'Answer my question, Kaitlan!' VA secretary hijacks CNN interview as he attacks network

What started as a jovial interview between CNN’s Kaitlan Collins and Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins – who both chuckled as the host noted he is of “no relation” to her – quickly devolved into a tense confrontation as the Trump cabinet official unleashed an all-out attack on the network.

"Here we are in this — it is an extraordinary moment," CNN anchor Erin Burnett told Schiff on Wednesday evening's edition of "OutFront."

Lawmaker in Trump-friendly swing district shows Dems 'way out of the wilderness': analysis

Democrats in a key swing state got some good news on Tuesday, March 25 when Dan Goughnour defeated Republican Chuck Davis in a special election for a seat in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, which gives Democrats a narrow 102-101 majority in that chamber.

Democrats are taking nothing for granted in Pennsylvania after the election of 2024, which found Donald Trump narrowly winning the state and Democratic then-Sen. Bob Casey Jr. being voted out of office after three terms.
