Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert is laying low after her and her guest’s disruptive behavior at a performance of “Beetlejuice,” the musical. Police officers prodded Boebert out of Denver’s Buell Theatre after she refused to stop vaping despite a pregnant woman’s plea. She also took photos, sang, danced and got extremely handsy with her date during the performance, leading to multiple complaints. Boebert eventually left, but only after asking staff if they knew who she was, threatening to complain to the mayor of Denver and giving ushers the bird. A spokesperson for Boebert initially denied the allegations, claiming the smoke from…

Prosecutors with the special counsel’s office have asked Judge Tanya Chutkan for a gag order to restrict former President Donald Trump from making public statements about prospective witnesses in the election interference case, which they state could be intimidating.

In it, prosecutors assess that “The defendant’s past conduct, including conduct that has taken place after and as a direct result of the indictment in this case, amply demonstrates the need for this order.” https://twitter.com/MuellerSheWrote/status/1702789989657104428 Trump responded on social media minutes later. https://twitter.com/baldwin_daniel_/status/1702816193852162080 Fox News has more: In a…

The French ambassador and other diplomats at that country’s embassy in Niger are “being held hostage,” according to President Emmanuel Macron. A coup upended the African nation this summer, and the hopes of the West that the democratically-elected government would return to power have dwindled. Per CNN: Speaking to journalists during a visit to the Côte D’Or region in France on Friday, Macron said that “food was prevented from being delivered” to the embassy in Niamey, and that the ambassador was “eating military rations.” The ambassador, Sylvain Itte, “cannot go out, he is persona non grata and he is being…

A new report published by the Daily Mail alleges South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) and former Trump campaign manager and confidant Corey Lewandowski have engaged in a clandestine affair dating back at least to 2019. Both Noem and Lewandowski are married. Given her emphasis on family values, some observers speculate the allegations could harm Noem’s chances of becoming Donald Trump’s running mate should he secure the Republican nomination. Lewandowski accompanied Trump to his rally in Rapid City last Friday but did not publicly interact with Noem. The pair decided to keep a wide berth after learning about the upcoming…

During the interview, Welker asked Trump about his indictment in the classified documents case.

Virginia Democrat Susanna Gibson is running neck and neck in one of the most competitive districts in this November’s state elections that will determine control of the Republican-held House of Delegates and the Democratic-run Senate of Virginia. Pundits consider their outcome intertwined with Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s political aspirations. Seizing control of both chambers of the state legislature will cement Youngkin’s status as a Republican star, capable of making consistent inroads in a blue-leaning state. But candidates like Gibson, a nurse practitioner and working mother of two, have given Republicans clinging to a narrow majority in the state house heartburn.…

A prisoner swap between the U.S. and Iran, finalized on Sept. 11, has faced increased scrutiny in the past two days. Following a blanket waiver from the Biden administration, international banks will release $6 billion in frozen Iranian oil profits. This was done for five American hostages who will be released in exchange for five Iranian nationals in U.S. custody. Despite supposed restrictions on the funds, critics believe unfreezing funds incentivizes future hostage-taken and could fund Tehran’s proxy wars. Although the White House dismissed that possibility, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi told NBC’s Lester Holt that Iran will spend the money…
