'That's false': WSJ editorial board catches FDA chief in lie about cancer drug rejection

The Wall Street Journal editorial board once again tore into the Trump administration's Health and Human Services officials for continuing to obfuscate why promising treatments were quashed by the Food and Drug Administration, while shuffling around people involved with that decision through important public health roles.

"Good news: Vinay Prasad on Thursday served his final day at the Food and Drug Administration," wrote the board. "Now the bad news: Commissioner Marty Makary has tapped Dr. Prasad’s deputy, Katherine Szarama, to replace him. Maybe the bigger problem at the FDA is Dr. Makary."

'Significant sign': Reporter floored as first domino falls in Trump's bid to upend Indiana

CNN commentators flagged the loss of an established Republican congressman to a Trump-backed contender during primaries on Tuesday as a "significant sign" of who's the boss in the GOP.

The race for an Indiana state senate seat was called in favor of Blake Fiechter on Tuesday. Trump threw his support behind Fiechter, a real estate agent, to beat incumbent Sen. Travis Holman after he joined with Democrats and other Republicans to vote down a measure that would have redrawn Indiana's congressional maps in favor of the GOP.

'It is a debacle': Mary Trump warns uncle about to set off 'catastrophic' crisis

President Donald Trump's niece on Tuesday flagged a potentially catastrophic consequence of his war with Iran.

Pope Leo poses huge problem for far-right Christians who 'embraced a moral filth': expert

Pope Leo XIV poses a huge problem to far-right Christian elements who have fallen in with the MAGA movement, University of Pennsylvania religious studies professor Anthea Butler told MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace on Tuesday — not just because he opposes much of Trump's war and immigration agenda, but because he sets an example for Christianity that they can't follow.

"I think, Anthea, what it reveals about how easily other religious leaders have been co-opted and become drunk with power and proximity to power also comes into sharper focus, right?" said Wallace. "The pope is doing what the pope would always do, and I'm sure the pope doesn't find any of his statements out of the ordinary. I'm sure part of him is surprised they're even newsworthy. But it does reveal how American conservative religious figures have capitulated and kowtowed to Trump over the last decade."
