There’s never been any real love lost between Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and now we’ve got new dirt dropping. According to political insider Mark Halperin, Biden’s inner circle is sitting on a stash of damaging intel about Harris, ready to deploy if she even thinks about turning on her former boss. During Friday’s edition of his “Morning Meeting” newsletter on his 2WAY platform, Halperin dropped a not-so-subtle warning: if Harris ever turns on Biden, the former autopen president’s handlers are ready to unleash a barrage of “embarrassing” information to put her in her place. ... if Joe Biden feels...

The party is hoping to move on from its losses and look to the future — but its central figures from the last election keep stepping back into the spotlight.Former vice president Kamala Harris is promoting a book about her losing 2024 presidential campaign, leaving the door open to another White House bid in 2028 and building a group that would enable her to hit the trail for fellow Democrats in the midterms.Former president Joe Biden is set to deliver a speech in Chicago Thursday night as campaign books, congressional hearings and occasional sparring with President Donald Trump have kept...

Today, House Committee on Natural Resources Chairman Bruce Westerman (R-Ark.) and Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations Chairman Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) led a letter to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Gary Gensler and Director Haoxiang Zhu, seeking information on a proposed rule change to permit the listing of Natural Asset Companies (NACs) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

On Friday’s broadcast of “CNN News Central,” Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) stated that it’s now time for the U.S. to call for the total end of Iranian uranium enrichment “and to say that the inspections would be broader, deeper, more continuous, and that they would abandon all of their nuclear enrichment program. And that would require them opening up all of their sites to continuous monitoring, and, frankly, actions to decommission what’s left of their nuclear program.” Co-host John Berman asked, “[I]s there a red line for you in these negotiations? Is there any — in other words, if Iran...

Joe Biden looked lost at a Waffle House after his bad debate with Trump on June 27, 2024. A man in a beige suit signaled Jill Biden and helped get Joe out fast. That man was Anthony Bernal, 52 years old. He works closely with Jill Biden as her top helper and also helps the president. People now wonder if he had more power than anyone knew, especially as Joe's health got worse. A former Biden aide said Bernal had “the most power inside the White House.” A book named Original Sin said Bernal was rude, strict, and tried hard...

Once upon a time, Delaware was the Gibraltar of American corporate law. It stood for predictability, neutrality, and a kind of legal Calvinism: sober, restrained, and austere in its application of fiduciary duties. Businessmen could rest easy knowing that the rules would be applied fairly and that their decisions, if made in good faith, would be respected by courts. That Delaware is gone. In its place stands an activist legal regime, captured by a few ideological judges and hungry plaintiffs' attorneys, doling out litigation jackpots with multipliers that would make a Las Vegas pit boss blush. The epicenter of this...

CNN cut away from Joe Biden after he got in a female reporter’s face, suggested he’s not mentally stable and claimed he can “beat the hell” out of Jake Tapper. 82-year-old Biden delivered remarks at a Memorial Day Event in New Castle, Delaware, on Friday. This is the first time Biden has spoken publicly since his cancer diagnosis. Or rather, since Biden admitted he has metastatic cancer.

Democratic Delaware Gov. Matt Meyer signed a bill May 20 legalizing assisted suicide in the state, supporting deadly legislation that the previous governor had vetoed. The state’s House Bill 140 makes it legal for adults given six months or fewer to live — a prognosis that is not always accurate — to request deadly drugs from their physicians to kill themselves. The legislation had previously failed in September 2024 when the state’s then-Governor John Carney, a Catholic, vetoed it. When he vetoed it, Carney said he is “fundamentally and morally opposed to state law enabling someone, even under tragic and...

CAMDEN, Delaware (AP) — A Delaware animal shelter is trying to care for and rehome thousands of chicks that survived being left in a postal service truck for three days. Trapped in a warm enclosure, without food and water, thousands died before they were discovered. Involved parties are still awaiting answers as to how 12,000 chicks were abandoned within the truck at a Delaware mail distribution center. The United States Postal Service said in an email that it was aware of a process breakdown and was actively investigating what occurred. Pennsylvania-based Freedom Ranger Hatchery raised the chicks for their weekly...

Eighteen states sued the Trump administration Monday over its halting of permits for wind-energy projects, arguing that its actions posed an existential threat to the burgeoning industry.“This administration is devastating one of our nation’s fastest-growing sources of clean, reliable and affordable energy,” said Attorney General Letitia James of New York, which is one of the plaintiffs. She said the halt threatened “the loss of thousands of good-paying jobs and billions in investments” and was “delaying our transition away from the fossil fuels that harm our health and our planet.”The halt on federal permits for wind energy was first laid out...

U.S. drugmaker Merck (MRK.N), said on Tuesday it is investing $1 billion in a new Delaware plant to expand domestic production as it prepares to deal with President Donald Trump's tariffs. The new facility will produce biologic drugs and Keytruda, becoming Merck's first in-house U.S. site to make the blockbuster cancer treatment, the company said. Merck said last week its biggest tariff exposure is through Keytruda and it has enough U.S. inventory for this year. It estimated $200 million in additional costs for the levies implemented to date. The company expects labs at the new facility to be fully operational...

Delaware’s new Governor has dismissed Texas and Nevada's attempts to steal companies incorporated in The First State. Matt Meyer, just two months into office, has already made significant changes to the state's corporate laws, including limiting shareholders’ ability to sue company founders. The rapid changes are an attempt to stem the tide of companies leaving Delaware to incorporate in other states — dubbed 'Dexit' — but critics argue it merely makes the state friendlier to billionaires. Tesla threatened to leave the state when Tesla was sued over the hefty pay package for Elon Musk. More than 60 percent of the...

Democrat Delaware Sen. Chris Coons told CNN Monday that the “average middle American” is too dumb to identify Greenland on a world map. Coons criticized President Donald Trump’s plan to purchase Greenland from Denmark and make it U.S. territory for resource and national security purposes, arguing that the plan will not resonate with the average American because they do not even know where the island is. Trump said no options for acquiring Greenland are off the table, emphasizing that a takeover of the island is a necessity to protect the U.S. against the threat of Russia and China’s increasing influence...

Taxpayer-funded abortion is increasing at the state level as pro-abortion lawmakers work to expand abortion since the reversal of Roe v. Wade. Federally, the Hyde Amendment prohibits most taxpayer funding of abortion, allowing funding only in cases of rape, incest, or when the physician determines the pregnant mother’s life is at risk. But while the Hyde Amendment prevents most abortions from being paid for by federal tax dollars, each state can determine its own taxpayer funding for abortion. According to the pro-abortion organization KFF.org (The Kaiser Family Foundation), “There is tremendous variability in how much states reimburse for abortion services...

The nation's largest shopping mall owner said it's leaving Delaware as its state of incorporation, citing concerns of increasingly woke behavior by courts. Simon Property Group, an S&P 500 company valued at $60 billion, last week said it could no longer rely on Delaware courts, which now allow for "meritless litigation" and "judicial interpretation without a clear statutory bias," Law.com reported. The move mirrors Elon Musk's decision last year to move multiple companies, including Tesla and SpaceX, out of Delaware. Delaware was once the gold standard for its corporate legal system. But major corporations have joined Musk in his warnings...

Senator Chris Coons✓@ChrisCoons: $300 million worth of medications are sitting on pallets about to expire thanks to Trump's effort to gut foreign aid. These drugs would've prevented people from going blind from a preventable tropical disease—Donald Trump would rather waste them in an East African warehouse.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) – A Rhode Island federal judge on Monday found the Trump administration in violation of a court order, telling the new president to “immediately restore frozen funding.” U.S. District Chief Judge John McConnell granted a “motion for enforcement” of a temporary restraining order, or TRO, he signed last month, blocking President Donald Trump’s freeze of Congress-approved funds across the country. “The states have presented evidence in this motion that the defendants in some cases have continued to improperly freeze federal funds and refused to resume disbursement of appropriated federal funds,” McConnell wrote in his decision Monday. “These...

Sen. Chris Coons says “it’s smart” to spend $20M to produce Sesame Street in Iraq. "It's a show that helps teach values, helps teach public health, helps prevent kids from dying from dysentery and disease..”
