Attorney Joel Sheppard will publicly reveal new details from his clients, two women who allege participation in multiple “sex parties” with Matt Gaetz, involving drug use and potential underage sex. These claims, already presented to the House Ethics Committee, detail alleged events occurring during Gaetz’s first term. While the Department of Justice declined to press charges against Gaetz, the House Ethics Committee investigated similar allegations before Gaetz’s recent resignation. Sheppard aims to pressure the committee to release its now-completed report, amidst GOP debate regarding its disclosure and potential impact on Gaetz’s confirmation as attorney general.

Donald Trump’s nomination of Congressman Matt Gaetz for Attorney General is a blatant attempt to weaponize the Department of Justice, prioritizing vengeance over justice. This choice, shocking in its disregard for legal and ethical standards, reflects a desire to punish those who investigated Trump and Gaetz, effectively turning the DOJ into a tool for settling personal scores. Gaetz, himself under investigation for serious misconduct, lacks the qualifications and temperament for this position. This nomination, if confirmed, would fundamentally alter the DOJ, eroding its integrity and independence by purging career staff and replacing them with loyalists. This would have devastating consequences for the nation’s legal system, potentially leading to politically motivated prosecutions and a further erosion of trust in the government.

Donald Trump’s reelection is a victory for white supremacy, xenophobia, and hate. This isn’t about a few bad apples; it’s about the acceptance of a toxic ideology that permeates the core of the Republican Party.
Trump ran on a platform built on lies, hate, and revenge. He explicitly embraced fascist tendencies, and his supporters, despite claims of innocence, are complicit in his actions. The GOP platform is built on a foundation of division, exploiting fears about immigration, transgender rights, and critical race theory to rally support. They label their opponents as “woke” and accuse them of trying to indoctrinate children with critical race theory while simultaneously pushing their own hateful agenda.… Continue reading
Rep. Jim Jordan, a key figure in the effort to overturn the 2020 election results, has acknowledged the 2024 election was free and fair, a stark contrast to his previous pronouncements. While he cited concerns about mail-in voting in 2020, particularly in Pennsylvania, he failed to address why these concerns were absent this year when his preferred candidate won. This shift in rhetoric raises questions about the legitimacy of his 2020 claims and the impact of his actions on the integrity of the election process. Despite Jordan’s assertions of widespread fraud in 2020, no evidence of such irregularities has ever surfaced.

Despite positive economic indicators, President Biden lost re-election to Donald Trump. This unexpected outcome was due to a perception gap, where public sentiment about the economy remained negative despite real improvements. Contributing factors included the lingering effects of pandemic-related relief, the perception that Trump solely delivered economic relief checks, and the success of Trump’s messaging blaming Biden for economic woes. Furthermore, sexism likely played a role in Vice President Harris’s loss, as she was unfairly judged and marginalized compared to Trump. Moving forward, Democrats must actively combat this narrative by highlighting Biden and Harris’s economic achievements and emphasizing Trump’s potential economic failures, setting the stage for future electoral success.

Donald Trump, the former US president, seemed to forget what state he was in during a rally speech in Kinston, North Carolina. He discussed his hopeful ousting of Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell, making light of McConnell’s previous endorsement of him. Trump proceeded to laud “great Republicans,” erroneously referencing David McCormick, a Senate candidate running in Pennsylvania, to a North Carolina crowd. This mistake seemed to stem from the fact that Trump had been in Pennsylvania earlier in the day.

Former president Donald Trump responded to a surprising poll from the Des Moines Register that indicated favor was swinging towards Kamala Harris in Iowa, a state that was previously 18 points in Trump’s favour. Trump accused the pollster of being biased against him and urged the state’s farmers to support him. This recent poll aligns with reportedly bleak internal polls for Trump and ongoing trends predicting key swing-state races favouring Democrats. GOP strategist Margaret Hoover believes these internal polls are a cause for concern for Trump’s campaign. Democrats are apparently in a strong position to take on incumbents, according to Race to the WH founder Logan Phillips.

Puerto Rico’s GOP chair, who has announced a threat to withhold support for Trump unless he issues an apology regarding his past comments about the island, has provoked a mixed bag of reactions from me. On one hand, I can appreciate the sentiment. The audacity of Trump’s disrespect toward Puerto Rican people is undeniable. Since 2017, he has demonstrated a blatant disregard for the hardship faced by Puerto Ricans, particularly during the aftermath of Hurricane Maria. To now have a prominent member of the GOP state that they might not support him unless he acknowledges this only makes me roll my eyes—there’s so much irony steeped in these sentiments.… Continue reading

It’s concerning to see how deep the descent into madness has become in American politics. The fact that a congressman like Mike Johnson can brush off Trump’s bizarre praise for another man’s genitalia as ‘fun’ is beyond comprehension. This level of immaturity and lack of decorum is not something that should be associated with the highest offices in the country.
The GOP’s willingness to defend and normalize such behavior is alarming. It’s a clear indicator of the warped priorities and moral decay within the party. Instead of focusing on real issues and policies that affect the American people, they choose to engage in juvenile banter and absurd distractions.… Continue reading
