Joe Biden

Vice President JD Vance sparked instant outrage Thursday by slipping a political joke into his remarks about attending the 25th anniversary ceremony of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

The moment unfolded while Vance hosted a White House press briefing, where he initially described the 9/11 ceremony as “an amazing honor” that he said he was “looking forward to.”

“I think that sense of commonality and common purpose that we all had on 9/11, that’s something that we should really try every single day to get back to,” Vance said....

President Donald Trump was photographed clutching a briefing "cheat sheet" that Republicans once called irrefutable proof of Joe Biden's dementia.

During a Tuesday podcast episode, progressive commentator David Pakman seized on the image and hammered at what he framed as a bottomless well of Republican hypocrisy over presidential fitness. The photo was taken on Monday in the Oval Office, where Trump honored a sixteen-year-old lifeguard from California and the ten-year-old he rescued.

"There are legitimate reasons to examine Donald Trump's fitness," Pakman said. "60 percent of voters don't think he has the mental sharpness to be president."...

A CNN panel erupted in laughter after they were shocked by what a MAGA pundit considered "cringe."

On Wednesday night, a panel hosted by CNN anchor Abby Phillip discussed how denying that President Joe Biden won the 2020 election seems to be a litmus test for winning a role in the Trump administration. Phillip started the segment by showing a clip of three Trump judicial nominees skirting around the question when asked who won the 2020 election.

The clip included Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) yelling "Be your own man!" as Adam Candeub, a nominee to be assistant antitrust attorney general, refused to answer yes or no to the question. It then showed John Cronan, nominee for the U.S. Sentencing Commission, and Gregory Cook, a nominee for U.S. judge for the Northern District of Alabama, doing the same....

Rep. James Comer (R-KY) suggested on Monday that pardons issued by former President Joe Biden should be declared "null and void," prompting a wave of reactions online.

The Chairman of the House Oversight Committee appeared on Fox Business to discuss pardons, including the preemptive pardon issued by Biden for Dr. Anthony Fauci. In an explosive new Washington Post report, new details emerged involving former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's actions and her accusations that Fauci had led a COVID coverup.

Comer argued during the live interview that Biden had never held any meetings ahead of pardons....

A Democratic lawmaker fired back at a Trump nominee after he refused to respond to questions during a confirmation hearing on Tuesday.

Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) had a direct response to Deputy White House budget director nominee Hal Duncan during his testimony before the Senate Budget Committee. Sen. Jeff Merkley had asked a pointed question of Duncan, which the nominee tried to dodge.

"Do you believe the 2020 election was rigged?" Merkley asked....

Hunter Biden started posting on X last month for the first time and has unleashed his thoughts on CNN anchor Jake Tapper, MAGA, and now one of President Donald Trump's closest advisors — Stephen Miller.

On Thursday, Biden took issue with one of Trump's longest-running insiders and White House chief of staff in a blunt comment in response to a user named Case on X, who said, "gonna need Hunter Biden to also call Stephen Miller an ugly f---."

"Stephen Miller is an ugly f---," Biden said in a cheeky response....

MS NOW host Jonathan Capehart was in the middle of criticizing Vice President JD Vance’s answer to a grieving military widower on Sunday when his co-host cut in with a correction. He took the remark back on the spot.

The panel on “The Weekend” was discussing Vance’s appearance at a CBS News town hall on Saturday. Joey Amor asked him there about the death of his wife, Master Sgt. Nicole Amor. She was one of six U.S. service members killed March 1 in an Iranian strike in Kuwait.

“There was a failure in the leadership,” Amor told Vance. “And I want to know how this administration is going to start holding those leaders accountable.”...

President Donald Trump left countless onlookers taken aback Saturday after speaking with reporters ahead of his rally in Georgia — and, according to some critics, having a difficult time doing so.

“Speaking to reporters before traveling to Georgia for a rally, Trump could barely speak, but what he said was nutso,” wrote independent journalist Aaron Rupar in a social media post on X to his more than 1.1 million followers.

Trump spoke with reporters Saturday moments after casting his early ballot in Palm Beach, Florida, and at times became combative as reporters pressed him on topics such as government corruption, golfing and the midterms....

CNN's justice correspondent singled out President Donald Trump's response to a new criminal probe targeting one of his longtime political allies.

CNN senior justice correspondent Evan Perez called the president's remarks "striking" on Thursday's episode of "The Lead with Jake Tapper," after Trump appeared to throw his weight behind the Justice Department's criminal investigation into Republican operative Corey Lewandowski.

"In fact, they've shut down investigations into people inside the administration," Perez said. "This is a remarkable one. And the president's comments there are striking."...
