Daytime talk show host Dr. Phil McGraw's startup right-wing cable network is declaring bankruptcy — and he's suing a prominent televangelist broadcast network he had partnered with to get it set up.

According to Variety, "Merit Street filed for bankruptcy and the related lawsuit naming TBN as a defendant with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Northern District of Texas on Wednesday (July 2). The complaint alleges that TBN, which was Merit Street’s broadcast partner, reneged on its obligations and instead 'abused its position as the controlling shareholder.' As a result, Merit Street claims in the lawsuit, it was forced to 'pay or incur obligations to third parties in excess of $100 million.'"

MAGA fans were none too happy Thursday evening as President Donald Trump endorsed a Republican Congressman often criticized by his own party for not being sufficiently conservative.

Elon Musk is being courted by one of President Donald Trump's biggest political enemies as the fallout between the two billionaires intensifies.

Legal experts and lawyers were aghast on Thursday after the Supreme Court ruled that President Donald Trump's administration can deport eight immigrants to South Sudan.

The case stemmed from an effort by the Trump administration to deport immigrants to third countries where they have no ties. A lower court issued an injunction against the deportations. However, the Supreme Court said in an unsigned order that the judge's order is "unenforceable."

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) came under ruthless mockery when, the day before the Fourth of July, she appeared to accidentally reveal she didn't understand what was in the Declaration of Independence.

It began when she threw what was meant to be a jab at House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), who referenced the Declaration of Independence while giving a record-breaking floor-speech in the House opposing President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill" of tax breaks and Medicaid cuts, which narrowly passed Congress shortly after he concluded.

President Donald Trump took a victory lap Thursday evening after House Republicans finally passed his "Big Beautiful Bill," and announced a signing celebration would be held on the Fourth of July.

The House GOP passed Trump’s marquee domestic policy bill earlier in the day in dramatic fashion, following a tense and protracted overnight session that saw Republican leaders scramble to cobble together just enough votes for passage. The final vote was 218-214, with only two Republicans — Reps. Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania — joining Democrats in opposition.

The internet erupted after Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-WI) posted, and then deleted, a comment celebrating the fact that millions of children are set to lose their food assistance benefits after Republicans voted to pass President Donald Trump's budget bill on Thursday.

Van Orden retweeted a post from an account called Logical Luminary that stated, "18 million children just lost school meals," referring to a report from the Urban Institute analyzing the impact of Trump's budget. Van Orden's retweet read "YES!" before he deleted the post.

The Republican Party may soon rue the day they passed President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill," Pod Save America's Dan Pfeiffer wrote in a lengthy post to X on Thursday — because it strikes a death blow to the very heart of the coalition they spent years cobbling together to win back power.

"The GOP just passed the most unpopular piece of legislation in history," he wrote. "It could not only cost them the majority, but it might be a generational political error that could blow up the Trump coalition and reshape politics for the foreseeable future."

President Donald Trump was leaving Joint Base Andrews on Thursday for a rally in Iowa when reporters asked him about his call with Russian President Vladimir Putin that morning.

Trump announced on Truth Social that he would have a call with Putin at 10 a.m. EDT. Trump announced earlier this week that the U.S. would no longer send some weapons it pledged to Ukraine after a "review" of military aid.

Washington Post columnist Philip Bump called out President Donald Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) for their campaign to "rebrand" the GOP's cuts to Medicaid and tax cuts to the highest wage earners.

Speaking to MSNBC on Thursday, Bump challenged stand-in host Christina Ruffini on her comment that the bill's worst provisions would be delayed.

Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg unleashed a tirade against President Donald Trump and the GOP on Thursday following the passage of their "big, beautiful bill."

The package extends tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy while slashing over $1 trillion from Medicaid, food assistance, and energy credits, massively increasing the budget for immigration detention and deportation, and adding over $2 trillion to the federal deficit.

The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that President Donald Trump's administration can deport eight migrants to South Sudan, a country that the migrants have no ties to and that is embroiled in a conflict that has displaced 13 million people since 2023.

The order was issued after the Trump administration appealed a lower court order preventing them from removing "any alien" to a country "not explicitly provided for on the alien’s order of removal."
