Former President Donald Trump falsely accused Vice President Kamala Harris of wanting to create a "communist system" in which "everybody gets health care." During his press conference at his golf club in Bedminister, New Jersey, the GOP presidential candidate warned against what he described as the dangers of his opponent. A Harris’ spokesperson told NBC News “The VP will not push single payer as president.”

This week marks two years since Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act, arguably the Biden administration’s signature legislative achievement. So how’s it doing? A lot better than recent headlines would have you believe. As the November election draws nearer, however, Vice President Kamala Harris and her team will have to confront some lingering questions about the policy’s strengths and weaknesses. On Monday, the Financial Times published an investigation finding that 40 percent of the largest manufacturing announcements made since Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act and CHIPS and Science Act—which together invested some $400 trillion in building up domestic clean energy...

Has Donald Trump offered to cut your taxes yet? If he hasn’t, count yourself insulted. In April Trump promised favorable tax and regulatory treatment to the oil and gas industry, provided it would contribute $1 billion to his campaign. Trump actually called this a “deal,” tempting a Teapot Dome–style bribery prosecution. Rather naïvely, I thought Trump’s blatancy would scare off potential contributors. Instead, over the next three months Trump nearly doubled his haul from this industry sector.Trump followed up this stunt by telling a rally in Palm Beach, tent-revival style, that anybody who cut the Republican Party a $1 million check could come onstage and speak (whereupon two...

President Joe Biden was not aware of the latest revelations involving his son Hunter Biden, the White House said Wednesday. “The president has never done business with his son,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said. “He was not aware of this. For anything further, I would have to refer you to Hunter Biden’s personal […]

J.D. Vance’s views on gender and parenting have come back to haunt him, again.In 2020, long before he entered politics, Vance appeared on a podcast where the host said that having grandmothers help raise children is “the whole purpose of the postmenopausal female.”Vance agreed—and that wasn’t all of what was discussed on the episode. The host also said that grandparents helping to raise children is a “weird, unadvertised feature of marrying an Indian woman,” and Vance again agreed, recounting how his mother-in-law, a biology professor in California, took a sabbatical from her job to help look after his newborn son.“Painfully...

The video has since gone viral, prompting widespread concern and leading to the removal of the listing from Airbnb's platform.

Wednesday’s inflation report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics makes it virtually certain that in mid-September the Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Markets Committee will lower interest rates at its final meeting before Election Day. This news will unavoidably make Donald Trump very unhappy. “Quit whining,” Nikki Haley advised Trump this week on CNN, and, yes, Trump has an enlarged capacity for self-pity. But put yourself in the man’s bone-spur-widened shoes. It’s not yet five weeks since some whack job tried to kill you, enabling you to wave the bloody shirt (“Many people say it was a providential moment; probably was”)...

On Tuesday, licensed Ohio dispensaries began legally selling non-medical marijuana to consumers; however, the drug’s possession, growth and/or usage are still prohibited on Ohio State’s campus.

Former President Donald Trump suggests President Joe Biden might attempt to reclaim the Democratic nomination from Kamala Harris at the upcoming DNC.

'Crooked' Joe Biden May Attempt 'Taking Back Nomination' From Kamala Harris At DNC, Donald Trump Claims

Former President Donald Trump has voiced his opposition to invoking the 25th Amendment to remove President Joe Biden from office, warning that Vice President Kamala Harris would be a "more dangerous" leader. Trump's comments came during a Thursday morning appearance on "Fox & Friends," where he expressed his belief that Harris is "worse than he is" and described her as "real garbage."

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...

Trump Appears to Have Forgotten Who He’s Running Against in New Ad

“In the modern imagination,” Professor Lewis Gordon wrote in 2023, paraphrasing philosopher Frantz Fanon, “reason takes flight whenever the Black enters the scene.” Indeed, from the moment the Democratic Party coalesced around Vice President Kamala Harris as its nominee, ushering in the prospect of America’s first Black Madam President, reason has taken flight.“Apparently, they feel, or a lot of Democrats feel, they have to stick with her because of her ethnic background,” Republican Representative Glenn Grothman said on the day President Biden ended his reelection campaign. Two of his House GOP colleagues, Tim Burchett and Harriett Hageman, both denigrated Harris...

Earlier this year, southern Arizona was staring down a crisis—“homelessness on steroids,” as Pima County’s top official described it. Federal funding for the state’s migrant shelters was about to run dry as near-record numbers of migrants were entering the state from Mexico. Diego Piña Lopez, then the executive director of one of the state’s largest shelter operators, was among the leading voices warning in local and national media about the dire local consequences of the budget fight in Washington.“I think that’s going to lead to a lot of chaos, and a lot more cost across the board for folks to...

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

Donald Trump’s campaign just rolled out a new multimillion-dollar ad campaign that blasts Kamala Harris on immigration. Oddly, it does so in part by mocking her dancing. That might seem like typical MAGA buffoonery. But underlying the link that the ad draws between Harris’s dancing and her handling of immigration is a bigger argument that demands a serious Democratic response. We talked to Douglas Rivlin, a senior official at the advocacy group America’s Voice who has deep experience on the immigration issue, about the darker subtext of Trump’s messaging—and how to counter it. Listen to this episode here.

Kamala Harris will deliver a speech Friday laying out her economic policy, and a lot of it will be about corporate price gouging. The focus, reportedly, will be on groceries, which theoretically offers some opportunity to discuss the Federal Trade Commission’s challenge to a proposed merger between the Kroger and Albertson’s supermarket chains—except the FTC’s antitrust action is about economic concentration lowering wages, not raising prices. A better example of price gouging and how to curb it is the Biden administration’s war on drug prices.Spotlighting drug-price reductions is also more timely because on Thursday the White House announced Medicare’s first-ever...
