Dr. Oz's 'ridiculous' claims about health insurance on Fox News leave analyst aghast

President Donald Trump's top health care chief revealed during a recent Fox News interview that he apparently doesn't know how health insurance works, according to one political analyst.

Dr. Mehmet Oz, the Trump administration's Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services administrator, discussed his efforts to combat alleged health care fraud during a recent Fox News appearance.

Hunter Biden stuns with scorched-earth rant about Trump corruption: 'Long live the King'

Hunter Biden stunned political analysts on Sunday with a scorched-earth rant about the Trump family corruption.

Last week, the New York Times reported that the Trumps had made more than $2.4 billion during their first year in office, a figure that shocked ethics experts.

Trump's 'sad' America 250 celebration dismays analyst: 'Cheap and slapped together'

At least one political analyst left President Donald Trump's July 4 celebration feeling a little let down.

Trump had spent months ginning up a story that his July 4 bash would be the biggest in American history. However, the event was marred by extreme heat, long lines, and a weather delay, which caused many people to leave the National Mall before Trump took the stage. Washington, D.C., was so hazy the morning after the fireworks that some people reported feeling a burning sensation in their lungs when they went outside.

Expert flabbergasted as court issues 'high-stakes judicial intervention' against Trump

A legal expert was flabbergasted by a recent ruling handed down against the Trump administration, calling it a "high-stakes judicial intervention" that could preserve many Americans' right to vote.

Last week, Judge Emmet G. Sullivan of the District Court for the District of Columbia ruled that the Trump administration's attempt to choke off mail-in ballots by prohibiting the U.S. Postal Service from delivering ballots after Election Day was illegal. That rule would have disenfranchised many voters, especially senior citizens and military members deployed overseas.

Trump's 'hilarious' meddling in FIFA World Cup stuns analysts: 'Man, does this look awful'

President Donald Trump reportedly intervened in the FIFA World Cup on behalf of Team USA in a way that had political analysts and sports fans holding their sides.

Team USA is scheduled to play in a high-stakes match against Belgium on Monday night, one where the Americans could advance to the quarterfinals for the first time since 2002. Initially, it appeared that the U.S. would be without one of its stars, Folarin Balogun, after he received a red card in the team's last match against Bosnia and Herzegovina. Red cards carry an automatic one-game suspension.

Karoline Leavitt’s scramble to defend ‘lazy’ attack on youth triggers MAGA backlash

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt scrambled Sunday to defend her recent comments attacking young Americans for being “raised with silver spoons in their mouths” and “getting everything handed to them,” but in doing so, only exacerbated MAGA’s outrage.

Speaking with Fox News’ Jesse Watters last week, Leavitt claimed that young Americans were suffering from "laziness" and characterized them as entitled. The remarks sparked outrage among critics across the political spectrum, many of whom noted Leavitt’s ascent to wealth as being connected to her marriage to millionaire real estate developer Nicholas Riccio, 32 years her senior.

Trump could be sued by 1M people over ‘mind-boggling’ corruption: ex-official

The Supreme Court may have granted President Donald Trump an unprecedented form of immunity for official acts, but that won't shield him from a potential flurry of lawsuits from nearly a million people, former State Department official Richard Stengel argued Sunday.

“There's been corruption of some types in the Oval Office before, but the scale of what he's doing is just beyond imagination,” Stengel said Sunday during an appearance on MS NOW.

Trump panics as Dems mobilize behind new plan: ‘They do this and the GOP is dead!’

President Donald Trump warned of the end of the Republican Party Sunday in a frantic social media post after recently learning of a new plan hatched by Democratic lawmakers.

Last month, Politico obtained a resolution drafted by a number of progressive Democratic House members that called for a major overhaul to the Supreme Court, including the implementation of term limits, additional justices and a new code of ethics. The resolution also detailed plans to terminate the filibuster, a Senate rule that effectively requires legislation to receive 60 votes before advancing.

Mike Johnson shamed by MAGA lawmaker over leadership failures: ‘Fix the problem’

A GOP lawmaker and close ally to President Donald Trump took to Fox News Sunday to issue House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) a blistering condemnation after the House GOP leader, again, sent lawmakers home on recess after facing pushback from his own party.

Johnson currently holds the record for the most failed special rule votes as leader of the House, something he’s blamed on the GOP’s slim majority in the chamber. For Rep. Jason Smith (R-MO), however, Johnson’s excuse didn’t carry much weight.
