“If we care about people getting health care, let's drive down the cost of health care, [and] I have a bill that does that,” Scott said during an appearance on Fox Business.

CNN anchor confronts lawmaker over report of profane airport outburst

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins put a Trump-aligned congresswoman on the defensive after a Washington Post report alleged she hurled profanities at TSA staff during an airport blowup.

Fox News caught avoiding camera angles that would expose Trump's tiny crowds: analyst

It's no coincidence that President Donald Trump chose Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania, for a MAGA rally on Tuesday. Pennsylvania, as Democratic strategist James Carville famously noted back in the late 1980s, is a complex and volatile swing state that can go either Democrat or Republican. And Trump has a history of both winning and losing in the Keystone State, which he carried in 2016 and 2024 but lost to Democrat Joe Biden in 2020.

The Mount Pocono event marked Trump's return to MAGA rallies after putting them on the back burner during his second presidency. But Salon's Sophia Tesfaye, in a biting article published on Wednesday, attacks the Mount Pocono gathering as a "flop."

President Donald Trump made an appearance at a Pennsylvania event on Tuesday to convince voters of his economic agenda but, according to Republican strategist, his "meandering" speech only showed that his "confusion and mental weakness" are getting worse.

Trump is also attempting to convince voters that his economic agenda remains sound, and that concerns about the cost of living are a "con job" devised by his political enemies.
