The memo, which was first reported by Axios, does not mention Mr. Trump, and the restrictions apply to all candidates who aren’t participating — a category that also includes those who didn’t meet the donor and polling thresholds to qualify. In practice, though, it will affect Mr. Trump more significantly than anyone else, since he is the front-runner in the Republican primary and is actively trying to snub the debate while still getting its benefits. Mr. Trump’s decision to skip the first Republican National Committee-sanctioned debate of the 2024 race was a slap in the face to both the party and Fox News. Mr. Trump has frequently complained about Fox News’s coverage of him. At least three senior members of Mr. Trump’s campaign — Chris LaCivita, Jason Miller and Steven Cheung — plan to attend the debate in person, The Times has reported.

The source said Carlson is "always in discussions" with all the candidates, and nothing is firmly set with Trump and Carlson. The New York Times first reported on Trump's plans to skip the debate for an interview with Carlson. Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said Thursday that she believed Trump will sign the pledge if he decides to debate. In a post to his social media platform, Truth Social, on Thursday Trump touted his poll numbers as a reason not to participate in the GOP debate. Chris Christie, a GOP presidential candidate who has qualified for the debate, said, "not going?

Kemp should instead have criticized Trump's Georgia indictment. Brian Kemp forcefully pushed back against former President Donald Trump's 2020 election claims, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "His message should have been against this, not arguing with President Trump about the election and making it about his own ego and pride over Georgia's election," she told the newspaper. Am I going to be a part of President Trump's Cabinet if he wins? "The 2020 election in Georgia was not stolen," Kemp wrote.

☆ Kevin McCarthy is now openly threatening to impeach Joe Biden
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-25 | by ( Brent D. Griffiths | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

Kevin McCarthy is now openly discussing the possibility of impeaching Biden. In response, White House spokesperson Ian Sams blasted McCarthy for the "seemingly bottomless" desire of Republicans to punish the president despite a lack of concrete evidence. The House speaker's mention is more than just a shot across the bow at the White House. As Politico pointed out, McCarthy's mention hints that House Republicans may try to start an impeachment process as a way to potentially unlock greater legal power. While McCarthy has been more guarded when discussing impeachment, some of the more conservative House Republicans have pushed for impeaching the president since his inauguration.

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia was voting on the floor of the House on the morning of June 23 when she saw her name trending on Twitter. Ms. Greene, a high-profile, right-wing Republican who is no stranger to trending online, flicked through her feed and learned from the internet that two hours earlier, her colleagues in the ultraconservative House Freedom Caucus had voted to remove her from the group. Just then, an emissary from the caucus, Representative Ben Cline, Republican of Virginia, approached Ms. Greene. He asked if she would attend a one-on-one meeting with its chairman, Representative Scott Perry, Republican of Pennsylvania, who had been waiting to officially announce her ouster until he had spoken to her in person. Ms. Greene balked.

☆ Quick to Mock MAGA, Biden Stays Silent on Trump Indictments

For months, President Biden has appeared to delight in needling Donald J. Trump and his Republican allies, trying at every turn to make MAGA and ultra-MAGA a shorthand for the entire party. This week, Mr. Biden cheekily highlighted a video in which Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia derisively ticks through his first-term accomplishments and likens him — not positively — to Franklin Delano Roosevelt. “I approve this message,” the president commented on the video, which was viewed more than 43 million times in 24 hours. Mr. Biden recently did a victory lap when Senator Tommy Tuberville of Alabama promoted local spending in the bipartisan infrastructure bill, which Mr. Tuberville had voted against. And his campaign took a shot at Mr. Trump for not visiting Wisconsin during his current presidential bid, accusing him of a “failure to deliver on his promised American manufacturing boom.”

Sen. JD Vance introduced a bill to criminalize providing certain treatments to transgender minors. Other Republican senators told Insider that they're open to the idea as well. Asked about potentially harmful effects on transgender people who are already receiving care, Vance conceded that the bill is largely a messaging device for now. "But it doesn't have any effect on the capacity of people to receive this care if they're adults. While the bill has the support of 46 mostly hard-right House Republicans, Vance just has one official co-sponsor in the Senate: Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama.

☆ NDAA: McCarthy faces challenge for passing defense bill after
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-14 | by ( Haley Talbot | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +3 min

CNN —House Speaker Kevin McCarthy faces a challenge Friday morning: A razor thin margin to get a must-pass defense policy bill over the finish line with a majority of Democrats signaling they cannot support the version of the legislation crafted by conservative Republicans. The bill – known as the National Defense Authorization Act – sets the policy agenda and authorizes funding for the Department of Defense. If they lose that many members, it would greatly increase the prospects that Republicans could muscle the bill through. Without Democratic support, Republicans will need to wrangle nearly every member of the GOP conference in order to get the bill over the finish line. Many Democrats made clear ahead of the vote that if the amendment was included as part of the defense bill, they would be unlikely to support final passage.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has been ousted from the GOP Freedom Caucus, a member told NBC. One member told NBC she had been kicked out because of her feuding with other members. "She's not a member of the Freedom Caucus, and she shouldn't be in the future," Buck told NBC. "She has consistently attacked other members of the Freedom Caucus in an irresponsible way, and as a result of that she was kicked out of the Freedom Caucus." And I guess the Freedom Caucus does a good job of talking to you more than [their] members," she told reporters on Tuesday, according to the Hill.

“A vote was taken to remove Marjorie Taylor Greene from the House Freedom Caucus – for some of the things she’s done,” Harris told reporters Thursday. According to Harris, Greene can no longer attend weekly meetings as they are reserved for members. A spokesperson for Boebert declined to say how she voted at the June Freedom Caucus meeting. “There was nothing personal about Congresswoman Boebert’s vote regarding MTG’s membership status in the House Freedom Caucus,” Boebert spokesperson Joey Hungerford said in a statement. Unlike the majority of the House Freedom Caucus, Greene stood by McCarthy in his fight to become speaker and opposed members of the group who blockaded the House floor for a week over the debt ceiling deal House GOP leaders negotiated with the White House.

Speaker McCarthy is backing a GOP-led push to "expunge" the impeachments of former President Trump. Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Elise Stefanik have introduced resolutions to absolve Trump. Legal scholar Jonathan Turley told Reuters that the Constitution doesn't list provisions for expunging impeachments. McCarthy said that the 2019 impeachment was "was not based on true facts" while adding that the 2021 vote was taken "on the basis of no due process." But the speaker later remarked that the resolutions introduced by Greene and Stefanik would need to proceed through the committee process.

Greene called Boebert a "bitch" on the House floor, accusing her of copying her impeachment resolution. "It's purely for fundraising," Greene told Semafor on Wednesday. "She has genuinely been a nasty little bitch to me," Greene told Semafor. Because Boebert presented the impeachment resolution as a "privileged resolution," the House is required to take action on the legislation. But you've been nothing but a little bitch to me," Greene reportedly told Boebert.

But with Schiff running for Senate as a #Resistance hero, the censure is only likely to help him. His Senate campaign fundraised heavily on it, and he thanked his GOP colleagues in a floor speech. In a floor speech earlier on Wednesday, Schiff thanked his Republican colleagues for bringing the censure resolution, saying he stood "proudly" before them. The censure resolution alleges that Schiff "misled the American people and brought disrepute upon the House of Representatives" for his handling of the Trump-Russia investigation. Schiff has also led Porter in recent fundraising, though the congresswoman has amassed a large war chest from her House campaign account.

In May, Bud Light sales dropped a quarter compared to the same month last year, consulting companies Bump Williams and NielsenIQ said Wednesday.

☆ A Super PAC Targets Greene, Gaetz, Boebert and Others on the Far Right
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-20 | by ( Nick Corasaniti | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

A bipartisan group of political operatives — spanning the ideological spectrum from former members of the hard-right House Freedom Caucus to a Democrat who challenged Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia — has started a political action committee aimed at “stopping MAGA” and eradicating what the operatives call an authoritarian streak among some Republican lawmakers. The group, Mission Democracy PAC, will challenge far-right members of Congress in their often deep-red home districts, running ads and messaging campaigns that accuse the politicians of holding antidemocratic and extreme positions. Mission Democracy PAC begins with just over $500,000 in the bank, but the advisers say they hope to raise $18 million for the coming election cycle, and plan to spend all of it within the targeted congressional districts. Who’s behind the group? The leaders are former Representative Denver Riggleman of Virginia, who once belonged to the Freedom Caucus but has since left the Republican Party and spoke out against conspiracy theories from the House floor; Olivia Troye, a former official in Donald J. Trump’s administration who has been critical of him; and Marcus Flowers, an Army veteran and Democrat who lost heavily to Ms. Greene last year.

In later remarks to reporters, Mr. Biden added that he had instructed officials to get “to the root of why he had access in the first place.”The Pentagon has provided little information about what security reviews might be underway. While Mr. Biden’s remarks were directed widely to the military and intelligence agencies, officials said that based on what is known so far, the Defense Department will make the initial moves to tighten security. Officials described a reluctance to limit intelligence shared with the Pentagon and said it is more likely that the first steps of any security review will focus on improving how the military gives access to the material. Top Republicans on Friday praised the arrest of the airman even as Speaker Kevin McCarthy accused the Biden administration of having been “asleep at the switch” on protecting the nation’s secrets. But Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia went further, calling Airman Teixeira a “hero” who had exposed government secrets the administration has tried to conceal and who was being unfairly targeted for his right-wing views.

The rambling, 27-minute speech, Trump called the charges against him "a persecution, not an investigation" and evidence the country "is going to hell," adding that the charges should be dropped immediately. The arraignment on Tuesday "solidified" a Trump win in 2024, MyPillow CEO and Trump ally Mike Lindell told Insider ahead of the Mar-a-Lago speech. He accused the Manhattan DA of having political motivations because Trump didn't "go away" after the 2020 election.
