Down from seven correspondents to four on “60 Minutes” after CBS News head Bari Weiss took a wrecking ball to the popular Sunday night newsmagazine, there are fears about the coming season’s launch as well as its long-term viability.

According to the Washington Post, newly fired correspondent Scott Pelley “ignited a firestorm in a Monday meeting, questioning the credentials of the show’s new boss, Nick Bilton, accusing CBS News head Bari Weiss of 'murdering' the show, and demanding answers about why his colleagues, including fellow correspondents Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega, were fired the previous Thursday.”

President Donald Trump raged at the four "bad Republicans" who voted with the Democratic minority to end his war against Iran.

Nobel Prize-winning economist turned political commentator Paul Krugman had a scathing review of President Donald Trump's latest attempt to impose sweeping global tariffs.

Trump has already lost multiple court battles over his tariffs. He first tried to enact a worldwide "reciprocal" import tax scheme under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), only for the Supreme Court to invalidate this. He then pushed a 10 percent global tariff under a different law, only for the Court of International Trade to rule that illegal too.

Ohio Senate Republicans muscled a photo voter ID constitutional amendment through their chamber on Wednesday, just weeks after introducing it, and conservatives are already balking over what's missing from the text.

The Senate cleared Senate Joint Resolution 10 by a 22-9 margin, with the Statehouse News Bureau reporting the measure could land on November ballots if the House signs off as soon as next week. Photo ID has been required at Ohio polling places since 2023, but Republican leaders argue the existing statute isn't enough and want voters to lock the requirement into the state constitution.

A former White House staffer from President Donald Trump's first term revealed the source of his animus toward a particular reporter.

The 79-year-old president lashed out Wednesday at CNN's Kaitlan Collins when she asked about his $1.8 billion fund set up to provide financial compensation to Jan. 6 rioters and other political allies, and former White House staffer Sarah Matthews discussed the incident on CNN's "NewsNight."

With their primary two weeks away, Georgia Republicans are waiting nervously for Donald Trump’s endorsement in the GOP race for one of Georgia's two U.S. Senate seats, fearing a longer delay could have a huge impact not just on the eventual nominee, but also on November’s general election.

According to a report from Politico, the Tuesday primary in Iowa, where MAGA-friendly Rep. Randy Feenstra (R) was upset, despite getting the president's coveted endorsement to be the next governor four days before the election, is serving as a red flag to Georgia GOP insiders.

The Supreme Court's Tuesday night decision clearing Alabama to use a congressional map that federal judges found was built on intentional racial discrimination wasn't just a voting rights ruling, according to former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance. It was a signal flare, and Democrats had better be paying attention.

In her Civil Discourse newsletter, Vance called the decision the culmination of a 13-year assault on Black voting power that began with Shelby County v. Holder, accelerated through last month's Callais ruling gutting Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, and landed with this week's per curiam order blessing maps that a three-judge panel had already found were tainted by intentional discrimination.

Senate Republicans are bracing for an end-of-week slog of votes as tension continues to build with the Trump White House, Punchbowl News reported on Thursday morning.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) and Whip John Barrasso (R-WY) face "a marathon of twisting arms and whipping votes on two pieces of legislation that have little in common" other than the fact that "Trump has made passing them much harder than it needed to be," said the report — namely, the passage of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) authorization, and the Homeland Security reconciliation package to fund immigration enforcement.

Donald Trump was up, once again, after 1 a.m., posting on Truth Social early Thursday, this time accusing California election officials of trying to steal Tuesday’s primary election from Republicans.

Despite it being common knowledge that in California mail-in ballots received after Election Day — as long as they are postmarked by Election Day and received within seven days — are acceptable, the 79-year-old president was furious about the delay and claimed an investigation is underway.

President Donald Trump has privately told aides he would consider resuming bombing campaigns against Iran under one specific condition, and it has the fragile ceasefire teetering on the edge.

Trump privately told aides he would consider ending the ceasefire if Tehran becomes responsible for the deaths of American troops, according to U.S. officials cited by the Wall Street Journal. The president has signaled a willingness to tolerate smaller military flare-ups for weeks or even months rather than risk a broader conflict.

A self-described "MAGA lefty" stunned political analysts and observers on Wednesday by calling on President Donald Trump to issue new stimulus checks because of the impact of his tariffs.

Batya Ungar-Sargon, a political commentator, called on Trump to issue the checks during a panel discussion on CNN's "NewsNight" with host Abby Phillip. She said the impact of Trump's tariffs has been disastrous to Trump's voters, and it is unclear whether Trump is aware of the impact.

The House Ethics Committee has sent letters to former committee members asking them to provide information about leaks stemming from a case that was later dismissed, according to a new report.

NOTUS reported on Wednesday that the Ethics Committee is investigating leaks stemming from allegations of impropriety against Rep. Jim Costa (D-CA). Costa was accused of making inappropriate advances toward staff members in 2023, and details of the case were later leaked to NOTUS.
