Donald Trump's incoming chairman of the Federal Communications Commission sent a stern letter to Disney CEO Bob Iger that's seen as a threat to other news media outlets, and Democratic strategist Maria Cardona warned that these preemptive moves could alienate voters.

A pair of CNN commentators debated President Joe Biden's motives for commuting the sentences of nearly every federal inmate on death row.

A New York Democrat thinks he knows what's behind President-elect Donald Trump's bizarre new request: money.

Rep. Glenn Ivey (D-MD), a member of the House Ethics Committee, said they released the report on former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) because it could be "important" to future employers.

Former Rep. Charlie Dent (R-PA) had little good to say about his ex-colleague Matt Gaetz (R-FL) after a damning House Ethics Committee report found what it described as "substantial evidence" that the Florida Republican "violated House Rules and other standards of conduct prohibiting prostitution, statutory rape, illicit drug use, impermissible gifts, special favors or privileges, and obstruction of Congress."
