West Palm Beach, Florida — Former President Donald Trump Friday night celebrated his 78th birthday in a packed Palm Beach Convention Center filled with supporters — including Republican Sen. Marco Rubio — while he continued his familiar attack lines on President Biden regarding immigration and foreign policy. "Under my leadership, we had no wars," Trump declared. "Instead of a globalist warmonger in the White House, you had a peacemaker at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue." The presumptive Republican presidential nominee seized on the arrests this week of eight Tajik nationals accused of having links to ISIS. Prior to their arrests, the men had crossed...

New York – As Trump anticipates his sentencing on July 11th in the New York hush money case, Florida Judge Aileen Cannon made a ruling this Monday. Despite rejecting Trump’s legal team's request to dismiss several charges in the classified documents case, she conceded on a minor point. She removed a portion of the charges that referenced an uncharged allegation, but upheld the other charges.

Over 200 candidates have dropped out of France’s legislative elections in a coordinated push by multiple parties to consolidate support and keep the far right from power. Left-wing parties and the centrist bloc of President Emmanuel Macron are withdrawing candidates from three- and four-way contests to ensure the remaining challenger to the far right in each constituency has the best chance of winning in the second round of polling on Sunday.

“[I]nvoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God,” the Constitution of the Confederate States of America composed by southern slaveholders in 1861 sought to “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” The authors of Project 2025, the latest playbook for restructuring the federal government in order to accomplish the policy goals of Christian Nationalists, similarly declare their manifesto will “decide America’s future” by securing their “God-given individual rights to live freely” and exercise dominion over others.

The idea has hovered around the fringes of American politics for months: Joe Biden, 81, won’t really be his party’s nominee. It’s the sort of thing Republican candidates tossed out at rallies and on podcasts, at first as a warning to their own party not to renominate an aging former president, and then as part of the broad implication the Democratic Party is a kind of rigged system of its own.
