We just got the most extensive new detail in years about former president Donald Trump’s plot to overturn the 2020 election, in the form of a much-anticipated filing from special counsel Jack Smith. The 165-page, partially redacted filing, which was unsealed by U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, lays out the evidence Smith’s team would like to present in the long-delayed ...
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) is not known for being generous with moderate colleagues. During the earliest days of his two decades in the House, the far-right firebrand often ignored, or publicly defied, the more centrist members of his party.

In marked ...
In the vice-presidential debate Tuesday night, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) proved he could match his running mate on the falsehood meter, though with a bit more verve and polish. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) misled on occasion, such as claiming Republicans supported a “registry for pregnancies.” Here is a roundup of 21 claims that caught our attention, the majority by ...
It is one of the featured elements of Tim Walz’s biography: how as a teacher he often went to China, and how it informed his worldview. In his telling, it broadened his life experience. It helped educate his students, and Walz himself. But during Tuesday’s vice-presidential debate, the episode yielded one of Walz’s clumsiest moments as he conceded that he ...
Former president Donald Trump once again downplayed the traumatic brain injuries suffered by American soldiers in an Iranian missile strike on an air base in Iraq in 2020, describing them as “a headache,” in response to a question at a campaign event in Milwaukee on Tuesday.
