Democratic operatives created thousands of Twitter accounts posing as Russian bots in order to boost Alabama Democratic Sen. Doug Jones in the October 2017 special election by linking his Republican opponent, Roy Moore, to Russian influence campaigns.

Senate Reports on ‘Russian Influence Campaign’ Fail to Discuss Its Only Known Motive…
U.S. media is again making a big fuzz about the alleged ‘Russian’ attempts to ‘influence’ the presidential elections in 2016. In March the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee commissioned two reports about the alleged ‘Russian influence’ via social media. Those reports (1, 2) were released yesterday but not endorsed by the committee. Both reports rely on […]
Death of Neocon Weekly Standard Signals Rebirth of the Right…
Neoconservatism is dead, long live American conservatism. That’s what I thought when I learned The Weekly Standard would be shuttered by longtime owner Clarity Media. The Standard was a creature of a particular time and place—the 1990s, the Bush-Clinton ascendancy, and Washington, D.C.’s insular, self-referential political class. As such, it never really fit within the […]

A misconduct claim naming one of Kamala Harris’ top deputies arrived at the California Department of Justice three months before Harris left the attorney general’s office in early 2017.

Sen. Jeff Merkley Wants to Stop Congress Members from Insider Trading by Banning Them from Owning Stocks…
Sen. James Inhofe, an Oklahoma Republican recently elevated to chair the Senate Armed Services Committee after the death of John McCain, was implicated recently in what looked to be an insider trading scandal. A few days after meeting with President Donald Trump and Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis to successfully advocate for a military budget […]
Here Are the Six Most Corrupt Congressmen of 2018, According to a Watchdog Group…
A conservative-leaning watchdog group says House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell are the biggest congressional scofflaws of 2018, for their anemic handling of the settlement slush fund that used an unlimited pot of taxpayer money to pay off congressional staff in exchange for signing legal papers barring them from taking public […]
Representative Elijah Cummings Outlines Democrat Plan to Remove President Trump via Michael Cohen…
It was curious to see Michael Cohen walk out of his sentencing hearing last week without having to report to jail/prison for the punishment therein. Generally speaking when the final adjudication is presented the accused begins to serve his/her punishment. However, not in this case; and not with the construct of this pleading, this quid-pro-quo. […]
The Governor and the Oil Lobbyist: Report Blasts Jerry Brown’s Friendship with Lucie Gikovich…
Lucie Gikovich, a longtime friend and former member of California Governor Jerry Brown’s staff, repeatedly lobbied his office on behalf of a group of oil and gas companies that won major concessions from the governor on important state legislation, according to a report released today by a New York-based non-profit organization. Gikovich’s decades-long friendship with […]
DNC Chair Tom Perez Goes to War with State Parties…

On December 14, 2008, former presidential candidate Al Gore predicted the North Polar Ice Cap would be completely ice free in five years.

MSNBC Uses 2011 Video to Claim Trump Administration Denies Water to Illegal Aliens…
MSNBC used footage from the Obama administration to claim that the Trump administration has denied water to illegal aliens. Host Joy Reid, who appeared to have lied about being hacked earlier this year, used footage from YouTube that dated back to 2011 during her Dec. 15 show. “One of the issues was dehydration. We’re going […]
Payoffs to Mistresses as In-Kind Contributions? It’s an Open Question…
Kevin, if I can butt into your exchange with Rich for a moment (since you raise a question that he and I batted around in The McCarthy Report podcast this week), the question of whether the Trump/Cohen transactions are campaign expenditures as a matter of law has not been addressed, much less settled. The Southern […]
Meet The Board Of The Fusion GPS-Linked Group Investigating Trump…
Days after Donald Trump’s inauguration, a nonprofit organization opened up shop in Washington, D.C., to continue a private investigation into the president’s possible ties to Russia. Only a few details of the group, the Democracy Integrity Project, have trickled out over the nearly two years since its founding. The organization’s founder, a former Senate Intelligence […]

The Florida Senate has declined to consider reinstating former Broward County elections head Brenda Snipes, paving the way for an ally of Republican Gov. Rick Scott to fill the remainder of her term, according to a memo on Thursday from Senate President Bill Galvano. Snipes had announced she would resign her post on Jan. 4, […]

A group of Bernie Sanders supporters faced off against the Democratic National Committee before an 11th Circuit panel Tuesday, fighting to resurrect their claims that the committee shafted them by favoring Hillary Clinton over Sanders in the 2016 presidential primary. The Sanders supporters urged the Atlanta-based federal appeals court, which held hearings in Miami on […]

Less than a month after its chairman resigned in the wake of sexual harassment allegations, the California Democratic Party has again been roiled by internal strife — this time, the abrupt firing of seven of the party’s top officials and the shuttering of its Los Angeles office by the acting chairwoman, Alexandra Gallardo-Rooker. Those fired […]

The House on Wednesday passed an $867 billion farm bill to help those in the agricultural industry, sending the legislation to President Trump for a signature.

The Senate passed legislation Wednesday to reverse a Trump administration policy limiting donor disclosure requirements for political nonprofits in a rare rebuke to the White House.
