The man who officials say tried to assassinate former President Donald Trump was a registered member of the Republican Party. Thomas Matthew Crooks shot Trump in the ear while speaking at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday. The 20-year-old gunman also fatally shot a rally attendee. Crooks used a rifle while perched on a roof more than 100 yards from where Trump was speaking.

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...

A lot happened during Trump's campaign rally in Florida on Tuesday, as the former president not only teased about the possibility that Marco Rubio will be his running mate, but also rode the wave of infighting within the Democratic party as some members urge President Biden to reconsider his reelection bid.

Pro-Trump CNN analyst Scott Jennings was taken aback by ex-Biden spox-turned-CNNer Kate Bedingfield’s hard shot at ex-President Donald Trump during debate coverage. We all know how CNN’s debate Thursday night turned out now: deadly stumbles from Biden set the tone for debate coverage — though his performance improved as the debate went on. Brutal quotes from some Democrats and calls for Biden to drop out from his supporters in the media ensued, while Trump was roundly criticized for spewing a blizzard of falsehoods.

Senior Democrats, led by the Biden administration, have for years broadcast endless confidence in their party’s ability to achieve the by now virtually impossible task of keeping global temperatures from rising by more than 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit). Some of those same people have now reportedly resigned themselves to Donald Trump’s reelection, which should cast some doubt on the first claim.The Biden administration, many contend, has accomplished more than any president since Lyndon Johnson, raking up wins like the Inflation Reduction Act and historically low levels of unemployment. That shouldn’t be seen as a case for the Democratic...

Donald Trump’s press secretary Karoline Leavitt got dissed and dismissed during an interview on CNN Monday, and the former president’s allies are up in arms. Leavitt was speaking with CNN’s Kasie Hunt when she began criticizing the network, which will host the first Biden-Trump presidential debate on Thursday, June 27. Leavitt praised her boss for “knowingly going into a hostile environment on this very network, on CNN, with debate moderators who have made their opinions about him very well known over the past eight years.” Hunt recoiled as her interviewee casually called CNN’s coverage “biased.”“So I’ll just say my colleagues, Jake Tapper and...

Donald Trump is sometimes euphemistically described as “transactional” when in fact the correct word is “corrupt.” Nowhere is this truer than with his efforts to woo the plutocratic class with veiled threats and something akin to naked solicitations of bribes. In recent days, Trump has urged Big Oil executives to raise $1 billion for him while dangling specific deregulatory promises he’ll enact if reelected president. He reminded a roomful of top donors that it’s in their interests to cut him large checks, because he will keep their taxes low. As The Washington Post delicately reported, Trump “frequently” makes such solicitations...

“[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.
