A near-total abortion ban slated to go into effect in the coming weeks in Arizona is expected to have a seismic impact on the politics of the battleground state, testing the limits of Republican support for abortion restrictions and putting the issue front and center in November’s election. Arizona’s conservative Supreme Court on Tuesday revived a near-total ban on abortion, ...
Former president Donald Trump disappointed some supporters this week when he appeared to rebuff pressure to back a federal ban on abortion, declaring in a video that “now it’s up to the states to do the right thing.” But antiabortion activists say they remain confident that Trump will advance their cause if he wins a second term in the White ...
After more than a year of delays, a Florida woman was sentenced Tuesday to one month in prison and three years of probation for stealing and selling President Biden’s daughter’s diary, portions of which were made public shortly before the 2020 general election.

Former president Donald Trump lashed out at Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Monday after Graham expressed public disagreement with Trump’s latest statement on his abortion position. “I blame myself for Lindsey Graham, because the only reason he won in the Great State of South Carolina is because I Endorsed him!” Trump said in one of several posts shared on Truth ...

As a veteran journalist in Colorado, it wasn’t Sandra Fish’s first time reporting on the state GOP assembly. But it was her first time getting kicked out. The Colorado Republican Party expelled Fish from its event in Pueblo, Colo., on Saturday after she was told the party chairman finds her reporting “very unfair.” A sheriff’s deputy escorted the longtime reporter ...
Special counsel Jack Smith on Monday urged the Supreme Court to reject Donald Trump’s “novel and sweeping” claim that he is immune from criminal prosecution on charges of conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. “The President’s constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed does not entail a general right to violate them,” ...
When Donald Trump’s campaign issued a statement to The Washington Post last April saying abortion laws should be decided by states, some allies began aggressively lobbying him to change course, while others took the rare move of publicly disagreeing with him. It was a “morally indefensible position,” said Marjorie Dannenfelser, who runs Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America. Former campaign manager ...
Donald Trump is in a “full sprint” to narrow President Biden’s substantial fundraising advantage, and talked to or met with big-money donors almost every day this week ahead of a blowout gala in Palm Beach on Saturday night, people familiar with his efforts said.
