These protests do not liberate anyone. They endanger the public and represent a tiny minority of Americans: 76 percent support keeping social distancing in place, and 85 percent are afraid that they or someone they know will get COVID-19. Despite a lack of popular support, protests are funded and coordinated by a handful of longtime conservative activists, including the DeVos family and other major Trump donors. President Donald Trump’s recent Twitter outburst to “liberate” states is part of his erratic guidance for when governors should reopen....
A day after lawmakers overwhelmingly voted to pass the bipartisan deal, Trump branded it a “disgrace” on Tuesday and demanded the bill be amended to include $2,000 stimulus checks. His Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, who led negotiations on behalf of the White House, had said $600 stimulus checks from the relief bill would be sent out at the beginning of next week. But it’s almost certain that won’t be possible, with House Republicans expected to block a proposal House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will put forward Thursday on raising stimulus payments....

Federal regulators had given the go-ahead for the proposed ban, which was aimed at curbing the use of e-cigarettes among millions of teenagers and would have seen candy-, fruit- and mint-flavored vaping products taken off the shelves.

Trump was impeached by the House of Representatives for a historic second time in January, following the deadly insurrection at the Capitol. This time around, there are a few key differences from his first trial. In 2020, senators weren’t also victims of Trump’s actions that led to his impeachment, he was still in office, and Republicans didn’t face repercussions for breaking with the majority of the party. “Let’s understand the whole context....

They then left for the airport.” Embattled rapper Kanye West, who legally changed his name to Ye, has told a slightly different version of the story....
The former president shared the results of a recent Zogby Poll on Truth Social on Wednesday that indicated that he is still an overwhelming favorite to clinch the Republican nomination should he choose to run. The survey shows Trump has the backing of nearly 54 percent of votes from Republican primary voters—just under five times the amount that second place DeSantis received (11.5 percent). DeSantis and Trump have long been considered to be the main frontrunners who will throw their hats in the ring for a 2024 run, with the former president dominating almost every poll in which the two are a hypothetical match-up in a GOP primary....
