Vice President JD Vance came to Michigan to campaign against Abdul El-Sayed, the former public health official turned Democratic Senate candidate — but El-Sayed had other plans.

At a campaign event on Monday, El-Sayed seized his moment during a press conference to hit back at his rival, former Rep. Mike Rogers, for inviting Vance to campaign with him — triggering stifled laughter from behind him, and an explosive reaction on social media.

A guest on MS NOW reacted in shock to reporting about a very bizarre FBI hiring policy change — but MS NOW's Alicia Menendez swiftly hedged it almost at once.

Michael Feinberg, former FBI assistant special agent, didn't mince words when Menendez asked him, "What do you think is the most insane change" to the FBI's new relaxing of standards for who can work for the agency.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was raked over the coals on Monday morning over a report that his Pentagon has installed several so-called "influencers" with large online followings in government roles to prop up his faltering reputation.

According to the Washington Post, “The individuals are assigned as either ‘special government employees’ or ‘highly qualified experts,’” and questions are being raised about how much they are being paid.

Following Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh’s first major address last week in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, MS NOW host Stephanie Ruhle suggested Warsh is not his own man.

Appearing on “Morning Joe,” the “Money, Power, Politics” host, who was a Wall Street executive before moving into journalism, became visibly exasperated with President Donald Trump’s hand-picked appointee.

The decisive voter bloc in this year's midterm elections has dramatically shifted away from President Donald Trump and the Republican Party on the issue that helped elect him, according to CNN's Harry Enten.

In August 2024, independents trusted Trump over then-Vice President Kamala Harris on inflation by 12 percentage points, a margin Enten described as a key factor in Trump's victory. That advantage has since collapsed, and Trump's net approval rating on inflation among independents now stands at 64 points underwater – marking a swing of 76 points in a little over two years.

Concerns were raised on Monday morning that 80-year-old President Donald Trump is having problems understanding what is going on in his war on Iran.

Sunday evening, the Pentagon confirmed an attack on Larak Island in the Gulf of Hormuz, reportedly taking out Iranian rocket launchers designed to disperse sea mines into the waterway.

Federal health officials say they are confident that all iceberg lettuce linked to a nationwide cyclospora outbreak has been removed from U.S. markets, even as the case count from the summer-long outbreak continues to rise.

More than 11,000 people have been sickened this summer in an outbreak tied to iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms of Mexico, CNN medical correspondent Meg Tirrell reported. Nearly 500 have been hospitalized, and two people have died — a rare outcome for cyclospora infections. Both deaths occurred in Michigan, which has emerged as the epicenter of the outbreak.

A beloved Canadian alt-country band that's been entertaining crowds since 1984 just handed President Trump a musical middle finger over his push to rename Lake Ontario.

According to a report from the Daily Beast, Blue Rodeo took the stage at Toronto's RBC Amphitheater on Saturday, a 16,000-capacity venue sitting directly on the Lake Ontario waterfront. During the show, the band played their 1993 fan favorite "Hasn't Hit Me Yet," which features the lyrics: "Watching the snow fall on this cold December night, and out in the middle of Lake Ontario, the same snow is falling on the deep silent water."

President Donald Trump raged at NBC News journalist Kristen Welker over the weekend after she questioned the worth of his electoral endorsements, and a conservative commentator said his threats betrayed a deeper anxiety.

The "Meet the Press" host reported on the "mixed results" in his recent endorsements in GOP primary races, and the 80-year-old president accused her of “purposeful inaccuracy” and threatened that she would “be reported to the FCC for rebuke or punishment," which conservative Jonah Goldberg described as a telling admission.

A Democratic analyst floated a disturbing new theory on Sunday about why President Donald Trump's youngest son seemingly can't ignore the legal plight of two MAGA influencers.

Andrew and Tristan Tate, MAGA influencers who have been arrested on sex trafficking charges, have repeatedly mentioned Barron Trump by name while speaking with the media. In turn, a flattering story about the youngest Trump appeared in the New York Post recently about the "reclusive" lifestyle he's taken on during his father's second administration.

CNN data guru Harry Enten was astounded on Sunday after new data revealed just how little Americans think of President Donald Trump's latest stunt.

Last week, Trump signed an executive order renaming Lake Ontario Lake America as part of his ongoing trade spat with America's northern neighbor. Enten did a little digging into Google's search data and said during Sunday's broadcast of "CNN Newsroom" that the data painted a revealing picture of how Americans are thinking about the move.

There's an "interesting sign" emerging after the U.S. conducted a new round of strikes against Iran on Sunday that risks spurring America's enemies to act, according to one analyst.

The U.S. launched a series of strikes against two sites on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz where Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps members were staging rocket launchers to attack merchant ships, according to reports. The strikes came just days after President Donald Trump called Iran a "failing nation" in a post on Truth Social.
