Court of Appeals has temporarily suspended John Eastman’s law license after a similar decision in California, which did so over his role in a legal strategy to help Donald Trump stay in power after his 2020 election loss.California State Bar Court Judge Yvette Roland in March recommended that Eastman be disbarred in the state.

A coalition of U.S. senators is demanding the Biden administration withdraw its support of two international agreements that would grant greater authority to the World Health Organization (WHO) and potentially weaken America’s sovereignty. As CBN News reported, the White House submitted 13 amendments for a pandemic-related treaty last May that essentially give the WHO the right to tell the U.S. what to do in a pandemic. Opponents warn the treaty essentially gives up control of the country’s health care system. The treaty, which includes 300 proposals to increase the WHO’s emergency powers, is being considered later this month during the…

US News By Jon Levine Published May 4, 2024, 1:03 p.m. ET An obscure clause in the Constitution could knock several candidates out of the public veepstakes for former President Trump’s 2024 running mate. The 12th amendment, adopted in 1803, bars electoral college voters from casting ballots for president and vice president from their home state. The idea was originally intended to dilute the power of large states and foster national unity, according to the Poynter Institute — in modern times, however, it’s become more of a nuisance. Sen. Marco Rubio has risen in the ranks as a possible running…

Last week, Washington Post reporter Isaac Arnsdorf published his book, Finish What We Started: The MAGA Movement’s Ground War to End Democracy. The book has been praised by two such members of that movement, Steve Bannon and John Fredericks, both of whom had Arnsdorf on their shows and recommended the book to their audiences. The Trump campaign, however, has had a different response to the book, specifically its title; prior to publication, they asked Arnsdorf to change it, and when he didn’t, they retaliated by cutting off his access, according to multiple people familiar with the matter. Since February, Arnsdorf…

(The Center Square) – North Carolina education perspectives at opposite ends of thought do not show signs of meeting in the middle. Republican lawmakers led the state Senate’s approval of $500 million to erase the waiting list for Opportunity Scholarships on Thursday evening. Gov. Roy Cooper has sought a moratorium. “This is catastrophic for the hardworking educators who deserve higher pay and the families with children in public schools whose education is threatened by this reckless desire to give a government handout to millionaires,” Cooper said in a release on Friday. Last summer, North Carolina became the 10th state and…

In 2016, Kelly Ayotte was a rising star in the GOP. In 2017, she was a former senator.Now, the New Hampshire Republican is seeking to return to a different political world than the one she left, as she mounts a bid to become the Republican nominee for governor of her state. One of the biggest differences between then and now: her posture toward Donald Trump.And while Ayotte spent the last seven-plus years out of office, she stayed connected in the political and policy spheres before her next opportunity — netting millions on corporate boards, writing on state and national issues…

A Republican senator says marijuana is a “gateway drug,” and Democrats’ moves to legalize it reflect “pro-criminal, anti-American policies” that will “stimulate more crime on American streets.” He also argued that cannabis banking legislation “facilitates an entire infrastructure and an ecosystem for more drug usage in America.” Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN) said during an interview on Thursday that he’s opposed to both comprehensive legalization legislation such as the bill Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and 17 other Democrats reintroduced this week, as well as modest reform like the Secure and Fair Enforcement Regulation (SAFER) Banking Act. “What the Joe…

CNN  —  For South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, much of the 2024 campaign cycle has turned out to be a case study in what not to do to rise into potential vice presidential contention. That includes the latest hiccup, with the second-term South Dakota governor – once considered a top potential running mate who has since fallen off former President Donald Trump’s shortlist, according to multiple Republicans with knowledge of that list – finding herself in an unwanted spotlight over questions about actions she describes in her upcoming book: “No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong with Politics and…
