During a rally in Dayton, Ohio, last week, Former President Donald Trump declared that some illegal immigrants should not be considered people and warned that it will be a “bloodbath” if he does not get reelected.
“I don’t know if you call them people,” Trump stated at the rally. “In some cases, they’re not people, in my opinion. But I’m not allowed to say that because the radical left says that’s a terrible thing to say.”
Trump was in Ohio to campaign with Senate candidate Bernie Moreno, who went on to win the Republican nomination to challenge Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown.
Moreno, a businessman, faced a scandal when it was revealed that a profile on an adult website was linked to him seeking the company of “young men.”
“We don’t need to vote in five different languages,” he argued. “We learn the language. It means you assimilate.

Prominent Democratic consulting firms have been making bank on the crypto industry’s new super PACs. Now that those groups are setting their sights on the Senate races in Ohio and Montana, a scenario that could destroy Democrats’ majority, will those consultants stay aboard the crypto gravy train?
Political consulting is a mercenary business. It’s hardly surprising that major consulting firms would want a piece of the staggering sum — $85 million as of January — that crypto firms and investors have poured into three affiliated super PACs. Still, it’s hard...

Trump-backed Bernie Moreno won Ohio’s Republican US Senate primary on Tuesday, according to the Associated Press.
Moreno defeated state Senator Matt Dolan, a critic of the former president, and Secretary of State Frank Larose; he will now go head-to-head against the Democratic incumbent, Senator Sherrod Brown.
The victory for the wealthy former car dealer, who has never held elected office, comes as the former president’s grip on the Senate tightens. Brown is one of the two Democrats (the other is Montana Democrat Jon Tester) running for reelection in red states.

New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez is facing a rapidly growing number of calls from his Democratic colleagues to resign from office following a damning indictment on charges of corruption and bribery.
On Wednesday, Menendez pleaded not guilty to the charges during his arraignment in Manhattan court.
The indictment, which was made public on Friday, was initially met with widespread silence from Senate Democrats, save for Pennsylvania’s John Fetterman, who on Saturday called for Menendez’s resignation. “Senator Menendez should resign,” he wrote. “He’s entitled to the presumption of innocence,...

Welcome to the 19th installment of Deadline’s Strike Talk podcast. It is a task Oscar-nominated filmmaker Billy Ray took on at the beginning of the Writers Guild strike against AMPTP, and who knew he would be engaged in it longer than it would have taken him to shoot a picture.
Today, Ray presses on the theme of the “Pyrrhic victory,” so named for King Pyrrhus of Epirus, whose lust for power brought victories in war that so cost his troops that they could only be considered losses. This culminated in his battles to defeat Rome, which became his undoing. Ray likens this to the current strike and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers’ unwillingness to recognize that the WGA and SAG-AFTRA aren’t caving in this point of inflection, and that they had better return to the table with deals that reflect the tectonic shifts in tech and streaming,...

Updated, 11:58 Am: Eric Garcetti was confirmed by the Senate as the next U.S. ambassador to India, nearly two years after he was first nominated.
His efforts to win confirmation were stalled last year, amid allegations that he knew of sexual harassment complaints against a top aide but did not take action. Garcetti denied those allegations, but it created divisions within the Democratic caucus.
The Senate voted 52-42 for confirmation, with seven Republicans in support and three Democrats against.
Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-oh), Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-hi) and Sen. Mark Kelly (D-az) voted against the nomination. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-sc), Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-tn), Sen. Susan Collins (R-me), Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mt), Sen. Todd Young (R-In), Sen. Roger Marshall (R-ks) and Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-la) supported the nomination.

Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown said there is “no question” that Norfolk Southern is fully responsible for the train derailment in his home state of Ohio that killed three people and left a community in fear for their health and safety. The train was carrying vinyl chloride and other carcinogens, and residents are concerned that the chemicals are leaching into the surrounding water, soil, and air.
Brown blamed Norfolk Southern for laying off vital workers, prioritizing profit over caution, and lobbying for lax safety regulations — all of which he said contributed to the crash.

Sam Bankman-Fried — the cryptocurrency entrepreneur who has struggled to control the narrative and dispel suspicions of fraud after his Ftx exchange collapsed in early November — has agreed to be extradited to the United States after being arrested and jailed in the Bahamas, The New York Times reports.
On Monday, Dec. 19, Jerone Roberts — a local defense lawyer for Bankman-Fried — told reporters that Bankman-Fried’s extradition agreement was voluntary, eschewing “the strongest possible legal advice.”

Democrat Tim Ryan’s efforts to capture a U.S. Senate seat in Ohio ended in defeat on Tuesday night as Ryan lost to Republican J.D. Vance.
To many Democrats, Ohio looked like a lost cause. To Ryan, it was the Democrats, not Ohio, who were lost. His party had a branding problem, Ryan reasoned, one that had alienated the working-class voters in his Youngstown-based congressional district. Those voters had cast their ballots for both Donald Trump and Ryan in 2020, and Ryan had bet his run for U.S. Senate...

In his first television interview since leaving the White House, President Donald Trump‘s former chief strategist Steve Bannon appeared on Sunday’s 60 Minutes, where he asserted that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is “not very bright.”
“Everybody says she’s so smart, so much smarter than Donald Trump,” Bannon said of Trump’s 2016 presidential rival. “She doesn’t really have a grasp. She doesn’t have a grasp on what’s important and what’s not. And that’s what’s essential in a leader.”

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders took to the Senate floor on Wednesday to recite the Coretta Scott King letter his colleague Sen. Elizabeth Warren was banned from reading.
Calling it “an outrage” that Republican senators voted to silence Warren Tuesday night after she quoted Martin Luther King Jr.’s widow in a speech opposing attorney general nominee Sen. Jeff Sessions, Sanders said, “We need to hear all points of view. The idea that … a letter that wrote could not be presented and spoken about here on the Senate floor is to me incomprehensible.”

File this under: “Things that make you go, huh?” Just as Hillary Clinton attacked Bernie Sanders for not doing “his homework” when it comes to taking on the financial industry and its big banks, a group of former government officials — once in charge of regulating Wall Street and now working in the financial industry — are holding a fundraiser in her honor in Washington, DC. The Intercept reports the April 6 fundraiser described as a “conversation” with “Hillary for America” financial officer Gary Gensler and Sens. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, and Carl Levin, D-Mich, is basically a who’s who of Washington elites either advocating for corporate clients.

During the 2014 Senate race, most political candidates ignored YouTube in favor of traditional TV ads. Even so, some members of the government agency responsible for regulating campaign finances believe online video ads need more oversight. Ann Ravel, the Vice Chairwoman of the Federal Election Commission (Fec), recently issued a statement urging regulators to subject online political ads to the same standards applied to political ads on TV. Ravel specifically cited a case involving several ads from the 2012 election cycle, which were run by a group called Checks and Balances for Economic Growth. Those ads, which attacked Democrats, did not include all the necessary disclaimers at the end of each video. Checks and Balances for Economic Growth responded by stating it was exempt from those regulations since it had only run the ads on YouTube and did not broadcast them on TV. This video, from what seems to be Check and Balances' official YouTube home,...
