Asked about a long-ago Saturday night when he arrested a man called Tim Walz for drunken driving, Nebraska State Trooper Stephen Rasgorshek cited an axiom he formulated while making more than 1,000 such busts on the roads of  Nebraska.“One of the things I've always said is, anyone can get a DUI. It’s what you do with it after you get the DUI,” Rasgorshek told The Daily Beast on Monday. “If he had stuck with his story of, ‘Look, it changed my life and I stopped drinking,’ I would commend him, 1,000 percent.”But what happened that night—and the very different...

A pro-Donald Trump super PAC has vowed to spend $100 million in TV advertising over the next three weeks, a sign of recalibration in strategy after Vice President Kamala Harris’ entrance into the race. MAGA Inc. announced the plan in a memo addressed to “Interested Parties” and obtained by Politico on Monday. The group’s ads will focus on Harris’ immigration record and her time as San Francisco’s district attorney, framing her as a “soft-on-crime radical who is too dangerous for the White House,” according to the memo. “Americans might vote for a liberal, but they won’t vote for a lunatic.” According to Politico, the ads will air in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina—seven key states likely to influence the outcome of the election. The advertising blitz will coincide with the Democratic National Convention, set to run between Aug. 19 and Aug. 22 in Chicago, Illinois. In June, it was reported that MAGA Inc. had told supporters of plans for a similar $100-million summer ad spend in key battleground states after raising $70 million the previous month.Read it at PoliticoRead more at The Daily Beast.

Donald Trump returned to X (formerly Twitter) ahead of a one-on-one interview with Elon Musk Monday. But rather than elevate that, or attack his current opponent’s policies, one of Trump’s first ads directed at his 88.1 million followers on the platform appeared to narrowly focus on President Joe Biden.The roughly two-minute video—captioned “TRUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING!”—attempted to frame Trump as a candidate primed for election since 1987, when he was still a major New York City developer. “In the ads, he says there’s nothing wrong with American foreign policy that a little backbone won’t cure,” a dated broadcaster can...
