              Fox News Anchors Are Defending “Good Kid” Kyle Rittenhouse
                  
                    Host Greg Gutfeld said Rittenhouse, who’s on trial for charges including first-degree intentional homicide, “did the right thing” by making “sure these violent, disgusting dirtbags weren’t roaming the streets.”

                    Some top Democrats see New Jersey, and not Virginia, as a more worrisome sign. But, says one Biden adviser, the good news is it’s November 2021—not October 2022. “We have the potential for an incredibly powerful message,” this person says. “But we’ve got to get s--t done.”

                    According to Trump, breaking into the Capitol and threatening the life of the vice president was “common sense.”

                    Insiders say Joe Manchin will likely point to rising prices as the latest reason to stonewall Biden’s agenda. But to hear the president tell it, his Build Back Better bill is the best way to get inflation under control.

              Lawsuit Threats, Empty Seats, and a “COVID Mobile”: Trump’s Disastrous Tulsa Rally Was Even More of a Train Wreck Than Originally Thought
                  
                    The rally made headlines for its empty seats, but things were even worse behind the scenes, writes Jonathan Karl. The president feuded with advisers, shouted down objections, and ended up with a car full of sick staffers—and one who was “worried he was going to die.”
