'We're going to lose the House': Frustrated GOP insider begs Republicans to 'wake up'

When a special election for a U.S. House of Representatives seat in Tennessee's 7th Congressional District was held on Tuesday, Democrats didn't realistically expect their candidate, Aftyn Behn, to defeat GOP nominee Matt Van Epps. And she didn't: Van Epps won by roughly 8.5 percent, according to the New York Times.

But Democratic strategists were paying close attention to the margins, and 8 percent wasn't a huge win in light of the fact that Donald Trump carried that district by 22 percent in the 2024 presidential election.

Trump coverup 'probably on a path to failure' as Hegseth excuses 'unravel': conservative

The Trump administration has already doomed its attempt to cover up a possible criminal act by embattled Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, according to a conservative columnist.

Hegseth reportedly gave a verbal directive to "kill everybody" in a missile attack on a suspected drug smuggling boat, and the White House confirmed that Adm. Frank Bradley then ordered a follow-up strike after drone footage showed two survivors, but The Bulwark's William Kristol faulted the administration for releasing any information at all about the incident.

'It’s not tariffs!' White House bristles over gloomy new economic report

One of President Donald Trump's top economic advisors is scrambling to blame anything but tariffs after a new jobs report indicated that they might be 'hammering" small business jobs, a move the New Republic dismissed as "only damage control."

“No, no, it’s not tariffs,” Lutnik told CNBC’s Sara Eisen. “Remember, you had the Democratic shutdown, right, and what do you think happens to small businesses, the people who do business with the U.S. government? They know they’re not getting paid, so they slow down their projects.

'Are you daft?' Senate Republican ruthlessly mocked after boast about Trump's health

A day after President Donald Trump went viral after falling asleep during a cabinet meeting following an all-night Truth Social posting binge, some Republican loyalists spent Wednesday trying to spin the narrative to say that Trump is nothing short of the Energizer Bunny and the picture of perfect health.

Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KY), who also happens to be a physician, went on Newsmax saying, "I'm a pretty hard worker. I'll work 110 hours a week. He outworks me. He's the first person I've ever known that works harder than I do. He runs around that golf course. He goes through staff members, several groups of them each day. He's in incredible shape right now. And you talk about sharp. He's playing 4-dimensional chess right now."

'Trump is exposed': Columnist speculates who 'will deliver the final blow' to president

A columnist Wednesday described the "awkward déjà vu" in Washington, D.C. as President Donald Trump shows visible decline and the question arising: who, or what, will push him out or succeed him.

The Daily Beast's Joanna Coles, Chief Creative and Content Officer, described in a column how Trump, who has repeatedly attacked former President Joe Biden's cognitive abilities, frequently suggested that Biden was mentally unfit to serve as president, mockingly portrayed Biden as senile, referenced his age and apparent moments of confusion, has now faced the same concerns and criticism over his own mental and health capacity.
