The Democratic National Committee is moving ahead with its plan to nominate Joe Biden ahead of Democratic National Convention in Chicago next month—and not everyone is happy about it. Over the past week, Democrats have fought over the possibility and timeline of a virtual nomination of Biden ahead of the convention, accusing party insiders of trying to “fast-track” a roll-call vote. It seems as though the Democratic National Committee is sticking to its plan to proceed with a virtual roll call for the nomination, but will operate on a slower timeline than some members of the party feared. The committee...

DNC Moves Forward With Rushing Biden Nomination Despite Outrage

Donald Trump shocked nobody on Monday when he announced J.D. Vance as his running mate. All signs had been pointing toward the Ohio senator in recent weeks, and it’s hardly surprising that he would choose a sycophant and relative neophyte to share the stage with at this week’s Republican convention. Yet the decision does in fact represent a serious departure for Trump, one that ought to raise more concerns about his plans for a potential second term as president.Trump has a singular obsession in life, and that’s to win—at all costs, by any means. If he has to cheat, like...

The Scary Message Trump Sent by Choosing J.D. Vance

Now that Ohio Senator J.D. Vance is Donald Trump’s running mate, everyone is combing through his old quotes, and a striking one has surfaced: In 2016, Vance warned that Trump threatened to take the white working class to a “very dark place.” In short, Vance once understood that MAGA ideology, at its core, is really, really toxic. And that’s a big political vulnerability. We talked to Sarah Longwell, the pollster and prominent Never Trumper, about how the Vance pick will showcase the worst aspects of MAGA throughout this race and how Democrats can try to use that to win swing voters. Listen to this episode here.

Yesterday was the third time this year that an ad stating Chelsea Clinton lives in a beautiful Virginia home popped up on my laptop. My computer did not warn me this was a dangerous site, so this time, I clicked on the link.

When Senator Mitch McConnell walked out on stage Monday at the Republican National Convention to nominate Donald Trump for president, he instantly got showered with a host of boos. The jeers inside the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee were clearly audible as McConnell read out Kentucky’s delegate vote in favor of Donald Trump with a very small smile.Mitch McConnell gets booed at the RNC pic.twitter.com/6bZA4CcLb7— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) July 15, 2024Did McConnell expect a more favorable response?

Elon Musk plans to donate $45 million per month to the nascent pro-Trump America PAC, The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday. The super PAC, formed in May, has already received millions in donations from tech giants and Musk orbiters using their fortunes to influence the democratic process in Trump’s favor in 2024. The Wall Street Journal reported that the PAC “had $8.75 million in contributions for the three-month period ending on June 30,” including from former Tesla board member Antonio Gracias, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, and Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale.While Musk had not donated to America PAC as of...

Elon Musk’s Shocking Plan to Swing the 2024 Race for Trump

Doral, FL

In recent days, Donald Trump has angrily claimed he knows nothing about Project 2025, the blueprint his allies are drawing up for an authoritarian second-term presidency. But CNN is now reporting that at least 140 people from the Trump administration have a hand in the Project 2025 plan. And NBC News has unearthed video showing that Trump expressly praised the plan’s creators for their work in 2022. We talked to Amanda Becker—a reporter for The 19th News and author of a forthcoming piece on Project 2025’s minutiae—who explains why Trump keeps running from Project 2025 and what its darker designs really have in store for us. Listen to this episode here.

Trump’s Sleazy New Project 2025 Disavowal Scam Blows Up in His Face

A Fox News analyst said people would question why exactly Donald Trump had picked J.D. Vance as his running mate, considering his lack of experience and former status as a Never Trump Republican. Vance has talked his fair share of smack about the former president, saying Trump could be “America’s Hitler,” accused him of committing serial sexual assault, and calling him “one of USA’s most hated, villainous, douchey celebs.” But as Trump has amassed more power in the run-up to November, it seems that Vance has finally changed his tune. To many, though, it’s unclear why Trump would want to work...

Trump Chose J.D. Vance Because He “Sucked Up Effectively”

The worst of Donald Trump’s first term was felt by immigrants. Looking over the 2024 Republican platform, which was more or less dictated by Trump and his team (down to its Weird use of Capital Letters), I can state with confidence that the worst of Trump’s second term, if there is one, will once again be felt by immigrants. That is, I’m sorry to report, a selling point for many voters; according to Gallup, fully 41 percent of the population wants immigration to decrease, against 26 percent who want it to increase and 31 percent who want it to stay...

CALIFORNIA – Starting July 1, landlords will only be allowed to collect one month’s rent for the security deposit on a rental property. Assembly Bill 12, signed into law last October, says regardless of whether the residential property is unfurnished or furnished, only one month’s rent can be charged in addition to any rent for the first month paid on or before initial occupancy.

With an assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024, the U.S. experienced another violent episode in its increasingly polarized politics. Former President Trump, who’s about to formally become the GOP nominee for president in the 2024 election, survived the attempted assassination when, initial reports said, a bullet grazed his ear . But one rally attendee was killed , more spectators were injured and the suspected gunman is also dead. The Conversation’s politics editor, Naomi Schalit, spoke with University of Massachusetts, Lowell, scholar Arie Perliger after the event. Perliger offered insight from his study of political violence and assassinations. Given the stark political polarization in the U.S., Perliger said, “it’s not a surprise that eventually people engage in violence.”

‘One Inch from a Potential Civil War’? Trump Shooting a Close Call for American Democracy

As dawn breaks on Lara Trump’s Republican National Convention, not every GOP lawmaker is feeling entirely confident in Donald Trump’s ability not to alienate voters. Before the assassination attempt against Trump Saturday, Raw Story asked several Republican lawmakers what they were hoping to get from the convention this week. In many ways, their milquetoast answers stood in sharp contrast to the chaotic candidate they’ve come to back. “Stability. Simple message. Lack of drama,” Representative Don Bacon told Raw Story.“You know, people want stability. They’re tired of chaos and the loud noises on both sides. So if our side and President...

Fearing “Chaos,” Republicans Dread Trump’s RNC Performance

Regular cable news viewers will know that Lincoln Project consultant Stuart Stevens has been steadfast in arguing that the Democrats should stick with the president. Regular TNR readers will know that most of our columns have argued otherwise. Here, Michael Tomasky asks Stevens to make the case. “I’m just hard-wired that in a campaign, you’re going to have incredibly difficult moments,” Stevens said. “The instinct shouldn’t be to run for the lifeboats. You fix it.” Watch to see what Stevens thinks the Democrats need to emphasize to win, and what he and the Lincoln Project are doing between now and November.

“You Fix It”: Stuart Stevens on Sticking With Joe Biden

Former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley appeared at the Republican National Convention as part of Donald Trump’s new, feigned bid for unity, and was predictably booed by his base. As Haley was introduced to the stage Tuesday night, loud boos could be heard among the crowd. Some booing reportedly continued throughout the speech. So much for unity, then. Haley said that Trump had asked her to speak “in the name of unity,” and she offered her “strong endorsement” of the Republican nominee.“You don’t have to agree with Trump 100 percent of the time to vote for him. Take it from...

Nikki Haley Completes Her Utter Humiliation With RNC Appearance

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has a strong message for any Democrats in Congress who have “resigned” themselves to a Donald Trump victory: Retire.A Sunday report in Axios about Democrats discussing Joe Biden’s prospects following Saturday’s assassination attempt against Trump included an anonymous quote from a senior House Democrat: “We’ve all resigned ourselves to a second Trump presidency.”Ocasio-Cortez’s response on X (formerly Twitter) got right to the point. “If you’re a ‘senior Democrat’ that feels this way, you should absolutely retire and make space for true leadership that refuses to resign themselves to fascism,” she said. “This kind of leadership is functionally...

AOC Rips Into House Democrat Over Anonymous Doomsday Quote

Donald Trump’s MAGA followers have become even more sycophantic in the wake of his attempted assassination, with at least one Republican lawmaker outright comparing the convicted felon to Jesus.During a livestream on Sunday, Representative Lauren Boebert directly compared Trump to Christ on the basis that both had been “canceled,” and her belief that their personal sacrifices “for the people” were identical.“This censorship, the silencing of those who speak the truth, is nothing new. Cancel culture is nothing new. You cannot cancel who God has called,” Boebert said. “They tried to cancel Jesus. You can’t cancel God.“Jesus laid down his own...

Lauren Boebert Says Trump Shooting Proves He’s Like Jesus

Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the classified documents case against Donald Trump on Monday, ruling that special counsel Jack Smith’s appointment to the case was unconstitutional. In a 93-page decision, Cannon argued that Smith’s appointment had overstepped Congress’s authority, violating the appointments clause of the Constitution. “The Special Counsel’s position effectively usurps that important legislative authority, transferring it to a Head of Department, and in the process threatening the structural liberty inherent in the separation of powers,” Cannon wrote, noting that a valid pathway to appoint Smith to the case is and was on the table.“Congress can authorize his appointment through...

Judge Cannon Sets Fire to Trump’s Entire Classified Documents Case

The attempt on Donald Trump’s life is obviously a horrendous development. It seems unique because he’s a presidential candidate and one of the most famous people in the world. But in many ways, it’s not. Threats of political violence have increased dramatically in the United States, and support for political violence has risen recently by shocking levels.As I write these words, we don’t know what motivated 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks to try to assassinate Trump. All that’s known as of Sunday morning is that he was apparently a registered Republican, but he donated $15 to a progressive voter-turnout group in...

The Trump Shooting: The Most Shocking Act of a Shockingly Violent Age

This year is being touted as an unprecedented year of
elections with consequences across the globe. Hundreds of millions have voted
from India to Indonesia to Mexico. This past month it was the turn of two of
America’s most significant European allies, the U.K. and France, the two Western
states that sit alongside the United States as permanent members of the U.N. Security Council. In November, of course, it is America’s turn. Drawing inferences across political spaces that have their
own political cultures, electoral peculiarities, granular public concerns, and
personalities can be wading in hazardous waters. But a wave has been washing
over the Western democratic political expanse...

The Aurora City Council shut out the voices Monday of dozens of residents who came to the City Council meeting to decry the police shooting of a Black man. For three weeks, supporters of Kilyn Lewis have attended Aurora City Council meetings. They have become unruly at times and caused the mayor to call recesses several times to restore order.

Asked if Joe Biden was the Democratic Party’s most effective messenger following his disastrous performance in Thursday night’s debate, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries sidestepped the question—and appeared to suggest an openness to replacing the president as the party’s nominee. “President Biden is scheduled to speak today around noon, as I understand it, in North Carolina,” Jeffries told AP reporter Farnoush Amiri Friday morning. “I’m looking forward to hearing from President Biden. And until he articulates a way forward in terms of his vision for America at this moment, I’m going to reserve comment about anything relative to where we are at this...
