Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert had a heated exchange on the House floor on Wednesday. "I told her exactly what I think about her," Greene told Semafor. "She has genuinely been a nasty little bitch to me," Greene told Semafor when asked about a confrontation between the two women on the House floor on Wednesday. "I've donated to you, I've defended you," Greene told Boebert before referring to her with the profanity, per one of the Daily Beast's sources. I lean into it," Greene told former Trump adviser Steve Bannon on his "War Room" podcast at the time.

A predominantly red map of California shows the 1984 presidential election results, where former U.S. President Ronald Reagan won in a landslide. Online posts are falsely saying it shows results from the 2020 general election. However, it shows results from the 1984 presidential election, where only Alameda, Marin, San Francisco, Santa Cruz, and Yolo counties voted Democrat while the rest of the state voted Republican (here). The California Secretary of State (SoS) shared the 1984 presidential election results in an email to Reuters, where the results match the map being shared online. The map shows presidential election results in California for 1984, not 2020.

Trump's allies and enemies took to Twitter en masse to weigh in on his second indictment. The common refrain from Democrats and Trump's opponents within the GOP was that nobody was above the law. God Bless President Trump. I, and every American who believes in the rule of law, stand with President Trump… — Kevin McCarthy (@SpeakerMcCarthy) June 9, 2023Sen. Josh Hawley worried about the state of the republic. Every "Republican" running for President should suspend their campaign and go to Miami as a show of support.

A vice president makes countless public appearances that will be mostly ignored unless something humiliating happens — something that serves to make him or her look like the hapless lightweight who symbolizes an entire administration’s ineptitude. Bush’s young vice president, Dan Quayle, is remembered for misspelling “potato” on camera. Biden’s time in the office actually helped burnish a goofy charm; he was seen not just as folksy or avuncular but, in some corners, paradoxically cool. This is the woman seen, in some clips, singing “Wheels on the Bus” at a campaign vehicle and then cackling with laughter, or gushing about Venn diagrams. One Twitter user racked up likes by positing that her meandering sentences resemble the dense philosophy of Friedrich Hegel.

Shevrin Jones, a Florida state senator and member of the Biden campaign’s advisory board of elected officials, said he’s eager to tell the country the story of what he’s seen under DeSantis’ leadership. Biden and DeSantis and their wives walk to meet with local residents affected by Hurricane Ian in Fort Myers, Florida, on October 5, 2022. The voter registration advantage Florida Democrats had when President Barack Obama narrowly won the state in 2012 has flipped to Republicans. An adviser to the former New York City mayor told CNN that so far, there has been no outreach to Bloomberg’s operation from either the Biden campaign or the DNC. There was also a fleeting belief that they could push Biden over the top in Florida – though Trump ended up carrying the state by 3 points.
Former U.S. President Donald Trump took questions from CNN’s Kaitlan Collins and audience members during a televised town hall on Wednesday, with the 2024 Republican front-runner pressing for a second White House term. Trump received 74.2 million votes in the 2020 presidential election, surpassing former President Barack Obama’s record number of votes for an incumbent candidate. State governments, courts and members of Trump’s administration have repeatedly rejected claims made by the former president that the 2020 election was stolen (here). CLAIM“We were energy independent” during the Trump administration. For more details on the U.S. border wall during the Trump administration, see (here).
Democrats Have Become the ‘No’ Party

Wonder Land: During the Obama years, Republicans were nicknamed 'the party of No.' Today the roles have reversed, with Democrats refusing to negotiate, preferring to smear the 'MAGA Republican' opposition as 'extreme.' Images: Zuma Press/AFP via Getty Images Composite: Mark KellyNo single notion has served the Democratic Party better than its assertion that the Republicans are a party of extremism. It’s sufficient at all times to typecast Republicans as the far right, the extreme right, paranoid and currently “MAGA” Republicans. Democrats all of a sudden are turning into the party of dug-in extremes, while Republicans are talking compromise and increasingly even reconciliation with their political opponents.
After shelling out $787.5 billion to settle Dominion's lawsuit, Fox has more troubles on the way. Atop the list is a separate lawsuit from Smartmatic, another election technology company that sued Fox News Network and its parent company, Fox Corp., in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election. Smartmatic's defamation lawsuit asks for $2.7 billion in damages and was filed against Fox Corp.; Fox News Network; hosts Jeanine Pirro, Maria Bartiromo, and Lou Dobbs; and Powell and Giuliani. Aside from the Smartmatic case, Fox News has to deal with potential shareholder lawsuits. The overall value of Fox Corp. — which also includes Fox Sports and the streaming service Tubi — is more than $17.6 billion.
Among her policy promises were term limits and mental competency tests for politicians over 75. Haley, 51, leaned heavily into a narrative focused on a new generation of leaders as she launched her campaign in Charleston, South Carolina. "We're ready," she said, "ready to move past the stale ideas and faded names of the past. Leaning into portraying Trump as a leader of the past, Haley noted that Republicans failed to gain a majority of support from voters during numerous election cycles. The Trump campaign was quick to hit back at Haley on Wednesday, sending an email titled "The Real Nikki Haley" to reporters.
Pictures of Joe Biden’s visit to Puerto Rico in October 2022 show the president was wearing his pants correctly, despite posts on social media claiming otherwise. A search through Reuters Pictures returned a similar image to the one used in the meme, in which Biden is also wearing a blue shirt, beige pants and dark glasses. This higher definition photograph shows he was wearing his pants correctly, as a belt buckle and zip can be seen (bit.ly/3RVpdLy). President Joe Biden walks with First Lady Jill Biden and Governor of Puerto Rico Pedro Pierluisi at Port of Ponce, Puerto Rico, October 3, 2022.”A photograph from the same day shared by the White House (here) also shows Biden was wearing his clothes properly. Joe Biden did not wear his pants backwards during a visit to Puerto Rico.
A fabricated screenshot that appears to show Republican U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene accusing President Joe Biden of allowing China to develop submarines is circulating on social media. The purported tweet is dated Feb. 5, 2023 and reads: “Under Joe Biden, China has developed under-water-machines (sic.) Joe Biden has surrendered America.” It shows a picture of Greene in the top left corner and her real Twitter handle, @RepMTG. One person said: “MTG discovers submarines about 150 years late.”No such tweet was found on Greene’s Twitter account (bit.ly/3x412Bb). Marjorie Taylor Greene did not post a tweet accusing Joe Biden of allowing China to develop submarines.

Jill Biden is now “all in” on the idea, according to a person who works with the East Wing. Recent polling, however, suggests a large swath of the Democratic Party may not be eager to see the president run again. President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden arrive with Vice President Kamala Harris and second gentleman Doug Emhoff for a bill signing ceremony for the Respect for Marriage Act on Tuesday, December 13, 2022, on the South Lawn of the White House. “[Jill Biden] is the one more aware of how the last few years have affected Joe [Biden,]” noted a person with ties to the Biden family. Jill Biden is also the tender of Joe Biden’s legacy.
CNN —The strong turnout in Georgia’s runoff election that cemented Democrats’ control of the US Senate is sparking fresh debate about the impact of the state’s controversial 2021 election law and could trigger a new round of election rule changes next year in the Republican-led state legislature. “There’s no truth to voter suppression,” Raffensperger said in an interview this week with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, a day after Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock secured reelection in the first federal election cycle since Georgia voting law took effect. State election officials had opposed casting ballots on that date, saying Georgia law prohibited voting on a Saturday if there is a state holiday on the Thursday or Friday before. In the CNN interview earlier this week, Raffensperger suggested that the Republican-controlled General Assembly might revisit some of the state’s election rules, including potentially lowering to 45% the threshold needed to win a general election outright. “There will be a push for this in the upcoming legislative session,” said Daniel Baggerman, president of Better Ballot Georgia, a group advocating for the instant runoff.
Sullivan, who spoke via live video link, did not elaborate but said Washington was committed to using pressure and diplomacy to entice North Korea into giving up its nuclear arsenal. He pointed to increased cooperation between the United States, South Korea, and Japan, which have increased joint military drills. North Korea has said denuclearisation is off the table, and accused the United States and its allies of pursing "hostile" policies, including sanctions, that have left it no choice but to expand its military. Sullivan said Washington had no ill intent toward North Korea and is open to talks without preconditions. Sullivan said the administration has no illusions about the challenges, but that the United States remained committed to holding North Korea accountable.
The new GOP House majority will likely subpoena Hunter Biden as they dig into his business dealings. The career of Hunter Biden, on the other hand, has all the earmarks of a real one. Nor will it protect the Biden White House from potential fallout stemming from the Justice Department's own criminal investigation of Hunter Biden, which is ongoing. During Joe Biden's vice presidency, Hunter Biden was openly trading on the Biden family name. A lawyer for Hunter Biden did not respond to Insider's request for comment Friday about the looming possibility of a congressional inquiry.
[1/3] President of the U.S. Joe Biden speaks with Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi at the G20 Summit opening session in Nusa Dua, Bali, Indonesia, Tuesday, Nov. 15, 2022. PRASETYO UTOMO/G20 Media Center/Handout via REUTERSNEW DELHI, Nov 15 (Reuters) - India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi discussed global and regional developments in a meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden on Tuesday at the Group of 20 (G20) summit in Indonesia, India's foreign ministry said. Modi also exchanged courtesies with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the end of a G20 dinner, according to government sources. Modi and Xi came face-to-face previously at a summit of regional security group Shanghai Cooperation Organisation in Uzbekistan in September. The Indian premier has also met British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, World Bank president David Malpass, and International Monetary Fund (IMF) managing director Kristalina Georgieva, among other leaders, at the G20 summit on the Indonesian island of Bali.
Social media users are sharing a claim that President Joe Biden “announced” a plan to cheat on the U.S. midterms by dumping ballots in a Nov. 2, 2022 speech. But nowhere in the speech does Biden “announce” cheating or dumping ballots during the midterm elections. Specifically, mail-in ballots can start being counted ranging from before election day, on election day before polls close and after polls close on election day, depending on the state (here). Reuters has previously reported on why official U.S. election vote counts may not be reported until after election day and can take weeks to verify (here). There are multiple layers of security in place for mail-in ballots, from affidavits and signature verification to witness signatures and notarized ballots.
As the oldest sitting president, he's raising concerns about how long he can continue governing.

President Joe Biden drives the Ford's new all-electric F-150 Lightning in Dearborn, Michigan. Ruggerio described the idea that Joe Biden is diminished or can't remember things as "bull crap." Cox said that while he thinks Biden is "still Joe" and still capable, he worries that Biden's age is a problem.
Biden și Putin la hotar cu Republica Moldova

Au cei doi pe agendă ceva despre Moldova, despre electorala de aici sau despre modul în care au fost spălate de ploaie căpșunile de la Sadova? În anticiparea întâlnirii Biden-Putin, președintele SUA a făcut un tur al Europei, participând și la Summitul NATO. Ar putea, desigur, teoretic și utopic, să devină un stat prosper și transparent și independent de NATO. Toată viața sa Republica Moldova a fost un stat neutru în Constituție, iar în realitate un stat ocupat de o armată străină. Numărul de cetățeni ruși care aleg să locuiască în SUA e absolut depășit de numărul de americani care ar locui în Rusia.

Preşedintele Ucrainei, Volodimir Zelenski, doreşte un răspuns clar, „da” sau „nu”, din partea preşedintelui american Joe Biden în ceea ce privește aderarea Ucrainei la NATO, informează agențiile internaționale de presă. „Statele Unite ar trebui să-i acorde Ucrainei susţinere economică”, a mai afirmat Zelenski într-un interviu acordat Reuters, Associated Press și AFP. Pentagonul a anunţat săptămâna trecută că a acordat Kievului un nou ajutor militar în valoare de 150 de milioane de dolari, după ce în luna martie SUA au oferit Ucrainei armament în valoare de 125 milioane de dolari. Volodimir Zelenski și-a exprimat, în același timp, regretul că Joe Biden se va întâlni cu Putin înaintea lui. Joe Biden l-a invitat la Casa Albă pe Zelenski, a anunţat săptăma trecută consilierul pentru securitate naţională al președintelui SUA, Jake Sullivan.

O bere sau 100 de dolari, printre „stimulentele” acordate în SUAAstfel de recompense sunt oferite și în Statele Unite, unde oamenii care acceptă să se vaccineze primesc diverse „premii”, de la prăjituri și cafea, la bere, bani sau reduceri la diverse produse și chiar la marijuana. De exemplu, guvernatorul din New Jersey, Phil Murphy, le-a promis o bere gratuită tuturor celor cu vârste de peste 21 de ani care se vaccinează, în cadrul programului denumit „O doză şi o bere”, care va funcţiona până la sfârşitul lunii. Însă aceia care încasează banii după prima doză de vaccin şi nu se mai prezintă la a doua doză vor trebui să restituie banii.

Ziua Pământului a fost proclamată de senatorul american Gaylord Nelson în anul 1970, cu scopul de a trezi interesul clasei politice faţă de mediu, un subiect ignorat. Ziua Pământului a fost celebrată în primul an de circa 20 de milioane de cetăţeni americani, mare parte dintre ei tineri şi foarte tineri, relatează Mediafax. Ziua Pământului a avut un rol important în popularizarea problemelor de mediu. De altfel, a fost înfiinţată şi o organizaţie - Earth Day Organization, care are în prezent filiale în peste 192 de ţări. Ca de obicei, motrul de căutare Google marchează Ziua Pământului cu un doodle special.
