Corey Sipkin/AP

Trump is scheduled to return to his Palm Beach, Florida, home, Mar-a-Lago, on Tuesday evening to hold a rally, punctuating his new reality: submitting to the dour demands of the American criminal justice system while projecting an aura of defiance and victimhood at celebratory campaign events.

Senate passes 6-week abortion ban

The Senate has passed the “Heartbeat Protection Act,” which is one of the most restrictive abortion bills in the country.

SB 300, filed by Fort Pierce Republican Sen. Erin Grall, would ban doctors from knowingly performing or inducing a termination of pregnancy after the sixth week of gestation. This would represent a change from the current 15-week threshold, which legislators hailed as a reasonable compromise when they passed it last year.

Trump Is Drafting 'Battle Plans' To Attack Mexico After Election

According to a new report from Rolling Stone, Donald Trump is having his aides draft "battle plans" that he can use to launch an attack on Mexico if he makes it back into the White House. Specifically, the plans would be to attack the drug cartels, but these plans could easily be used to target migrants or any other group in the country - or targets in other countries. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Ron DeSantis Hit With Second Ethics Complaint Over Shadow Presidential Campaign

It is against Florida state law for a politician to run for an office that would force them to miss half of the time they have left in their current office, but Ron DeSantis still "appears" to be running for President without resigning as governor. Because of this, DeSantis has now been hit with a second ethics complaint, this time from the Democratic Party of the state of Florida. DeSantis may soon be forced to declare whether or not he's running, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

Florida Bill Would INSTANTLY Ban Books Based On A Single Parent Objection

A new bill in Florida - that Ron DeSantis fully supports - would allow a SINGLE parent to have a book pulled from a school if they object to it. There wouldn't even be a review before the book is pulled, and any parent could file a complaint. The book bans are taking on an extreme new level, and we can be sure that the teachers are the ones who will pay the price for this. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.
