When RFK Jr. jumped into the Democratic presidential race, his last name immediately turned heads. But controversial remarks have hurt him among Democrats, while GOP voters feel the opposite way. In a new Morning Consult survey, RFK Jr. is underwater with Dems but is viewed favorably by GOP voters. Among likely GOP voters that month, Kennedy Jr. was seen favorably by 42% of respondents, with 25% viewing him unfavorably. DeSantis on Wednesday floated Kennedy Jr. as someone he'd consider for a role at the Food and Drug Administration or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention should he win the presidency.

After the 2020 election, Rudy Giuliani baselessly claimed two Georgia election workers manipulated ballots. One of the workers, Ruby Freeman, said she lost her "name" and "reputation" as a result. On Wednesday, Giuliani said in a filing he's not contesting the fact his statements were false. The filing says Giuliani is only conceding to making false statements for the purposes of litigation strategy so that he can save some money. Giuliani's spokesperson Ted Goodman told Insider that, despite conceding that he made false statements in the filing, the former mayor still plans to further contest the defamation suit.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Fox News that the media is treating him more harshly than it did Donald Trump. During an appearance on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures" with Maria Bartiromo, the nephew of former President John F. Kennedy was asked if he was being heard by potential voters. He added: "Even more than President Trump was slammed by the mainstream, corporate media." "Listen, if I believe the stuff that's written about me in the papers and reported about me on the mainstream news sites, I would not have anything," Kennedy told Fox News. His niece, Kerry Meltzer, told Insider in April that she could not support his presidential bid as a practicing physician because his "vaccine skepticism is unfounded and potentially dangerous."

Smith’s office interviewed Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger last month as part of the federal probe into Trump’s efforts to subvert the peaceful transition of power. Raffensperger, an elected Republican, repeatedly pushed back on Trump’s demands in 2020, as he and his family, in addition to other election workers in the state, faced an onslaught of threats. Harvey left his job at the secretary of state’s office about six months after the 2020 election. Separately, a grand jury in Fulton County is expected to consider state charges against Trump and his Republican allies for trying to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, an elected Democrat, launched the investigation in early 2021, and has indicated that final charging decisions could come next month.

Kennedy Human Rights stand for, with our 50+ year track record of protecting rights and standing against racism and all forms of discrimination." Kerry Kennedy, the seventh child of the late Robert F. Kennedy and Ethel Skakel Kennedy, is currently the president of Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights, a nonprofit human rights advocacy organization.

The resulting uncertainty, they say, risks slowing the government and social media companies’ ability to respond to election-related disinformation that appears on tech platforms. Last week, the State Department canceled a routine meeting on election security with Facebook, according to a person familiar with the matter. On Wednesday, FBI Director Christopher Wray defended the close contacts between the US government and the social media companies. The injunction does contain some exceptions allowing more limited contact between affected agencies and social media companies. “Well, the government doesn’t necessarily have those capabilities to do that back-end work that the social media companies do.

Companies Trump Organization Inc FollowJune 20 (Reuters) - Donald Trump's bid to oust the judge overseeing the criminal case against him over a hush-money payment to a porn star should be rejected, the Manhattan District Attorney's office said in a filing on Tuesday. Trump has a "history of baselessly accusing state and federal judges around the country of bias," prosecutors wrote in opposing Trump's motion for New York state Justice Juan Merchan to remove himself from the case. Prosecutors said the payment was meant to buy her silence about a sexual encounter she claims she had with Trump. They also said "at no point" did Merchan "induce" Weisselberg to cooperate against Trump. Finally, prosecutors said, Trump's history of attacking courts and judges, "makes clear that this motion is based on tactics, not ethics."

New York CNN —During his six months as Twitter’s CEO and owner, Elon Musk decimated its ad business, alienated some news publications and VIP users, and plunged the platform into a constant state of chaos. But she may struggle to address Twitter’s biggest problem: Elon Musk. On Tuesday, Musk said he “didn’t care” if his controversial tweets drew the ire of Twitter advertisers or Tesla shareholders. She may struggle to undo the damage Elon Musk has done to the company's ad business. That could only add to the difficulty Yaccarino will face in shoring up Twitter’s business.

A judge said that amount was excessive and ordered a second trial on damages after Diaz rejected a reduced award of $15 million. "There is no other explanation for the extraordinary gap between the first and second jury's damages verdicts," his lawyers wrote. Diaz also renewed a motion for a mistrial on similar grounds, which the judge had denied in the middle of the retrial. The U.S. Supreme Court has said punitive damages should be no more than nine times the amount of other damages. Lawyers for Tesla and Diaz did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Wednesday.

It's also worth noting that Trump — who's 76, and who Greene staunchly supports — has been accused of sexual assault and arrested on 34 felony charges.

After a close 2022 result, Democrats are hoping to knock off GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert next year. Last year, Boebert won her Republican-leaning Colorado district over Adam Frisch by only 546 votes. And as the incumbent in the state's conservative-leaning 3rd Congressional District, it appeared to many as though Boebert would be relatively safe in her reelection bid in last year's midterms. "I think it started the people in the third congressional district thinking that she wasn't paying enough attention to the district as she was paying more attention to national politics." "Extreme House Democrats lost the majority because they hammered families with crime, chaos and skyrocketing costs," National Republican Congressional Committee communications director Jack Pandol said in a statement.
