A far-right commentator and former Trump ally, Nick Fuentes, has accused the White House of concealing President Donald Trump’s health status. Fuenes claimed the situation mirrors what he alleges happened with former President Joe Biden in a separate health cover‑up.

In a post on the social platform X on Sunday, Fuentes, known for leading the “America First” movement, said: “There is obviously something going on with Trump that the White House is covering up. This is literally Biden 2.”

Reacting to comments made by Homeland Security Secretary Kirsti Noem during an appearance on CBS Sunday, the ranking Democratic member of the House Oversight Committee called her out for lying and then proceeded to rake her over the coals.

Appearing on MSNBC with fill-in host Erielle Resheff, Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) was shown a clip of Noem stating Donald Trump saved Los Angeles from being destroyed by a crime wave.

Republican lawmakers are returning to Washington, D.C., after Labor Day with the dark cloud of the Jeffrey Epstein files waiting for them and no clue where a vote on releasing them will go and what they will reveal.

In his column for The Hill, longtime political observer Juan Williams claimed there are multiple “fires” the GOP –– which has majority control of both chambers –– will have to put out, but none bigger than the Epstein mess that was made worse because Attorney General Pam Bondi had previously stated there was a list of clients linked to the convicted pedophile sitting on her desk.

President Donald Trump is considering declaring a new national emergency later this year to bolster the Republican Party’s prospects in the 2026 midterm elections, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent revealed on Monday.

“We’re trying to figure out what we can do, and we don’t want to step into the business of states, counties, and municipal governments,” Bessent told the Washington Examiner Monday in an exclusive interview. “I think everything is on the table.”

If Donald Trump doesn’t make an attempt to buck the Constitution and run for president once again in 2028, which he has hinted at, his middle son, Eric, has indicated he might like to take his turn in the Oval Office.

According to a report from Newsweek’s Theo Burman, Eric made rumblings about jumping from the Trump family business into a run, likely against a handful of Republicans seeking the MAGA crown and what comes with it.

Jeanine Pirro, the current U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C., announced last month that her office would no longer prosecute residents found in violation of the city’s ban on open carrying long guns, a decision that one gun violence expert warned could produce deadly results.

“Now, especially with the announcement that National Guard members will carry firearms, our nation’s capital has become nothing short of a tinderbox,” wrote Kris Brown, president of the anti-gun violence organization Brady, writing for the Washington Post in an op-ed published Monday.

Former Sen. Kyrsten Sinema is taking credit for portions of President Donald Trump’s "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" according to a new report from the Wall Street Journal, credit that some critics say is undeserved as the one-term lawmaker rakes in hundreds of thousands of dollars from pro-business, cryptocurrency and lobbying organizations.

Sinema, who was elected in Arizona as a Democrat but switched later to an independent as her favorability among Democratic voters plummeted, has launched several ventures since leaving office in January. She leads an Arizona business advocacy group, works at a lobbying and law firm and serves on the council of a cryptocurrency advocacy organization.

On the same morning when the New York Times was headlining a report about Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India and President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia holding hands and meeting with President Xi Jinping of China, Donald Trump attempted to downplay the summit that could portend a shift in world power alliances.

With the Times noting, the display of comity seemed aimed at getting the attention of the U.S. president, that observation turned out to be valid with Trump jumping on Truth Social to downplay the entire affair.

A prominent historian warned on Sunday that President Donald Trump has created a situation much worse than what the country faced during the Watergate scandal of the 1970s.

Garrett Graff, author of the Doomsday Scenario newsletter, joined Emma Vigeland on "The Majority Report" to discuss the Trump administration pushing the U.S. towards authoritarianism. Graff argued that Trump's "speedrunning abuses of power," such as deploying federal troops to cities across the U.S., have "fundamentally changed" the country.

On Labor Day morning, nine former directors of the Centers for Disease Control joined forces to call out Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for putting the health and safety of Americans at risk with almost every action he has taken since he was sworn in.

In a harsh editorial published by the New York Times titled, “ We Ran the C.D.C.: Kennedy Is Endangering Every American’s Health,” William Foege, William Roper, David Satcher, Jeffrey Koplan, Richard Besser, Tom Frieden, Anne Schuchat, Rochelle P. Walensky and Mandy K. Cohen wrote that Kennedy’s conduct which has included mass firings of government experts in their fields is “unacceptable.”

Donald Trump’s increasingly frequent threats to deploy federal officers and troops to Democrat-led cities, was called out by analyst Ron Brownstein on Monday morning as he warned against labeling such efforts as a mere “distraction.”

“When Democratic congressional leaders like [Sen.] Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and [Rep.] Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) criticize Trump's actions in terms of threatening democracy or deploying troops to U.S. cities, they almost invariably describe it as a distraction from something else, whether it's Epstein, Medicaid cuts or inflation,” Brownstein said, speaking on CNN.

Americans have resignedly rejected President Donald Trump’s so-called reciprocal tariffs, according to new polling that left CNN’s chief data analyst Harry Enten stunned on Monday.

“They have turned against tariffs the same way college football pundits have turned against Arch Manning after his performance in Columbus on Saturday,” Enten said, speaking to new polling that showed a souring on tariffs among Americans since Trump’s election victory last November.

Donald Trump attempted what appeared to be a defense of embattled Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr on Monday morning by making demands of drug companies to turn over information that the president claims he has already seen.

With Kennedy facing a firestorm over firings and ensuing resignations at the Centers for Disease Control just before the Labor Day holiday weekend, Trump waded into the chaos by telling drug companies that took part in halting the COVID pandemic they need to share data.
