Dr. Mehmet Oz, the administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, befuddled an analyst on Wednesday by making several wild claims about President Donald Trump's health during the daily press briefing.

Oz was asked by reporters about why Trump gets multiple physicals per year when most other people only get one. His answer raised eyebrows.

Thousands of Albanians have protested for four consecutive days against a proposed €4 billion ($4.7 billion) luxury resort linked to Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, on Sazan Island and the protected Vjosa-Narta coastal wetlands.

"It's an unbelievable, beautiful, 1,400-hectare private island in the middle of the Mediterranean," Ivanka said in conversation with David Senra.

The New York Times editorial board issued a blistering verdict on President Donald Trump's appointment of Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence Wednesday, concluding that his ousted predecessor, Tulsi Gabbard, widely criticized as unqualified herself, "almost seems qualified in comparison."

The editorial board's assessment lands as bipartisan Senate opposition to Pulte continues to grow, with Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) both saying they don't even know whether Pulte has been cleared to handle classified information.

President Donald Trump showed off a surprising size chart during a press gaggle in the Oval Office on Wednesday, leaving onlookers stunned.

Trump held up a chart comparing the size of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool renovation project underway to famous skyscrapers such as the Willis Tower in Chicago, the Empire State Building, and One World Trade Center in New York. The chart was titled, "Our Pool is Bigger than Skyscrapers."

A federal judge's ruling stripping President Donald Trump's name from the Kennedy Center may have saved the iconic performing arts venue — or set the stage for its slow death, according to a new Daily Beast analysis.

U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper's ruling ordered Trump's name removed from the building within two weeks and halted a planned two-year closure for renovations. The order proved a victory for arts advocates who erupted in celebration, but that win may be short-lived.

Democratic candidates are capitalizing on widespread dissatisfaction in Iowa's agricultural sector, where tariffs, Medicaid cuts, and rising fertilizer and diesel costs from the Iran war have devastated farmers.

Iowa, which President Donald Trump won by 13 points 18 months ago, is now experiencing record farm foreclosures and skyrocketing suicide rates, reports Politico.

A former federal prosecutor warned on Wednesday that President Donald Trump is hiding the enormous cost of his most heinous scandal right under the noses of Americans.

Harry Litman, a former deputy assistant attorney general, argued in a new Substack essay that Trump's "[lurching] from scandal to scandal like a drunken sailor" had effectively distracted the American public from his intensified bombing campaigns in South America. He added that the strikes have not only killed close to 200 people, but also "violate the law and bring our country into disrepute."

The House of Representatives has voted to limit President Donald Trump's war powers in Iran.

House Democrats had been introducing such resolutions again and again to put pressure on Republicans, who had been consistently voting them down. However, this time, just enough Republicans crossed the aisle to pass the measure, with four GOP lawmakers joining in a 215-208 vote.

Senate Republicans removed nearly $1 billion in White House ballroom security funding from their immigration package after the Senate parliamentarian determined the provision violated budgetary requirements.

The ruling would have allowed Democrats to filibuster the bill and block $70 billion in ICE and border patrol funding, according to CNN.

Joe Rogan used a wide-ranging conversation with screenwriter Joe Eszterhas on Wednesday to unload on the Trump administration's immigration enforcement — warning that a militarized, unidentified police force on American streets sets a dangerous precedent regardless of who's in power.

"It is a very slippery slope when you give people — and they're trained for seven weeks — this militarized police force that has no identification on the streets," Rogan said on an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience. "That's a precedent that you might like when it's for a cause that you support, but that could easily be for a cause that you do not support."

President Donald Trump lashed out again at CNN's Kaitlan Collins on Wednesday during a press gaggle in the Oval Office after she asked him about whether his so-called "anti-weaponization" fund is dead or just on hold.

Trump's Department of Justice sought to establish the $1.776 billion anti-weaponization fund as part of a settlement between the Trump administration and the IRS over a 2019 case involving Trump's leaked tax returns. The fund was intended to pay people who claimed they were wrongfully prosecuted by the government, and has faced significant bipartisan criticism after some of the president's allies said they would seek restitution.

President Donald Trump's latest string of controversial decisions and bad publicity is enraging Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill, who feel it's starting to disrupt their efforts to pass major legislation.

According to Punchbowl News' Andrew Desiderio, "Senate Republicans [are] very frustrated that Trump [and] his admin are dropping these things seemingly without regard for what’s happening in the Senate at that moment."
