Nikki Haley trying to avoid being crushed in Michigan primary ahead of Super Tuesday: Live

A 25-year-old active US Air Force service member filmed himself and live-streamed it onto the social media platform Twitch on Sunday announcing that he no longer wanted to be “complicit in genocide” in Gaza.

A major Republican conference continues to deny that neo-Nazis were allowed to “mingle openly” at the event, with CPAC chair Matt Schlapp smearing NBC News’s reporting as “false, misleading, and grossly manipulative.”

CPAC’s comments on X were hit by a “community note” pointing to the outlet’s credible reporting on the issue.

Report Ben Goggin notes that despite CPAC’s responses, there was “a notable” neo-Nazi “presence at the conference whether CPAC was aware of it or not.”

President Joe Biden’s reported plan to restrict the right to claim asylum at the US-Mexico border has alarmed members of Congress and civil and humanitarian rights groups who fear the administration could be in breach of international law.

The president is reportedly mulling executive action to block people who cross the southern border without legal permission from claiming asylum once inside the US, upending guarantees that protect asylum rights for people on US soil.

Such a proposal, which would bypass Congress, would mirror an illegal Trump-era measure that a federal judge had previously rejected as an unlawful attempt to “rewrite” the nation’s immigration laws.

President Joe Biden’s administration is dispatching the nation’s top health official to Alabama for discussions with patients and doctors about after a state supreme court ruling upended in vitro fertilization treatment in the state.

An avalanche of anti-trans remarks and policy proposals drew little attention outside the poorly attended convention hall at this year’s CPAC, but underscored the ubiquity of anti-trans rhetoric that is threading nearly every single event at the conference and throughout Republican politics.

As LGBT+ communities and families across the nation are reeling from the death of a bullied gender-fluid 16-year-old in Oklahoma, CPAC’s attendees – including close allies of Donald Trump and activist influencers dedicated to ending affirming healthcare – repeatedly misgendered and ridiculed trans people, all while invoking Christianity and Biblical passages.

Republican US Rep Scott Perrry argued on Fox Busiess on Monday that a state of the union address from President Joe Biden next week would be better spent talking about Donald Trump.

“There’s no reason that we need to invite him to get more propaganda,” he said.

He said the time would be “better spent” reminding Americans that Biden reversed Trump’s draconian anti-immigrant agenda.

Congress is facing – for the fourth time in as many months – a partial government shutdown after the GOP-controlled House has failed to act.

Jack Posobiec was among guests at this year’s four-day right-wing conference, where Donald Trump, right-wing media personalities, members of Congress, state officials and the former president’s allies and surrogates are reviving familiar grievances and outlining attacks against political rivals heading into 2024 elections.

A familiar thread included Republicans and GOP officials trotting out January 6 conspiracy theories and downplaying the attack on the US Capitol to overturn 2020’s election results.

President Joe Biden’s administration is dispatching the nation’s top health official to Alabama for discussions with patients and doctors about after a state supreme court ruling upended in vitro fertilization treatment in the state.

Donald Trump is demanding Alabama lawmakers “act quickly to find an immediate solution” to protect in vitro fertilization in the wake of a shock state supreme court ruling that forced hospital systems and IVF clinics to halt treatments, while throwing doctors and families into legal chaos.

But at CPAC and elsewhere, conservatives were struggling for a cohesive response, while Republican members of Congress scrambled to make clear that they “clearly” support IVF.

Republican US Rep Bob Good said congressional Republicans should not be “joining hands” with Democratic colleagues “just to show that we can govern.”

Asked on Fox Business on Monday whether that should come at the expense of a partial government shutdown, which Congress is facing once again with a key funding deadline approaching, Good said it wouldn’t be the worst thing.

It’s the fourth time in as many months that Congress is facing a shutdown after failing to act.
