TUCSON, Ariz. — On the eve of the presidential debate, GOP Senate candidate Kari Lake decided to skip out on her own.The MAGA firebrand and frontrunner for her party’s Senate nomination in the key battleground state was invited to participate in a formal debate Wednesday night against her lone GOP primary competitor, Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb. She instead opted to host a Tucson town hall with a former UFC fighter, leaving Lamb alone on the debate stage.Lake’s campaign billed the event as a town hall for Republicans, independents and Democrats alike, as she looks ahead to a general election…
Donald Trump will likely claim that crime has risen during Joe Biden’s presidency — and try to tie it to a surge in migrants crossing into the US from Mexico — but crime across the country actually remains near historic lows.Spikes in homicide rates during the pandemic, particularly in major cities including Chicago and New York, garnered a lot of attention in 2020 and 2021, but have since been declining. In 2022, the most recent year for which nationwide data is available, there were 6.3 homicides per 100,000 people, down from 6.8 and 6.5 in 2020 and 2021, respectively, according to…
The Trump campaign has hit back at a group of Nobel Prize winning economists who issued a warning about the “risks” to the U.S. economy of a second term for former President Donald Trump.Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt told Newsweek that the American people don’t need “worthless out of touch” economists telling them which president “put more money in their pockets,” after 16 Nobel Prize winners said in a letter that “Joe Biden’s economic agenda is vastly superior to Donald Trump’s.” It comes less than five months before the presidential election, with Trump narrowly ahead in most polling…
Agricultural producers, scientists and policymakers from Colorado and Kansas gathered near the Ogallala Aquifer in Burlington on Wednesday to air their concerns and share ideas for how to survive continued drought. But it was hard to escape the Republican River Basin-shaped elephant in the room. The group convened at the behest of U.S. Sens. Michael Bennet, the Colorado Democrat who chairs the Conservation, Climate, Forestry, and Natural Resources subcommittee, and Roger Marshall, of Kansas, the ranking Republican member of the subcommittee. The location was poignant because it’s in a region where farmers over recent years have had to shut down…
The Supreme Court on Thursday issued four significant rulings, including overturning a Purdue Pharma bankruptcy plan that would have provided billions of dollars to help address the nation’s opioid crisis in exchange for protecting the family that owns the company from future lawsuits. It also ruled against in-house Securities and Exchange Commission tribunals, blocked an Environmental Protection Agency air-quality initiative while appeals continue and formally issued a decision allowing emergency abortions in Idaho while that case makes its way through the courts. Other decisions, including whether Donald Trump is immune from prosecution in his federal election-interference case, remain to be…
Editor’s Note: ASI Media is ramping up our coverage of election merch and will be reporting on both presidential candidates’ merch in the leadup to November, including an upcoming event for President Joe Biden. In 2016, former President Donald Trump made history with iconic red “Make America Great Again” caps that became reference points in America’s culture wars. Over the last two elections, Trump continued his strategic and prolific investment into merch. As rallies for the upcoming November election heat up, branded merch continues to play an outsized role. Consider the June 22 event held at Temple University, not too…
On June 19 every year, Americans observe Juneteenth. It is a civil rights milestone in remembrance of an order issued in Texas in 1865 to enforce Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation. Nearly a century later another civil rights milestone occurred in the United States Senate. In the early morning hours of June 11, 1964, Senators approved a cloture motion that effectively ended further debate on legislation to extend civil, political, and legal rights to black Americans. It was one of the most meaningful pieces of civil rights legislation since the twelve-year Reconstruction Era immediately following the end of the American civil…
Under the Biden administration, Solana (SOL) appears nowhere close to getting its own ETF in the U.S. But, according to market-making firm GSR, if Donald Trump retakes the White House, it might be closer than many observers think and price-wise have far more upside than bitcoin (BTC) did when its spot ETF debuted.The U.S. presidential election could provide a breakthrough for additional crypto ETFs like SOL, per the research note shared with CoinDesk. If Trump becomes president again, he could shake up the established playbook for launching crypto ETFs, which usually takes years and starts with the introduction of federally…
Donald Trump campaign senior adviser Chris LaCivita said that President Biden will “probably be filled with Adderall” at the June 27 first presidential debate — the latest suggestion from the former president’s camp that his opponent will be drugged up on stage. The Trump team also stressed that Biden will likely be “ready” for the debate due to his experience in office and his week-long stay at Camp David preparing with his closest advisers.

The U.S. House Agriculture Committee’s version of the farm bill will not get support from U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Lansing, who chairs the Senate committee responsible for handling the appropriations bill. Stabenow told the Michigan Advance after an event in Lansing Wednesday morning that this farm bill process has been the “most frustrating” of her career. “I’ve actually been involved in six farm bills and led on three of them, and this has been the most frustrating time,” said Stabenow, who chairs the U.S. Senate Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry Committee, and is retiring this term. “Because it’s so much more…
