Younger generations are losing faith in the American dream, and CNN's Harry Enten said those "depressing" findings are showing up in political polling.

There's an observable generational divide in how Americans view their prospects versus their parents, Enten said. In 2000, 72 percent said life opportunities were better, versus just 5 percent who said worse. A decade ago, "better" still led, 44 percent to 25 percent, but today that has flipped – 45 percent now say opportunities are worse, versus just 33 percent who say better, a nearly 40-point drop in optimism and a 40-point rise in pessimism since the turn of the century.

There's a hidden workforce keeping the U.S. Senate running, and its members would rather you not notice them.

They're the body people — young aides who shadow senators through the Capitol's maze of tunnels, subways and reporter scrums, known informally as the "Body Guy Caucus," though some are women, according to a new report from NOTUS.

The U.S. Supreme Court has again turned down President Donald Trump, rejecting his last bid to overturn the roughly $5.6 million judgment won by writer E. Jean Carroll, whom a New York jury found he sexually abused and defamed.

The justices denied Trump's petition for rehearing on Monday — his attempt to get the court to reconsider its June 29 refusal to hear his appeal. After that first denial, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan on July 8 ordered the disputed sum, the original $5 million verdict plus interest, released to Carroll, who has since collected it.

Foreign policy analyst and think-tank executive Trita Parsi shared a photo Sunday of what he claimed were messages U.S. service members wrote in the dust on an aircraft wing in the Persian Gulf – messages that viciously mocked President Donald Trump and his deeply unpopular war against Iran.

Parsi claimed that the unverified photo was “sent to me from the field,” and appears to show the flap of an aircraft with countless messages scribbled into a thick layer of dust. Among them are several criticizing the U.S.-Iran conflict.

A Department of Homeland Security undercover agent lost a concealed recording device on the floor of a Minneapolis church gymnasium that a federal court had barred DHS from investigating.

University Baptist Church in Minneapolis's Dinkytown neighborhood is a member of the Alliance of Baptists and the American Baptist Churches USA — both of which are covered by a federal injunction blocking DHS from conducting immigration enforcement actions at their properties.

One of President Donald Trump's most striking 2024 gains is evaporating just months before the midterms, according to CNN's Harry Enten.

Hispanic men delivered a historically strong performance for Trump in that election, backing him over Kamala Harris by 10 points. But in an average of polls taken this year, Trump's net approval rating among that group has plunged to 41 points underwater — a swing of roughly 51 points against the president.

A new Washington, DC vandalism claim made by President Donald Trump on Sunday night did not survive the light of day on Monday morning.

Late Sunday night, the president flew into a rage that appeared to be aimed at US Attorney Jeanine Pirro, and posted an aerial shot of the lawn on the Washington Mall that showed extensive damage.

President Donald Trump is racing ahead of a stalled study of childhood vaccines led by top health official Robert F. Kennedy Jr. – who has failed to deliver the bombshell findings he promised at the start.

Kennedy told the president he could pinpoint what's driving the rise in autism diagnoses, but more than a year into the job, he hasn't delivered — and Trump is growing impatient, reported CBS News.

Attorney General Todd Blanche made a number of controversial statements Sunday during an appearance on NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” but one “telling” remark appeared to fly completely under the radar, one that Zeteo’s Martin Pengelly flagged as a major “Freudian slip.”

During his interview with NBC News' Kristen Welker, Blanche refused to pledge he'd act independently of the White House and declined to rule out payments to Jan. 6 Capitol rioters. But it was when Welker pressed him on whether he'd defy President Donald Trump if asked to do something that "crosses an ethical or legal line" that Blanche let slip what Pengelly characterized as an unintentional admission.

Republicans fearing a wipeout at the polls in November just had their worst fears confirmed by three new polls.

According to a report from Axios, President Donald Trump's approval numbers are in a death spiral, with the face of the Republican Party experiencing a stunning double-digit drop among non-MAGA voters in just a single week.

Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) set the rumor mill churning by highlighting President Donald Trump's close personal aide in a speech over the weekend.

The Georgia Democrat blasted the 80-year-old president's handling of the war in Iran, and he made brief mention of Trump's executive assistant Natalie Harp, who follows the president around with a portable printer so he doesn't strain his eyes looking at screens and has reportedly raised concerns from the Secret Service for her admiring notes to him.

Attorney General Todd Blanche was on the receiving end of an attack from MS NOW host Joe Scarborough over his responses to questions about President Donald Trump’s actions over the weekend.

On “Morning Joe, the segment began with a clip of Blanche fielding questions from “Meet the Press” host Kristen Welker, where he double-talked his way around questions about the president's pardons of Jan. 6 insurrectionists.

Academic Tom Nichols believes he's cracked the code on why President Donald Trump made the "insane" decision Sunday to scale down joint military exercises with longtime ally South Korea – and it comes down to the president's "unbearable" and "ongoing humiliation."

Trump took to Truth Social Sunday to announce that he’d instructed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to “substantially reduce” the United States’ participation in its annual joint military exercise with South Korea, which has been conducted for more than 70 years. In the same social media post, Trump also complained about South Korea’s refusal to assist in the deeply unpopular U.S. war against Iran.
