Early voting turnout has reached record numbers, with up to 14 million Americans having already cast their ballots in the general election, according to US Elections Project data. US academics have warned against leaping to conclusions with regard to which party’s candidate is likely to benefit from the emerging trend – Donald Trump or Joe Biden. At least 425,028 ballots were cast in-person on 13 October, while at least 224,122 had been sent in by mail in Texas, as The Texas Tribune reported on Tuesday. Meanwhile, in Ohio, 193,021 residents have voted in person since the state’s elections centres opened on […]
On Monday, California Attorney General Xavier Becerra along with California Secretary of State Alex Padilla, both Democrats, demanded that Republicans provide a list of voters whose ballots have been collected using the “unauthorised” boxes. California Republican Party general counsel Tom Hiltachk has made it plain that they will not remove unofficial ballot drop boxes from several local counties as more than 1.5 million vote-by-mail ballots have already been cast in the Golden State. Hiltachk said on Wednesday that the boxes were installed in line with California’s “ballot harvesting” law, which typically allows volunteers to collect ballots from voters and return them […]

On Sunday, President Trump accused “Radical Left Democrats” of pushing Joe Biden to ‘pack’ the Supreme Court (i.e. increase the number of justices from 9 to as many as 15), and warned that doing so would “permanently destroy the Court.” Biden has refused to answer whether he would pack the court, saying voters “don’t deserve” to know his stance. The Joe Biden-Kamala Harris strategy of refusing to answer directly whether or not they would increase the number of Supreme Court justices if elected makes sense, because it’s not an issue that most Americans care about, and could alter the behaviour of […]

Democrat Jaime Harrison raised a record-breaking $57 million in the final quarter of his race against incumbent Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina), who sparked recent controversy over a comment about being black in his state. Harrison’s $57 million haul blows past congressional fundraising records, and is also the largest ever three-month total for a Senate candidate ever, according to his campaign. The support came through 1.5 million donations from over 990,000 donors, with an average contribution of $37. Harrison’s financial success comes only two days after Graham found himself in hot water during a public forum when discussing civil unrest over […]

Donald Trump is headed toward a massive defeat—at least, if any of the polls (or our eyes) are to be believed. What is more, there’s a decent chance a massive blue wave could do the unthinkable, sweeping even “safe” Republicans like South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham out to sea. If that happens, there will be a window of time, however fleeting, for sane Republicans to try and take back the GOP. Doing so will require following the motto of Cobra-Kai: Strike first. Strike hard. No mercy. What I am about to propose is admittedly heavy-handed. It will be called “undemocratic.” But […]

Detroit News: Detroit Magistrate Joseph Boyer set bond Thursday for conservative operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman at $100,000 in a voter intimidation case, even as the attorney general’s office argued for a $1 million bond and Burkman’s lawyer called the charges “a publicity stunt.” Wohl and Burkman on Thursday turned themselves in at the Detroit Detention Center. Assistant Attorney General Richard Cunningham said they “made a mockery of our system of government” and came with a camera crew and hundred dollar bills to pay the bond. The evidence will show there have been ongoing efforts by Burkman and Wohl to affect […]
Mail-in balloting, which has been touted by many Democrats as a safer way to vote amid the coronavirus pandemic, has faced intense criticism from some Republicans, who, led by President Donald Trump, suggest that the practice could lead to election fraud. Michigan Republicans called for a probe into a video that showed an unlocked ballot box with a single election-related mailing in it located in the city of Lansing. “We are hearing from a number of clerks around the state that they were given dropboxes that are not suited to protect the integrity of the ballot.

U.S. Senator Ron Johnson tested positive for COVID-19 on Friday. But, after finding out he had the virus, which has killed more than 220,000 Americans to date, the Wisconsin Republican still chose to attend an Oktoberfest fundraising dinner that evening. Johnson, who didn’t reveal his diagnosis until Saturday, justified his behavior in comments to the Madison, Wisconsin Capital Times by saying he only took his mask off when it was time to address the crowd. He also insisted that he was “at least 12 feet from anybody” during his speech at the event, which was sponsored by the Ozaukee County Republican […]
The statement below was issued by over 70 former senior Republican national security officials on August 20, 2020, and 60 additional senior officials have now signed on, including many who served in the Trump Administration. Since its release, Donald Trump has continued to demonstrate that he is unfit to serve as president, reportedly calling Americans who served in our armed forces “losers” and “suckers,” admitting that he deliberately downplayed the threat from the coronavirus, and, alarmingly, now refusing to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses the election.

On Wednesday, Senate Republicans issued a report about Hunter Biden’s position at Ukraine’s Burisma Holdings while his father Joe Biden, then the US vice-president, was overseeing the Obama administration’s policy for the country. The report eventually alleged that Hunter Biden’s post on the company’s board of directors was “problematic”. Hunter Biden, son of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, has allegedly sent “thousands of dollars” to people who have links to human-trafficking rings, the sex industry or prostitution, according to a footnote to the GOP report cited by the New York Post.

In anticipation of the potential nomination of a staunch Catholic woman to the Supreme Court, allies of President Donald Trump are mounting a preemptive attack on Democrats who may seek to question Judge Amy Coney Barrett about her faith—before any such questions have even been raised. But Democrats say that they have zero interest in taking the bait. “There’s no evidence in the run-up to this selection by Trump that anybody thinks it’s a good idea, on the left, to try to talk about her time as a professor at Notre Dame or her religious affiliations in the context of opposing […]
US President Donald Trump has repeatedly accused Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son of engaging in corruption in Ukraine during the administration of US President Barack Obama, allegations that the Dem presidential hopeful rejects. Senate Republicans have issued a report lashing out at former vice president and current Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, over his role on the board of a Ukrainian energy company, during the Obama administration.

One week after Election Day, the Supreme Court is set to hear the latest legal challenge to the Affordable Care Act—and a newly confirmed conservative justice could easily usher in a decision that overturns the sweeping health-care law once and for all. Democrats might not have the power to stop President Donald Trump’s nominee to the court from being seated before it hears that case on Nov. 10. But in the meantime, they’re working to make sure Republicans who vote for the president’s pick are tagged with the painful politics of health care. But if Republicans are at all concerned about […]

Conservatives are slamming mainstream media outlets after their almost identical coverage of the Senate Democrats’ decision to vote against a coronavirus relief bill appeared to blame Republicans for the “failure.” After months of negotiations, a coronavirus stimulus package, which included funding for schools and Covid-19 testing, unemployment benefits, and the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), was voted down by every Democrat in the Senate on Thursday. The only Republican to join them was Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky). Needing 60 votes to pass, the bill earned a 52-47 outcome and it’s now unlikely a coronavirus stimulus package will pass before November’s presidential election. […]

In other words, he is a bully… As a proud nerd, I had to deal with bullies over many years; it is tragedy watching our world suffer from one.” Conversely, he praised Biden for having the “desire to […]

Long before the coronavirus pandemic utterly destroyed his vision of a great American “revival” this summer—to be packed with his signature mega-rallies, economic renewal, and an extravagant 2020 Republican National Convention that would show up Joe Biden—the president was planning for yet another evening of being treated as a Republican rock-star while anointed the party standard-bearer.

The Daily Beast obtained a permit application that the Maryland GOP submitted Thursday afternoon for three gatherings of 10,000 people on National Parks Service property, which the state Republican Party said it would run in conjunction with the Maryland Black Republican Council. The trio of events, described in the paperwork as sign-waving celebrations of the First Amendment, would occur on Tuesday morning […]
The Democrat convention nominating Joe Biden for president in Milwaukee will kick off Monday night with four Republican speakers: Former Ohio Governor John Kasich, former New Jersey Governor Christine Todd Whitman, former Rep. Susan Molinari (NY) and 2010 GOP nominee for California governor Meg Whitman. The theme for the Republicans endorsing Biden Monday night is, “We the People Putting Country Over Party.” The overall theme of the night is “We the People”.

Cedric Richmond (D-LA) told reporters in a conference call Monday the campaign is targeting so-called […]
Thirty-six years after Geraldine Ferraro became the first woman named to a major party ticket, we have a chance as a country to get it right, not just the outcome but the process itself. California Senator Kamala Harris is not a surprise out-of-the-box pick like Ferraro, a congresswoman from Queens. And there’s no expectation that it’s all on her—the way it was for Ferraro—to shake up the campaign and bring Joe Biden across the finish line. The former vice president is doing fine in the polls, thank you. Harris is an added benefit, not the Hail Mary pass Ferraro was when […]
New reports indicate that 2020 presidential campaign latecomer and Birthday Party (BDY) nominee Kanye West is receiving assistance from at least four individuals who have previously maintained close ties to the Republican Party and GOP politics. Vice News revealed Tuesday evening that Lane Ruhland, “an experienced GOP operative with ties to President Trump’s campaign,” was the individual seen submitting signature papers to the Wisconsin Elections Commission building in Madison, Wisconsin. While Ruhland, who entered the building after regular office hours, declined to provide comment on how many signatures she was able to receive for West’s presidential campaign, Wisconsin law requires “a […]

Claiming that the novel coronavirus that’s killed roughly 157,000 Americans isn’t “that much worse” than the flu, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) blasted the media on Monday for supposedly peddling COVID-19 “panic porn” and downplaying the so-called effectiveness of unproven anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine. Johnson, who last month insisted that the nation “overreacted” to the coronavirus pandemic,” appeared on far-right podcast War Room: Pandemic to push back against the overwhelming scientific evidence that hydroxychloroquine is not an effective coronavirus treatment or preventative. Host Steve Bannon, who previously served as President Donald Trump’s chief strategist and has now become one of the controversial drug’s […]

Health Editor’s Note: Recently we lost two black leaders…one, John Lewis, a exemplary individual, and then Herman Cain who made things as bad as he possibly could for many people. Trump did not attend Lewis’s funeral but mourned Cain, calling his death a result of the ‘China’ virus. That statement in itself is blasphemous, but we continue with the story….. Cain refused to wear a mask, even though he was a cancer survivor, and now has paid the price for thinking he was above a lowly virus. Cain has been an enemy of the U.S. He has as many allegations of […]
Congress has voted to kill an amendment that would have blocked the military from recruiting through streaming platforms like Twitch, with nearly half of Democrats in the House joining the effort to strike down the measure. A House vote of 196-292 easily quashed the appropriations bill amendment on Thursday, a measure introduced by New York Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to bar military funding for outreach to young gamers. While Republicans opposed the amendment unanimously, Democrats were split down the middle, with 103 joining the GOP and only a narrow majority of 126 voting in favor. “War is not a game,” Ocasio-Cortez said […]
As word spread on Wednesday that another lawmaker had contracted COVID-19, initial concern for his well-being was quickly overwhelmed with a tide of anger and frustration. Because it wasn’t just any lawmaker who contracted the disease. It was Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX). The conservative firebrand has steadfastly refused to wear a face mask while conducting his Capitol Hill business—including while greeting Attorney General William Barr before testimony in the Judiciary Committee just this Tuesday. Gohmert even took pains to force his COVID denialism on his aides, with one staffer suggesting to Politico that those in the office were berated for wearing […]
A US House hearing meant by Democrats to excoriate Attorney General William Barr got off to a rocky start Monday as ranking Republican Jim Jordan showed a video montage of violent protests raging across the country. The video began with clips of more than a dozen media outlets and Democrat leaders describing the wave of anti-racism demonstrations as “peaceful protests,” followed by the widow of retired St Louis police captain David Dorn speaking about the murder of her husband by a looter on June 2. Video of rioting, looting and arson then begins to play with the widow’s speech continuing. Immediately […]
The VT ‘Twitter Storm’ below has a purpose. Without proof this is reported elsewhere, VT would be accused of ‘Semitism.’ We don’t want that.

For the first time ever, Congress’ most MAGA contingent on Tuesday decided to test the rule that Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) is the only high-profile Republican who can criticize President Trump and get away with it. By the end of the day, their efforts had made abundantly clear that Cheney can, in fact, still get away with it—at least for now—with her reputation largely unscathed. At a closed-door meeting of House Republicans—their first fully in-person meeting since early March—several lawmakers who present themselves as unflinchingly loyal to Trump took the opportunity to execute what struck some as a coordinated broadside on […]

If you need proof that Donald Trump’s tenure will leave Republicans worse off—collectively and individually—than when they found him, please allow me to introduce you to Jeff Sessions, whose political career came to an abrupt close Tuesday night. Six years ago, Sessions was a powerful U.S. Senator. He had run unopposed for his fourth senate term, and Jesus Christ might have had a hard time defeating him in Alabama. Today, Sessions found himself handily rejected by his fellow Alabama Republicans in a political riches-to-rags story that it’s hard to see as anything but a tragedy. Trump might never have become the […]

In a feverish op-ed printed in The Hill on Monday, former US Senator and New Hampshire Governor Judd Gregg said the recent mass uprisings against racism have emboldened progressives such that if Joe Biden wins in the November elections, they will attempt to overthrow him and replace him with “one of their own.” The recent mass uprisings prompted by a slew of police-linked killings of Black people in the US have seen symbols, names and monuments to racist figures in American history come tumbling down, both literally and metaphorically. However, for one Republican, the real fear is that progressives’ next target […]

During the 2014 midterm elections, Ernst joined a chorus of Republicans who exploited the outbreak of Ebola in West Africa for political gain. Despite Obama deploying 3,000 service members to Africa to contain the virus, and only 11 confirmed cases and two deaths recorded in the United States, Ernst at the time accused the president of “failed […]
Photo Illustration by Sarah Rogers/The Daily Beast / Photos Getty Are you better off now than you were four years ago? For Republicans, the answer is decidedly “No.” Consider this startling stat: Dave Wasserman, House editor for the Cook Political Report, recently noted that “when President Trump took office in January 2017, there were 241 Republicans in the House. Since then, 115 (48 percent) have either retired, resigned, been defeated, or are retiring in 2020.” A handful of those 115 were Republicans losing primaries to more Trumpy candidates (like what happened this week in Colorado, when a QAnon fan defeated an […]

One of the few remaining areas of broad bipartisan consensus on Capitol Hill has been a tough policy toward Russia— a topic that frequently creates a stark contrast to President Trump, who has maintained personally warm ties to its leader, Vladimir Putin, and has generally followed behind Congress on Russia counter-measures. But the cognitive dissonance between those things proved increasingly difficult to square on Tuesday for members of the GOP after reporting in the New York Times detailed that Trump was briefed on a Russian effort to place bounties on U.S. troops in Afghanistan. The report said that Trump was given […]
