Beautiful things can’t last forever: The relationship between Donald Trump and Kari Lake is reportedly strained. Lake, the election denier who rode Trumpism all the way to an Arizona gubernatorial loss in the 2022 midterms, is now running for Senate with Trump’s blessing. But Trump, as the Washington Post reports, isn’t so sure about it anymore. He’s skeptical she’ll be able to win her Senate race, and he’s been irritated at the amount of time she’s spent at Mar-a-Lago.

Republished from WEKU. Republican Aaron Reed intends to go to Frankfort in the 2025 session of the Kentucky General Assembly as a free man.

Kennedy Jr.: Mr. Kennedy created the largest antivax group in the U.S. and has long argued that vaccines cause autism and needless deaths. On Sunday in Colorado, he offered 1,200 enthusiastic supporters enough weird theories to qualify as a QAnon convention keynoter. He asserted that the CIA is a bigger threat to America than China, that the Seventh Amendment right of trial by jury is routinely violated, and that a “war machine” is working with corrupt U.S. corporations and…

Nearly eight years ago, convinced that she’d been treated unfairly, Jessica Denson sued Donald Trump’s campaign for workplace harassment. Then she discovered the lengths Trump’s attorneys would go to hit back — and their unwillingness to stop. Immediately, the campaign filed a counterclaim for $1.5 million. It won a $52,229 judgment, and the campaign froze her bank account and almost forced her into bankruptcy. She found it humiliating when the campaign lawyers branded her a “judgment debtor” in…
