The Colorado Republican Party's chairman is experiencing stiff backlash from candidates running for office after suggesting they should be enthusiastic backers of former President Donald Trump.According to the Colorado Sun, GOP candidates running in the Centennial State's June primary were sent a three-page questionnaire to determine whether they would receive the endorsement of the party ahead of the primary — a major break from past tradition. One of the criteria for an official endorsement is if a candidate supports "President Trump’s populist, America-first agenda." Colorado GOP chairman Dave Williams was blasted by candidates for appearing to put his finger on the scale over candidates with more raw voter supp

New York City attorney Todd Blanche has often clashed with Justice Juan Merchan during former President Donald Trump's hush money/falsified business records trial. Yet Blanche has had a reputation for being a very skillful trial lawyer — a reputation that, Salon's Amanda Marcotte stresses in an article published on May 2, is suffering because of his work in this case.During the trial,

A 50-year-old Wyoming state law mandating regular purges of voter rolls just resulted in the removal of more than a quarter of the Cowboy State's registered voters, according to a new report.Local news site WyoFile reported that state authorities have removed approximately 83,500 names from its database of registered voters since 2022, which amounts to roughly 28% of Wyoming voters. State law requires that every February, the secretary of state's office has to remove all registered voters from the rolls who didn't vote in the most recent election. This means that any Wyoming voters who were registered in 2020 but didn't show up during the 2022 mid

Donald Trump has been arguing that because he was still president in late 2020 and early 2021, he enjoys absolute immunity from prosecution in special counsel Jack Smith's election interference case — an argument that the U.S. Supreme Court examined during a Thursday, April 25 hearing.That day, the justices heard oral arguments both for and against Trump's immunity claim — which some lower federal court judges have flat-out rejected, including

Political pundits have been floating a variety of possible scenarios about the outcome of the 2024 election. In one of them, President Joe Biden is reelected, and Democrats flip the U.S. House of Representatives but lose their U.S. Senate majority.In that scenario, Biden, during a second term, could have a hard time getting his nominees confirmed — especially if the Senate ends up with hardline GOP leadership that is even to the right of Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky), who is stepping down as Senate minority leader in November but plans to serve out the rest of his term.Democratic strategists have reportedly given up on holding a U.S. Senate seat in deep red West Virginia, wher

President Joe Biden made rare, unscheduled remarks from the White House Thursday morning, denouncing the recent violent protests on college campuses, and telling Americans there is “no place” for antisemitism anywhere across the nation. He also denounced “hate speech” and “racism,” while declaring his support for the right to peacefully protest.“There should be no place on any campus, no place in America for antisemitism or threats of violence against Jewish students,” President Biden declared. “There is no place for hate speech, or violence of any kind, whether it’s antisemitism, Islamophobia, or discrimination against Arab Americans or Palestinian Americans. It’s simply wrong. There’s no place for racism in America. It’s all wrong. It’s un-American.”“Violent protest is not protected,” Bide

When Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colorado) joined Reps. James Comer (R-Kentucky), Byron Donalds (R-Florida) and Anna Paulina Luna (R-Florida) on a visit to George Washington University, campus protesters had a unique chant especially for her.The Daily Beast recently reported that Boebert's visit to the campus — where students have set up an encampment to demand their school divest its endowment from corporations with business ties to Israel — prompted protesters to chant "Beetlejuice" at her. The chant is a reference to a 2023 incident in which the Colorado congresswoman was

For decades, Allen Weisselberg was a fixture at the Trump Organization. But the company's former chief financial officer is now serving his second jail sentence at Rikers Island in New York City after pleading guilty to perjury charges.Weisselberg, now 76, won't be a witness for the prosecution in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg Jr.'s hush money/falsified business records case against former President Donald Trump. But the Daily Beast's Roger Sollenberger points out that even though Weisselberg's "personal testimony may not be key" in the case, the former Trump Organization CFO "left behind a potentially priceless paper trail."In an article p

Embattled South Dakota Republican Governor Kristi Noem, under fire the past week after an excerpt from her new book revealed her boasting about shooting to death her 14-month old puppy she “hated,” has repeatedly defended her actions as proof she can do hard things that need to be done.Governor Noem, who has been considered a leading contender to become Donald Trump’s vice presidential running mate, appeared on Fox News Wednesday night and blamed the “fake news” for publishing excerpts from her book, which she has not claimed were inaccurate. She also insisted the 14-month old wirehaired pointer named Cricket was “not a puppy,” appearing to suggest that made the killing justified, a

Former Judge J. Michael Luttig has been right on just about everything he predicted coming from the Supreme Court so far, MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace said. So, she wanted to know his predictions for the decision over Donald Trump's claim of presidential immunity. Trump's 2020 election case went before the Supreme Court last week after he appealed it from the lower court. Trump claimed that due to presidential immunity, anything he did while in office could not be prosecuted. Luttig began by saying
