Fox News seems to be working some Donald Trump damage control by way of Chick-fil-A. Trump reportedly pulled in more than $50 million at a billionaire-hosted Florida fundraising event over the weekend. Fox News described the event as filled with “heavy hitters,” and gleefully characterized the money raised as a “historic” haul. A short while later stories came out describing the fundraising event less as an achievement for the history books and more of an event where Trump promised a room full...

Poor Donald Trump. It seems he isn’t selling enough $399 high-tops or $60 Bibles, and his Truth Social stock is in the toilet, so it’s time for a new, new, new, new grift: charging his fellow Republicans for uttering his name. The Trump campaign announced in a letter Politico obtained that Republican candidates and committees are now expected to pay “a minimum of 5% of all fundraising solicitations to Trump National Committee JFC” for using his “name, image, and likeness in fundraising...

More than a month after House Republicans impeached Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, despite the GOP’s inability to find any evidence of him committing high crimes, the articles were finally delivered to the Senate on Tuesday. Republicans in the upper chamber responded by demanding a full impeachment trial. They didn’t get one. As NBC News reported, the Senate Democratic majority dismissed both of the articles against the DHS chief just hours after the proceedings began. There...
While criminal trials often have dramatic moments, the process of selecting a jury isn’t exactly riveting. An NBC News report on the first day of Donald Trump’s criminal trial noted, “The quest to find a jury of 12 people and six alternates got off to a slow start Monday, as more than half of the 96 potential jurors summoned to the Manhattan courtroom said they couldn’t be ‘fair and impartial’" when it comes to the former president. But as the day got underway in New York, one of the presumptive...

The campaign for Donald Trump's 2024 presidential bid has come up with a new way to raise cash — which involves calling on down-ballot candidates who use his name and likeness in fundraising pushes to give him a cut of the money they raise. “Beginning tomorrow, we ask that all candidates and committees who choose to use President Trump’s name, image, and likeness split a minimum of 5% of all fundraising solicitations to Trump National Committee JFC. This includes, but is not limited to, sending...
President Joe Biden repeatedly lambasted former President Donald Trump over his tax policies during a campaign stop at his childhood hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday afternoon.

Biden’s three-day […]
