Both the U.S. attorney’s office in Brooklyn and Nassau County district attorney’s office are looking into Santos’ false claims. The lies Santos touted were “nothing short of stunning,” Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly(R) said. “No one is above the law, and if a crime was committed in this county, we will prosecute it.” The U.S. attorney’s office in Brooklyn has not yet ...

I will be good.” Santos claimed that he attended Baruch College in New York and graduated with a degree, but the school was unable to verify that statement. “I didn’t graduate from any institution ...

In Tuesday’s midterms, DeSantis won his reelection campaign by 20 points. “He says, ‘I’m only focused on the Governor’s race, I’m not looking into the future,'” Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social. “Well, in terms of loyalty and class, th...

Republicans in states where the votes are expected to be extremely close in Tuesday’s midterm elections are heading to the courts in efforts to disqualify mail-in ballots from being counted. This is playing out in a variety of scenarios, which critics are saying is voter suppression. In Pennsylvania, the Republican National Committee won their bid with the state Supreme Court ruling that thousands of ballots will go uncounted due to dates not being written on the outside of envelopes. The decision that came on November 1 will stay intact for this election cycle only. This applies to ballots th...

Fetterman struggled throughout the debate to articulate his position on issues, causing and at some points awkward silences as he took his time to understand what was being said. The Democrat addressed his health up front, explaining his use of closed captioning during the debate. “I had a stroke. [Oz has] never let me forget that,” Fetterman said as the debate kick...

United States Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vermont) on Monday announced that he is running to replace Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont), who late last week revealed that he will not seek reelection in 2022. “I’m running for the United States Senate to work for you, for Vermont, for our country, and for our imperiled democracy,” Welch tweeted along with a campaign video. In the video, Welch touts his progressive record and excoriates Republican lawmakers for hampering progress: Here in Vermont, we listen more than we talk. I got into politics as a community organizer after I saw what housing discrimination...
