Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio called Zoran Mamdani’s commanding lead in the Democratic mayoral primary a “staggering” development Tuesday night, and added that the Democratic socialist’s strong performance marked “an amazing upset” in the nation’s largest city.

Reacting on CNN as the network projected the closely watched race would head to ranked-choice tabulations with Mamdani falling short of the 50% threshold, de Blasio said he was surprised to see former Gov. Andrew Cuomo – widely seen as the frontrunner heading into election night – in second place.

The GOP is calling in the big guns to push President Donald Trump's beloved tax and spending bill over the finish line.

Politico reported on Tuesday that Dr. Mehmet Oz is taking meetings with Senators to try and convince them to support the "One Big, Beautiful Bill Act." Trump imposed a deadline of July 4 for passing the bill, and Republican leadership appears eager to meet that deadline.

Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) and CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins clashed on Tuesday night over the veracity of a leaked report about the U.S. bombing campaign in Iran.

Earlier in the day, CNN reported that the bombing of three nuclear facilities in Iran only set the regime back by a couple of months. That conclusion seems to contradict the description offered by President Donald Trump on Monday, when he said on Truth Social that the bombs "OBLITERATED" the three facilities.

President Donald Trump unloaded a late-night tirade Tuesday against multiple top media outlets whom he accused of trying to "demean" what he called one of the "most successful military strikes in history," referring to the U.S. bombing of three Iranian nuclear facilities.

After Trump's Middle East envoy melted down on Fox News over the leaking of an intelligence report to CNN, Trump himself blasted CNN, along with The New York Times, which also received the top secret report. The initial U.S. intelligence assessment undercut Trump's boast that Iran's nuclear program had been "obliterated."

After months of leading the charge against Medicaid cuts in the GOP’s reconciliation bill, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) now appears to have suddenly changed his tune.

Once the Senate’s most vocal opponent of any Medicaid reductions, Hawley now says he’d “be fine” with most of the proposed cuts, as long as one key provision gets fixed, according to a new report in NOTUS.

A key strategist behind Republicans' push to cut over half a trillion dollars from Medicaid by imposing new supposed anti-fraud controls has himself benefited massively from a federal program with virtually no oversight, Politico reported on Tuesday evening.

"Brian Blase is president of Paragon Health Institute, which has taken on a high-profile role in the effort in Congress to slash Medicaid costs through work requirements and other reforms," said the report. Blase has previously "called Medicaid America’s 'most flawed' entitlement program while advocating for changes that would reduce spending on the program by hundreds of billions of dollars."

Senate Republicans face a major problem with President Donald Trump's megabill: "a mathematical double-whammy," according to a new report.

The Senate version of Trump's megabill is roughly $400 billion more expensive than the version that the House of Representatives passed. That could force Senators to include deeper cuts to programs like Medicaid, which some moderate members of the GOP see as a political liability.
