Trump hit with mega fine in fraud case

Judge Arthur Engoron handed down a $355 million judgment against former president Donald Trump in his civil real estate fraud case in New York. Engoron held that Trump inflated the value of his assets in obtaining bank loans.The case seemed doomed from the start for the former president as Engoron, before the trial began, accepted a valuation that determined Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort was only worth $18 million. This was a laughably absurd assertion, as Mar-a-Lago sits on wildly attractive oceanfront property in Palm Beach, Florida — the land value alone would be worth far more than $18 million.

How Chuck Schumer is interfering in the Montana GOP Senate primary

Every two years, Chuck Schumer’s Senate Majority PAC and its allies come up with cunning ways to get Democrats over the finish line. The latest instance can be seen in Montana, where a group with virtually no online presence has already spent almost $5 million attacking the GOP’s preferred candidate, former Navy SEAL Tim Sheehy.  Last Best Place PAC, formed last September, has spent almost the same amount as Democratic incumbent Jon Tester has in his reelection bid, according to AdImpact’s tracking. The Democrats’ pro-Tester and anti-Sheehy spending more than doubles the GOP’s spending so far.

Republicans spitting feathers over McCarthy’s ouster and Mace’s betrayal

Et tu, Nancy Mace? The iconoclastic congresswoman from South Carolina put one of eight nails in Kevin McCarthy’s speakership — prompting a series of cascading events beyond any one person’s control and total uncertainty in the continuity of America’s government. Mace, first elected to Congress with support to the tune of over $4 million from McCarthy’s Congressional Leadership Fund, undertook quite a heel-turn from January, where she labeled her partner-in-chaos Matt Gaetz a “fraud” to today, when she teamed up with Gaetz and every single House Democrat to jettison McCarthy, leaving the country in uncharted waters and the House without a speaker.
