Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani defended his support of former President Donald Trump, claiming it would “help me in heaven” while admitting that it would likely lead to him being disbarred in Washington, D.C., and New York.
The former New York mayor recorded an episode with Dr. Maria Ryan on his Uncovering the Truth podcast. In the segment, he again falsely claimed that Trump had won the 2020 election against President Joe Biden.
Giuliani told Ryan that “the bar association is going to crucify me no matter what” for revealing some “confidential stuff.”
“I will be disbarred in New York and Washington, and it will have nothing to do with anything I did wrong,” he said. “And I consider that something that will help me in heaven for sticking to my principles and not being a weakling like all these weaklings who are afraid to represent Trump.”

The Georgia State House passed a bill that makes it easier for police to arrest suspected illegal immigrants.
The bill would make it easier for police departments to identify and arrest undocumented immigrants. Under the proposed law, sheriffs must report to federal authorities if someone they arrest does not have documentation. Local governments could lose state funding if they don’t report such cases.
The state House voted 97-74 for House Bill 1105, which was sponsored by state Rep. Jesse Petrea (R).
The bill comes after Laken Riley, an Augusta University nursing student, was beaten to death by an undocumented immigrant. On February 22, she was found dead in the woods on the University of Georgia’s campus after her roommate called the police, reporting that she did not return from a morning run. The man accused of the crime is a Venezuelan migrant Jose Ibarra, who crossed into the U.S.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) bragged about her district in Georgia gaining $9.3 million in federal funds even though she voted against the passing of federal funding bills.
On March 11, two days after President Joe Biden signed six government spending bills into law, Greene sent out a press release describing the funding amount she “secured” in the measures for projects within her district.
Congressional leaders on both sides of the aisle worked to bring the package of six spending measures – called a minibus – to Biden’s desk during months of political wrangling. Another slate of funding bills passed on Friday preventing a government shutdown.
Greene immediately called for a “motion to vacate” to remove Johnson as House speaker.
The $460 billion package that had been passed includes funding for the departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Justice, Veterans Affairs, Energy, Interior, Transportation and Housing and Urban Development.
Spending was approved for the Food and Drug Administration,...

When Joe Biden and Donald Trump clinched their party nominations this week, it marked the end of primary season and the start of the general election campaign.
From now until November 5, the campaigns of the current president and the former president will blitz battleground states with visits from the candidates and their surrogates and flood the airwaves with the latest ads.
The past few days have been a bit of a preview of what to expect.
When Biden told MSNBC over the weekend that he regrets using the term “illegal” in the State of the Union address, Trump posted a meme alleging that his successor “apologizes” to Laken Riley’s killer.
When Trump gave an interview on CNBC, Biden seized on his comments about cutting Social Security and Medicare.

Sen. Katie Britt (R-Alabama) defended her use of a misleading human trafficking story in her response to President Joe Biden‘s State of the Union address.
In Britt’s response, the senator made a point to criticize Biden’s border and immigration policies. Britt also blamed Biden for the murder of 22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley whom Biden said was killed by “an illegal.”
Britt then used the story of a young woman who was trafficked between 2004 and 2008 in Mexico to further attack Biden without mentioning that the case occurred decades earlier. Britt’s story sparked criticism on social media and other human trafficking victims who felt exploited.
Britt also claimed the United States is more dangerous under Biden’s presidency than it was four years ago under Trump.
In a Fox News interview, Britt refused to apologize for misleading the audience.

President Joe Biden, in his first sit down interview since his State of the Union address, addressed one moment of the speech when he was responding to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-ga).
MSNBC’s Jonathan Capehart asked Biden about his use of the term “illegal” when he was talking about the suspect who allegedly killed Laken Riley.
“An undocumented person,” Biden said. “I shouldn’t have used illegal, it’s undocumented. And look, when I spoke about the difference between Trump and me, one of the things I talked about in the border was his, the way he talks about vermin, the way he talks about these people polluting the blood. I talked about what I’m not going to do. What I won’t do. I’m not going to treat any, any, any of these people with disrespect. Look, they built the country. The reason our economy is growing.

Sen. Katie Britt (R-Alabama) delivered a “strange” rebuttal to President Joe Biden‘s State of the Union in a nationally televised address where she labeled him a “dithering and diminished leader.”
Britt, the youngest Republican woman serving in the U.S. Senate at the age of 42, chose her kitchen table as the backdrop to criticize Biden on various issues, such as the Middle East conflicts, the economy and the perceived transformation of the American dream into a “nightmare.” Her primary focus, like many Republicans, centered around the US-Mexico border.
Britt’s impassioned speech was met with online mockery, with critics calling it “dramatic,” “creepy” and “insincere.” Her odd tone ranged from “shouty” to seemingly near tears during the address.
CNN analyst and former Trump White House Communications Director Alyssa Farah Griffin wrote on X, “Senator Katie Britt is a very impressive person. She ran a hell of race in Al.

In Thursday’s State of the Union address, President Joe Biden engaged in an unexpected exchange with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) after she interrupted him with heckling remarks on immigration and urged him to acknowledge the death of a University of Georgia student.
As Biden discussed a bipartisan border security bill in the Senate that faced opposition, including from former President Donald Trump, Greene, a staunch Trump ally, called out the name “Laken Riley,” a student killed by an undocumented Venezuelan migrant in 2022, according to police reports. Greene wore a red “Make America Great Again” hat as she sat in the chamber. (Wearing hats in the House chamber is against the rules.)
Biden paused his speech and said, “Laken Riley, an innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal. That’s right… But how many thousands of people are being killed by legals? To her parents I say,...

“If I was smart, I’d go home now,” President Joe Biden began his fourth State of the Union address on Thursday after receiving one of the few bipartisan rounds of applause he’d get all night. The well-worn line by the incumbent got a laugh as expected, but for Speaker Mike Johnson and many Republicans tonight, that opening line should have been a hint.
Put it another way, as Johnson and other members of his party stayed in their seats like wilting potted plants or simply walked out, the often underwhelming Biden came looking for a fight. Gifted by the flaws of his enemies, as all the most successful politicians are, Biden quickly moved from false humility to give the GOP a beatdown in a speech that most candidates would have saved for their national convention.
But, as the bizarre GOP rebuttal that Alabama’s junior Senator Katie Britt...

Updated: During his State of the Union speech Thursday, Joe Biden exchanged words with Republican hecklers, skewered Donald Trump without naming him, and framed the November election as one of decency and democracy versus retribution and resentment.
Stretching over an hour, Biden appeared feisty and energetic, occasionally stumbling over his lines. More often than not, his speech was a campaign restart sprinkled with Sotu standards, the laundry list of accomplishments and references to the everyday figures in the gallery. Biden, aided by chants of “four more years,” seemed determined to show some verve and allay some of the fears of fretful Democrats.
One of the most contentious parts of the speech came when Biden slammed Republicans for rejecting a bipartisan border compromise, eliciting boos and some heckling from GOP members. At one moment, after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga) shouted at him to “remember Laken Riley,” a 22-year-old student...
