Democrats are seeking to make new Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) a boogeyman going into next year's general election, citing his conservative voting record in the House.

Michael Cohen once said he'd take a bullet for Donald Trump. But the drastic change between then and now was made apparent when the onetime fixer and personal attorney testified last week as a key witness in the fraud trial that could take down Trump's business empire.

OPINION | As someone who grew up in abject poverty and was homeless often as a child, I have never been a fan of macro solutions to the problems that plague humanity. It may be a great way to fundraise, but it generally does little to solve the crisis being exploited. |
