With fewer than 100 days until the November 2026 midterms, the Republican National Committee holds more than $128 million in cash with zero debt, while the Democratic National Committee carries roughly $18.5 million in debt against just $16 million on hand. President Trump underscored the GOP's financial dominance on Tuesday, headlining a closed-press fundraiser at his golf club in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, where dinner and reception tickets started at $15,000 and a high-level roundtable seat ran as high as $150,000. The event kicked off a two-day western swing that took him to Las Vegas the following day to talk up the economy, a subject that, by every available poll, towers over every other voter concern heading into November. …Open

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. decertified a Kentucky-based organ procurement nonprofit after federal reviewers found serious deficiencies in nearly a third of cases examined, including patients who were still alive when staff tried to harvest their organs.

Brad Pitt's legal team filed a motion demanding Angelina Jolie turn over financial records from 2017 through 2019 in their long-running Château Miraval winery dispute, arguing she put her own finances at issue and now refuses to back it up.

Pitt's attorneys argue that Jolie herself placed her financial condition squarely before the court through her own prior claims, and that she cannot now refuse to produce the records that would let the other side examine those claims. The motion marks the latest escalation in a lawsuit Pitt first filed in February 2022, after Jolie sold her stake…Open

Bill Belichick is not settling, the 74-year-old UNC football coach has filed a counter-complaint and demanded a jury trial in a $300,000 negligence lawsuit brought by a painter who says he was injured at Belichick's Nantucket property.

Jackson claims he severely injured his right ankle after slipping on improperly maintained plastic sheeting that covered floors and furniture during the job. He filed suit in April in Nantucket Superior Court, naming Forty Five Fair Street LLC, a company managed by Belichick, as the defendant…Open
