A federal judge ordered Donald Trump to end his takeover of the California National Guard, rejecting his claim that the deployment was needed to protect immigration agents. Former prosecutor Glenn Kirschner said the ruling essentially told Trump to “get your damn hands off” the Guard, marking yet another court rebuke of the administration’s attempts to seize state control.

Anti-Trump GOP pollster Sarah Longwell warned on MS NOW that Donald Trump’s desperate attempts to deny an affordability crisis — including his bizarre Pennsylvania speech at which he told Americans they “don’t need dolls or pencils” — are backfiring spectacularly. Voters across parties, she said, now overwhelmingly blame Trump’s own tariffs and economic choices for rising prices, with even his supporters expressing frustration that costs keep climbing under a president who promised relief on “day one.” Longwell argued mounting “buyer’s remorse” has become Trump’s most dangerous vulnerability, as Americans watch him focus on billionaires, ballrooms and excuses while their grocery bills skyrocket — and conclude he owns the mess entirely.

House Speaker Mike Johnson barely muscled the annual defense bill through the chamber after caving to GOP hardliners — and now they’re openly warning they’ll blow up the next government funding measure if he wavers. Axios reports Johnson promised votes on banning congressional stock trades, blocking a Federal Reserve digital currency, and advancing a far-right bill restricting gender-affirming care, along with a separate pledge from Secretary of State Marco Rubio to target NGO funds in Afghanistan. With another shutdown threat looming and a pivotal vote on ACA subsidies coming soon, Johnson’s shaky deal has only deepened the GOP’s own internal chaos, according to the report.

A blistering new column argues the president’s latest 500-word Truth Social meltdown — meant to defend his health and mental sharpness — instead exposes how deeply he's slipping into a world of his own making. The Daily Beast’s Michael Ian Black says the rambling post should be “Exhibit A” in any push to invoke the 25th Amendment, blasting the president’s boastful claims about cognitive tests and describing his mental state as detached from reality. As GOP unrest grows over policy failures and sinking polls, the piece portrays a White House in denial and a president unraveling in real time.

Rep. Jim Jordan set off alarms inside the House GOP this week after reportedly warning colleagues that Republicans still lack a coherent health care plan — and risk watching moderates force a vote that preserves Affordable Care Act subsidies without any conservative reforms. According to Punchbowl’s Jake Sherman, Jordan’s blunt admission sparked “ears perking up” across the room as he urged the party to craft a plan before they lose control of the issue. Speaker Mike Johnson has promised at least one health care vote this year, but the internal scramble underscores how divided Republicans remain on a policy they’ve spent a decade trying — and failing — to replace.

Former GOP strategist Mike Murphy slammed Donald Trump’s Pennsylvania rally as “low-energy” and a clear sign the president is “fading.” Speaking on his Hacks on Tap podcast, Murphy noted that Trump’s meandering remarks and apparent confusion highlighted declining cognitive sharpness, reinforcing concerns about his health. What was meant to showcase economic leadership instead underscored a president struggling to maintain his once-commanding presence, he said.

Vice President JD Vance joked about banning the numbers “six” and “seven” on X, poking fun at a viral meme that has swept schools and social media. The meme, inspired by the 2025 song Doot Doot (6 7) and popularized through clips of basketball star LeMelo Ball, had Vance’s own five-year-old repeating the numbers obsessively during church, he said. Vance called for a “narrow exception to the First Amendment,” while lamenting the bewildering nature of modern viral trends.

Former Senator Claire McCaskill warned that the Trump administration could be undone by last month’s controversial boat strike in the Caribbean, which reportedly targeted survivors clinging to wreckage — actions that whistleblowers say may constitute war crimes. Appearing on MSNBC, McCaskill slammed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for withholding video footage, arguing the administration’s secrecy proves how damaging the strike is. She also criticized Trump’s handling of the military and highlighted growing Republican concern, calling the episode a “story that will consume” the administration until fully exposed.

Host cities for the 2026 World Cup are staring down a combined $250 million shortfall after what insiders call a disastrous, lopsided deal with FIFA — one so restrictive cities can’t even partner with local businesses to recoup costs. With FIFA keeping nearly all expected revenue and governments left holding the bag, sources describe the event as “the worst deal in World Cup history,” raising fears of cutbacks, financial desperation, and political fallout tied to Donald Trump’s close ties to FIFA leadership.

Nobel Prize–winning economist Paul Krugman said Donald Trump could have avoided today’s economic backlash if he’d simply kept Biden’s policies with a few “cosmetic changes.” Instead, Krugman argued, Trump’s sweeping tariffs and denial of economic problems have backfired, leaving him unable to blame Democrats without admitting his own failures — and turning his so-called upcoming “affordability tour” into a political disaster.

A rising Gen Z MAGA star with millions of followers is openly breaking with the movement’s standard-bearer, signaling a crack in Trump’s online youth base. Conservative influencer and Fox News analyst Brett Cooper told NPR she’s not interested in parroting Trump’s every line, criticizing him for claiming Americans lack high-skilled talent and for brushing off soaring prices as a “Democratic hoax.” Cooper — whose YouTube show reaches a massive audience — said her disappointment reflects the mood of young conservatives who don’t view loyalty to Trump as a requirement.

Donald Trump erupted on Truth Social Tuesday night, accusing The New York Times of committing “sedition” and even “treason” for reporting on his apparent physical and cognitive decline. Fresh off a meandering Pennsylvania speech that drifted far from its billed focus on affordability, Trump insisted he is the “hardest-working” president in history and raged that any suggestion he’s “slowing up” is a deliberate lie. He attacked the outlet as “Enemies of the People” and said the country would be better off if it “ceased publication,” even as medical experts point to recent cognitive tests, MRIs, and visible physical changes as signs of his deteriorating health.

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. Pressed on quotes calling workers “f------ idiots” and “f------ incompetent,” Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) denied everything — even accusing police officers who documented the incident of lying. As Collins repeatedly challenged her denials, the congresswoman insisted the entire report was “100% fictitious,” dismissing the detailed transcripts and footage as false.
