For months Trump has repeatedly hinted at launching another presidential campaign, likely teeing up a rematch against Democrat President Joe Biden. While Trump has yet to make any formal announcement, doing so would force him to adhere to strict campaign finance laws he’s made his interest crystal clear.

“Rules for thee, not for me,” while this quote didn’t come from Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) it certainly applies to her. For the second time, Ocasio-Cortez has decided to flout congressional financial disclosure laws but this time she is openly admitting to it. Ocasio-Cortez was required by federal law to submit her 2021 finances to the House Ethics Committee 11 days ago on Aug. 13 but has yet to do so. However, when reporters reach out to AOC’s office about the blunder — instead of immediately moving to correct what could have been a clerical oversight — a spokesperson doubled down on…

Bush, and Barack Obama. “California will now be the only government in the world that mandates zero-emission…

(RELATED: Trump Confirms ‘Large Group of FBI Agents’ Raided Mar-a-Lago) The raid reportedly focused on recovering presidential records previously requested by the National Archives earlier this year. Following the National Archives’ request, the Justice Department referred the matter to the FBI, whose agents confiscated 15 boxes of materials and cracked open Trump’s safe.

A new Axios/Ipsos poll reveals only 51% of Latinos say the country should prioritize helping migrants who enter the U.S. The results directly contradict claims from the Biden administration, which has chosen to prioritize relaxing restrictions at the border, to disastrous ends.

June marked the…
