Biden Sets Fundraising Record As Trump Bankrupts Republicans
(PoliticusUSA) President Biden set a new Democratic fundraising record with $53 million in donations in February, as Trump is struggling to raise cash. The Biden campaign announced: "Team Biden-Harris announced that it raised more than $53 million in February, continuing to break fundraising records through the beginning of 2024, boasting enthusiasm, strength, and historic resources heading into the general election. The team is also reporting a historic $155 million in cash on hand, the highest total amassed by any Democratic candidate in history at this point in the cycle. Team Biden-Harris cash on hand has increased each of the four reporting periods since the president launched his reelection."
Trump Calls For Jan 6 Committee Members to be Imprisoned
(Meidas Touch) Donald Trump called for the members of the House January 6th Select Committee, including former Congresswoman Liz Cheney, to be imprisoned in a post on Truth Social Sunday. "She should go to jail along with the rest of the Unselect Committee!" Trump said in response to post about Liz Cheney allegedly withholding evidence from the final Committee report. Calls to arrest the members of the Jan 6 Committee have been widely circulating on X and other social media sites for years. Trump's amplification of this language represents a dangerous escalation in violent authoritarian rhetoric ahead of the 2024 election.
Regarding Bloodbaths: Let's Remember What Trump Said Would Happen If Biden Was Elected in 2020
(The Rude Pundit) From migrants being "not human" to a "bloodbath" for the economy if he's not restored to the White House, Trump gleefully baits and bashes with abandon. If Joe Biden is re-elected, Trump ominously intones, the world as we know it will cease to be and we will become slaves. The thing is, though, that Trump promised the same thing 4 years ago if Biden defeated him. In every campaign stop after the nominations were clinched, Trump would talk about the damage Biden would definitely do. Spoiler: None of it happened.

Biden needles Trump on age, mental fitness, finances at D.C. dinner
(Washington Post) After sitting through hours of jokes about his age at Saturdays Gridiron Club and Foundation dinner, President Biden turned the tables on the journalists putting on the skits. The big news this week is, two candidates clinched their parties nomination for president. One candidate is too old, mentally unfit to be president, Biden said. And the other is me.
