During a House Natural Resources Committee hearing on Wednesday, Burgum complained about claims that solar power was the "cheapest form of energy."

President Donald Trump landed in Beijing, China Wednesday ahead of his high-stakes summit with President Xi Jinping, but critics soon noticed a key figure was absent during Trump’s arrival.

“Donald Trump has arrived in China to find that President Xi did NOT greet him at the airport,” reads a statement from the progressive advocacy platform Call To Activism, run by digital strategist and political influencer Joe Gallina.

Senior Director for Counterterrorism Sebastian Gorka, a former radio host, revealed that President Donald Trump left orders for Vice President JD Vance in case he is assassinated in China.

As Trump was visiting China this week, Pod Force One host Miranda Devine asked Gorka what would happen if the country's leaders "take him out" during the trip.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) faced backlash after claiming the U.S. Supreme Court would strike down the parts of the Voting Rights Act that protected districts with Black U.S. representatives.

During a Wednesday interview with Fox News, host Brian Kilmeade asked Johnson how much easier it would be to retain the House majority without majority-Black districts.

Just moments after President Donald Trump and his entourage of officials and business leaders landed in Beijing, China, CNN data analyst Harry Enten dropped a series of brutal poll numbers on how Americans rate the president’s handling of China.

“In term number one, China was a strength for Donald Trump, Americans really liked what he was doing vis-à-vis China, and no longer is that the case,” Enten said on Wednesday, moments after Trump landed in China ahead of his two-day summit with President Xi Jinping.

In the wake of President Donald Trump’s recent overnight posting spree that left onlookers concerned for his mental well-being, former FBI Director James Comey said Tuesday that he believed there to be “something wrong” with the president and that he didn’t “seem okay.”

Appearing on CNN’s “The Source with Kaitlan Collins,” Comey was asked about his recent indictment by the Justice Department over his social media post that included a photograph of seashells, which Trump allies have interpreted as a threat on the president’s life. Comey said he expected an endless string of indictments until “Trump leaves office because he is obsessed with retribution.”

President Donald Trump's niece sounded a "chilling" warning about his recent moves to threaten democracy.

Mary Trump, a psychologist and political commentator, directed readers' attention to last week's FBI raid on the office of L. Louise Lucas, the Democratic president pro tempore of the Virginia State Senate, and the subsequent ruling of that state's Supreme Court to strike down a redistricting referendum approved by voters.

An increasing number of Republican lawmakers are openly rebuking President Donald Trump’s demands after a key source of his leverage has all but disappeared, a dynamic that led Punchbowl News to question whether Trump was “losing sway on Capitol Hill” in its Wednesday morning newsletter.

That leverage was the threat that GOP lawmakers could face a Trump-backed primary challenger, but with primary elections wrapping up around the country, that threat has mostly been neutralized until at least 2028. As such, Republicans appear to have found a newfound courage to more frequently give Trump “the stiff arm,” Punchbowl News reported.

President Donald Trump took to social media Tuesday night to demand that Robert Karem, a Republican Senate staffer, be fired over an incident that took place earlier that day during a Senate hearing, one that Trump claimed made Sen. Mitch McConnell “look foolish and completely out of it.”

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth testified Tuesday before the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee, and in what Newsweek described as an “awkward moment,” the committee’s chair, McConnell, had to be reminded by a staffer “that several senators still had questions after he attempted to wrap up proceedings early.”

President Donald Trump was mocked on Tuesday for offering a startling admission about the state of the U.S. economy.

Trump told reporters outside the White House that the financial stress many Americans are under is not motivating his negotiations to end the war in Iran. That claim caught the attention of David Pakman, host of the liberal political podcast "The David Pakman Show," who argued in a new reaction video that it revealed exactly where Trump's priorities lie.

President Donald Trump is likely planning to fire another one of his cabinet members because they've consistently exhibited a "fatal" flaw, according to one of the president's biographers.

Journalist Michael Wolff, who has written four books about Trump, said during a new episode of "Inside Trump's Head" with co-host Hugh Dougherty, executive editor of The Daily Beast, that Trump will likely fire Secretary of State Marco Rubio because Rubio has upstaged Trump at times. Wolff said that is a "fatal" flaw in Trumpworld.

President Donald Trump's Department of Justice sparked outrage on Tuesday after reports that the agency is holding "internal discussions" about settling a massive lawsuit.

The New York Times reported that the DOJ is considering settling the $10 billion lawsuit that Trump filed against the Internal Revenue Service over the leak of his 2019 tax returns. Trump contended in the lawsuit that the IRS should have done more to prevent his returns from being publicized.

A MAGA Representative upbraided a 10-year-old for asking her about electric vehicle subsidies for a class assignment, and got mocked by political analysts and observers in return.

Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC), 82, recently received a letter from a fourth grader asking about a $5,000 tax rebate for new electric vehicle purchases, according to reports. Foxx responded to the letter by telling the young student that the national debt matters more, and that asking for such a tax rebate would take "money out of the pockets of hardworking people." She also sent the fourth grader an article about the "urgent crisis" of the national debt.
