Rep. Jamie Raskin formally requested a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment of President Trump, citing incoherent and volatile comments that experts associate with dementia and cognitive decline.
When I got into this business, I wanted to get into journalism because I wanted to be a journalist. It was a job to tell stories, to tell stories that interested me since I was an opinion writer, an opinion journalist.
Gonzales has been in hot water on Capitol Hill for a while, after repeatedly denying and then admitting he was lying about an affair with a married staffer who later committed suicide in exceedingly grisly and tragic fashion.
Gabbard was loyal, gave congressional testimony in a professional manner and never disputed the president. Firing Gabbard would needlessly create a damaging news cycle for Trump.
Hegseth's distinguishing characteristic on Fox was his fervent support for American service members who had been accused of war crimes, recalled Matt Gertz, senior fellow at Media Matters.
Twice now, someone close to Kash Patel has seeded stories with Jana Winter that mischaracterize details of investigative actions against the current FBI Director, including misleading claims about subpoenas.
Retired Army Special Forces officer Mike Nelson criticized Hegseth's rhetoric, stating, 'That's a necessary end to achieve goals through military force - you have to kill people to achieve them. That's not the end. It's a weird obsession with death for the sake of it.'

BAIER: So that was May 2025. I mean, I don't think we, the public, have a more robust picture of that shooter. PATEL: Well, I think that's an unfair supposition.

He's very much dead.
