Despite contentious legal battles, Twitter’s shareholders approved Elon Musk’s deal to purchase the platform for $44 billion.

Prior to White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre using Thursday afternoon’s breaking news of Queen Elizabeth II’s death to end that day’s briefing, she was asked by reporters from two ends of the political spectrum how President Biden and his family have been affected by record-high inflation and gas prices and whether they’ve cut back on anything. Of course, the stammering, yammering…

The Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday struck down a bill that would have allowed big media companies to ignore antitrust laws and jointly negotiate with social media companies on content distribution.

On Sunday’s edition of ABC’s This Week, viewers witnessed a random act of journalism from co-anchor Jonathan Karl who challenged White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on why the recently passed legislation referred to as the Inflation Reduction Act should be called that since according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, the legislation will have a negligible…

According to AP, former Miss America Cara Mund is now running for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives to advocate for abortion. 

The Senate passing a pared-down climate and health-care spending bill inspired all kinds of aggressive sales language from the network "news" manufacturers. It was sold as huge and tremendously consequential to make Biden look good.

It’s why Congress labels bills with names they think will be more palatable to the public rather than a name that would accurately reflect the content of the legislation. Notice how many times over the years the word “civil rights” has appeared in legislation that often has had little or nothing to do with civil rights. Now Democrats have junked…

Early Wednesday afternoon, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre decided to face reporters solo for a press briefing, doing so for only the 14th time out of her 41 briefings since taking the top job.

On Monday afternoon, reporters saw John Kirby emerge yet again for the White House press briefing as chaperone for the incoherent and stammering Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and while there were some tough questions for Kirby on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) rumored trip to Taiwan, Fox’s Peter Doocy made Jean-Pierre crumble on the so-called Inflation Reduction Act that, according…

The usually jovial and bipartisan atmosphere of the annual Congressional Baseball game took a more hostile turn thanks to Democratic Rep. Linda Sanchez (CA-38) flipped the bird to the Republican dugout as she was returning to the dugout after being substituted for a pinch runner, …
