By MEG KINNARD, HOLLY RAMER and JILL COLVIN (Associated Press) SALEM, N.H. (AP) — Former President Donald Trump kicked off his 2024 White House bid with a stop Saturday in New Hampshire before heading to South Carolina, events in early-voting states marking the first campaign appearances since announcing his latest run more than two months ago. “We’re starting right here as a candidate for president,” Trump told party leaders at the New Hampshire GOP’s annual meeting in Salem before a late afternoon stop in Columbia to introduce his South Carolina leadership team. “I’m more angry now and I’m more committed now than I ever was.” Trump and his allies hope the events in states with enormous power in selecting the nominee will offer a show of force behind the former president after a sluggish start to his campaign that left many questioning his commitment to running again. In recent weeks, his backers have reached out to political operatives and elected officials to secure support … [Read more...] about Trump opens 2024 run, says he’s ‘more committed’ than ever

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 7 HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Republican lawmakers who have spread election conspiracy theories and falsely claimed that the 2020 presidential outcome was rigged are overseeing legislative committees charged with setting election policy in two major political battleground states. Divided government in Pennsylvania and Arizona means that any voting restrictions those GOP legislators propose is likely to fail. Even so, the high-profile appointments give the lawmakers a platform to cast further doubt on the integrity of elections in states that will be pivotal in selecting the next president in 2024. Awarding such plum positions to lawmakers who have repeated conspiracies and spread misinformation cuts against more than two years of evidence showing there were no widespread problems or fraud in the last presidential election. It also would appear to run counter to the … [Read more...] about Election-denying lawmakers hold key election oversight roles

Speaking at the Steamfitters Local 602 in Springfield on Thursday, Biden made multiple claims about the current state of the economy that have fact-checkers — from both CNN and the House Ways and Means Committee — sounding the alarm.

DON’T think I heard the word “narcissist” until a few years ago. And if I did, I probably didn’t pay it much ­attention. It sounded so extreme, so drastic and so severe. Is it me or do I hear the word more often nowadays? Are there more ­narcissists around today?

Only mental health ­specialists can diagnose this condition, so far be it for me to make any amateur ­analysis. read more on Ghislaine Maxwell 'HE DIDN'T KILL HIMSELF' Ghislaine Maxwell claims ex- lover Epstein was murdered in jail 'NOT CRUEL' Ghislaine Maxwell says it's a misconception that she's 'mean and poisonous' But without pausing for breath, it’s easy to reel off some well-known ones.
