Former President Donald Trump‘s and Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign strategies in seven battleground states have vastly differed as Democrats have increased get-out-the-vote resources, while the GOP outsources those initiatives and instead relies on poll-watching initiatives.  With just a little over 80 days left until Election Day, the Trump campaign is ceding door-knocking and canvassing […]

How swing state voters see Kamala Harris portrayed on prime-time TV ads

The Instigators isn’t bad enough to be good

Here’s my synopsis for The Instigators, Apple TV+’s messy straight-to-streamer led by Matt Damon and Casey Affleck: After botching an election-night robbery, two dim-but-affable Boston bros (and one of their shrinks) outrun the police as they bicker like they’re in couples therapy. It’s a heist movie on a psychiatrist’s couch. It’s a parody of a […]

Multiple defendants from the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol who faced charges for obstructing Congress are seeing those charges dropped, according to a Washington Examiner review of court records, after the Supreme Court ruled that the Justice Department had applied the charge too broadly. In the case known as Fischer v. United […]

California Democrats say they’ve waited a lifetime to watch Harris nominated at DNC

Deborah Cunningham-Skurnik has been to Democratic National Conventions in the past, but this year just feels different. “I’ve been waiting for this,” the California Democratic Party regional director told the Washington Examiner. “[The party] is on target with their messaging, and it’s really resonating well with Democrats.
