FBI and Justice Department 'abused' their power in search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago, Rudy Giuliani says
Rudy Giuliani is slamming the search of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago as a “fascist police state” tactic. The former New York City mayor, who has been under federal investigation for myriad potential misdeeds, accused the FBI and Department of Justice leadership of abusing their “awesome power” to target his ex-boss. “The FBI and DOJ leadership has abused the awesome power of law enforcement as if the U.S. has no constitution and is a fascist police state,” Giuliani tweeted late Monday. Giuliani also accused the officials of a “cover-up” of supposed crimes linked to President Joe ...

Editorial: Democrats finally get something done for President Biden. In the end, Manchin was more helpful than Sinema
As Democrats finally discovered reality and got some legislation moving, some mighty spurious arguments over the climate and energy bill emerged on both sides of the aisle. Exhibit A was the idea that a beefed-up Internal Revenue Service should only audit people above a certain income level. That was floated by some of the same Republicans who have rightly lambasted progressive prosecutors for failing to protect America’s cities from the prevalence of repeat offenders who were sent back out on the streets. Saying the IRS should only go after the really rich is akin to saying that how you are p...

David Axelrod has done 500 episodes of ‘The Axe Files’ and talked with every stripe of politician — here’s what he thinks of the mess we’re in now
CHICAGO — You’ve likely heard this before, or felt it in your bones, but it’s horrifying, debilitating and worth repeating, especially right now, as we head into a political season: At least half of this country hates the other half. According to the Pew Research Center, 75% of Democrats think of Republicans as close-minded. And 64% of Republicans feel the same way about Democrats. Nearly 50% of Republicans think Democrats are lazy. And nearly 40% of Democrats think Republicans are idiots. Majorities in both parties believe the other does not share its goals. Worse, a study by the advocacy gro...

Kris Kobach narrowly wins Kansas GOP primary for attorney general in political comeback
Former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach on Tuesday won the Republican nomination for state attorney general, promising to weaponize the office against the Biden administration. Kobach’s primary victory marks the 56-year-old’s first political win since he lost the Republican U.S. Senate race two years ago and re-establishes him as a force within the Kansas Republican Party. But the hard-right candidate now faces Democrat Chris Mann, a former police officer and Wyandotte County prosecutor. Mann ran unopposed in the Democratic primary. Democrats, independents and some Republicans may rally t...
