Political commentator Jim Acosta warned that Donald Trump “may not make it to the end of this term,” arguing on Fast Politics that the 79-year-old president is showing stark signs of decline just a year into his second run in the White House. Acosta said Trump’s inner circle has shifted from treating him like a “dear leader” to a “goodnight grandpa,” with cabinet members effectively soothing him through meetings as he avoids rallies, press conferences, and anything requiring sustained stamina. Describing a president who seems “extremely tired,” increasingly detached, and far removed from the figure he covered on the campaign trail, Acosta said Trump’s fading public presence — from phoned-in events to rambling outbursts — raises real questions about whether he can handle the rest of his presidency.

White House adviser Stephen Miller erupted on Fox News in a furious rant claiming that entire generations of immigrants and their descendants “fail” in America, singling out Somali immigrants as he shouted about crime, welfare, and “replicating” supposedly failing societies in the U.S. Miller declared that post-1965 immigration was the “largest experiment” ever inflicted on a civilization and blamed immigrants for everything from test scores to public policy challenges, escalating into a full-blown meltdown as he insisted the country would “replicate the conditions” of nations he labeled failures.

Gene Simmons, legendary frontman and bassist for KISS, sharply criticized lawmakers on Tuesday while testifying before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Intellectual Property.

Speaking in support of the American Music Fairness Act — a bill that would require AM/FM radio stations to pay royalties for sound recordings — Simmons argued that a decades-old loophole has deprived generations of American artists, from Bing Crosby to Elvis Presley, of fair compensation whenever their songs are played on the radio.

A federal judge ripped into the Trump administration for “misleading” Epstein victims and the public after the DOJ sought to unseal Ghislaine Maxwell’s records while pretending it was a major act of transparency. Judge Paul Engelmayer accused the department of using the move as a distraction from the looming court-ordered release of its full Epstein files, blasting officials for paying “lip service” to victims while pushing a request that added nothing to public knowledge. The rebuke landed as Trump faced intensifying scrutiny over his past ties to Epstein and pushes for grand jury testimony critics say is meant to divert attention from far more revealing DOJ documents.

The Supreme Court fell silent when Justice Sonia Sotomayor blasted President Donald Trump's Solicitor General D. John Sauer for arguing presidents should be able to fire independent agency officials at will, warning his bid would “destroy the structure of government.” Sauer insisted the sky wouldn’t fall if the Court overturned the 90-year Humphrey’s Executor precedent, but Sotomayor’s sharp claim that he was letting presidents “do more than the law permits” forced him to hurriedly walk back his argument.

Katie Miller’s sweeping claims of “terroristic” threats against her family unraveled after a police report revealed the supposed danger was nothing more than non-threatening political chalk outside her $3.75 million home. Despite her Fox News warnings of doxing, death threats, and unsafe neighbors, Virginia police found no crimes — undercutting her recent dramatic retellings and her vow that the family “will not cower in fear,” even as they quietly moved to a military base.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s leadership is deteriorating under the weight of mounting war-crimes allegations, triggering a wave of resignations from Pentagon officials who want no part of the chaos he’s unleashed. Reporting on MS NOW’s Morning Joe, Atlantic correspondent Nancy Youssef said that while Donald Trump isn’t on the brink of firing Hegseth, the fallout from disputed “double-tap” strikes, lawsuits from victims’ families, and a growing stack of questions about his judgment has left his credibility in shambles. Inside the Pentagon, officials fear they’ll end up like Admiral Bradley — carrying out Hegseth’s orders only to shoulder the political and moral blowback he’s created.

Donald Trump grew visibly irritated when Politico’s Dasha Burns pressed him on the looming end of Affordable Care Act subsidies, snapping “don’t be dramatic” as she tried to explain that Americans will see their premiums spike in just two weeks. In a 45-minute interview filled with rambling detours and deflections, Trump dodged direct questions about whether he’d urge Congress to extend Obamacare subsidies, instead launching into attacks on Democrats and accusing them of being “owned” by insurance companies. As Burns repeatedly pushed for clarity, Trump insisted he’s “giving them money” and promised “better health insurance for less,” even though he offered no plan to prevent the immediate premium hikes families are bracing for.

President Donald Trump erupted on Truth Social Monday, accusing Mexico of violating a decades-old water treaty and demanding the immediate release of hundreds of thousands of acre-feet of water he claims the U.S. is owed — or face a new 5% tariff. Trump insisted the alleged shortfall is harming Texas farmers and said he’s already authorized paperwork to impose penalties if Mexico doesn’t comply. It’s the latest in a string of water-related grievances Trump has lobbed at Mexico, even as the Supreme Court prepares to rule on whether he actually has the authority to unilaterally impose tariffs without Congress under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act — a decision that could upend his threats and force him to seek workarounds.

President Donald Trump is quietly signaling that his health — and his hold on power — are slipping, according to a foreign policy analyst who says the 79-year-old president’s public dozing, swelling, bruising and fixation on legacy projects suggest he knows his time is running out. On The Daily Beast Podcast, analyst David Rothkopf argued that Trump’s visible decline has Washington taking notice, even as top allies like JD Vance and Marco Rubio jockey for position as the president nods off beside them at events. Rothkopf said Trump’s increasingly desperate push to rename major institutions after himself reflects a leader who fears he is “shuffling off this mortal coil sooner rather than later.”

A new column by The Atlantic’s David Graham highlights a jaw-dropping moment from Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino’s recent Fox News interview, in which he effectively admitted that his past MAGA media claims — including the false allegation that the government planted the Jan. 6 pipe bombs — were paid-for opinions rather than fact-based assertions. Speaking to Sean Hannity, Bongino said he once “was paid… for my opinions,” but now must rely on evidence in his FBI role, a confession Graham calls “astonishing” and emblematic of right-wing media figures who openly acknowledge pushing baseless narratives. Graham warns that Bongino’s casual admission on Fox News raises serious questions about his credibility, especially if he returns to his former role as a pundit.

Foreign policy analyst David Rothkopf delivered a dire forecast for Donald Trump’s political future, warning on The Daily Beast Podcast that the president’s next year will be “hell” if Republicans lose either chamber in the 2026 midterms. Rothkopf argued that the visible impact of Trump’s immigration crackdowns — including ICE detaining people in cities “whether they did anything wrong or not” — will fuel voter backlash that the GOP can’t escape. He said Democrats are poised for major gains, and if they take the House or Senate, Trump won’t be able to talk his way out of accountability: impeachment proceedings could begin, cabinet officials could be targeted, his agenda would collapse, and at 80 years old, Trump’s political era could effectively end.
