I just thought this would be a great role for this time in my life,” Vuleta-Jensen said. “This is me going back into the workforce and one of the hardest times going...

Attorney and anti-Trump Republican George Conway said on Sunday on MSNBC’s “The Katie Phang Show” that a 2024 GOP presidential primary between former President Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis would be “the mud fest to end all mud fests,” adding that he doesn’t believe the governor will run. “The way you go after Trump is to go after him hammer and tong, and Trump is going to go right back,” Conway said while discussing a potential GOP primary match-up.

Another day, another embarrassing display by a very old President. It's obvious someone had written down for Biden who he was supposed to call on from the Press Corps during a presser he did after attending the ASEAN Conference in Cambodia and ahead of attending the G20 Summit in Bali, Indonesia. To have this kind of display on the world stage . . .

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said Monday on CNN’s “This Morning” that he was meeting with Senat Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) in the wake of midterm election results to convince Republican senators to ditch so-called “MAGA Republicans.” Co-host Kaitlan Collins said, “Are you going to talk to Mitch McConnell? What does that look like?” Schumer said, “I’m going to say to the Republicans in the Senate who are not the MAGA Republicans, stop letting them lead your party. Work with us to get things done. I intend to sit down with Mitch McConnell and express that.”

Former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama are hosting back-to-back conferences about disinformation in the days following Donald Trump's 'big announcement.' Bush, 76, will host his The Struggle for Freedom conference in Dallas on November 16, while Obama's democracy conference will be held in New York City on the 17th. Trump's big announcement - largely rumored to be his 2024 presidential campaign announcement - is set for Tuesday. Organizers said the conferences were not planned together, but will focus on the rising threats from authoritarianism and disinformation.

Biden delivered remarks after his bilateral meeting with China’s Xi Jinping. Then he took questions from a preapproved list of reporters: “I’m happy to take questions and I’m told there will be four questioners.” Republicans may retake the House of Representatives after a lack-luster performance in the 2022 midterm elections so Biden prepared the Gen Zers for another let down. “I don’t think there’s enough votes to codify [Roe] unless something happens unusual in the House,” Biden said. Democrat voters got played again! Biden promised Gen Z he was going to give them a student bailout and codify Roe v...

The 2022 election is the second election showing hapless Republicans just what happens when they fail to clean up the voter rolls. Voter rolls in every state are fraught with fake people – multiple people with the same name and age, dead people, voters who moved 5 years ago but are still on the rolls, people voting from U.P.S. boxes. The future is at hand – and the Republicans need to get on board and make Job #1 the clean up of the voter rolls. There were 4 states in 2022 where there was a counter narrative: Ohio, Florida, Texas...

Election defeats naturally create circular firing squads, but the last few days have seen a more directed effort to put Minority Leader Mitch McConnell against a wall and shoot him at dawn. The MAGA forces in the party, eager to deflect blame from Donald Trump for the failure to take the Senate, are pointing fingers at McConnell. Trump himself wrote on his Truth Social network, “It’s Mitch McConnell’s fault.” Meanwhile, there is agitation in the caucus to delay this week’s scheduled leadership vote in the hopes that some viable alternative to McConnell will emerge. There are legitimate criticisms of McConnell,...
