Ron DeSantis of Florida Thursday in a statement posted on Truth Social, calling him an “average” governor who was “politically dead” and in “desperate shape” before Trump endorsed him in 2017. “Ron came to me in desperate shape in 2017—he was politically dead, losing in a landslide to a very good Agriculture Commissioner, Adam Putnam, who was loaded up with cash and great poll numbers. Ron had low approval, bad polls, and no money, but he said that if I would Endorse him, he could win,” Trump said in the statement. (RELATED: ‘Do...

Former vice president Dick Cheney, in a campaign ad for his eldest daughter, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), said former president Donald Trump is a “coward” and the greatest threat to the nation in its 246-year history. “He is a coward,” Cheney says in the ad, which was released Thursday. “A real man wouldn’t lie to his supporters.

I know it, he knows it, and deep down I think most Republicans know it.” Liz Cheney faces a tough primary on Aug. 16 for Wyoming’s sole congressional seat, with Trump-backed Harriet Hageman favored to...

SACRAMENTO - Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) released the following statement regarding San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore J Cordileone's decision to deny Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-California) communion because she supports abortion access: "After supporting Prop 8 and refusing to get vaccinated, our right wing Archbishop is now attacking one of the most effective leaders in the history of our country, because she supports reproductive health and safe access to abortion. The Archbishop's refusal to give communion to Speaker Pelosi is shameful. He is deeply out of step with San Francisco and should be removed."

A federal judge overturned California's 32-year-old ban on so-called assault-style weapons on Friday, describing it as a "failed experiment" and prompting scathing criticism from the state's governor and attorney general. California has prohibited the sale of the weapons since 1989. The ban was challenged in a 2019 lawsuit against California's attorney general by plaintiffs including James Miller, a state resident, and the San Diego County Gun Owners, a political action committee. "This case is about what should be a muscular constitutional right and whether a state can force a gun policy choice that impinges on that right with a 30-year-old...

The Trump campaign on Sunday sought to distance itself from attorney Sidney Powell after she made a series of increasingly convoluted and baseless allegations of widespread nationwide election fraud. Powell, who also represents former national security adviser Michael Flynn, had appeared with campaign lawyers at press events as recently as last week. In a brief statement released Sunday afternoon, President Trump's lead attorney Rudy Giuliani and senior legal adviser Jenna Ellis said that Powell "is not a member of the Trump Legal Team." "She is also not a lawyer for the President in his personal capacity," the former New York...

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) said on Saturday that she intends to vote to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court despite her objections to the process of taking up the nomination weeks before the election.

She said during a speech on the Senate floor during a rare Saturday session that while she still opposes the process, she does...

The police department initially said Floyd, who was black, "physically resisted" the officers and that he died after "suffering medical distress." Freeman said he anticipated more charges to come, possibly against some of the...

PRC moral turpitude forces us to consider the unthinkable. We often ascribe a basic level of humanity to even the cruelest leaders, but People’s Republic of China leader Xi Jinping’s actions have forced us to rethink this assumption. Although the emergence of the novel coronavirus now known as SARS-CoV-2 was probably not due to China’s actions, the emphasis that its authoritarian system places on hiding bad news likely gave the disease a sizable head start infecting the world. But most ominously, China’s obsession with image and Machtpolitik raises serious questions about its lack of moral limits. At some point the...

Bright pink seesaws were placed between the U.S.-Mexico border wall in New Mexico Monday so that children from Mexico and the U.S. could play with each other. Two California professors, Ronald Rael and Virginia San Fratello, came up with the idea to develop a “Teetertotter Wall” between the border in 2009, according to Rael’s Instagram. The idea was meant to allow people to interact despite being separated by a wall. Rael shared the installation on Instagram Monday, stating that “the wall became a literal fulcrum for U.S. – Mexico relations.” The “Teetertotter Wall” is located between Sunland Park, New Mexico...
