This 'secret weapon' lets Trump and Epstein elite 'get away with anything': author

Author and journalist Anand Giridharadas identified Sunday what he called the single thing that has allowed the wealthy and powerful figures in Jeffrey Epstein's orbit to escape accountability for decades — and it's something most Americans have lost.

Speaking on The Daily Beast podcast with host Joanna Coles, Giridharadas argued the so-called "Epstein class" — a shadowy network of billionaires, financiers, professors, royals, and political operators — operates by a code of mutual protection that overrides any ideological divide.

Frothing Trump sent over the edge by Dem's Fox News appearance

President Donald Trump exploded on Truth Social on Sunday after Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) appeared on Fox News to discuss redistricting, the Iran war and competition with China, with Trump calling the congressman a "sleazebag" and accusing him of trying to steal credit for the steel industry's revival.

The apparent trigger was Khanna's comments about Chinese steel, where the California Democrat told Fox News anchor Jacqui Heinrich that he was "horrified" to see Chinese steel at the Port of Cleveland and called for protecting American steel manufacturing.

Trump's new interview answer spawns allegation 'his frontal cortex is dust'

"Diphtheria Don" was what some were saying after Donald Trump responded to a question about vaccines in a sit-down interview.

It starts when the interviewer asks Trump about Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and a proposed vaccine commission. Trump responds that babies are getting too many shots and then states, "I look at these beautiful little babies and they get a vat, like a big glass, of stuff pumped into their bodies. I think it's a very negative thing to do. I would love to see much smaller shots, like four visits to the doctor. And I think you would have a much better result with the autism."

Former Trump administration official and right-wing commentator Sebastian Gorka left onlookers baffled Sunday after offering a puzzling explanation as to why President Donald Trump failed to adhere to his own timeline for ending his war against Iran.

Shortly after launching the U.S. attack on Iran, dubbed Operation Epic Fury, Trump indicated that the campaign would finish “within two to three weeks,” Fox News reported back on April 1. With the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran now stretching into its 71st day as of Sunday, Gorka was pressed on the discrepancy during an appearance on Newsnation.

Scott Jennings accused of 'cheating' as fiery exchange breaks out on CNN: 'Let me finish!'

Republican strategist Scott Jennings was issued a fierce rebuke Sunday after championing the GOP’s recent gerrymandering blitz, remarks that one Democratic strategist characterized as dismissive to the “surgical attack” on Black voters spearheaded by the Trump administration.

Last week, the Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling that effectively gutted a provision of the Voting Rights Act that prohibited racially discriminatory voting policies. Republican-led states subsequently scrambled to redraw their states’ congressional district maps to benefit Republicans, and in most cases, at the expense of Black voters.

Trump official sweats when pressed on skyrocketing gas prices: 'I'm avoiding predictions'

The average cost for a gallon of gas in the United States hit $4.56 on Saturday amid President Donald Trump’s ongoing war against Iran, and when pressed on the possibility of gas soon reaching $5, a top Trump official scrambled to dodge the question during an appearance Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

Citing a new report from Bloomberg, NBC’s Kristen Welker asked Energy Secretary Chris Wright whether Americans should prepare for “the possibility of paying $5 a gallon for gas,” a question that Wright avoided answering entirely.

​'So you think?' Jake Tapper intrigued by senator's backfire warning to Trump

Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) issued President Donald Trump a blistering warning Sunday over the GOP’s new gerrymandering blitz, cautioning the president that his push for Republican-led states to redraw their congressional district maps could come back to haunt them, and as soon as this November.

The conservative-leaning Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling last week that effectively gutted Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, a provision designed to prohibit racially discriminatory voting policies – namely, the drawing of congressional districts in such a manner as to dilute the voting power of historically marginalized groups.

'He believes his own voters are suckers': Analyst exposes Trump's contempt for supporters

President Donald Trump's obsession with chasing his vanity projects has revealed how he dismisses his loyal followers, an analyst reported.

During an MS NOW panel discussion on Saturday, Bloomberg Opinion Senior Executive Editor Tim O'Brien described the golden statue, Trump library financing and the White House ballroom. He explained why Trump's request for $1 billion in taxpayer money stems from his own desires, including the "$7 million he's feeding to the Mar-a-Lago contractor" for painting the reflecting pool and his other passion project.
