FCC Chair Brendan Carr got an unexpectedly sharp grilling from CNBC's Sara Eisen on Monday, who openly questioned the "suspicious" timing of his agency's escalating attack on Disney-owned ABC — pointing directly to President Donald Trump's recent demand that Jimmy Kimmel be fired.

Carr, who has emerged as one of the most aggressive enforcers in Trump's second term, recently called eight ABC TV station licenses in for early review, a move Disney has blasted as a transparent effort to chill protected speech.

New reporting on President Donald Trump's age-related decline opened fresh questions about his leadership of the Republican Party.

The Atlantic published a new report detailing how the president's team has adjusted to his limitation, and reporter Jonathan Lemire discussed his findings Monday while co-hosting MS NOW's "Morning Joe."

President Donald Trump has endorsed the idea of suspending federal taxes on gasoline in an effort to combat skyrocketing gas prices sparked by his unpopular war against Iran, but CNN’s Matt Egan, looking at a new analysis from the University of Pennsylvania, broke down on Monday exactly why the president’s idea was nothing more than a “gimmick.”

“It's already been such a financial nightmare for Main Street, and a political nightmare for the White House, but other than the obvious – getting the Strait of Hormuz re-opened – they're really kind of running out of options to prevent gasoline from blowing past those Biden-era records above $5,” Egan said.

While President Donald Trump has frequently quarreled with members of his own party, he’s increasingly lashed out at GOP lawmakers known as being among his strongest supporters, and to such an extent that prominent Democratic strategist Mike Nellis was left stunned Sunday night over what he called the president’s “crash out.”

Among Trump’s biggest targets has been Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), who, despite long being a diehard supporter of the president, has drawn the president’s ire after co-sponsoring last year the Epstein Files Transparency Act (EFTA), a bill designed to force the Justice Department to release its files on Jeffrey Epstein.

President Donald Trump appears to have set a "five-alarm fire" ahead of the upcoming midterm election, and it ought to give Democrats the reality check they need, according to one expert.

Marc Elias, a voting rights attorney, warned on a new episode of the "Democracy Watch" podcast, co-hosted by Brian Tyler Cohen, that Trump's recent claim that he will "do anything necessary to make sure we have honest elections" should be a hair-raising alarm for anyone concerned about democracy. Not only does it signal that Trump will challenge the midterm election results if Republicans suffer losses, but it also reveals that Democrats need a new strategy to counter Trump, Elias argued.

There has been a lot of speculation about which of President Donald Trump's cabinet members will depart the administration next, and one analyst predicts the answer may be lurking behind the Vice President's door.

JD Vance has been widely considered as the heir apparent to Trump's Make America Great Again movement, even though Trump has yet to officially endorse Vance's takeover. But liberal political commentator David Pakman noted in a new reaction video on Sunday that Vance's chances of ascending to the MAGA throne appear to be sinking as prediction markets sour on the vice president.

A recent interview of Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) sent a long-time GOP pollster into a tailspin on Sunday.

Sarah Longwell, publisher of The Bulwark, reacted to Graham's interview on NBC News' "Meet the Press" on Sunday, where he claimed that Sen. Bill Cassidy's (R-LA) primary loss was a good thing for the Republican Party, during a new episode of the "Bulwark Takes" podcast with Sam Stein, The Bulwark's managing editor. Longwell claimed the interview was "revolting" and showed something truly disturbing about Graham's personality.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche just revealed what's coming next in President Donald Trump's ballot scheme with a searing dog whistle during a Fox News interview on Sunday, according to one analyst.

Blanche joined Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on "Sunday Morning Futures," where he claimed, without evidence, that there is "a ton of evidence" that the 2020 general election was rigged against Trump.

Onlookers mocked Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday after she shared a startling monologue during the opening segment of her weekend show, "Sunday Morning Futures."

In the monologue, Bartiromo claimed that her show had been one of the "leading critical journalists" covering government mismanagement, ranging from the "made-up Russia collusion story" that "ripped the country apart" to the "coordinated attack on the American people" by Democrats trying to "hide serious mental incapacitation" of former President Joe Biden.

President Donald Trump sparked outrage on Sunday after his heavily edited recorded speech played at his national prayer event in Washington, D.C.

Trump addressed the crowd at his "Rededicate 250" event, billed as an effort to highlight "God’s presence in our national life throughout 250 years of American history," according to the event's website. It was held at the National Mall and featured appearances from Trump's Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and several prominent MAGA and Evangelical Christian figures.

Right-wing radio host Eric Metaxas told thousands gathered on the National Mall on Sunday that the Almighty spent two centuries waiting to deliver one Donald Trump so the president could finally build his $400 million ballroom.

"Yes, it's hard to believe that it would take two centuries for the Lord to raise up a great man to bring that ballroom finally to stand where it needs to stand," Metaxas said at the taxpayer-backed "Rededicate 250" prayer event. "It's extraordinary. We only had to wait 200 years."

The Republican Party seems to be winning the redistricting wars as the 2026 midterm elections approach, but a legal expert on Sunday compared the GOP's efforts to an own goal that will likely haunt them going forward.

So far, the Republicans have gained about seven seats in Congress through mid-cycle redistricting as states like Texas, Louisiana, and Tennessee have redrawn their maps. The Center for Politics at the University of Virginia estimates the party could gain as many as 10 total seats, even as Democrats attempt to counter the GOP's moves with new maps of their own.
