In the wake of the horrific attempt to shoot Donald Trump, Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen of Axios reported Monday that advisers close to the former president say he “plans to seize his moment by toning down his Trumpiness” and by “dialing up efforts to unite a tinder-box America.” Because Trump has suddenly stared death in the face, the report suggested, he has attained benevolence toward his political foes, which will manifest itself at this week’s GOP convention with a “unifying” display. As Tucker Carlson told Axios: “Getting shot changes a man.”Tell that to Trump himself. Only a few hours...

Trump’s Ugly New Post-Shooting Rant Instantly Wrecks His “Unity” Pivot

Massachusetts State

Provincetown, MA

A few hours had passed since the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, and cable news desks already seemed to be struggling for fresh insights based on the scant available facts. I briefly turned on CNN and caught former Bush staffer Scott Jennings mid-sentence, saying, “…our country will end, our democracy will end. It’s the last election will ever have. These things have consequences, okay?”At first I thought he might be referring to Trump’s repeatedly threatening that “we won’t have a country” if he doesn’t win the election—a line he falls...

In January 2022, when I was 32, I spit into a
tube for genetic testing. Rather than mail the tube off to 23andMe or another
ancestry service, I FedExed my saliva to Ambry Genetics, a company that
assesses hereditary cancer risk by looking for mutations on genes that are
associated with malignancies.I
underwent testing 20 years after my mother died of lung cancer at 49 and 18 years
after my father died of prostate cancer at 50, and after multiple medical
providers recommended that I see a genetic counselor. They were concerned not
just by my parents’ fates but by my extended family’s medical history, which is
riddled with...

Doral, FL

Donald Trump gave a particularly incoherent speech during a recent rally, as he rattled through a lengthy list of odd grievances that didn’t quite ring true, devoid of some very necessary segues. In front of a crowd of about 700 people (although Trump claimed it was 45,000) in Doral, Florida, on Tuesday, the former president hit all of the normal beats of his campaign trail speeches, and then some. Trump attacked President Joe Biden for his weak performance in the presidential debate last month, and for many of his policies. He dropped Kamala Harris’s name more than a few times,...

If the federal government follows through with rescheduling marijuana, the reform would free up Washington, D.C. to finally legalize adult-use cannabis sales, congressional researchers say. But the types of products that could be sold may depend on a legal interpretation of what a “tetrahydrocannabinols derivative” is. In a...

Voters in seven states will decide on ballot measures to prohibit non-citizen voting in Nov. 2024. The ballot measures would amend the states’ constitutions to provide that only a citizen rather than every citizen may vote in a state’s elections. The seven states are North Carolina, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Wisconsin. In each of these states, the Republican-controlled legislature added an amendment to the ballot.

Ten House Republicans joined most Democrats on Thursday in sinking GOP-led legislation to fund the legislative branch for fiscal 2025, throwing an embarrassing wrench in GOP leadership’s ambitious plan to pass all 12 annual funding bills by the August recess. The bill failed 205-213, with three Democrats voting in favor of it. It is the…

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...

WASHINGTON — Sen. Jacky Rosen, D-Nev., tore into Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, on Monday over remarks he made about bump stocks as the Senate grapples with whether to ban them. Vance, who is widely considered a vice presidential contender on the GOP ticket with former President Donald Trump, called efforts by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York and other Democrats to ban the devices “a huge distraction.”

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.

“It was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening,” Donald Trump wrote Sunday on Truth Social, forgetting momentarily that God did not spare Corey Comperatore, the 50-year-old volunteer firefighter shot dead while throwing himself over his family to protect them, nor James Copenhaver, 74, nor David Dutch, 57, who were critically wounded in the attack. (Both were listed Sunday in stable condition.) But given what we know about the AR-15, the style of semiautomatic rifle used in the shooting, it was neither miraculous that Trump’s would-be assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, missed Trump when firing from 150 feet away,...
