The eye-popping judgment against former President Trump in his New York fraud case has laid bare his precarious financial status, a matter that has sent the notoriously incensed real estate mogul off the rails.
In Truth Social posts, Trump has laid out mini diatribes lambasting the judge and attorney general in the case, claiming they want to swindle him out of precisely the amount of cash he has on hand to the tune of half a billion dollars. |

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s impending announcement of his running mate is threatening to roil the 2024 presidential race, with allies and observers saying it could give him a cash influx as well as a major boost of momentum as he looks to get on more state ballots.
Kennedy's decision to unveil his vice-presidential pick next Tuesday shows a longevity to his bid that many Democrats hoped would have fizzled out by now. Announcing a running mate means the independent candidate has met a necessary benchmark required by two dozen states to be listed on the ballot, something that will bring even more attention to his campaign. |

President Biden's campaign is stepping up efforts to reach voters of color ahead of a November showdown with former President Trump and amid signs that some Black and Latino voters are turning away from the Democratic Party. President Biden's campaign last week launched ads speaking directly to Black voters in battleground states, arguing another Trump term would be a "disaster" for the demographic. A day later, the campaign announced a program to engage Latino voters — and Biden said during a campaign stop in Arizona that they're "the reason why, in large part, I beat Donald Trump." |

Judicial whiplash over Texas's controversial new immigration law has delayed its implementation, but potentially not its political effects. S.B. 4 is the latest in a string of local- and state-level immigration crackdowns that goes back at least to California's Proposition 187, a 1994 ballot measure supported by then-Gov. Pete Wilson (R) that deputized individual Californians to report anyone suspected of being undocumented to immigration authorities. |

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) said that Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) "unleashed the demons" when he spearheaded an effort last year to oust former Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) from his leadership post. Gingrich was responding to a question from Fox host Laura Ingraham on why some House Republicans, like Reps. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) and Mike Gallagher (R-Wisc.), have been leaving Congress before their terms ended. |

Michael Cohen, the ex-personal attorney of former President Trump, slammed the Department of Justice (DOJ) for a lack of transparency in the New York hush money case ahead of a hearing Monday. Cohen, Trump's former fixer, joined MSNBC's "The Weekend" Saturday where he said he is "very angry" that there's been "absolute silence" to his request for documents in the case, while his former boss puts in a request and "all of a sudden" documents appear. |

| Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.) and his Republican challenger David McCormick are the only candidates that will appear on the Pennsylvania Senate ballot, the state's highest court ruled Friday. The ruling boots several other challengers from appearing on the ticket and was a successful challenge to having the relatively unknown candidates appear on the primary ticket next month, The Associated Press reported. |

President Biden signed the $1.2 trillion spending package into law Saturday afternoon. "The bipartisan funding bill I just signed keeps the government open, invests in the American people, and strengthens our economy and national security," Biden wrote after signing the bill. "This agreement represents a compromise, which means neither side got everything it wanted." |

| More than 130 people were killed Friday in an attack at a concert hall near Moscow, according to officials. Russian authorities have detained 11 people related to the incident, including four who were directly involved in the deadliest act of terrorism in Russia's capital city for over a decade. |

| OPINION | You see an endless stream of cat videos and makeup tutorials. But the American government sees a credible threat to its national security. And rightfully so. TikTok is already being used by the Chinese government to extend its foreign influence in the West. It's high time the U.S. did something about it, after mostly avoiding the problem for years. What it did, of course, was pass a bill last week in the House of Representatives to ban TikTok, unless its Chinese parent company, ByteDance Ltd, divests its American business interests. |
OPINION | The College Board dropped the acronym "Scholastic Aptitude Test" in 1997, making the SAT stand for nothing. Fast forward to the pandemic, when colleges and universities nationwide adopted test-optional applications. Those changes continued well past Covid-19's peak, suggesting a widespread belief that standardized tests hold little value. |

American officials attribute Friday's attack in a Moscow suburb, which killed at least 133 people, to a branch of the Islamic State active in Iran and Afghanistan. |

A bipartisan coalition has been needed to pass key bills, while GOP's thin majority puts Republican agenda at risk |
Kate, the Princess of Wales, has disclosed that she has cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy — though in a video announcement Friday, she did not say what kind of cancer or reveal details of her treatment. |
The bills are mushrooming in an era when the Supreme Court has expanded the rights of religious people and groups in the public square and weakened historic protections meant to keep the government from endorsing religion. |
