Governor JB Pritzker (D-IL) said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union" that he was concerned about a presidential debate because former President Donald Trump "lies and lies and lies." | Clips
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is no recent convert to Donald Trump’s gospel of the Big Lie; after the 2020 election, Johnson led 100 House Republicans in filing an amicus brief supporting an effort to invalidate the results of four swing states President Joe Biden won. So it was little surprise to see him standing next to Trump at Mar-a-Lago on Friday, trying to link election conspiracy-mongering to immigration fear-mongering. Johnson and Trump were there to propose new legislation...
Pearl Jam front man Eddie Vedder explained the meaning behind the band's politically-themed song off their album "Dark Matter."The song titled "Wreckage" is purportedly about Donald Trump, Vedder told the Times, calling the former president and candidate "desperate to win" and only looking to avoid imprisonment."There is a guy in the United States who is still saying he didn’t lose an election," he told the British outlet. "And people are reverberating and amplifying that message as if it is...
To the editor: Buried more than 20 paragraphs into your article on the presidential candidates' instances of dishonesty and mistakes, there is a statement by Joe Biden that is propped up as a lie that justifies this comparison to Donald Trump. President Biden's "lie"? That he visited ground zero in New York the day after 9/11, when he actually went nine days later. Contrasting this misstatement with the torrent of lies and malicious fabrications that flow nonstop from former President Trump, and...

President Joe Biden lies about everything: the economy, Israel, Nelson Mandela and more. It’s up to voters to may him pay the price in November.
Trump tried to illegally influence the 2016 presidential election by preventing damaging stories about his personal life from becoming public, a prosecutor told jurors.
Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee on Friday announced a “100,000 person strong” program designed to harass election officials and their employees and discredit democracy in Nevada and a dozen other states. In a statement announcing its Orwellian named “election integrity program,” the RNC said it is “establishing a robust network of monitoring, and protection against any violation or fraud.” Neither the RNC, Trump, nor anyone else has ever provided any evidence of fraud...
Perhaps the author of a recent letter understands how Donald Trump’s attorney general, Bill Barr, put his finger on the scales of justice numerous times and that Trump has promised to do so if reelected, since he believes that’s what presidents do (“Biden is a dictator using agencies to ruin Trump,” Star-Advertiser, April 16). Of course, he laughingly denies Trump ever did it. See the Mueller report or Michael Cohen or Geoffrey Berman as proof of the fact.
(The Center Square) – Former President Donald Trump and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson have raised the alarm about non-citizens voting in U.S. elections, citing the border crisis. They did so after Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., told Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas this week that his policies were impacting U.S. elections and after Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, reintroduced a bill to require proof of citizenship to vote. DHS Secretary...
Former President Trump made history last year as the first of the nation's chief executives to be indicted for a crime. This week, he will add another chapter — becoming the first former president to stand trial on criminal charges. And later this year, he could top even that if he becomes the first candidate with a criminal record to win the presidency. Here's a look at the unprecedented legal questions Trump's situation presents. Yes. There's nothing in the Constitution or federal law that...
Let's be clear: If Donald Trump is talking about abortion, he's losing. He and his campaign would much rather be playing offense, slamming President Joe Biden on issues like immigration and the economy as the 2024 presidential race heats up. But when he's talking about abortion, Trump is playing defense. So at the outset of the week, Trump tried to put the issue to rest. Here's a very brief recap of how that worked out. Monday: After months of obfuscation, Trump finally stated his position on...
