CNN host Abby Phillip and reporter Donie O'Sullivan slammed President Donald Trump on Monday night over his inability to speak to his base following the latest scandal.

Last week, Justice Department officials issued an unsigned memo contradicting many points of the Jeffrey Epstein conspiracy theory that Trump and his surrogates have parroted for multiple years. The move set off a firestorm within the MAGA base and has become a political liability for the Trump administration.

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins claimed Medicaid is “bankrupting” the states, while suggesting that “healthy” foods could serve to help reduce health care costs. Yet both Medicaid and nutrition programs like SNAP were slashed under President Donald Trump and Republicans’ so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which was signed into law just 10 days ago.

“Medicaid is bankrupting almost every state,” Secretary Rollins claimed in remarks on Monday (video below).

U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz appeared on Fox Business on Monday, where he presented a carrot cake to celebrate Medicaid's 60th birthday and brushed aside concerns about the millions of Americans likely to lose their healthcare coverage under recently passed Republican legislation—by telling people to not eat carrot cake.

Oz—the multimillionaire erstwhile celebrity surgeon, purveyor of "miracle" cures, and failed U.S. Senate candidate—gave Fox Business host Stuart Varney what he called a "MAHA Medi-cake" before proceeding to extol the virtues of Medicaid, the program launched during then-President Lyndon B. Johnson's "Great Society" agenda that provides health insurance to more than 70 million lower-income Americans.

Democrats have a surprising leverage point to stop the GOP's efforts to rig the House of Representatives during the 2026 midterm elections, according to one of the party's top leaders.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) joined progressive YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen on his show "No Lies" to discuss how Democrats can prevent Texas Republicans from further gerrymandering their congressional maps during an upcoming special session. The special session was announced by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott shortly after the devastating floods in Texas's Hill Country killed more than 100 people.

Youman Wilder, founder of Harlem Baseball Hitting Academy, got emotional while speaking out Monday afternoon on MSNBC following an incident last week in which he tried to stop U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from unlawfully questioning his young athletes, only to be threatened by the agents with physical assault or with obstruction charges.

"Tell me how old the kids were and where you guys were," said anchor Nicolle Wallace. "You were in a park on Riverside and 72nd. Were there a bunch of ball fields?"

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) went after his Republican colleague and Judiciary Committee chairman, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), for carrying water for President Donald Trump's nominee to the federal appeals court, which Democrats allege is corrupt.

Whitehouse spoke to MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace on "Deadline: White House" Monday, where the two lamented that the nominee, Emil Bove, would likely be confirmed by the GOP-led Senate.

Former President Barack Obama gave a blunt speech to a group of Democratic donors, telling them the party needs to "toughen up" and stop waiting on a hero to come in and save them, and the former president's one-time strategist David Axelrod weighed in on the matter on CNN on Monday afternoon.

Essentially, he argued, Obama accused his party of shirking away from the hard duty of rolling up their sleeves and fighting for what they believe in.

During a White House Faith Office event focused on renewing America “spiritually and financially,” President Donald Trump lashed out at “evil” Democrats and used an expletive while venting about his indictments and impeachments.

The meeting was attended by about 60 CEOs and business leaders who have donated to faith-based causes, in an attempt to persuade them to invest in the White House Faith Office, according to Fox News.

Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) was routed in a shock upset last month when Democrats rejected him in the primary for mayor of New York City, in favor of the young democratic socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani, who is running on a platform of freezing rent, expanding free bus service, and creating public grocery stores in food deserts.

After weeks of relative silence from Cuomo, however, he announced Monday that he is remaining in the race and will run on a separate party line in the general election, alongside scandal-plagued incumbent mayor Eric Adams and the pro-Trump Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. insisted he was doing a "good job" controlling a measles outbreak that he said had neared 1,300 cases this year, the most since the disease was eradicated in the country.

During a Monday event on removing dyes from ice cream, NBC News asked Kennedy about the ongoing outbreak.

MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk said he would stop criticizing the current administration over its handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case after he reportedly received a call from President Donald Trump.

According to CNN's Kristen Holmes, "Trump called Charlie Kirk Saturday to express his support for Bondi after being shown clip of Kirk seemingly supporting Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino over Bondi at Kirk's Turning Point USA conference in FL."

President Donald Trump suggested that "unattractive" wealthy men would face divorces if he hadn't signed tax breaks into law.

During a luncheon with members of the White House Faith Office on Monday, Trump reflected on the passage of his so-called One Big Beautiful Bill.
