Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) became frustrated with Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner for discussing former President Joe Biden rather than President Donald Trump's record.

During a Thursday Senate Appropriations Committee hearing, Turner noted that there were 770,000 people homeless at one point under the Biden administration.

President Donald Trump has revealed what he fears most with his controversial bid to sue his own IRS for $10 billion — a move political observers have warned is equivalent to simply looting money from the government, according to an analyst.

Trump filed the suit claiming that the IRS had failed to secure his personal and confidential information, leading to leaks of his tax returns, which he had promised he would reveal when he was on the campaign trail in 2016 but never did.

Another lawmaker has gone missing from Congress — and she's currently running for re-election.

Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL) has not voted on any issue since April 17, according to her documented voting record, and she has not yet addressed her absence as she nears four weeks away from Capitol Hill without explanation, reported The New Republic.

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.

Rep. Tom Kean Jr. (R-NJ) has been missing from the job for months with no explanation other than an unspecified medical issue, and no time frame to return — and now it turns out that House Republican leadership is just as in the dark on what's going on as the general public.

According to Punchbowl News, "Kean last voted in the House on March 5. Kean’s staff has said publicly that he’s dealing with a medical issue and will return to Washington as soon as possible. No other information has been made available on the two-term lawmaker.

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.
