understands their demographic's needs or concerns, according to a new poll.

When asked if either candidate understood "the needs and concerns of younger people," voters under 30 appeared to be unconvinced that either candidate did. President Joe Biden was the most-highly ranked, with 26% saying he understood them. One-fifth said former President Donald Trump understood, and only 5% said that both candidates did. But 48% said that neither candidate understood their needs.

Conservative Ramesh Ponnuru believes that former President Donald Trump made a policy blunder recently that has garnered little attention but that he believes could come back to hurt him.

Writing in the Washington Post, Ponnuru takes aim at Trump's recent declaration that he would cut off funds to schools that mandated vaccinations for students.

A controversial campaign promise from former President Donald Trump is little more than a sly plot to benefit corporations under the guise of supporting the working class, a Harvard University professor argued Monday.

Trump's pledge to exempt tips from federal income tax could destroy full-time jobs and force workers into tipped positions vulnerable to exploitative employers and customers with the right to withhold the bulk of their pay, Sharon Block, executive director of Harvard Law's Center for Labor and a Just Economy, argued in an MSNBC op-ed Monday.

The U.S. Supreme Court still hasn't issued a ruling in the Donald Trump immunity case, which has essentially handed a legal win to the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, according to a Washington Post columnist.

Trump's strategy in all four of his criminal prosecutions has been to delay the proceedings past the election in hopes that he could shut them down if he wins, and the top court has already jeopardized the start of a trial in the federal election interference case by waiting so long to issue a decision on his claims of broad immunity, wrote Jennifer Rubin.

Karoline Leavitt, the national spokesperson for the Trump 2024 campaign, showed up on Steve Bannon's War Room program Monday just hours after CNN abruptly ended her interview for insulting the network's debate moderators.

Legal experts have raised red flags repeatedly about Project 2025, a plan backed by the extreme-right Heritage Foundation to help Donald Trump — or any other future Republican president — purge the federal government of rank-and-file employees who will follow the law over the orders of the president and institute Christian nationalist principles, among other things.

Now, according to the Associated Press, Heritage is paying another right-wing organization to spy on federal workers and compile a list of those who would be disloyal to Trump if he retakes the presidency this year.

A Black, gay conservative insisted he's sticking by Donald Trump despite facing racial and homophobic harassment by the former president's supporters.

Podcast host Rob Smith published a column in Newsweek explaining that he was still backing Trump despite leaving the Republican Party last year after far-right extremists inspired by white supremacist Nick Fuentes chanted slurs at him at an event hosted by the right-wing Turning Points USA.
