A relentless Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) raked FBI Director Kash Patel over the coals on Tuesday, bringing up accusations about his drinking problems while he sat silently.

During the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Hirono used the last few minutes of her time to batter President Donald Trump's appointee over all the controversies that have dogged him since he was sworn in.

A federal judge ruled that the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts cannot honor President Donald Trump with an inscription on the building's exterior.

U.S. District Judge Christopher R. Cooper on Tuesday blocked the president's hand-picked board from restoring his name after an earlier order forced its removal, reported the New York Times.

President Donald Trump continued his campaign to seize control over the Kennedy Center on Tuesday by insisting that a security guard had come mere “seconds away from certain death” due to the building’s state of disrepair.

A small chunk of ceiling at the Kennedy Center collapsed earlier this month, though no injuries were reported. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick first claimed on Monday that the chunk of ceiling had “missed one of the Center’s security guards by just minutes,” and that it could have “killed” countless patrons.

President Donald Trump explicitly alleged Tuesday that the 2024 attempt on his life by would-be assassin Thomas Crooks was a “Democrat Plot” designed to keep him from the White House, and further argued that the Biden administration’s FBI director “should pay a price.”

Trump’s accusation comes after newly disclosed FBI documents revealed new personal details about Crooks and his apparent obsession with firearms.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent snapped at Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) instead of answering her question about whether tariffs have pushed inflation too high during an explosive clash on Tuesday.

The exchange came before the House Financial Services Committee, where Bessent was the sole witness for his annual testimony on the state of the international financial system, according to the committee's hearing notice.

FBI Director Kash Patel and a Republican senator went around in circles during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday morning about the agency’s stance on agents and acts of bestiality.

After a grilling from the ranking Democrat on the committee, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL), on the topic, Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) couldn’t seem to get his head around why the sexual act should come up during applicant screenings.

FBI Director Kash Patel sat silently as the Senate Judiciary Committee's top Democrat called him the "least qualified and most partisan" director in the bureau's history.

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL), the committee's ranking member, delivered the assessment Tuesday in his opening statement at the panel's oversight hearing, with Patel seated at the witness table. Patel is in his second year running the bureau, and Tuesday was his second annual oversight hearing, according to Chairman Chuck Grassley's (R-IA) prepared remarks.

President Donald Trump’s speech at the Pentagon on the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks gave every indication that “his mind is trapped in a fictional world,” according to a New York Times columnist.

Reflecting on the speech days later, longtime political observer Thomas Edsall felt the need to fall back on an April diagnosis of the president’s “dangerous decline” to put his current state in perspective.

Former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's return to the Senate floor was greeted with a great deal of relief by his colleagues, but not by one person who seems to have President Donald Trump’s ear.

The Kentucky Republican, who was already slated to step down from the seat he has held since 1985, was wheeled onto the floor of the Senate, where he last voted on June 11 before he suffered a medical emergency involving a fall at his home.

Republicans are gearing up to vote Tuesday on a major bill that experts warn could “turbocharge” the “bottomless crypto corruption” President Donald Trump’s family has been accused of engaging in, Zeteo reported Tuesday.

The U.S. Senate is poised to vote Tuesday on the Clarity Act, a bill designed to regulate the growing cryptocurrency sector — an industry that has made the Trump family more than $1.4 billion in 2025 alone, a windfall critics have argued amounts to "corruption." The CLARITY Act’s critics, however, say the bill would fail to actually restrain the Trump family’s crypto dealings, and in some cases, could actively enable them.
