Musk, quite possibly the world’s richest man (Vladimir Putin’s net worth remains a matter of speculation), indicated that he’d throw his considerable resources behind the ascendant Florida governor. The announcement no doubt comes as a blow to former President Donald Trump, who recently announced his own presidential aspirations. NBC News reports: DeSantis earlier this month defeated Democratic opponent Charlie Crist by nearly 20 percentage points to be re-elected as Florida governor and cemented himself as the Republican Party’s top rising star.…

The United States Supreme Court has given the green light to release former President Donald Trump’s tax records to the Democratic-led House Ways and Means Committee. The committee has long argued that it’s necessary to obtain said records to review how the IRS audits presidential tax returns. https://twitter.com/kyledcheney/status/1595140046205911040 Trump’s financial records were set to be turned over to the Ways and Means Committee before the midterms.

According to The New York Times, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) is seriously looking at filing criminal charges against former President Donald Trump. Bragg is investigating Trump’s $130,000 hush-money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels on the eve of the 2016 presidential election. Daniels claimed to have slept with the future president.

Despite that, Bragg and his deputies…

The Daily Wire reports: “If we narrow our focus there, then we’re not talking to every single American,” Noem said, according to The New York Times. “Our…

A blue wave in Colorado nearly swept Rep. Lauren Boebert out of Congress. Fortunately, for the American First movement and Boebert’s MAGA supporters, she’s apparently survived a razor-thin election. Democrat Adam Frisch trails Boebert by roughly 500 votes, within the margin necessary to trigger a recount. But after calling Boebert to concede, Frisch told reporters, “the likelihood of this recount changing more than a handful of votes is very small.’ https://twitter.com/laurenboebert/status/1593675506712338432 The Hill further reports: “We are not asking for this recount. It is one that the citizens of Colorado mandate through our election system,” he said, telling supporters not to…
