The Illinois Democratic primary elections this week saw voters race to the polls in unprecedented numbers, and at levels so extraordinary that one political strategist warned Republicans could face a “rage turnout” from Democrats in November’s elections.

“I think there’s a strong likelihood of a rage turnout this year,” said Avivia Bowen, a Democratic strategist based in Illinois, speaking with NOTUS in its report Friday.

More than a month has gone by since President Donald Trump’s pledge to release government files on "alien and extraterrestrial life,” and one GOP lawmaker is vowing to get “loud” should the Trump administration continue to drag its feet.

On Feb. 19, Trump announced that he had directed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other federal agencies to “begin the process of identifying and releasing” government files related to aliens, UFOs and “any and all other information connected to these highly complex, but extremely interesting and important, matters.”

President Donald Trump’s plan to bolster Americans’ 401Ks by expanding access to private market investments is reaching its final stages, but according to Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) it may have come at the “worst possible moment” — and could end up sinking Americans’ savings, Politico reported Friday.

Trump signed an executive order last August designed to allow working-class Americans to more easily invest in markets not historically available to them through their retirement accounts, notably the private credit market, which involves loans made outside of traditional banks.

President Donald Trump has become little more than a sidekick to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to a pundit on MS NOW's "Morning Joe."

The 79-year-old president decided to join Israel in a military operation against Iran nearly three weeks ago, but his justification and goals for the strikes have shifted — and Americans are skeptical of their necessity. Journalist Anand Giridharadas said Trump's deference to Netanyahu was uncharacteristic for him.

Two political experts were blown away on Thursday after President Donald Trump proved he "paid attention to nothing" that his war advisors are telling him.

Joanna Coles, chief content officer at The Daily Beast, and Michael Wolff, a journalist who has written four books about Trump, discussed how Trump's war in Iran is progressing on a new episode of their podcast, "Inside Trump's Head." Since Trump's coordinated bombing campaign with Israel began in late February, the Iranian regime has effectively blockaded the Strait of Hormuz, which accounts for 20% of all energy trade.

MS NOW's Jen Psaki was beside herself on Thursday as she reported on two blockbuster stories about corruption in the Trump administration.

NBC News reported that former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's top lieutenant, Cory Lewandowski, asked federal contractors to pay him in exchange for growing their contracts with the agency. One company highlighted in particular was the private prison company, GEO Group.

A legal expert was floored on Thursday after Fulton County, Georgia's lawyers filed a motion to quash President Donald Trump's attempts to keep the voter data his administration recently seized during an FBI raid.

Fulton County's lawyers argued in the court filing that the Trump administration's attempts to conceal evidence from the judge is "arbitrary and capricious," given that the government's case relies on the testimony of the witness. In this case, the government is seeking to limit what an FBI agent testified to under oath when they helped secure the warrant that authorized the raid on Fulton County's election office.

One of President Donald Trump's corporate allies sparked a firestorm on Thursday after his plans to lead a robot revolution in manufacturing were revealed.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Amazon's Jeff Bezos is in talks to raise $100 billion to acquire manufacturing businesses and automate them with artificial intelligence. The report was published at a time when economic experts at the Federal Reserve had expressed concerns about the "almost zero" job growth over the previous year.

An economics expert issued a sobering warning on Thursday about the impact President Donald Trump's war in Iran could have at home.

Catherine Rampell, economics editor at The Bulwark, argued in a new article that the war in Iran could cause a few "ticking time-bombs" that already existed in the U.S. economy to finally explode. She mentioned the artificial intelligence bubble, the long-term displacement of white-collar workers, and the collapse of fragile "private credit" markets.

President Donald Trump's administration sparked outrage on Thursday after it unveiled a "creepy" and "illegal" design for a 24K gold coin to commemorate America's 250th birthday.

The Commission of Fine Arts approved a coin design featuring Trump hunched over, his fists on a desk. It also features a slender-looking characterization of Trump and 13 stars to represent the 13 original colonies. The commission’s vice chair, James McCrery, said the coin should be "as large as possible," CNN reported.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard appears to have heard President Donald Trump's "clarion call," and it cost her dearly, according to one analyst.

During a hearing before the House Intelligence Committee on Thursday, Gabbard ducked and dodged her way around a question about whether Iran posed an "imminent threat" to the U.S. from Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-CA). Instead, Gabbard insisted that "it would be a disservice to the American people to answer with a mere yes or no."

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's press conference on Thursday left two political analysts in disbelief.

Hegseth spoke to the media about the ongoing war in Iran and suggested that the American media was working against the Trump administration's objectives by covering the war negatively. He also bashed America's allies in Europe for not helping the U.S. reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which the Iranian regime effectively blockaded to American and Israeli ships after the two countries began a coordinated bombing campaign in Iran in late February.
