Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) made it clear Thursday that acting Attorney General Todd Blanche can forget about getting the job permanently — at least with his vote.

In an interview with Spectrum News' Reuben Jones, the North Carolina Republican was asked whether he'd block Blanche's nomination to lead the Department of Justice after Blanche refused this week to rule out compensating Jan. 6 rioters who assaulted police officers from a new $1.8 billion fund.

Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner is warning Donald Trump's inner circle to study the fate of Richard Nixon's lieutenants — and to remember that proximity to power was no shield from prison.

Kirschner, a 30-year prosecutor turned legal analyst, told viewers Wednesday that the loyalists embedded across Trump's second-term government should look closely at the Watergate ledger.

A just-released Fox News poll on Donald Trump’s performance as president caused MS NOW’s Mika Brzezinski to blurt out “Look at these numbers" to her co-hosts on Thursday morning.

At the start of “Morning Joe,“ Brzezinski prompted her panel with, “We want to show you some new polling from Fox News showing President Trump's approval rating near a record low. We keep reporting on these lows at this point,” before expressing astonishment at how low his approval numbers have plummeted.

President Donald Trump may have energized a massive voter bloc that could sink the Republican Party's chances of holding onto their congressional majorities, according to a new analysis.

CNN's Harry Enten zoomed in on polling that measured the opinions of registered voters who stayed home in 2024, and he found their view on the 79-year-old president has soured tremendously in the first year and a half of his second term.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche stepped into the limelight this week, unabashedly defending Donald Trump, making him the man of the president’s dreams, claimed MS NOW’s Ken Dilanian on Thursday morning.

Appearing on “Morning Joe,” the justice analyst told the co-hosts that Blanche, unlike his predecessor Pam Bondi, has shown he is more than willing to make the case for the president’s initiatives, not only before hostile senators, but also by sitting down with cable anchors and fielding their questions.

MAGA news outlets could be among the claimants seeking to claw back their massive penalties for spreading 2020 election lies through President Donald Trump's massive slush fund, according to new reporting.

CNN's Marshall Cohen reported that One America News, a little-watched right-wing network, is "seriously considering" filing a claim under the "Anti-Weaponization Fund" to restore millions of dollars paid to settle defamation lawsuits from voting machine companies Dominion and Smartmatic, although representatives from Fox News and Newsmax did not say whether they would use the fund.

The panel on CNN's "NewsNight" came unglued on Wednesday while discussing Amazon founder Jeff Bezos's tax plan, which he shared with CNBC earlier that day.

In an interview with Andrew Ross Sorkin, Bezos claimed that the bottom percentile of workers should pay no income tax. He said that the plan would benefit more middle-income earners, like a nurse in Queens, New York, than economic plans put forward by Democrats like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Socialist mayor of New York City, to increase taxes on the wealthy.

A psychiatrist made a frightening prediction on Wednesday about the rest of President Donald Trump's second term during a new podcast interview.

Dr. John Gartner, a psychologist and former professor at Johns Hopkins University, told Hugh Dougherty on a new episode of "The Daily Beast Podcast" that Rep. Thomas Massie's (R-KY) primary defeat on Tuesday may have emboldened Trump to do something that was once considered unthinkable. Trump may make the call to launch a nuclear strike in Iran or elsewhere, and there may not be anyone left around him who can stop it, he said.

President Donald Trump's Department of Justice just signaled its broader plan after unveiling its latest indictment, according to one expert.

Melba Pearson, a former prosecutor in South Florida, said during a new episode of the Legal AF podcast that the indictment against Raúl Castro is unlikely to result in Castro's extradition, much less a trial. Even so, it revealed that the Trump administration seems to be chasing a bigger goal because of how the indictment plays politically.

A political analyst heard alarm bells on Wednesday after Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) was defeated by a Trump-endorsed candidate during his primary election.

Massie lost the election to former Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein, who took home more than 57,000 votes, or 55% of the total. While some analysts have described Gallrein's victory as a show of President Donald Trump's grip on the Republican Party, Jonathan V. Last at The Bulwark argued during a new episode of the "Bulwark Takes" podcast that the election results are full of bad news for Trump.

CNN anchor Erin Burnett's jaw nearly hit the floor on Wednesday as she reported on a startling admission a Trump voter made during a recent interview.

NPR spoke to a Trump voter on Tuesday who claimed that he and his partner had started fasting in order to save money on groceries. The comments came at a time when the Trump administration's economic figures showed a sharp rise in inflation due to the war in Iran. Grocery prices were up nearly 3% while prices for food outside of the home increased by 3.6%, according to the data.
