President Biden’s fiery speech in Philadelphia denouncing former President Donald Trump and what he described as “extreme MAGA ideology” has sparked online calls for violence, including death threats against the president, according to documents obtained by Yahoo News. Biden’s remarks also prompted immediate concerns from senior counterterrorism officials who said they fear that calling Trump supporters extremists would be viewed as a call to arms and would only inflame an already Source link

Donald Trump has assailed the government’s official economic data this summer by calling it “phony” or “fake news.” He likes to say the “actual” number for jobs statistics or the inflation rate would be much more flattering to him — and would look worse for President Joe Biden. It’s a return to form for the former president who called the unemployment rate “total fiction” during his 2016 campaign before flipping and touting that same data once he was in office. This time… Source link

President Donald Trump will be deposed today as part of the New York attorney general’s civil investigation into his business practices after he spent months trying to delay the questioning, according to multiple news reports. Trump posted about the deposition on his social media site, Truth Social. “Seeing racist N.Y.S. Attorney General tomorrow, for a continuation of the greatest Witch Hunt in U.S. history!” he wrote. That office is looking into whether Trump and his children lied about the… Source link

The former chief of the Justice Department’s national security division said Tuesday that the FBI warrant for the search of Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Fla., suggests prosecutors believe they have probable cause that there may have been violations of the World War I-era Espionage Act. That law has traditionally been used to target government leakers, such as former NSA contractor Edward Snowden. But it also “actually has provisions that apply to essentially the… Source link

Donald Trump’s widely expected 2024 campaign — which he could formally announce as early as this year — appears likely to focus on upending Washington’s bureaucracy. The former president and his allies would put thousands of government employees in their sights who are traditionally insulated from politics. On Tuesday, during a summit in Washington, Trump and his top political allies sketched out an economic component of their attacks on bureaucracy, targeting an old GOP villain:… Source link

After responding to a call about a woman in cardiac arrest, paramedics discovered the 73-year-old at the bottom of staircase at her home on New York’s Upper East Side, and she died on… Source link

CASPER, Wyo. — Few in Wyoming seem all that confident predicting what will happen in Liz Cheney’s primary election, even though the general consensus is that she faces an uphill battle to retain her seat in Congress. Only a few polls have been released, and they’ve shown Cheney down by large margins. Most Wyoming political insiders say it’s hard to poll the state, especially when it’s hard to know how many voters will turn out and who they will be. But they also agree that even if… Source link

In an incredible display of utter tastelessness, Donald Trump Jr. insisted in a rage-fueled video on social media Saturday that the Uvalde mass shooter could have killed 19 children and two teachers with a “bat.” Assault rifles are being stigmatized when “screwed up people” are the real issue, he railed in a Facebook video. The red-faced, nearly teary-eyed Trump Jr. shouted that the shooter was a “sociopath” who could wreak the same havoc with nearly any other weapon. “It’s the… Source link

A new Yahoo News/YouGov poll shows that more than 6 in 10 Donald Trump voters (61%) agree that “a group of people in this country are trying to replace native-born Americans with immigrants and people of color who share their political views” — a core tenet of the false conspiracy theory known as the “great replacement.” Less than a quarter of Trump voters (22%) disagree with that statement. So-called replacement theory has been covered extensively in the days following the May 14… Source link

Like a crazy old man who spends his days shouting at an empty blender and thinks the government is performing mind control on people through their microwaves, Donald Trump apparently believes that the reason his newly formed social media company, Truth Social, is not a runaway success is because Google has internally decided to sabotage him. “Is Google trying to fuck me?” the former president has reportedly been asking friends and advisers over the past several weeks. According to… Source link
