Fox News host Sean Hannity ended Tuesday's episode of his podcast, "Hang Out with Sean Hannity," with a disclaimer that some political analysts flagged as "notable."

The 90-minute episode featured an interview with Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche that spanned several conspiracy theories about alleged Democratic conspiracies to charge President Donald Trump with crimes. The allegations became so caustic that producers felt the need to slap a disclaimer at the end of the video before it was published on YouTube.

Texas saw a potential shakeup in government on Tuesday, as Secretary of State Jane Nelson announced her resignation, effective July 17.

The city of Bakersfield, California, was rocked on Tuesday as a man claiming to have a bomb strapped to his chest took a hostage at a Chase Bank in the city's downtown area.

Political analysts and observers were horrified on Tuesday after a Republican congressman shut down questions from a Democratic colleague about Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's handling of the Epstein files during a committee hearing.

Legendary Democratic strategist James Carville took a few swings at President Donald Trump on Tuesday's edition of Ari Melber's "The Beat," pointing out his health decline — as he has done on prior occasions — but also his total lack of interest in working on major policy issues that are rapidly beginning to define his second term.

Nothing better exemplifies this, he and Melber agreed, than Trump's repeated recent claims that he doesn't care about Americans' financial situation because the Iran war is more important. When a reporter asked Trump to what extent Americans' financial situation was motivating him to make a deal with Iran, Trump was blunt: "Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans' financial situation. I don't think about anybody. I think about one thing: we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon."

President Donald Trump's executive order seizing federal control of mail-in voting is in peril after a federal judge in Massachusetts gave it a cold reception in court this week.

According to Bloomberg Law, U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani "pressed the Justice Department on the president’s order for the Department of Homeland Security to draw up a list of confirmed citizens, which states could use in creating a list of eligible mail-in voters to provide to the US Postal Service," sounding skeptical that this was a valid exercise.

President Donald Trump's administration stunned political analysts and observers on Tuesday by appointing a convicted Jan. 6 rioter to a key counterterrorism job, according to a new report.

The office " oversees and advocates for Special Operations and Irregular Warfare throughout the Department of War to ensure these capabilities are resourced, ready, and properly employed in accordance with the National Defense Strategy," according to its website.
