It can’t be that President Donald Trump lies too much , or that his Department of Justice is a politicized weapon set upon his perceived enemies — so there’s got to be something turning DC jurors against the DOJ’s cases. And the Washington Sun says the Republican House committee overseeing local D.C. affairs is going to get to the bottom of it. Committee Republicans launched an investigation into “politicized jury nullification initiatives by left-wing activist groups,” Rep. James Comer (R-Kentucky) announced Tuesday. “The investigation is so far targeting two D.C. organizations, Harriet’s Wildest Dreams and Free DC, which have hosted a series of trainings called the Juror Information Project,” reports the Sun. “Comer, who chairs the House Oversight Committee, alleges the groups are advocating for the long-debated practice of jury nullification, which happens when a juror opts to acquit someone — even if they think the accused person is technically guilty — because they object to t...

A retired judge, once powerful enough to be appointed and promoted by two Republican presidents (Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush), seemed to subtly troll President Donald Trump's defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, in a Monday statement. When discussing Hegseth's decision to air live the execution of terrorist and mass murderer Nidal Malik Hasan, most have focused on the fact that America's military has not publicized an execution in nearly a century. Alex Kozinski, on the other hand, praised Hegseth for executing Hasan by firing squad — which Kozinski points out is actually more humane than the most popular execution method, lethal injection. "It borrows medicine’s costume without the people and safeguards that make medicine work," Kozinski wrote in The Wall Street Journal . "Physicians are barred by the American Medical Association’s ethics code from participating in executions; similar constraints apply to nurses. The job therefore falls to law-enforcement ...

One day after a federal judge in New York ordered the Trump administration to immediately stop airing controversial government-funded television ads featuring President Donald Trump, government watchdog group Common Cause was already ratting out the administration for countless violations. In a two-page notice, reported by AllRise News Editor Ada Klasfeld , Common Cause told federal Judge Jennifer L. Rochon that Trump's taxpayer funded propaganda ads ran “hundreds of times” after the judge’s temporary restraining order demanded an immediate halt to them. “Plaintiffs respectfully submit this letter to bring to the Court’s attention information relevant to Defendants’ compliance with the Court’s Temporary Restraining Order, which was entered on October 11, 2026, at 6:46 p.m. and was effective immediately,” Common Cause said , before then unloading a report of easily more than 400 spots despite the court’s binding TRO. Trump’s “Final Battle” spot ran in 193 spots during “60 Minutes,”...

Ohio residents who voted for Trump are now questioning whether he cares to deliver on his promises to revive the manufacturing industry and prioritize blue-collar jobs/work. Many who voted for him based on his proposed commitments to a thriving economy wonder where his priorities currently stand. Concerns are growing across the country with inflation in groceries, housing, and gas while the job opportunities and pay appear stagnant. One Ohio voter says Trump’s support of AI and data centers does not align with his previous commitments. “I hate [AI and data centers] with a passion,” William Akel, a 26-year-old resident of Niles, Ohio, told The Washington Post . said. “AI is going to take the jobs, and then what jobs are we going to have? Probably fixing the AI?” “I think he’s just lost in the sauce,” Akel added of Trump. “ He sees [AI] as a way to make more money. … They’re putting billions and billions into all that. Where’s it all coming from? You’ve got people starving here.” In L...

Everywhere he goes on the campaign trail, Trump is telling Republican voters to “pretend I’m on the ballot.” He’s not, of course, but his approval rating is so low that telling voters to “pretend” he’s on the ballot is backfiring big-time. Which is why so many Republican candidates are trying to distance themselves from him. They’re not mentioning his name. They’re not talking about his policies. They avoid the word “MAGA.” A dozen have removed his name, image, or endorsements from their campaign websites. They don’t want to appear with him. When Mike Schrimpf, a spokesman for John Sununu’s Senate campaign, was asked why Trump isn’t campaigning with Sununu, Schrimpf limply explained,“John’s focus the entire campaign has been on New Hampshire, and [he] doesn’t plan to campaign with anyone from outside New Hampshire.” Maine’s Republican Sen. Susan Collins told The New York Times she has no plans to campaign with Trump. Several prominent Republican candidates are openly criticizing T...

President Donald Trump is furious about the recent scandal involving his ex-possible daughter-in-law and ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle. Guilfoyle is dealing with the fallout of pay-to-play allegations from a Trump donor, Eric Deters, who claims she tried to shake him down to pay off her $100,000 American Express bill. While Secretary of State Marco Rubio was claiming this week that he'd prefer to get the facts before commenting on the scandal, behind closed doors he and Trump are “extremely pi—ed off." Deters also revealed that he'd paid Guilfoyle approximately $300,000 over several years and sought her help reaching the Justice Department and IRS. He told the Journal that she “never came through on anything," the report said. The Guardian reported Sunday that a senior U.S. official "said that Rubio had grown increasingly frustrated as the reports multiplied." "Rubio had been particularly angry, not least because he visited Athens just la...
