Approximately 15 minutes into Donald Trump's rambling televised Cabinet meeting, MS NOW host Chris Jansing and her producers pulled the plug and called out the president for his boasts and lies about his direct-to-consumer drug program.

As the president jumped from topic to topic, the he eventually boasted, “You remember, some of you were at the news conference I had my first term where I got the prices down one eighth of a percent, one quarter, one eighth of a percent, my first term and I'm so proud of it because prices, drug prices hadn't come down in 28 years. And I was the first one to do it.”

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis presented himself as a martyr to free speech after the state Democratic Party censured him for springing an election denier from jail before her sentence ended.

The Democratic governor granted clemency to former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, who was convicted in 2024 for allowing unauthorized individuals to access her office's election system looking for fraud in the 2020 presidential contest, and a Colorado Sun political reporter flagged his appearance Wednesday in a party call.

President Donald Trump spent roughly 10 minutes of a high-stakes cabinet meeting on Wednesday — convened amid delicate negotiations to end the U.S. war with Iran — ranting about his efforts to renovate the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, falsely claiming predecessors wasted "hundreds of millions" on the landmark and repeatedly comparing it to a swimming pool.

"From 1922 on, it really never worked," Trump told cabinet members, calling the pool — which he repeatedly referred to as a "reflecting lake" — an embarrassment. "It was filthy dirty. It was Biden."

A controversial agreement granting Donald Trump immunity from IRS audits may ultimately prove worthless, according to University of Baltimore School of Law Professor Kim Wehle, who argues in a new column that it may not stand up to legal scrutiny under what are called "creative crimes."

As part of a settlement with Trump over a leaked tax return lawsuit, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche signed off on an addendum granting the president sweeping tax protections. The IRS agreed to drop all pending audits of Trump — potentially saving him an estimated $100 million in liability — and the one-page document declared the U.S. government is "forever barred and precluded" from examining or prosecuting Trump, his sons, and the Trump Organization's tax filings.

President Donald Trump had his third hospital visit in 13 months on Tuesday – purportedly for a medical and dental checkup – but despite declaring himself to be in "perfect" health after the exam, prominent physician Vin Gupta flagged a telling omission in the president's lab results on Wednesday that raised questions about his condition.

“What we see with our own eyes is difficult to ignore: his day-to-day performance as president, and often he’s falling asleep at these major Oval Office events,” Gupta, who frequently appears on MS NOW as a medical analyst, said in a video published Wednesday by Zeteo. “He seems like he has a lot of daytime somnolence.”

Veteran 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi says CBS News has effectively pushed her out after she refused to alter her explosive report on the Trump administration's deportation of Venezuelan men to El Salvador's notorious CECOT prison — and stood her ground against network boss Bari Weiss.

Alfonsi's contract expired earlier this month, and CBS News executives have made no effort to contact her representatives at talent agency UTA to negotiate a renewal, according to Variety. Her producers have been reassigned. She remains an at-will CBS employee and will continue to be paid, but she can no longer do the work of a working correspondent.

FBI Director Kash Patel has purged another longtime senior official, triggering a fresh wave of fear throughout the bureau as employees brace for what appears to be another politically motivated purge of nonpartisan agents who have drawn disfavor from President Donald Trump or Republicans.

According to MS NOW's Ken Dilanian, Deputy Assistant Director Emily Morales was summarily fired and escorted out by FBI security last Friday on orders from Patel who has been keeping a low profile after being buffeted with accusations of excessive drinking.

Americans already grappling with elevated gas prices face another inflation squeeze as severe weather, trade policy and geopolitical conflict could send consumer costs surging just before November's midterm elections.

Grocery prices rose in April by the most in nearly four years, and experts warn the pressures will only worsen through 2027, when the U.S. Department of Agriculture projects a 3.2 percent increase in grocery prices and other experts warn that could rise even higher, reported Bloomberg.

One recent Sunday, I recently watched “The Inquisitor,” the Independent Lens documentary about Barbara Jordan, the groundbreaking Black congresswoman who was a champion of many constitutional principles.

I then turned to “60 Minutes” and watched Gov. Jeff Landry say 45,000 Louisiana absentee ballots being discarded was “not a big deal.” His statement came days after he postponed the U.S. House primary elections, allowing the legislature time to eliminate a Black-majority district from the state’s congressional map. Votes already cast for the May 16 races were invalidated.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee spent months calling Ken Paxton corrupt, adulterous, and incompetent. Then he won — and the receipts started disappearing.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton defeated incumbent Sen. John Cornyn in a Republican Senate runoff Tuesday, making Cornyn the first Republican senator from Texas to lose his party's nomination for reelection. Within hours, the NRSC was quietly deleting its own ads and press releases attacking the man it will now be expected to elect.

The Trump administration launched an unprecedented effort Tuesday to bar federal workers from sharing "non-public" information, and on Wednesday, former Homeland Security official Miles Taylor warned that the move bore all the hallmarks of a tactic Trump employed in the private sector, one Taylor described as "creepier than you think."

“Federal workers would be forbidden from talking about almost anything they see or do on the job, including things Trump or his subordinates order them to do,” Taylor wrote in an analysis published Wednesday on his Substack.
