A federal appeals court has dealt a significant setback to special counsel Jack Smith’s latest effort to revive his classified documents case against former President Donald Trump, which was tossed out earlier this month by U.S. Florida District Judge Aileen Cannon. According to Politico, Smith’s attempt to breathe new life into the case is now on shaky ground after the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals announced it would allow both sides until mid-October to file briefs. This move guarantees that the case will not be resolved before the November election. The announcement follows Judge Cannon’s ruling that federal law is…

The dispute centers on the destiny of Murdoch’s media empire after his death and could impact its status as a bastion of conservative values in the future. The 93-year-old tycoon started the family feud last year with a move amending the terms of the formidable Murdoch family trust.

On the second day of congressional hearings into the near-assassination of former President Donald Trump, FBI Director Christopher Wray confirmed a significant development in the investigation, just hours after the Secret Service head’s resignation. Wray’s testimony before the U.S. House Judiciary Committee followed that of former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, who resigned after overseeing one of the worst security failures in decades. Lawmakers, led by Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH), grilled Wray about a drone recovered from the gunman’s car. The shooter, 20-year-old Thomas Crooks, used the drone to assess the perimeter of the Trump rally on July 13.…

In a dramatic update from Silver Bulletin, Nate Silver’s successor to the FiveThirtyEight election forecast, the numbers paint a stark picture for Biden. “We’re seeing a lot of bad polling numbers for Joe Biden over the past 24 hours — although to be more precise, what we’re really seeing is Trump’s numbers spiking while Biden’s remain depressed,” Silver noted. The polling guru’s latest data reveals that Biden’s chances of…

In the final stretch of President Donald Trump’s vice presidential selection process, former First Lady Melania Trump is reportedly championing North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum. According to Puck News, Melania has been vocal in her support for Burgum, 67, who has actively campaigned for Trump across several swing states. This endorsement is influenced by Melania’s close relationship with Burgum’s wife, Kathryn, who collaborated with her on a White House initiative. Meanwhile, Donald Trump Jr. is lobbying strongly for Ohio Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH), creating a competitive internal dynamic. A source remarked, “If it’s Melania over Don Jr., she wins,” though…

The Supreme Court has delivered a significant setback to the Biden administration’s environmental initiatives by ruling against the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) efforts to enforce stricter air quality controls across several states. At the heart of the contention was the EPA’s “good neighbor” rule, aimed at managing ozone pollution that crosses state lines. The plan, originally designed to apply to 23 states, intended to establish stringent controls to mitigate the effects of ozone pollution—a move that has now hit a judicial roadblock. Justice Neil Gorsuch, representing the majority, penned a critical opinion that effectively pauses the EPA’s ambitious regulatory framework,…
The atmosphere is charged in Washington as Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) escalates the ongoing clash between congressional Republicans and the Justice Department. A stalwart in her party, Luna drew a hard line with Attorney General Merrick Garland, whose contentious history includes a failed Supreme Court nomination under the Obama administration. Luna ramped up her campaign by issuing an ultimatum to Garland, demanding compliance with a House Oversight Committee subpoena. Failure to comply, she warned on Wednesday, would trigger a vote on an “inherent contempt” measure, a powerful but seldom-used congressional tool. “We are here today because of the double…

Jamaal Bowman, the contentious New York congressman, often cites his background as a former school principal and his Ed.D. in education to bolster his policy positions. However, a new analysis by school choice leader Christopher Rufo reveals that his 2019 dissertation, “Community Schools: The Perceptions and Practices that Foster Broad-Based Collaboration amongst leaders with the Community School Ecosystem,” is fraught with basic errors, illogical conclusions, and several instances of plagiarism. (Bowman did not respond to requests for comment.) Bowman has frequently praised his dissertation on social media, viewing it as a cornerstone of his political philosophy. When recently asked about…

Prominent pollster Frank Luntz has sounded the alarm for Democrats, cautioning that Donald Trump could potentially win Minnesota, a state historically considered a Democratic stronghold. Despite facing significant legal challenges, Trump continues to defy conventional political expectations. “To me, it’s not that Donald Trump is winning so big in Iowa. That’s not the story. It’s that he’s making it close in Minnesota,” Luntz remarked. “Minnesota is a reliable Democratic state. It votes Democrat in every presidential campaign. In poll after poll, I see Trump within two or three points in Minnesota.” Minnesota, traditionally a bastion for Democratic candidates in presidential…

President Joe Biden appeared notably disjointed during his remarks at an event on Sunday, prompting visible astonishment from former President Barack Obama in a recently surfaced video clip from their high-profile Los Angeles fundraiser. The event, aimed at drumming up support for Biden’s 2024 reelection campaign, inadvertently showed a series of verbal missteps from Biden that have fueled critiques about his fitness for office.

The slip,…

On Monday, Joy Reid delivered a scathing critique of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, accusing him of attempting to steer the United States toward a “Christian nationalist ethno-state.” This accusation comes amidst a series of controversies involving Alito that have fueled Democratic criticism of his integrity. One major point of contention stems from a ProPublica report last year, which revealed that Alito took part in a fishing trip to Alaska organized by billionaire Paul Singer. Singer later had cases before the Supreme Court, yet Alito did not recuse himself, asserting there was no conflict of interest. Further controversy emerged when…

The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, along with the Judiciary and Ways and Means Committees, issued criminal referrals for Hunter Biden and James Biden on Wednesday afternoon. Spearheaded by Chairmen James Comer (R-KY), Jim Jordan (R-OH), and Jason Smith (R-MO), the referrals charge President Joe Biden’s son and brother with making false statements to Congress.

Mark O’Mara, a former attorney now serving as a legal analyst for CNN, told the network that former President Donald Trump has a strong chance of successfully appealing his guilty verdict in the Manhattan hush money case due to multiple significant issues in the trial. “What are the odds of this on appeal for Trump?” CNN’s Erin Burnett asked O’Mara. “I actually think they’re pretty good because there are a number of significant issues with the way this trial was handled,” O’Mara replied confidently. “We’re not talking about Donald Trump anymore. We’re discussing whether the trial was conducted fairly and…
