Rep.
Scott DesJarlais has called for an amendment to
the Constitution that would require presidential
nominees to show proof of "cognitive competence.".
The amendment holds that, "No person shall be eligible to hold the office
of President or Vice President unless the person demonstrates cognitive competence.".
Fox News reports that the amendment also gives Congress the authority to determine how to test candidates for president and vice president.
The news comes just days after presidential
candidate Nikki Haley called for "mental
competency tests" for lawmakers over the age of 75.
Last week, when Haley announced
her candidacy, she said it was time for
the "permanent politician" to step aside.
.
She reportedly added that while
America is not past its prime, "our politicians are past theirs.".
According to Fox News, both statements
were widely perceived as a dig at both
President Biden and former President Trump.

In a stunning admission, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirms that the U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities — including Natanz, Fordow, and Arak — were fully coordinated with Israel and rehearsed during the Biden administration. As Israel closes its airspace amid fears of Iranian retaliation, the region braces for what could be the next major flashpoint in the Middle East.

In a landmark ruling, the Ninth Circuit Court upheld Donald Trump's decision to federalize 4,000 National Guard troops to quell immigration-related unrest in Los Angeles—rejecting California Governor Gavin Newsom’s challenge. The court ruled federal intervention was lawful due to obstruction of federal agents. With two Trump appointees and one Biden judge siding unanimously, the decision marks the first such presidential move since 1965. Trump hailed the verdict as a “big win,” blasting Newsom’s leadership and vowing to protect American cities.

Tune in as Trump doubles down on his public spat with Elon Musk during a tense press gaggle. He outright threatens to “take a look” at deportation and unleash the “monster” Department of Government Efficiency—DOGE—on Musk, claiming the billionaire benefits from “more subsidies than any human being in history.” Trump warns that without subsidies “Elon might have to close up shop and head back to South Africa.” Will DOGE be turned loose?

President Trump will attend the opening of a controversial migrant detention center deep in the Florida Everglades, nicknamed “Alligator Alcatraz” for its remote, wildlife-infested location. Built rapidly using Governor DeSantis' emergency powers, the facility can hold up to 5,000 migrants and is located on the grounds of a long-abandoned 1960s jetport. Despite recent political friction, Trump and DeSantis will appear together at the launch. Critics are alarmed over the harsh conditions and secrecy surrounding the project, which has already sparked a wave of protests and national debate.

Sen. Bernie Sanders strongly opposes President Trump’s so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill,” calling it the most dangerous legislation in modern U.S. history. Sanders claims the bill is a billionaire-funded payoff that gives $975 billion in tax breaks to the top 1%, while slashing $1.1 trillion from healthcare programs like Medicaid and ACA—potentially leaving 16 million uninsured. With studies predicting 50,000 avoidable deaths per year, Sanders calls the bill a "death sentence" for working-class Americans and a devastating blow to rural hospitals already on the brink.

Planned Parenthood is under serious threat as Republicans move closer than ever to cutting its federal Medicaid funding. A surprise Senate ruling has allowed the GOP to include the defunding measure in their sweeping megabill—without needing to overcome a filibuster. Democrats are outraged, warning it’s a direct attack on women’s health and reproductive rights. With $792 million in funding at stake, and abortion access on the line, the battle over Planned Parenthood is reaching a boiling point.

Vice President JD Vance makes a desperate push to pass Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” as a brutal Senate vote-a-rama drags on. With time ticking toward Trump’s July 4th deadline, Vance warns of rising taxes and weakened immigration enforcement if the bill fails. Democrats slam cuts to Medicaid and food stamps, while Republicans haggle over final changes. The high-stakes vote could reshape America’s domestic policy—if it survives the chaos in Congress.

The U.S. Senate has erupted into a political firestorm as Donald Trump’s $3.3 trillion “One Big Beautiful Bill” sparks intense clashes between Republicans and Democrats. What was meant to be a victory lap for Trump ahead of July 4 has turned into a bitter war of words, with GOP lawmakers divided and Democrats pushing back fiercely. Senate Majority Leader John Thune admits there's no clear path forward, while House Speaker Mike Johnson pleads to keep the bill close to the original House version. With Elon Musk threatening to form a new “America Party” if the bill passes, the battle lines are drawn — and America is watching. Will Trump get his way? Or will the bill collapse under the weight of infighting and economic backlash?

In a stunning political twist, Elon Musk has threatened to form a new political party — the America Party — if Donald Trump's $3.3 trillion spending bill passes Congress. Slamming it as “insane” and “debt slavery,” Musk accused Republicans of betraying their fiscal conservative values and warned he would back primary challengers against incumbents who support the bill. With fiery posts on X and direct shots at the GOP, Musk is positioning himself as a disruptive force ahead of the 2025 elections.
This video breaks down Musk’s explosive reaction, what’s in Trump’s "One Big Beautiful Bill," and what a third-party movement led by the world’s richest man could mean for American politics.

In a fiery political escalation, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt took direct aim at Zohran Mamdani — the presumptive Democratic frontrunner in the New York City mayoral race — accusing him of embodying “radical” left-wing ideals. Labeling Democrats as “doubling down on craziness,” Leavitt claimed Mamdani's policies threaten the “very fabric of the country.”
The attack reflects growing Republican unease with Mamdani’s rising influence, particularly after his viral interview clip showed him eating biryani with his hands while championing Third World-inspired politics. With his open support for Palestine, socialism, and progressive reform, Mamdani has drawn praise and vitriol in equal measure. As Trump’s White House attempts to frame the 2025 elections as a choice between order and chaos, Mamdani is emerging as a lightning rod in the cultural and political battlefield. The clash signals a deeper national confrontation brewing around race, identity, and radicalism.

U.S. President Donald Trump has warned that New York City could lose over $100 million in federal funding if Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani becomes mayor. In a fiery Fox News interview, Trump labeled Mamdani a “pure communist” and said his election would be “inconceivable.”
Mamdani, a rising progressive voice, has hit back, accusing Trump of using xenophobic and racially charged attacks to derail serious policy debate. The mayoral race is heating up as Mamdani promises to tax the wealthy and shift the burden off working-class New Yorkers.
Meanwhile, former Governor Andrew Cuomo may re-enter the race as an independent, turning this into a high-stakes national battle. Is Trump using funding threats as political blackmail—or is Mamdani’s rise shaking the conservative establishment?
