Since former President Trump's conviction on 34 felony counts last week, he and his allies have had revenge on their mind.
Less than an hour after the verdict came in, Rep. Mike Collins (R-Ga.) posted on X that it was "Time for Red State AGs and DAs to get busy." |

A week after a New York jury found former President Trump guilty of falsifying business records, Democrats are torn over whether the conviction will help President Biden in November. Trump's campaign announced a $35 million fundraising haul after the guilty verdict and more than $140 million raised in May. Establishment Republicans like Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) are coming to his defense, supercharging the GOP support for him. |

Former President Trump is keeping Nevada Republicans on their toes as they await a potential endorsement in the state's all-important Senate race. The former president hasn't weighed in despite the primary taking place Tuesday. Republicans see the race for the party's nomination coming down to two candidates: Retired Army Capt. Sam Brown, who has been leading in polls, and former Ambassador to Iceland Jeff Gunter. |

New York Times political correspondent Maggie Haberman said she believes retribution against his political enemies is "very much a focal point" for former President Trump, whom she covers extensively, following his conviction in the Manhattan hush money case. CNN's Phil Mattingly questioned Haberman Friday on Trump's likely state of mind after he was found guilty on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to a payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels in 2016 to buy her silence over an alleged past affair, which he denies. |

| The judge overseeing former President Trump's hush money criminal case informed the parties Friday that a person on Facebook claimed to have advance knowledge of the verdict in the case. Judge Juan Merchan wrote to Trump's attorneys and the Manhattan district attorney's office that on May 29 — the day 12 New Yorkers began deliberating Trump's case and a day before he was convicted — a Facebook user left the comment on the New York State Unified Court System's page. |

| The House Rules Committee will consider a resolution to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress next week, potentially clearing the way for a full House vote on the lingering legislation. The Tuesday meeting could indicate a shift in GOP dynamics after at least two Republicans privately said they planned to vote against the resolution. |

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. went after President Biden Friday, after he invoked the Russia-Ukraine war in his D-Day anniversary remarks. In his speech Friday, Biden asked several hypothetical questions related to how the soldiers who fought in D-Day would react to the current situation in Eastern Europe. |

| OPINION | Governments around the world routinely request global social media and search platforms to remove content. This can be a positive thing if the content in question is clearly harmful. But it can be nefarious if the content is simply inconvenient or disagreeable to a government's viewpoint on a particular current news topic. |
OPINION | The Supreme Court likes to claim it ignores politics. But politics isn't going to ignore the Supreme Court. Now that Donald Trump's New York hush money trial is over, the big question is whether the former president will face trial in federal court before the November election. The case arising from his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election was set to go to trial back in March; Trump managed to avoid that trial date by claiming that presidents have absolute immunity from prosecution, a claim that is now before the Supreme Court. |

The militant group's leaders dug in after threats of arrest, sanctions and expulsion from Doha if they didn't reach a truce with Israel. Qatar and Egypt have told Hamas leaders in recent days that they face possible arrest, freezing of their assets, sanctions and expulsion from their haven in Doha if they don't agree to a cease-fire with Israel, officials familiar with the talks said. |
PRAGUE (AP) — Voters in Slovakia, Italy and other European Union nations are casting their ballots Saturday on the third day of elections for the European Parliament, with populist and far-right parties looking to make gains across the 27-member bloc. In Slovakia, the election was overshadowed by an attempt to assassinate populist Prime Minister Robert Fico on May 15, sending shockwaves through the nation of 5.4 million and reverberating throughout Europe. Analysts say the attack could boost the chances of the premier's leftist Smer (Direction) party, the senior partner in the governing coalition, to win the vote. |
A retired federal judge has delivered an unusually stark warning about the Supreme Court and the future of the planet and democracy, which he says is imperiled by a conservative majority that is amassing power for itself while weakening minority voting rights and making it harder for the federal government to protect the health and safety of Americans. |
