As hundreds of international climate scientists predict global warming will blaze past a dangerous threshold, the oil and gas industry is preparing for a potential second Donald Trump presidency with a slate of executive orders ready to be signed on Day One.
Politico spoke with a half-dozen lawyers and lobbyists within the fossil fuel industry who said executive orders were being drafted in case Trump is re-elected. The goal of the orders would be to roll back some of the Biden administration’s most progressive environmental regulations, such as halting natural gas export permits,...

Former President Donald Trump mocked Democratic Sen. Jon Tester’s (D-Montana) weight, stating that he “looks pregnant.”
Trump made these remarks on May 4 during a private fundraising event at his Mar-a-Lago resort for Rep. Ronnie Jackson (R-Texas), who had been the former president’s White House physician. Tester helped torpedo Jackson’s nomination for Veteran’s Secretary during the Trump administration.
“He’s now in a tough campaign, and he could very well lose,” Trump stated about Tester. “We ought to go up and campaign against him. In fact, I looked at him and I said, ‘Oh, this finally works for a man or woman, because he looks pregnant to me.'”
The audience laughed as the former president kept speaking.
“Have you seen this guy? He doesn’t look like a fat guy, except his stomach is out to here,” Trump mentioned while making hand gestures. “Not that...

When “A People’s History of Black Twitter” was published in 2021, the social media platform appeared powerful as ever. As it had been for over a decade, the site was a hub of community and influence, where users might go to bullshit with friends, to organize with activists, to read and report news in real time, maybe even to mingle with a celebrity or two. Sure, it had its problems with trolls or bots or poor moderation; sure, TikTok was already moving in fast. But Twitter seemed to be, if not thriving, at least chugging along with no obvious end in sight.
A lot can change in three years, however — and a lot has, particularly since Elon Musk’s acquisition of the site in 2022.

Joe Biden sat for an interview with a mainstream, national news outlet, — a not-too-common occurrence. And while the clear intent in his chat with CNN’s Erin Burnett was to show a contrast with Donald Trump on the economy, the headline was what the president said about Israel.
“I made it clear that if they go into Rafah — they haven’t gone into Rafah yet — but if they go into Rafah , I am not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, that deal with the cities, that deal with that problem,” Biden said. “We’re going to continue to make sure Israel is secure in terms of Iron Dome and their ability to respond to attacks… but it’s just wrong. We are not going to supply the weapons and artillery shells that have been used” by the Israelis.

Marjorie Taylor Greene forced a vote to remove House Speaker Mike Johnson on Wednesday evening, a move her colleagues in Congress quickly voted to kill.
The House voted 359-43 to table the motion, with 193 Republicans siding with 163 Democrats in striking it down.
Greene has been teasing that she will force a vote to oust Johnson despite garnering virtually no support for the move, and former President Donald Trump reportedly telling her over the weekend to drop the stunt. She seemed ready to do so yesterday, but went ahead and forced the vote on Wednesday.

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem embarked this week on one of the more tumultuous book tours in recent memory, as she was peppered with questions about an anecdote about killing her dog Cricket, and another story about meeting North Korean leader Kim Jung Un. Major doubts were raised that the latter story was true.
As she sought to promote No Going Back, she was peppered with questions in interviews with mainstream outlets like Face the Nation and NewsNation, but some of the most contentious Q&a have been with those on the right, like Fox News’ Stuart Varney and Newsmax.

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has disclosed a series of health issues he has faced in recent years, one of which involves a worm-like parasite that entered his brain but ultimately died.
Kennedy, 70, recounted his severe memory loss and mental fog in 2010, which prompted him to consult renowned neurologists familiar with his late uncle Sen. Ted Kennedy’s medical history. After a brain scan, a New York doctor suggested that Kennedy’s health problems could potentially be attributed to a worm that had entered his brain and consumed a portion of it before it died. In a deposition related to his divorce from his second wife, Mary Richardson Kennedy, in 2012, Kennedy expressed that these cognitive issues had negatively impacted his earning potential.
In that same period, Kennedy also experienced mercury poisoning, a condition associated with neurological symptoms such as peripheral vision loss, muscle weakness, movement difficulties, hearing and speech impairment,...

Jeremy Strong could be joining Jeremy Allen White in “Deliver Me From Nowhere,” the 20th Century Studios movie about Bruce Springsteen and the making of his 1982 album, “Nebraska.”
The “Succession” star is in talks to play Springsteen’s (White) longtime manager Jon Landau in the Scott Cooper-directed feature. Cooper is also writing the film, which is based on Warren Zane’s 2023 book “Deliver Me From Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska.”
“Nebraska,” the follow-up to Springsteen’s 1980 double album “The River,” was expected to be a blockbuster rock record with the E Street Band. Instead, it was a stripped-down solo album made on a four-track recorder. The book tells the story of Springsteen’s artistic journey in the creation of the record.

Adult film actress Stormy Daniels testified on Tuesday in a Manhattan court and recounted salacious details of her alleged affair with Donald Trump.
Daniels, who spoke rapidly with animated gestures, described an encounter in which she spanked Trump with a rolled-up magazine with his face on the cover. The vivid description of the occasion in her testimony led to visible smirks from some jurors. It elicited a reported profanity from Trump, who mouthed his disapproval, ‘That’s bull—-,’ to his legal team.
Throughout Daniels’ testimony, Trump was visibly frustrated and shook his head in disagreement. Daniels claimed that Trump had reassured her not to worry about his wife, Melania, as they didn’t “even sleep in the same room.” This statement seemed to agitate the former president further, who exhibited signs of anger and was later cautioned by Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan for his audible curse and head shakes,...

According to the Times, in a 2012 deposition related to divorce proceedings against his second wife, Rfk Jr. detailed a litany of health concerns he said would diminish his future earnings potential. Among these was an incident in which Kennedy’s doctors identified a dark spot in one of his brain scans after he raised concerns of memory fog and impaired cognitive ability.

Former President Donald Trump plans on having the “largest mass deportation effort ever” if he is reelected as president, he told Time magazine recently. Since his 2016 campaign and presidency, Trump has taken a muscular approach to immigration, starting with his promise to “build the wall,” which barely made any progress during his term.
Trump’s new plan would target millions of undocumented migrants across the United States. Efforts are comparable to former President Dwight Eisenhower’s “Operation Wetback” in 1954, which deported over one million migrants. The resources Trump needs for such a large-scale operation have been unclear.
The former president has said he intends to utilize local law enforcement and the National Guard. Former Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said such efforts would require expanding Ice, collaborating with the State Department and getting more funding from Congress.

Republican Arizona Senate Candidate Kari Lake has flipped her position on the state’s 1864 abortion ban – for a second time, stating that it is “unfortunate” that Arizona is not enforcing the law.
On April 9, the Arizona Supreme Court issued a ruling to reinstate the ban, which resulted in instant position changes among Republicans who previously backed it, including Lake.
The Court overturned a 2022 law that permitted abortions up to 15 weeks, clearing the way for an 1864 ban that forbids the procedure except when needed to save the mother’s life.
The state’s highest Court first heard arguments on the case in December 2023 after the Arizona Court of Appeals determined that the two inconsistent abortion bans needed to be in harmony.
In a 4-2 decision, the justices said that the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the federal law that safeguarded abortion rights until viability, meant that there was no longer...

As Stormy Daniels took the stand in Donald Trump’s hush money trial today, the judge in the case complained to the former president’s lawyer that he could hear his client “cursing audibly” about what was being said.
The judge, Juan Merchan, even suggested that Trump’s behavior put him again at risk of contempt of court.
“I understand that your client is upset at this point, but he is cursing audibly, and he is shaking his head visually and that’s contemptuous,” Merchan told Trump’s lawyer, Todd Blanche, according to a transcript of a sidebar conversation between the two.
Merchan added, “It has to potential to intimidate the witness and the jury can see that.”
Blanche said that he would talk to Trump. The judge said that he wanted to speak to Blanche and not to Trump directly “because I don’t want to embarrass him.”

Update: Stormy Daniels faced a contentious cross examination today over her claim that she had sex with Donald Trump in 2006 and that, five years later, a stranger threatened her in a Las Vegas parking lot to not talk about the sexual encounter publicly.
Susan Necheles, a lawyer for Trump, questioned Daniels’ motivations and tried to cast doubt on her story. She also highlighted the fact that Daniels owes more than $500,000 in legal fees from a failed defamation lawsuit against Trump.
Necheles argued that as far back as 2011, Daniels was alternately confirming or denying sex with Trump depending on whether she was being paid for her story.
A $130,000 payment to Daniels in 2016 from Trump’s lawyer, Michael Cohen, is the centerpiece of the Manhattan District Attorney’s case against Trump, for allegedly falsifying business records to conceal a reimbursement of the money to Cohen. Daniels, a key prosecution witness, spent more...

Donald Trump‘s trial start date over his mishandling of classified documents has been pushed back thanks to a Florida judge overseeing the case. On Tuesday, District Judge Aileen M. Cannon indefinitely postponed the trial, previously scheduled for May 20, increasing the odds that Trump’s hush money trial in New York may be the only one he faces prior to the election in November.
In her order Tuesday, Cannon made it clear that she intends to resolve multiple pending pre-trial issues that both parties will have to meet before a new trial date is set.

Donald Trump’s trial on charges that he obstructed justice and withheld classified documents has been delayed indefinitely, a federal judge wrote in an order today.
The decision by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon means that it is all the more likely that Trump’s hush money trial may be the only criminal proceeding he faces before the November election. Last year, Trump was indicted four separate times in cases in New York, Florida, Georgia and Washington, D.C.
Cannon wrote that the “finalization of a trial date at this juncture” would be “imprudent and inconsistent with the Court’s duty to fully and fairly consider the various pending pre-trial motions before the Court, critical [Classified Information Procedures Act] issues, and additional pretrial and trial preparations necessary to present this case to a jury.”

The offices of Jimmy Kimmel Live! must be abuzz today.
For the second time in less than a week, Jimmy Kimmel and his late-night show were brought up in former President Donald Trump’s ongoing hush money trial.
Stormy Daniels took the stand at Trump’s trial today, where she was asked during her testimony about her January 2018 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.
It was in that interview that Kimmel brought up a letter Daniels had allegedly signed denying she had an affair with Trump. When Kimmel asked whether the signature was authentic, Daniels gave a cagey reply that implied that it wasn’t.
Kimmel’s interview was first brought up in court on May 2nd when the prosecution entered into evidence text messages that Trump’s then-attorney Michael Cohen sent to Stormy Daniels’ lawyer Keith Davidson. In the texts, Cohen reacted with concern to Daniels’ appearance on Kimmel’s show.

In a surprising moment during a regularly scheduled press briefing about public safety statistics, the Columbia University protests, migrant centers, the proliferation of illegal weed shops and Mayor Eric Adams’ upcoming trip to meet the Pope in Rome, a curveball question pressed Adams on the possible, if unlikely, jailing of former President Donald Trump.
Asked whether New York City’s Rikers Island complex would be prepared to handle the jailing of Trump, or if the city had any plans in place for such a situation, Adams said the city’s corrections officials “will be ready.”
“Our amazing [Department of Corrections Commissioner Lynelle Maginley-Liddie], she is prepared for whatever comes on Rikers Island,” Adams told reporters. “I’m pretty sure she would be prepared to manage and deal with the situation.

Sen. Tim Scott (R-South Carolina) would not commit to accepting the outcome of the 2024 presidential election in a new interview. The South Carolina senator is on former President Donald Trump’s vice presidential shortlist.
On Sunday, Meet the Press host Kristen Welker asked Scott, “You voted to certify the election results of 2020. It’s the opposite of what you said and did after 2020. Why would you want to be on a ticket with someone where there’s such a fundamental difference?”
“There is clear facts here,” Scott replied. “President Trump himself said he expects this election to be fair. He expects it to be honest. And he expects to win. That’s what the presidential candidate should expect. And I expect the exact same thing. And frankly, the American people agree with him. This is an issue that is not an issue. So I’m not going to make it an issue.

Hugely popular social media platform TikTok and its Chinese parent ByteDance sued the U.S. government after a recent law passed by Congress and signed by President Biden just weeks ago that gives the company about nine months to sell TikTok or face a ban in U.S. app stores.
TikTok says the new law violates the U.S. Constitution and its First Amendment rights. The suit, or petition, filed with the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., was not unexpected as ByteDance has said it has no intention of selling TikTok and vowed to fight. TikTok insists that its U.S. user date is protected.
“There is no question: the Act will force a shutdown of TikTok by January 19, 2025,” the lawsuit states, “silencing the 170 million Americans who use the platform to communicate in ways that cannot be replicated elsewhere,” the suit says. “For the first time in history,...

Joe Biden sharply condemned the rise of antisemitism in the United States, including incidents that have played out on college campuses amid pro-Palestinian protests.
Speaking at a Capitol Hill event to commemorate Holocaust Remembrance Day, Biden also warned that “people are already forgetting” that it was Hamas “that unleashed this terror” in the attack on Israel on Oct. 7.
“It was Hamas who brutalized Israelis. It was Hamas who took and continues to hold hostages,” Biden said. “I have not forgotten nor have you, and we will not forget.”
Cable news networks carried Biden’s remarks, briefly breaking away from coverage of Stormy Daniels’ testimony in Donald Trump’s hush money case.
Biden’s comments underscored his continued commitment to Israel even as he pointed out that the United States has had sharp disagreements, including the way that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has carried out his counter-offensive in Gaza. Biden’s...

The hosts of The View had no sympathy for Donald Trump over his complaints about being under a gag order. In fact, their fiery discussion of the matter led to a full-throated discussion of which prisons certain cohosts want to see him sent to. “He was out there whining outside — he is such a snowflake!” Whoopi Goldberg said while introducing the segment. She went on to mock Trump, groaning, “‘Oh my gosh, they’re so mean to me!'” before continuing. “He was whining outside the courtroom yesterday about the judge threatening to throw him in the clink if he keeps violating the gag order.

Stormy Daniels took the stand at Donald Trump’s ongoing criminal hush-money trial on Tuesday, and even the former president seemed caught off guard by the news.
Trump posted — then quickly deleted — a furious rant about the prosecution’s plan to call Daniels shortly before The Associated Press reported on it ahead of Tuesday’s proceedings.
“I have just recently been told who the witness is today. This is unprecedented, no time for lawyers to prepare,” the former president wrote. “No Judge has ever run a trial in such a biased and partisan way.

Apparently, Melania Trump really didn’t think much of the cheating allegations that were brought on by an adult film star, who says that she had a relationship with Donald Trump back in 2005. This was the same year that Melania had just given birth to their son, Barron.
Stephanie says that she was worried sick about Melania and the rumors, but the former model didn’t seem to be too worried. Instead, she just wanted to have lunch and talk about normal day to day stuff.
Stephanie even said on X, “It’s an unconventional marriage & she’s complicit.

We All Get 10 Practice Contempt Charges, Right?
As admirably as Judge Juan Merchan has scoffed at Donald Trump’s legal team and its increasingly ridiculous and sweaty excuses for their client’s flagrant flouting of the gag order against him, the fact that Trump was issued his tenth contempt of court judgement on Monday for attacking the jurors and officers of the court in his criminal trial had late-night hosts looking for new ways to express their incredulity. With the judge putting it in writing that the next violation will quite probably mean jail time for Trump, at least that mental picture seemed to jazz up the hosts, with Jimmy Kimmel looking eagerly forward to the inevitable, noting, “It’s like trying to get a dog to stop licking itself.

The judge in Trump’s hush money case, Juan Merchan, also warned the former president of possible jail time.
“The last thing I want to do is put you in jail,” Merchan said. “You are the former president of the United States and possibly the next president as well.”
To jail him, Merchan said, “would be disruptive to the proceedings,” adding that it would pose a challenge as well for the Secret Service.

While this all went down in 2016, Donald Trump’s court case has only begun this past month, which means Melania is having to deal with the humiliation all over again.

Jeffrey Katzenberg is a man known for choosing his words very carefully most of the time, and tonight the WndrCo boss was pretty candid when it came to Donald Trump and Joe Biden.

“I’ve known Joe Biden for 40 years, maybe 45 years,” the Biden/Harris campaign co-chair added in contrast. “He is actually one of the most decent human beings I know.”

Even by his extreme rhetorical standard, Donald Trump has ramped up his criticism of his opponent, Joe Biden in recent weeks. Trump recently declared that Jimmy Carter’s presidency was “brilliant” in comparison to Biden‘s, calling him, for good measure, the “worst president” in American history.
While speaking to reporters outside a bodega in Harlem, New York, where a clerk stabbed an ex-convict in self-defense in 2022, Trump shared these remarks.
“Biden is the worst president in the history of our country,” Trump said. He went on to say that Biden is “worse than Jimmy Carter by a long shot.”
Trump suggested that Carter would perceive his presidency positively when considering the current president’s performance.
Days before Trump paid tribute to Carter’s late wife, Rosalynn Carter, he made similar remarks about Biden and Carter during a rally in Fort Dodge, Iowa, on November 18, 2023.
“[Biden is] incompetent,” he said at the time.
