Representative Tim Burchett (R-TN) claims former House Speaker Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) shoved him while his back was turned. NPR congressional correspondent Claudia Grisales first reported the encounter on X (formerly Twitter), saying it happened when she spoke with Burchett after the GOP’s conference meeting on Tuesday. Burchett was one of the House Republicans who supported the push to oust McCarthy as Speaker, and according to him and Grisales, McCarthy struck at him which led to an intense encounter. Burchett's back was to McCarthy and his detail walking by in the hallway, then the lunge. Burchett responded jokingly as McCarthy...

“I can’t believe I have to say this,” Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) said during the debate over the motion to censure her in Congress this week, “but Palestinian people are not disposable. We are human beings just like anyone else.”

With every hour that passes, Donald Trump’s grip on the Republican Party’s 2024 presidential nomination grows tighter. Every day in which his opponents aren’t gaining ground on his position is a day in which he gets nearer to appearing on the ballot next November and nearer to possibly being inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2025.

once-robust alliance of federal agencies, tech companies, election officials and researchers that worked together to thwart foreign propaganda and disinformation has fragmented after years of sustained Republican attacks. The GOP offensive started during the 2020 election as public critiques and has since escalated into lawsuits, governmental inquiries and public relations campaigns that have succeeded in stopping almost all coordination between the government and social media platforms.

In an appearance Tuesday morning on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie said the news that Mark Meadows, Donald Trump’s former White House chief of staff, had been granted immunity for grand jury testimony is a “deadly” development for Trump. “You don’t give Mark Meadows immunity unless the evidence he has is unimpeachable,” Christie said. “I want all Republican voters to understand this. What’s going to be happening in March? He’s going to be sitting in a courtroom in Washington, D.C., with Mark Meadows 20 feet away from him saying he committed crimes in front of me on...

Prominent Democratic Party strategist James Carville is claiming that "leading Democrats" have been telling him to hush up about President Biden’s difficult prospects for winning re-election in 2024. In an article about Rep. Dean Phillips’, D-Minn., newly announced bid to primary Biden, The Atlantic spoke to Carville about his belief that the current president’s chances has a high mountain to climb as he seeks re-election. The strategist disclosed that Biden’s numbers are "not good" and added Democrats are trying to get him to stop talking about it, not because he’s wrong, but because the idea is upsetting, he suggested. Carville...

RNC Research I wrote earlier about a couple of the teaser clips from the "60 Minutes" interview with Joe Biden.Those were bad, but the complete interview was even worse. First, we should note that there was a little bit of water-carrying for Joe Biden with host Scott Pelley saying that the president was fitting them into his busy schedule on Thursday. Can't make it up.@60Minutes's @ScottPelley carrying water for Biden before the interview even airs.Pelley claims Biden had to "wedge" the interview into his busy schedule.He had a 10am briefing and a 4:30 meeting that day. That's it. pic.twitter.com/i7Fb26TmpN— Mark...

In a string of remarkable coincidences, President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice has taken a keen interest in all things Elon Musk. The US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York is reportedly pursuing criminal charges against Musk, scrutinizing whether the Tesla CEO failed to disclose personal benefits he received from his car company. The Wall Street Journal reports that the new inquiry centers around Tesla’s “Project 42,” an alleged plan for a weird glass home and structure that Musk talked about constructing in Texas but never built. It is quite the happenstance that only last month, the...

That poses a problem for Biden, who shed the faux centrist label that he used for the campaign once he took office, but there is a larger issue at play. Biden is losing ground among black and Hispanic working-class voters because those voters are not the priority of the Democratic Party anymore. The Democratic Party is run by elitists, for elitists, and that means leaving behind blue-collar workers of all races.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said Tuesday on CNN’s “This Morning” that he believed former President Donald Trump is pressuring Republicans to pursue an “illegitimate impeachment inquiry” into President Joe Biden. Jeffries said, “Well, throughout this year, the American people have been forced to deal with a do-nothing extreme Republican Congress that has done nothing to make a difference in the economy, nothing to make a difference with respect to job creation, nothing as it relates to health care affordability, nothing as to relates to inflation, nothing as it relates to public safety.” He continued, “They have nothing to...

MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell said Friday on her show “Andrea Mitchell Reports” that she believed the testimony of Hunter Biden’s former business associate Devon Archer to the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability “exonerated” President Joe Biden. Mitchell said, “It was originally reported by the Republican readout that Archer had suggested something that insinuated improper behavior by the president and his son, and then when Archer came out and the transcript came out, it was very clear that he had exonerated the president.

The Washington Post’s fact-checking department has yet again quietly updated — rather than corrected — its most-read story, which contained glaring errors about first son Hunter Biden’s laptop and an infamous dinner involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and Burisma executive Vadym Pozharskyi. Glenn Kessler, the paper’s chief fact-checker, has made six updates and authored an entirely new article about The Post’s bombshell reports in October 2020 and May 2021 that revealed Hunter Biden introduced his father to Pozharskyi at Café Milano in Georgetown months after joining the natural gas firm’s board. The initial fact check relied on statements from Andrew...

@elonmusk The New York Times actually has the nerve to support calls for genocide! If ever there was a time to cancel that publication, it is now. You can read their articles for free anyway using http://removepaywall.com.

The FBI’s efforts to mislead a federal court in order to wiretap an adviser to the Trump campaign were more extensive than previously reported, according to classified documents described to RealClearInvestigations. The embattled bureau tried to hide its misconduct by redacting information about its actions under the guise that it involved sensitive intelligence information. RCI has learned that at least some of the redacted material, included in a “Classified Appendix” to Special Counsel John Durham’s final report, has nothing to do with protecting “sources and methods” and other “sensitive” investigative techniques. Instead, it covers up additional improper behavior by the...

Comedian Jim Gaffigan called President Biden a "compassionate father" while arguing that Donald Trump is the more corrupt politician, with his actions leaving "very little doubt" in Gaffigan's mind that Trump is the "most corrupt" high-ranking official. On episode #2014 of "The Joe Rogan Experience," Rogan hosted Gaffigan, who spoke about financial and political corruption and remarked that he felt Joe Biden's corruption paled in comparison to Trump's.

The New York Times is now changing its tune as the narrative from the White House crumbles regarding Democrat President Joe Biden’s role in his family business. The NY Times is now claiming that it “has long been known” that the president “interacted” with his son Hunter Biden’s “business partners.” The gaslighting shift in position from the corporate media outlet comes after Hunter’s longtime friend and business partner Devon Archer gave an explosive whistleblowing testimony against the Bidens before Congress on Monday. Archer was called to testify before the House Oversight Committee on the Biden family business. He confirmed to...

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) opened up about his first six months in Congress and did not hold back about how the institution functions. “There’s a fixation on a lot of dumb s—. Bad performance art is really what it gets down to,” Fetterman said in an interview with The New York Times. The freshman senator said everything in Washington is turning into a “culture war,” adding that not everything “has to be a think piece.” Specifically pointing to the debt ceiling, he claimed here shouldn’t have been drama. “The fact that we’re playing with something like that is antithetical to...

In an era of sensationalism and clickbait headlines, the media’s portrayal of all hot weather as a sign of end times adopts an apocalyptic tone. Each scorching summer is touted as further evidence of an impending climate catastrophe with little room for nuance or objective analysis. Lost in the hyperbole is the inconvenient truth that cold weather actually poses a far greater threat to human life than heat waves do. In other words, no, we’re not all going to burn up this summer — and in fact, more of us might survive next winter. Contrary to popular media efforts to...

MSNBC host Joy Reid garnered backlash after she claimed that members of the Republican Party are no longer allowed to say that slavery was terrible. On Thursday, Republican presidential candidate and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis swiped at Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., continuing to defend the state's new school history curriculum. DeSantis' comments came after Donalds took issue with one of the lines from the new state standards, arguing "the attempt to feature the personal benefits of slavery is wrong & needs to be adjusted." He called the rest of the standards "good, robust and accurate."
