Supreme Court justice sends shockwaves in dissent: 'Rules for thee, but not for me'

A Supreme Court Justice sent shockwaves on Monday after she blasted a new unsigned order handed down by her conservative colleagues in a blistering dissent.

The Supreme Court issued a stay on a lower court's order allowing New York lawmakers to redraw the state's 11th Congressional District to make it more favorable to Democrats.

Fury as 'embarrassing' video drops of House GOP 'making a mockery' of Epstein deposition

Political analysts and observers were outraged on Monday after seeing the video of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's deposition from last week.

Clinton was deposed by members of the House Oversight Committee for roughly six hours about her relationship with the disgraced financier and convicted sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein. During the deposition, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) shared a photo from inside the hearing room, which caused the interview to be temporarily suspended. Multiple other Republican lawmakers also asked Clinton about numerous conspiracy theories like Pizzagate, which caused some analysts to assume that they were "making a mockery" of the investigation into a convicted sex criminal.

Trump's marquee legislation now reverberating through hospitals

President Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," a $1 trillion healthcare cut, is triggering a crisis across rural America, forcing hospital closures and threatening Republican midterm prospects. The Congressional Budget Office projects 10 million Americans will lose insurance coverage over the next decade, with Medicaid work requirements alone eliminating 7.5 million people's coverage. Combined with Republican refusal to extend enhanced ACA subsidies, hospitals face catastrophic consequences. St. Mary's Sacred Heart Hospital in Georgia closed its maternity ward. MercyOne in Iowa shuttered clinics and laid off staff. Trinity Health projects $1.5 billion in annual revenue losses. Northern Light Health in Maine anticipates $27 million annual revenue drops. The bill simultaneously cuts provider taxes and eliminates special payment mechanisms, forcing hospitals to treat uninsured patients without reimbursement. Republicans face escalating political backlash in battleground states as hospital closures dominate local politics.

MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace says MAGA got a 'generational stabbing in the back' from Trump

President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran was one of the biggest betrayals of his own voting base yet, MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace said on Monday — and she compared Trump's past words to his actions now in a devastating sequence of clips.

"Our current strategy of nation-building and regime change is a proven absolute failure," said Trump in one clip. "We have created the vacuums that allow terrorism to grow and thrive. These globalists want to squander all of America's strength, blood, and treasure chasing phantoms overseas while keeping us distracted from the havoc they're creating right here at home."

Trump just forever changed who can next run for president: analyst

Politico columnist Alexander Burns argues that President Donald Trump's second-term actions implemented irreversible changes to American foreign policy and diplomacy. Trump has pursued dominance assertions ranging from Venezuela and Greenland to military strikes on Iran and botched NATO trade negotiations, confirming warnings former President Joe Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris made during the 2024 campaign. Burns contends that future presidents cannot simply restore previous diplomatic approaches. Détente with Iran and Cuba that former President Barack Obama pursued has permanently closed. America's credibility as a trade negotiator is "changed forever," making restoration of Bush-era trade relations impossible. NATO's relationship with the U.S. cannot revert to 1998 levels through rhetoric alone. Burns criticizes Biden's failed efforts to repair norms and repair democratic institutions, arguing that the window to bridge to the twentieth century has permanently closed.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton lost her patience with a MAGA lawmaker during her nearly six-hour deposition last week, new video footage shows.

Lauren Boebert (R-CO) whether she reviewed any materials in the recently released Jeffrey Epstein files that discussed the infamous Pizzagate conspiracy theory, which claimed Democrats were running a child sex trafficking ring out of the basement of a Washington, D.C.-based pizzeria. The question seemed to bother Clinton and her lawyers, one of whom characterized the theory as "wacky."
