America vowed to never forget 9/11, but we never said anything about the first responders and soldiers we sent to clean it up.
That disappointing truth has been a thorn in Jon Stewart’s side in the nearly 23 years since the tragic terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001 unified the country against an enemy that we wouldn’t manage to identify until the following month with the invasion of Afghanistan. From there, the War on Terror began in earnest and America focused its attention on overseas conflict while categorically ignoring the brave men and women who jumped into action on 9/11 and in the immediate days thereafter, unless there was a photo opportunity to lay wreaths on their memorials.
It took Congress 18 years to permanently secure compensation for 9/11 first responders who struggled with health complications as a result of their heroic acts on September 11th, and it took a legendary reaming by Stewart...

Republicans officially confirmed Donald Trump as their nominee for the 2024 election.
As delegates went through the roll call on the floor, Trump announced his running mate: J.D. Vance, the Ohio senator.
After Florida’s vote put Trump over the top in the 1,250 delagates needed, the sound of Celebration played through the Fiserv Forum.
This is the third time that Trump has won the GOP nomination, but a sharp contrast to the first. On the first day of the convention in 2016, there was still delegate turbulence over the rules for the convention. Days later, one of Trump’s rivals for the nomination that cycle, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-tx), gave a speech in which he told delegates to “vote their conscience” and declined to endorse his candidacy. Cruz later did, and has a speaking slot later this week at this convention.

Donald Trump, the former president of the United States and the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, was reportedly shot at during a rally.
In videos shared from the event, the billionaire politician could be seen docking as what was assumed to be gunshots were fired. Secret service could also be seen rushing to the ex-president's side and telling him to get down.
This shocking incident comes a few weeks after Donald Trump's debate with President Joe Biden and just a few months before the 2024 presidential election.

Tucker Carlson is among the celebrity names slated to speak at next week’s Republican National Convention, reportedly in a plum spot on Thursday night before Donald Trump himself accepts the party nomination.
In addition to a long list of elected officials who are backing Trump, the speaker lineup also includes celebrities like Amber Rose, the model, rapper and former stripper; Dana White, the CEO of UFC; and Savannah Chrisley, the TV personality whose parents are serving prison time for fraud and tax evasion. Also on the bill: Lee Greenwood and Chris Janson.
Notably missing from the lineup: Former First Lady Melania Trump and the former president’s daughter, Ivanka Trump. They each spoke at the 2016 and 2020 conventions.

Since Joe Biden’s face-plant in the CNN debate with Donald Trump, the sitting president has faced unyielding pressure from The New York Times, many within his own party, and top donors to step aside from the 2024 race ahead of next month’s Democratic nominating convention in Chicago.
Yet in the exact same nine-day span, Trump has been offering America a stark display of his own disqualifying temperament and mental state — behavior that’s been met with a shrug by the powers-that-be in the media and the GOP. Among other alarming behavior,...

The White House in the past week has railed against so-called “cheap fakes,” videos edited to look as if President Joe Biden has “frozen” or was wandering away at major public events, while media outlets amplifying the moments have done little to add context.
The videos include one at a D-Day ceremony earlier this month, another at a Juneteenth ceremony last week and still another the G7 summit Thursday. The latest to go viral is a video at the end of Biden’s star-filled Los Angeles re-election fundraiser over the weekend.
As the moments have spread beyond RNC Research talking points to right-wing media figures and some mainstream outlets, White House and campaign officials have pushed back at the videos as edited, cropped or missing a larger context.

Donald Trump rarely meets a microphone he doesn’t like, but today the usually volatile former president backed off being bumped off TV by Joe Biden.
More than ever this election year, it was a tale of two presidents on cable news this morning. From the G7 summit in Italy and the corridors of power in Washington D.C., respectively, Biden and Trump almost went head-to-head with competing press conferences. Almost.
“We’ll go to either of those live events, which ever one starts first,” said Fox News’ Sandra Smith as the Rupert Murdoch-owned outlet straddled the setups on screen for Biden and Trump’s potentially competing press conferences. “We set this up as a split screen because they were almost scheduled to speak at the exact same time,” Smith later added with no metaphorical irony.

Donald Trump paid a visit to Capitol Hill on Thursday in what was supposed to be a day of policy discussions and planning for a second Trump term. Instead, the former president reportedly spent a significant amount of time complaining about women.
Trump reportedly spent time complaining that superstar singer Taylor Swift had not endorsed him over President Joe Biden. “Why would she endorse this dope,” Trump wondered, per CNN. “He doesn’t know how to get off a stage.”
Swift has not endorsed Biden, although she has been critical of Trump in the past.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will address a joint meeting of Congress on July 24, Republican congressional leaders announced Thursday night.
House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said in a statement that the “bipartisan, bicameral meeting symbolizes the U.S. and Israel’s enduring relationship and will offer Prime Minister Netanyahu the opportunity to share the Israeli government’s vision for defending their democracy, combatting terror, and establishing just and lasting peace in the region.”
House and Senate Leaders invited Netanyahu to talk about the state of things in the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Initially, reports indicated Netanyahu would make his address on June 13. But the proposed date conflicted with a Jewish holiday.

Controversial conservative commentator Tucker Carlson’s show will now regularly air on Russia’s state-run television channel, Rossiya 24, despite the anchor’s claim he is not involved.
Dean Thompson, the head of programming and production at the Tucker Carlson Network, asserted, “Any use of our content on that channel is without legal permission.”
Carlson’s show, known for conspiracy theories and pro-Russian rhetoric, has long been a source of concern, and his claims have ranged in idiocy from suggestions that Lyme disease is a bioweapon targeting the poor to downplaying Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as a mere “border dispute.”
Carlson’s affinity for Russian President Vladimir Putin is no secret, and earlier this year, he traveled to Moscow for a widely criticized interview with the Russian leader, which was seen as a softball session. Despite Putin’s subsequent mockery of Carlson, the conservative has defended the Russian dictator’s actions.

Former Georgia Republican Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan said he would vote for President Joe Biden instead of former President Donald Trump in the 2024 election.
Duncan explained his decision in an op-ed he wrote for The Atlanta-Journal Constitution titled, “Geoff Duncan: Why I’m voting for Biden and other Republicans should, too.”
In his op-ed, he stated how it was “disappointing to watch an increasing number of Republicans fall in line behind former president Donald Trump,” including “some of his fiercest detractors.”
He mentioned detractors such as “U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu and former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr, who raised eyebrows during a recent interview by vowing to support the Republican ticket.”
“Yes, elections are a binary choice,” Duncan admitted. “Yes, serious questions linger about President Biden’s ability to serve until the age of 86. His progressive policies aren’t to conservatives’ liking.

Trump has been charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. The case, brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg last year, revolves around allegations that a 2016 hush-money payment made at Trump’s direction to adult film actress Stormy Daniels violated campaign finance laws.

During a hearing this week, most of the justices on the U.S. Supreme Court appeared skeptical about offering blanket immunity to a former president, which would keep them from being prosecuted for criminal acts.
On Sunday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell reiterated that former President Donald Trump should be “held accountable” when asked about the court hearing.
On Meet the Press, host Kristin Welker asked McConnell: “Just to be clear, you said former presidents are not immune from being held accountable. Do you stand by those comments?
“That was my view, but I don’t make those decisions,” McConnell responded.
“But do you stand by those comments?” Welker pressed. “Yeah, that’s my view. But my view is my view. The court is going to decide this,” McConnell said.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell condemned former Fox News’ host Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump after senators approved a $95 million foreign aid package that would send funds to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.
Under the law, the United States will send $60 billion in support to Ukraine, $17 billion for Israel, $9 billion in humanitarian aid for Gaza and $8 billion to Taiwan.
“I think the demonization of Ukraine began by Tucker Carlson, who, in my opinion, ended up – or he should have been all along – which is interviewing Vladimir Putin,” McConnell told reporters during a news conference.
“And so, he had an enormous audience, which convinced a lot of rank-and-file Republicans that maybe this was a mistake,” he added. “I think the former president had sort of mixed reviews on it. We all felt the border was a complete disaster, myself included.”
The Senate minority leader went on to talk about the negotiation phases.

The Senate has voted to dismiss the primary articles of impeachment leveled against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
Senators voted to dismiss the charges against Mayorkas after just a few hours of contentious procedural discussion on the Senate floor, rebuking GOP efforts to make an immigration scapegoat of the secretary despite their own repeated obstruction of legislation aimed at quelling undocumented immigration at the southern border.
In a historic vote, the Senate voted 51-49 to dismiss the first article against Mayrokas, accusing him of “willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law.

Update: President Joe Biden condemned Iran’s air attack on Israel “in the strongest possible terms,” and said that he will speak with G7 leaders on Sunday to coordinate a “united diplomatic response.”
“My team will engage with their counterparts across the region. And we will stay in close touch with Israel’s leaders,” Biden said. “And while we have not seen attacks on our forces or facilities today, we will remain vigilant to all threats and will not hesitate to take all necessary action to protect our people.”
The president said that he spoke to Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “to reaffirm America’s ironclad commitment to the security of Israel. I told him that Israel demonstrated a remarkable capacity to defend against and defeat even unprecedented attacks – sending a clear message to its foes that they cannot effectively threaten the security of Israel.”
Biden also confirmed that the U.

Welcome to ElectionLine’s A View From Abroad series, in which we speak with media figures who don’t live in America but keep a close eye on its politics. Every few weeks, these smart observers will provide a unique perspective on what promises to be a fraught and unpredictable campaign for the White House. This week, our interview is with Emily Maitlis and Jon Sopel, the former BBC presenters who now host podcast The News Agents – USA.
Emily Maitlis and Jon Sopel beat the UK’s major news networks in gaining access to Mar-a-Lago on Super Tuesday. They entered Donald Trump’s Florida estate with a simple ambition to test the mood inside the ex-president’s camp, but ended up being told to “f*** off” by one of his most fanatical supporters.

Blanco County Sheriff’s Office has released details about the untimely death of Angela Chao, esteemed CEO of a shipping company and sister-in-law of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
According to a comprehensive 62-page incident report, Chao was under the influence of alcohol when she mistakenly reversed her Tesla into a lake at a Texas ranch, which ultimately led to her death.
The report provides a harrowing account of the event that transpired on February 10. After a night out with friends, Chao inadvertently drove her vehicle into the lake and became trapped inside. She contacted a friend for assistance, but as the water level in the car continued to rise, Chao bid her final farewells.
Chao’s friend remained on the call for eight minutes, while another friend paddled towards the vehicle in a kayak and a third friend swam and attempted to reach Chao by climbing onto the car’s roof.

Politics is full of colorful characters, but former President Donald Trump takes joviality to the next level. He has a habit of doling out expressive nicknames for reporters, critics, and both Democrat and Republican party members. Here are some of Trumps most lively epithets.
Lil Pardner
Donald Trump has a tendency to focus on height—he’s tall and his teen son Barron is even taller than him! Trump has pointed out his son’s amazing height several times and height factors into many of his doled out nicknames.
For example Donald has called Michael Bloomberg “Little Michael and Mini Mike Bloomberg” and he’s referred to Ron “Tiny D” Sanctimonious. He’s also mentioned Marco “Little Marco” Rubio, Ben “Little Ben” Sasse, and Adam “Liddle‘ Adam” Schiff.
At his own risk he’s even referred to North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un would as “Little Rocket Man.”

President Joe Biden, appearing at one of DC’s oldest traditions, the Gridiron Dinner, made some sharp quips about Donald Trump but then turned serious about the threat that his rival poses to democracy.
Biden directed his barbs at his own age and at his predecessor.
“One candidate’s too old and mentally unfit to be president,” Biden said. “The other guy’s me.”
The dinner tradition, which dates to the 19th century, is a white-tie night that routinely draws the top echelons of government, media and business to watch journalists perform musical skits and politicians, also including Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Utah Governor Spencer Cox, do some of their own standup.
Biden noted that his student debt relief program “doesn’t apply to everyone. Just yesterday, a defeated-looking man came up and said, “I’m being crushed by debt. I’m completely wiped out.” I said, ‘Sorry, Donald I can’t help out.

Former Vice President Mike Pence said that he will not endorse Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential bid.
“It should come as no surprise that I will not be endorsing Donald Trump this year,” Pence told Fox News’ Martha MacCallum earlier today.
“As I have watched his candidacy unfold, I have seen him walking away from our commitment to confront the national debt. I’ve seen him start to shy away from a commitment to the sanctity of human life. And this last week his reversal on getting tough on China and supporting our administration’s effort to force a sale of ByteDance TikTok.”
He added, “Donald Trump is pursuing and articulating an agenda that is at odds with the conservative agenda that we governed on during our four years. That is why I cannot in good conscience endorse Donald Trump in this campaign.”

As Oscar night fades in the rearview, arguments over who got robbed and who had the nicest dress continue to recede. One story, however, continues to rage on — a backlash (and backlash to the backlash) to the acceptance speech given by Jonathan Glazer alongside producers James Wilson and Len Blavatnik when The Zone of Interest won for best international film. THR has learned that that, even though Glazer claimed to speak for all three of them, he had not run his comments by Blavatnik, according to a spokesperson for the billionaire.
Glazer, The Zone of Interest’s writer-director, said (and it’s important to get this right) that his Auschwitz-set movie “shows where dehumanization leads at its worst” and continued “right now we stand here as men who refute their Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation which has led to conflict for so many innocent people,...

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell‘s sister-in-law, Angela Chao, drowned at a Texas ranch after her Tesla accidentally backed into a pond.
In February, Chao, 50 years old at the time of death, was driving her Tesla home after spending the evening with friends when she accidentally reversed into a pond. As the car sunk into the water, Chao called a friend. First responders arrived at the scene 24 minutes after an initial call was made.
First responders spent hours attempting to remove Chao from the vehicle. Once the car was removed, Chao was found unresponsive. First responders attempted to resuscitate Chao for 43 minutes.
An investigation into the vehicle determined that the Tesla’s reinforced glass windows made it impossible for Chao to break them underwater, trapping her inside. The American Automobile Association confirmed these details in a vehicle test.
Chao’s death is being investigated as a possible crime for the moment.

As in Star Wars, Dune has an interplanetary emperor, and as with most similarities between the two universes, it’s probably not a coincidence, given the all-too-obvious influence of Frank Herbert’s novels on George Lucas. But in Denis Vileneuve’s Dune 2, instead of Ian McDiarmid’s lightning-tossing, “unlimited power”-bellowing Palpatine, we get a fantastically understated Christopher Walken as the faded ruler of the known universe, looking bummed out from years of governance, with a vibe not unlike Mitch McConnell’s at his recent farewell press conference.

Trump also has used racist remarks against McConnell’s wife, former Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao. Trump has called her “coco chow.”

Saturday Night Live‘s Weekend Update took aim at Donald Trump’s bizarre moment at the southern border this week, as well as Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell announcing he’ll step down as his party’s Senate leader.
Trump, who toured the Texas-Mexico border Thursday alongside the increasingly militant Gov. Greg Abbott, at one point waved at migrants through a barbed wire fence and claimed, “They like Trump, can you believe it?”
Co-anchor Colin Jost offered a rational response, given Trump’s Hilter-adjascent rhetoric about migrants “poisoning the blood of our country.

Michael Che and Colin Jost had a running gag on Saturday Night Live’s “Weekend Update,” cracking jokes about Mitch McConnell who announced earlier this week he was stepping down as Senate Republican leader.
Every time the photo of McConnell appeared on screen, the SNL duo made a joke about what had the senator so happy during that moment. Che started the gag, saying McConnell was “catching up on news from the Middle East.”
“McConnell has been leader for almost 20 years, but he first got involved in politics back in 1968 when he lost a fiddle contest to the devil,” Che quipped.
Jost continued the gag saying, “Mitch McConnell seen here walking out of a theater after watching 12 Years a Slave.”
“He’ll be replaced by the current number two Republican in the Senate, a frozen embryo holding an assault rifle,” Jost joked.

In February, Sen. Mitch McConnell‘s sister-in-law, Angela Chao, was found dead in her vehicle submerged in a pond in Texas.
The billionaire CEO of the Foremost Group, Angela was 50 years old at the time of her death. Authorities believed her death to be an accident at first but are now treating it as a criminal case.
Blanco County Sheriff’s Office wrote to Attorney General Ken Paxton, “Although the preliminary investigation indicated this was an unfortunate accident, the Sheriff’s Office is still investigating this accident as a criminal matter until they have sufficient evidence to rule out criminal activity.”
It took an hour for first responders to pull Chao’s body from the vehicle. Ems were unable to resuscitate Chao. The pond where the vehicle was submerged was located on a ranch in Johnson City, Texas. Chao’s husband, Jim Breyer, has ties to the corporation that owns the ranch.

Four survivor-led advocacy organizations — including those founded by former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson and California Governor Gavin Newsom’s wife and filmmaker Jennifer Siebel Newsom — published a letter and report on Wednesday calling for the music business to take further action regarding sexual misconduct across the industry.
The report, titled “Sound Off: The Make Music Safe Report” compiled decades of previously disclosed allegations against over two dozen prominent artists and industry executives such as Sean “Diddy” Combs, Axl Rose, Anti-Flag’s Justin Geever, composer Danny Elfman, former Def Jam head Russell Simmons,...

Mitch McConnell is stepping down from his post leading Republicans in the Senate.
The Kentucky Republican announced on Wednesday that he’ll leave his leadership role in November. He will serve out the remainder of his term, which ends in 2027. “One of life’s most under-appreciated talents is to know when it’s time to move on to life’s next chapter,” he said in an address before the Senate. “So I stand before you today … to say that this will be my last term as Republican leader of the Senate.

Updated: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky) said that he is stepping down as the Republican leader in the Senate, ending a tenure longer than anyone else in that position.
McConnell, 82, said on the Senate floor, “This will be my last term as Republican leader of the Senate.” He said that it was “time to move on,” although he said that he intended to remain in the Senate through the end of his term, which runs through 2027.
Elected in 1984, McConnell has served as Senate leader longer than anyone else, but his future in that position has increasingly been in doubt after a couple of incidents last year when he froze up as he was speaking to reporters. He had been hospitalized earlier in the year after suffering injuries from a fall.
McConnell also has seen increasing fissures in his party on issues that were once a given for Republican support,...

When Josh Napravnik moved to Madison, Wisconsin, in his twenties, he found a second home at a “delightfully grimy cash-only bar” one block from the state capitol. The Silver Dollar Tavern was a place where you could spend an afternoon doing crossword puzzles at the bar, the only spot in town that played Thursday Night Football, and where he and his friends invariably ended up at the end of a long night out, splitting pitchers of cheap beer.

The Senate passed a $95.3 billion aid package for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan in a bipartisan vote early Tuesday morning — but like pretty much everything these days, it seems destined to end up in the House GOP’s legislative graveyard.
In a 70-22 vote, a rare supermajority in the upper chamber, the Senate approved $60 billion in aid for Ukraine in its ongoing war against Russia, $23 billion in security and humanitarian assistance to Israel, and $4.8 billion for partners in the Indo-Pacific region.
They likely won’t see a penny of it, given...

Joe Biden called out Donald Trump for working to scuttle a bill to address national security and the border, even though it was negotiated over months by both parties in the Senate.
Calling the it “the strongest border bill the country has ever seen,” Biden called on GOP lawmakers “to show some spine to do what they know to be right.”
“I’m calling on Congress to pass this bill so it gets to my desk immediately. But if the bill fails, I want to be absolutely clear about something: The American people are going to know what it failed.” He said that after initially calling for a border bill, Republicans reversed themselves after Trump made it clear he did not want the issue settled before the November election.
The $118 billion border and national security package includes money to beef up border security, as well as aid to Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan.

Today is the latest deadline for campaigns and committees to disclose donors, offering a glimpse at who is putting up huge sums in the 2024 elections, which may end up being the most expensive ever.
According to the latest filings with the Federal Election Commission, Jeffrey Katzenberg, who is campaign co-chair of Joe Biden’s campaign, contributed $1 million to the Ff Pac, which is short for Future Forward, the main independent entity backing the president’s re-election bid. Future Forward made news this week when it announced plans to spend $250 million in an advertising blitz in battleground states. Money is being raised via the SuperPAC and a non profit, meaning some donors have to be disclosed and others do not.
Also contributing to Ff Pac was Sheryl Sandberg, the former Meta exective who recently announced that she was leaving the tech giant’s board. According to Fec records, she contributed $500,059 in...

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) said that it was “really appalling” that former President Donald Trump would lobby against the passing of a bipartisan border security bill being negotiated in the Senate.
A $100 billion spending package that would offer to fund for Ukraine, Israel and the United States southern border ground to a halt after Republicans demanded more border security measures. A bipartisan group of senators have been working for weeks to reach a comprise bill.
Romney made his comment after Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell cooled to the bill after Trump voiced his opposition.
“It was hard for me to see what Leader McConnell was suggesting,” Romney told CNN. “He seemed to be of two minds in the conversation.”
“But reading the reports this morning, and the fact that he hasn’t corrected them, suggests he is inclined to listen to what former President Trump wants, and former President Trump...

It’s an election year, which means it’s once again time for Republicans to care about the border. The GOP has done all it can to raise hell over the issue — from holding government funding hostage over their extreme demands, to trying to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, to backing Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s legally dubious crusade against the federal government’s dominion over the border — while blocking efforts to bring about real change. Republicans in the House, for example, are refusing to back a bipartisan immigration deal.

For months now, Republicans in the House of Representatives have been holding major legislation hostage and threatening a full-blown government shutdown over their demands for hardline, extreme immigration reforms. Now, as congressional leadership works to finalize a Biden-endorsed immigration reform package, Trump is trashing the deal publicly, and privately referring to anyone in his party who supports it as “stupid.”
Trump has recently told confidants in influential conservative media and political circles that “stupid” Republicans, particularly “RINOs” in the Senate, seem eager to hand Biden a win as he’s sunk in 2024 polls,...

Former President Donald Trump faced renewed criticism for his controversial comments about undocumented immigrants, where he suggested that they were “poisoning the blood of our country.”
Despite comparisons drawn to Adolf Hitler’s language, Trump adamantly denied that he ever read Hitler’s autobiography, Mein Kampf, and defended his remarks.
In a chapter of Hitler’s Mein Kampf, “Race and People,” he wrote, “All the great civilizations of the past became decadent because the originally creative race died out, as a result of contamination of the blood.”
In another passage, he links “the poison which has invaded the national body” to an “influx of foreign blood.”
In a speech he gave in Iowa, Trump reiterated his belief that undocumented immigrants from Africa, Asia and South America were “destroying the blood of our country.”
