MeidasTouch/X Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said she actually prefers President Donald Trump to be on the golf course rather than in the White House. On Monday, Pablo Manríquez of MeidasTouch caught up with the congresswoman at the Capitol, where he asked about Trump playing golf as the Iran war, which is currently paused by a ceasefire, remains unresolved. “Donald Trump has been playing a lot of golf while we’re at war,” Manríquez said. “Prices are going up. What do you make of Donald Trump’s, I guess, work ethic, if you will?” “Obviously, it’s awful that this guy’s playing golf, but in a way, we’re already seeing that some of the most important military decisionmakers in the country are trying to keep him out of consequential decisions,” she responded. “So, in some ways, you kind of want this guy on a golf course more than you want him in the Oval Office. But that also calls into question the 25th Amendment, because… if the determination is that Donald Trump cannot be trusted in the Situation Room and in unfolding scenarios, then he’s not fit to be president.” AOC: In some ways, you kind of want this guy on a golf course more than you want him in the Oval Office.

According to Section 4 of the amendment, the president is stripped of his powers if a majority of the cabinet and the vice president agree that the president is unable to carry out his duties. At that point, Vice President JD Vance would become acting president. Alternatively, Congress can pass legislation to create a body that would determine if Trump is unable to continue as president. However, the legislation would require approval of both Republican-controlled houses of Congress and Trump’s signature. Last week, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) filed a bill to create such a commission.The post AOC Says She Wants Trump on the Golf Course: ‘Keep Him Out of Consequential Decisions’ first appeared on Mediaite.

Dave McCormick (R-PA) defended embattled FBI Director Kash Patel with a sweeping generalization: “I’ve seen plenty of guys drink and have fun.” On Monday, Patel filed a $250 million lawsuit against The Atlantic over its recent report, which cites “more than two dozen” anonymous “witnesses” and alleges “excessive drinking” and “unexplained absences” by the FBI Director. His lawyers accused the publication and its staff writer, Sarah Fitzpatrick, of publishing an “obviously fabricated” article “designed to destroy Director Patel’s reputation and drive him from office.” In one instance from the report, Patel was captured chugging a beer in the U.S. men’s hockey team locker room after its Olympic gold medal win — a behavior about which President Donald Trump reportedly shared his dismay with Patel. MeidasTouch reporter Pablo Manríquez stopped McCormick on Capitol Hill to ask him if Patel’s drinking is a “national security concern.” McCormick claimed not to “know anything” about Patel’s drinking and praised him instead. “I don’t know anything about his drinking,” he said. “I’ve not heard any rumors or heard any concerns. I think he’s executing his job brilliantly up to this point, so I don’t see why that would be a controversial thing.” Manríquez persisted, mentioning The Atlantic piece and, specifically, Patel’s drinking at the Olympics, but McCormick asserted that what people do in “their spare time” is “their business.” “So, I’ll tell you as a [inaudible] Marine, I’ve seen plenty of guys drink and have fun,” he said. “When they are on their spare time, that’s their business. I bet you there are a lot of Americans out there who take offense to that: Does that mean I can’t go party with my friends and then go do my job during the week time? I don’t think that’s really fair. As long as it doesn’t affect his job in a negative way, I’m cool.” McCormick on Kash Patel: I’ve seen plenty of guys drink and have fun.

CNN’s John King said this year’s midterm election could be a harbinger of doom for Vice President JD Vance’s presidential aspirations. Democrats are optimistic heading into November’s elections. President Donald Trump’s approval rating is hovering around 40%, depending on the poll. Moreover, historically, the incumbent president’s party loses seats in midterm contests. Republicans narrowly control the House by just three votes. In the Senate, which the GOP controls 53-47, Democrats would have to gain a total of four seats to take back the chamber. On Monday’s OutFront, King reported from Ohio, where Vance briefly represented the state in the Senate before becoming vice president. “Ohio is home to JD Vance, obviously, and he’s expected to run for president, obviously,” host Erin Burnett said. “But from what you’re looking at there, how much of all of this is a major warning sign for him?” “It’s one of the reasons we’re here,” King said, live from Zanesville. “Number one, is this really competitive? Democrats haven’t had a governor in 15 years.” King went on to outline a scenario in which Republicans get drubbed in midterms, creating a lane for 2028 GOP presidential candidates who are not firmly in the MAGA movement: If Republicans get shellacked in the elections, Democrats take the House, maybe if they win Ohio, they get close, or maybe they even take the Senate. We’ll see how that plays out. That would be a repudiation of Trump, which of course would hurt JD Vance. He’s Trump’s vice president. If Republicans get shellacked in the midterms, guess what? There will be more Republicans running in 2028 saying, “We need to go in a different direction. Sorry, JD Vance. We need to get away from Donald Trump, away from Trumpism, away from tariffs.” Last week, Vance conceded that “young voters” oppose Trump’s war on Iran, which remains broadly unpopular. “I recognize that a lot of young voters don’t love the policy that we have in the Middle East, ok?” the vice president lamented. “Don’t get disengaged because you disagree with the administration on one topic. Get more involved. Make your voice heard even more. That’s how we ultimately take the country back.

Photo by Morteza Nikoubazl/NurPhoto via AP Iranian Parliamentary Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf warned that Iran has prepared “new cards on the battlefield” as Wednesday’s ceasefire deadline looms. On Monday, President Donald Trump criticized the “Fake News” claims that he is under “pressure” to make a “Deal” with Iran, writing on Truth Social that “THIS IS NOT TRUE” although a ceasefire will happen “relatively quickly!” In a second post shortly after, he declared that the U.S. is winning the war with Iran “BY A LOT,” contrary to “Fake News” reports. “The enemy is confused, because they get these same Media ‘reports,’ and yet they realize their Navy has been completely wiped out, their Air Force has gone onto darker runways, they have no Anti Missile or Anti Airplane Equipment, their former leaders are mostly gone (This has been, in addition to everything else, Regime Change!), and perhaps, most important of all, THE BLOCKADE, which we will not take off until there is a ‘DEAL,’ is absolutely destroying Iran,” he wrote. “They are losing $500 Million Dollars a day, an unsustainable number, even in the short run. The Anti-America Fake News Media is rooting for Iran to win, but it’s not going to happen, because I’m in charge!” A few hours later, Ghalibaf took to X to slam Trump’s blockade and warn that Iran will not “accept negotiations under the shadow of threat.” “Trump, by imposing a blockade and violating the ceasefire, seeks, in his view, to turn the negotiating table into a table of surrender or to justify renewed warmongering,” he wrote in his post, translated by NBC News. “We do not accept negotiations under the shadow of threat, and over the past 2 weeks we have prepared to reveal new cards on the battlefield.”The post Iranian Parliamentary Speaker Warns Iran Has ‘New Cards’ To Play Against U.S. first appeared on Mediaite.

Screenshot via social media Chuck Todd, the former Meet the Press moderator and longtime political reporter, turned independent journalist and pundit, warned critics of President Donald Trump not to celebrate his perceived failures over the war in Iran, arguing that the country will “be paying a price for this for a long time.” “You know, I don’t care what you know, some people who are not Trump fans are like happy about this — we shouldn’t be happy about this. This is a disaster. He has screwed up this country and our foreign policy for decades, and we’re going to be paying a price for this for a long time,” Todd said in a Monday conversation with former CNN political writer Chris Cillizza. “Some of it might be at the gas pump, some of it’s going to be in bad trade relations, some of it is going to be the Gulf States deciding they can’t trust us anymore,” Todd continued, adding: This is going to have such a long tail of bad. What I don’t want to see out there is people ecstatic that Trump’s — that everybody’s finally noticing he’s a bad president or something. I agree. This is nothing to be excited about. This is a disaster and he’s our current commander in chief, and he screwed this up ten ways from Sunday. Cillizza agreed, “Well said, and look, I sometimes lose sight of this right, because I’m so focused on the politics, but we still have people in harm’s way, too. I mean, it’s not just a conflict being fought by drones, so there’s that too.” The conversation came a day after NBC News dropped a devastating new poll showing that 70% of Americans disapprove of how Trump is handling the war in Iran and inflation. The poll also registered Trump at only a 37% approval rating.
