A political analyst flagged a startling possibility as reports indicate the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner may not have happened as it seemed.

On Saturday, reports indicated that a lone alleged gunman, Cole Allen, rushed through security at the Washington Hilton and fired multiple rounds, striking one Secret Service agent, before being apprehended by law enforcement. The rounds allegedly were fired multiple floors below where the press, President Donald Trump, and members of Trump's cabinet were located.

Oil industry analyst Patrick De Haan was stunned on Wednesday as gas prices surged faster than he has ever remembered seeing.

In fact, he said on X, they're rising so fast in some parts of the country that the computer system he uses to keep track of it can't even keep up.

Political commentator Piers Morgan cooked up a devastating montage of President Donald Trump's violent rhetoric that he played on Wednesday during a fiery takedown of a MAGA pundit's talking point.

Morgan had MAGA commentator Clay Travis, conservative radio host Ben Ferguson, Democratic strategist Mike Nellis, and liberal YouTuber Cenk Uygur on a new episode of his show, "Piers Morgan Uncensored." During the panel segment, Travis and Ferguson both claimed that the violent rhetoric espoused by Democrats had inspired the alleged shooter at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday.

The collapse, and constant flux, of this week's legislative schedule caused a meltdown within the House Republican caucus on Wednesday, as members went at each other's throats over the failure to pass major priorities.

Sen. Chuck Grassley, 92, (R-IA), befuddled his colleagues on the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday when he was caught on a hot mic questioning some of the answers that witnesses were giving.

The committee met to question several of President Donald Trump's judicial nominees, and some Democrats asked the nominees who won the 2020 general election. There have been multiple hearings where Democrats have asked Trump judicial nominees the same question, and they have refused to say outright that former President Joe Biden won the election.

Beleaguered ultra-low-cost carrier Spirit Airlines is in such dire shape that it could be "days" from being forced to liquidate without an agreement on a government bailout, CBS News' Jennifer Jacobs and Kris Van Cleave reported on Wednesday.

The problem is that not all of Spirit's major creditors are supportive of the deal on the table, which would involve a $500 million infusion in return for up to 90 percent equity for the federal government.

LIV Golf, the controversial golf league propped up by the Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund, is on the brink of collapse, the Wall Street Journal reported — and it comes as Trump's golf clubs, that have hosted their events at exorbitant sums, continue to try to promote them.

The problem, reported the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday, is that the Saudi funding is going away.
