A Florida man was put on the spot by MS NOW’s Alex Talbott after stating he voted for Donald Trump multiple times — just before calling the president a “pompous idiot.”

Talbott was speaking with voters about the president telling reporters, “I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation,” when he encountered the man at a Lanatana, Florida gas station and pressed him on Trump’s remark.

Rep Mark Alford (R-MO) seemed to shock CNN host John Berman by insisting President Donald Trump had "control over the Strait of Hormuz" — despite it being closed.

During a Thursday interview, Berman asked Alford to explain why Trump said he didn't think about Americans' financial situation, "not even a little bit," when it came to the war in Iran.

President Donald Trump is throwing the full weight of his political machine against Rep. Thomas Massie in Tuesday's Kentucky Republican primary, turning the congressional race into the most expensive and consequential loyalty test of his second term.

More than $29 million has been spent on advertising alone in the contest, making it one of the costliest primary battles in American history, and the extraordinary sum reflects how personally Trump has taken Massie's repeated defiance — and how badly the president wants to make an example of him, reported CNN.

An offhand comment Donald Trump made on the White House South Lawn before departing for China is causing no small amount of heartburn for Republicans already worried about the midterm elections.

Asked if “Americans’ financial situations” were pushing him to make a deal to end the war with Iran, the president replied, “Not even a little bit. The only thing that matters when I’m talking about Iran — they can’t have a nuclear weapon. I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation. I don’t think about anybody. I think about one thing — we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. That’s all.”

The Trump administration sought to sidestep federal contracting rules to fast-track work on the president's proposed Triumphal Arch by piggybacking on an existing contract to avoid a public bidding process, according to newly revealed documents.

The Washington Post obtained emails showing the Trump administration is attempting to bypass standard competitive bidding procedures to accelerate work on the proposed 250-foot arch near Arlington National Cemetery by leveraging an existing White House engineering contract with AECOM Services.

Donald Trump's chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is facing mounting scrutiny over his evasive testimony before Congress regarding the Iran war strategy — raising questions about whether his silence reflects genuine military uncertainty, or fear of contradicting an unpredictable president.

According to the New York Times, in nearly 14 hours of recent congressional testimony, Gen. Dan Caine was repeatedly asked the same fundamental questions: How had the world's most powerful military allowed Iran to cut off oil flow through the Strait of Hormuz, and what was the plan to reopen it and end the war?

"CBS Evening News" anchor Tony Dokoupil’s first broadcast from Taiwan ended in shambles after his cameraman suffered an on-air medical emergency.

The MAGA-coded anchorman was introducing the summit between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping when the camera shot tilted and producers abruptly cut to B-roll footage, reported The Daily Beast.

Republicans on Capitol Hill were already starting to get cold feet about including $1 billion in "security" funding for President Donald Trump's White House ballroom project, which has become politically toxic as the economy has continued to slide downhill.

But a new report claimed Thursday a way to kill it may have landed at their feet — without the need to stand up to Trump.

A looming Supreme Court decision on campaign financing could dramatically amplify the Republican Party's already massive cash advantage over Democrats, flooding GOP nominees with what one Democratic operative described as "terrifying" amounts of additional campaign funding heading into crucial midterm elections.

According to the Washington Post, the Republican National Committee is sitting on "well over $100 million more than Democrats in their party committees" as the midterm election cycle heats up — giving Republicans a significant war chest advantage in what is otherwise shaping up to be a difficult election year for the GOP.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio traveled with President Donald Trump on his state visit to China this week and played a significant role in the negotiations — despite China banning Rubio from the country in 2020 under sanctions for his public criticism of the country when he was a senator.

China never actually lifted those sanctions.

A right-wing conspiracist who joined the Department of Justice to punish Jan. 6 prosecutors is making explosive allegations about its current acting head.

Jonathan Gross, a political appointee who left the DOJ earlier this year after a turbulent tenure in the civil rights division, has gone public with allegations that acting Attorney General Todd Blanche engaged in "sabotage" by purposely holding back high-profile indictments while Pam Bondi was attorney general, waiting until she was gone to unleash them and claim credit, reported NPR.

CNN chief Trump apologist Scott Jennings got a blistering tear-down for his pandering to the president — from a man who used to be the president's biggest fan.

Andrew Schulz, a pro-Donald Trump comedian and podcaster who hosted Donald Trump before the 2024 election, unloaded on CNN conservative commentator Jennings this week, mocking him for what Schulz called the impossible task of defending the president — no matter what.
