“This isn’t mismanagement,” Homan said of President Joe Biden’s border polices. “This isn’t incompetence. This is by design. It’s a choice. This is national suicide!”
Trump recently promised to rehire Homan if he retakes the White House — something Homan described as inevitable.
“I have a message for the millions of illegal aliens who Joe Biden allowed to enter the country in violation of federal law,” Homan said. “Start packing, because you’re going home!”
The crowd roared.
In an abrupt reversal, a majority of commissioners in the Reno, Nevada area voted to certify the results of two local elections, one week after three Republicans on the five-member board blocked the certification.
Two of the Washoe County Commission members who voted against certification last week, Clara Andriola and Michael Clark, changed their votes, saying they learned that the law required a “yes” vote. The third, Commissioner Jeanne Herman, held her ground.
The vote is a test run for November, when the same commission will be responsible for certifying the results of the presidential, statewide and local races. Home to Reno, Washoe County is Nevada's second largest after Clark County around Las Vegas. The closely divided swing county may decide who wins elections in the battleground state.
Special counsel Jack Smith has formally appealed a federal judge’s dismissal of criminal charges against former President Trump over his alleged mishandling of classified information after finding the prosecutor was unlawfully appointed.
Smith’s office filed a notice saying it would appeal Florida-based U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon’s ruling tossing out the 40 charges Trump faced to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.
The Trump-appointed judge on Monday ruled that Attorney General Merrick Garland did not have the authority to appoint a federal officer with the “kind of prosecutorial power wielded by Special Counsel Smith.”
President Joe Biden has again tested positive for COVID-19.
Biden tested positive following an event Wednesday in Las Vegas, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement.
“He is vaccinated and boosted, and he is experiencing mild symptoms,” she said. “He will be returning to Delaware, where he will self-isolate and will continue to carry out all of his duties fully during that time. The White House will provide regular updates on the president’s status as he continues to carry out the full duties of the office while in isolation.”It’s the third time the 81-year-old president has tested positive for COVID.
Biden first tested positive on July 21, 2022. Nine days later, he tested positive again in a “rebound” case.
Americans fear their country is spiraling out of control following an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, with worries growing that the Nov. 5 election could spark more political violence, a Reuters/Ipsos poll that closed on Tuesday found.
“This is a disaster for Ukraine.” Those are the words of one senior EU official today as Europe reacted to Donald Trump’s choice of Ohio senator J.D. Vance as his running mate.
While Europe was already panicked about a second Trump presidency and its implications for U.S. foreign policy, the addition of Vance to the GOP ticket has raised further questions about a potential new administration’s commitment to Ukraine and the transatlantic alliance.
Vance has made his views on Ukraine clear. In 2022, he told Steve Bannon in an interview “I got to be honest with you, I don’t really care what happens to Ukraine one way or another.” In February 2024, when Vance made his first appearance at the Munich Security Conference, he told POLITICO that the U.S. needed to reassess its support for Ukraine and skipped a meeting with the Ukraine delegation and other senators.
As the Republican national convention kicked off in Milwaukee on Monday, about a thousand people led a spirited demonstration against Donald Trump and his party on the streets outside.
The March on the RNC gathered in a park a couple of blocks from the Fiserv Forum, where Trump was formally nominated at the Republican candidate for president.
rmed with pro-Palestine flags, anti-Trump posters and even a ventriloquist’s puppet of Trump, the coalition of progressive groups marched through downtown Milwaukee, stopping traffic and chanting ‘Free Palestine’ as they walked.The group had begun proceedings with a rally at Red Arrow park, where Omar Flores, co-chair of the Coalition to March on the RNC, was among the speakers.
