2024 Elections

CBS correspondent Robert Costa warned Americans to expect "governing by crisis" in 2025 after Republicans take complete control of the federal government.

During a Sunday panel discussion on Face the Nation, Costa pointed to narrow Republican majorities in the House and Senate as a problem for the party.

Sarah Isgur, a former Department of Justice spokesperson in the first Trump administration, cast doubt on President-elect Donald Trump's ability to bend the Supreme Court of the United States to his will with a bid to delay a law that would ban the TikTok social media platform.

Although Congress passed legislation giving President Joe Biden the authority to ban TikTok on Jan. 19 before leaving office, Trump has told the high court to delay the law until he takes office a day later. The law requires the president to ban TikTok if its parent company does not break ties with the Chinese Government. Trump has suggested he would find a way around the law after crediting the TikTok platform with helping him win the 2024 election.

Fox News host Howard Kurtz kicked off his Sunday Media Buzz program by highlighting "statutory rape" allegations against former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), President-elect Donald Trump's failed nominee for attorney general.

In his opening monologue, Kurtz argued a House Ethics Committee report vindicated Gaetz's Republican opponents.

U.S. President Joe Biden reportedly said that he regrets dropping out of the race for President because he believes he could have beaten Donald Trump, leading to a variety of onlooker reactions.

The Washington Post reported that the President regrets departing the 2024 presidential race after pressure from allies to step aside. The outlet cited sources familiar with Biden's thinking.

Donald Trump's top issue next year is fixing immigration, and an MSNBC political panel thinks he set up his supporters for an internal civil war over it.

Speaking to Ayman Mohyeldin, who is filling in for Nicolle Wallace, Lincoln Project co-founder Rick Wilson said Trump has spent the past decade blaming immigrants for all that ails them. Meanwhile, Trump has welcomed the billionaire class, in stark contrast to the MAGA ideology.

Just a few weeks ago, panic spread through the progressive movement about Democrats in the U.S. Senate confirming as many judicial nominees as possible before Republicans take over the new Congress.

Washington Post columnist Colbert I. King noted that lawmakers' empty promises ultimately led to 10 judicial nominees that will go unfilled, thanks to Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) letting the Senate break.

Some supporters of President-elect Donald Trump are calling out X owner Elon Musk for not paying them after they took part in his "free speech" petition ahead of the 2024 presidential election.

In replies to a post criticizing Musk from Trump ally Laura Loomer, some Trump supporters said that they were still owed money after they took part in his petition drive scheme that promised participants $47 for each successful referral to sign the petition.

Trump devotee Laura Loomer says she is paying a price for her criticisms of X owner Elon Musk.

In recent days, Loomer and many other MAGA devotees have been criticizing Musk after he said that America needs to import more top-tier engineering talent from other countries because there simply aren't enough American-born engineers talented enough to meet demand.

A fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee is leaving the Democratic Party, comparing it to a "cult" on her way out.

Lindy Li, a political commentator, claimed she was shut out after being critical of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

President Joe Biden's former press secretary Jen Psaki is telling Democrats they're missing a massive opportunity by not including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) in their leadership team.

The young and popular lawmaker ran for the top spot on the House Reform and Oversight Committee but lost the post to Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA). Ocasio-Cortez accepted the loss and hugged her colleague after the vote. She made it clear that she would remain on the committee and likely bring the same efforts she brought during the 118th Congress.

Ron Vitiello, former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, claimed President-elect Donald Trump's proposed internment centers for immigrant families would be like a "really nice summer camp."

The Washington Post noted Thursday that Trump border czar Tom Homan intended to once again hold undocumented immigrant families with children in "soft-sided" tent structures.

A pair of former Supreme Court law clerks came out with an opinion article in The Hill this week laying out how Congress ought to disqualify President-elect Donald Trump under the Insurrection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, for his role in inciting the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

The authors freely admitted this was all but guaranteed not to happen, and so far no Democratic member of Congress appears interested in taking up their cause — but the article triggered a round of outrage from pro-Trump commentators. Some went so far as to call this in itself an insurrection attempt, and demand the authors be arrested simply for suggesting it, in sarcasm to imply Trump's 2020 plot wasn't really an act of insurrection.
