Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) is spending big bucks to get his makeup done — but the Fox & Friends Weekend crew isn’t too impressed with it.

The liberal lawmaker has dropped $2,887 this year on “makeup services,” according to the The Washington Free Beacon,  which cited campaign finance disclosures.

Ossoff has been getting the Hollywood treatment too. He’s been using makeup artist Stephanie Ponder, whose credits include work on The Notebook and two Hunger Games flicks, among other movies. He most recently paid her $900 for a session in June, campaign finance disclosures revealed.

The Free Beacon wrote:

Ossoff’s four-figure makeup expenditures stand out among federal candidates. The Georgia senator who is running for reelection against Republican Rep. Mike Collins (Ga.), has reported spending more on makeup than any other candidate this year, beating out the likes of far-left Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) and Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.). Ocasio-Cortez has spent $1,837.93 on “campaign event hair & makeup services” in 2026, while Tlaib has spent $320 on “hair and makeup services.”

But Fox & Friends Weekend on Saturday thought Ossoff — who has made headlines recently for clashing with Trump nominees like Jay Clayton — should look a bit better, considering his hefty investment and the star treatment he’s getting.

“I don’t see that they’re doing anything amazing to his face! I mean, I’ll do it for $900 a pop. I mean, did you see that? He looks pale!” Rachel Campos-Duffy said, drawing some laughs from her co-hosts. “He looks pale! if anything they should give him a little more color, right? Make him a little more tan.”

Charlie Hurt pointed out Ossoff is one of the top Dem contenders for the 2028 election, with prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket giving him the third-best odds to be the nominee. Still, stories about him dropping a lot of dough on makeup “probably don’t help him a whole lot,” Hurt said.

Ossoff’s office did not immediately respond to Mediaite’s request for comment.

Fox & Friends Weekend co-host Griff Jenkins issued an on-air statement Saturday after a guest slammed New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani as a “terrorist” earlier in the program.

Conservative WABC radio host Sid Rosenberg made the remarks after a discussion on the show of an apparently unhinged man who rampaged through the Upper West Side earlier this week, allegedly stabbing two people while shouting “Allahu Akbar.”

We know there are heated feelings around this war last hour, while discussing the role anti-Israel is playing in the rise of antisemitism, one of our guests labeled New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, a quote, terrorist. Now that word carries an extremely serious meaning, it should not be used freely and its important we distinguish between strong political criticism and factual allegations.

During his appearance, Rosenberg ticked off a list of groups of people he said Mamdani “hates:”

Look, these people are very nice people, but trying to talk to Mayor Mamdani is is like trying to talk to the IRGC.

This guy is a terrorist. That’s the bottom line, I’ll say it. You don’t want to say it, I’ll say it. He’s a terrorist, he’s a jihadist. He hates the Jewish people. He hates America. He hates the Italian people, he hates the Irish people, he hates the German people, unless you’re Muslim, Mayor Mamdani has no use for you. He is a horrible person.

He maybe has perpetrated the worst American and Jewish hate in the history of this country. Those two people stabbed the ore day on the Upper West Side of New York City, that blood is on his hands. That blood is on your hands, Mayor Mamdani.

We’ve got to find a way to get this guy out of here.

Jenkins tried to interject, telling Rosenberg, “I think you may be a bit over your skis in calling him, in labeling him a terrorist and you’re probably going to be flagged for that.”

Rosenberg, who called the mayor a “low life,” shot back: “Why?”

Later, Rosenberg took to X, where he stood by his remarks, posting a video of the exchange with Jenkins.

“The comments that had FOX apologize for me TWICE after my appearance early this morning. I 100% stand by my assertions! 100%!” he wrote.

Vice President JD Vance shed a few pounds — and his boss noticed.

The vice president has tipped the scales in his favor when it comes to President Donald Trump’s 2028 presidential nominee power rankings by losing weight, according to a Friday report from MS NOW.

Vance’s trimmer figure, combined with his recent media tour to promote his new book, has helped him leapfrog Secretary of State Marco Rubio — at least for the time being.

“It hasn’t hurt that Trump has been privately complimentary about Vance’s weight loss, according to two people familiar” with Trump, reporters Jacqueline Alemany and Jake Traylor wrote.

They added:

Another person said Trump has taken to remarking that his vice president has been looking good lately.

“There’s been a lot of that,” the person added.

Vance’s weight loss hack? German food. MS NOW pointed to a report from The Wall Street Journal last month on how Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has Vance and other administration officials on a “sauerkraut-heavy diet.”

“Within 30 days I lost 20 pounds,” Kennedy said at a June event in Michigan. “JD Vance is also on the diet and you can see how different he looks.”

Vance started the diet for Lent and has been “committed” to it ever since, with the 41-year-old VP munching on “eggs, sauerkraut, pickles, blackberries and raspberries for lunch, and beef or lamb with sauerkraut for dinner,” per WSJ.

Beyond the weight loss, Trump has been a fan of Vance’s media blitz — which included a three-hour interview with Joe Rogan. The two guys covered a lot of ground, including talking about Israel’s “influence” on Trump, the Iran war, ex-President Joe Biden’s brain surgeries, and dead sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein.

Vance is the favorite to be the ’28 Republican nominee on prediction markets Kalshi and Polymarket. Kalshi gives Vance a 39% shot to win, and Polymarket gives him a 43% chance; Rubio is in second place on both platforms, with a 31% chance on Kalshi and 28% on Polymarket.

MS NOW’s report coincided with The Washington Post reporting there is a “coordinated” operation within the Republican Party to “poison” Vance’s 2028 chances. The effort has not worked on Trump, apparently.

MS NOW host Stephanie Ruhle was overcome with emotion on Friday as she paid tribute to the soldiers recently killed in the Iran war.

Hostilities resumed after President Donald Trump officially declared the Memorandum of Understanding — triggering a temporary ceasefire — was over.

Since then, American and Iranian forces have launched numerous strikes against one another, resulting in the deaths of several American troops.

At the end of Friday’s edition of Money, Power, Politics, Ruhle took a moment to honor four of those soldiers: Lt. Tyler James Feehan, Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, Sgt. Michael Emmanuel Swinton, and Sgt. Angel S. Rampersad. She included personal details about each one, and even shared anecdotes from their loved ones.

“Lieutenant Feehan’s fiancée says he was a man whose greatest strength was his heart,” Ruhle said. “She says he looked up to Ted Lasso as a role model for leadership, and he dreamed of one day becoming a high school football coach after his military service ended. He was 25 years old.

“In Carrollton, Texas, community members came together on Tuesday to honor Private Isabella Gonzales and her life of service. They wore purple and black ribbons — her favorite colors. She was only 19 years old.”

After reading Gonzales’s age, Ruhle’s voice trembled as it became apparent she was fighting back tears. She continued:

Sergeant Swinton’s wife told The New York Times that they met when they were both deployed in Bahrain. She said he was an amazing father and her daughter’s favorite. He was 30.

And in New York, American flags now line the streets of a Queens neighborhood where Sergeant Rampersad grew up. She moved to the United States when she was just 2 years old, an immigrant serving and protecting our country. Her family says she was eager to serve. She was 28.

All four of these true patriots should be remembered and honored for their service and their sacrifice. We are truly grateful.

OLED gaming monitors have become much easier to recommend over the last year, mostly because prices have started dropping below the $500 mark. LG’s 27GX704A-B UltraGear OLED is one of the better options in that category right now, with excellent motion handling, extremely low input lag, and the glossy WOLED panel that gives games a cleaner, more contrast-heavy look than many matte alternatives. It’s also down to $379 on Amazon, an over 50% discount from its launch price of $799 in 2025.

At this price, the LG 27GX704A-B lands much closer to premium IPS gaming monitors while still offering the contrast and motion performance OLED panels are known for. This is a 1440p display with a 240Hz refresh rate, so it’s clearly aimed at PC gamers who care more about responsiveness and motion clarity than pushing full 4K resolution. Competitive games like Valorant, Apex Legends, and Call of Duty benefit the most here because the near-instant response time keeps motion looking unusually sharp, even during fast camera movement or flicks across the screen. The panel itself uses LG’s newer third-generation WOLED technology and supports both FreeSync Premium Pro and G-SYNC compatibility, so screen tearing is less of an issue regardless of whether you use an AMD or NVIDIA graphics card.

One of the more noticeable differences between this model and LG’s earlier UltraGear OLED displays is the glossy screen coating—instead of the matte finish found on many gaming monitors, this panel looks clearer and a bit punchier in darker rooms because the coating doesn’t soften the image as much. Blacks look genuinely deep, HDR highlights stand out nicely, and games with darker environments benefit a lot from the OLED panel’s per-pixel lighting. The downside is that reflections become much more noticeable if your setup sits near a sunny window or a bright overhead light, and VRR flicker can appear when frame rates bounce around heavily in darker scenes. The LG 27GX704A-B is also positioned as an entry-level OLED gaming monitor, so you won’t get premium features like DisplayPort 2.1, a built-in KVM switch, or an especially advanced USB hub beyond two basic USB-A ports.

President Donald Trump’s “patience is running out” with Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) — White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt warned Thursday.

Addressing the press corps during a morning briefing, the president’s spokesperson confirmed that Trump is getting antsy with the fact that the SAVE America Act — which would implement a number of new election-related measures impacting everything from voter ID to mail-in voting — has stalled in the Senate. When asked by the Daily Caller’s Reagan Reese if Trump’s patience is running out with Thune, Leavitt was blunt.

“His patience is running out,” Leavitt said. “He wants to see as much of the SAVE America Act passed as possible by the August recess. He knows that’s what the American people want to see passed. He was just traveling on the road yesterday, spoke about this, and there was a very loud applause from the people in the audience, the everyday Americans, because voter ID is common sense. They want proof of citizenship in our elections, and the president feels very strongly about that.”

Leavitt added, “The American people elected overwhelmingly Republicans to not just this White House, but also the House and the Senate,” Leavitt said. “The House did its job, the Senate needs to do its job too.”

In response, Thune took a shot at Leavitt and the White House — claiming they have not helped win over the Senators they need to get the legislation passed.

“Well maybe [Leavitt] or somebody else ought to get on the phone and get the votes, right?” Thune said, according to Politico. “It’s 50 around here, and so instead of, you know, pointing the finger at Republicans, they might think about going after the people who are stopping it on the floor, which is the Democrats, and if there are Republicans that they think are gettable, get on the phone.”

Fox News chief national security correspondent Jennifer Griffin joined Fox News’s America Reports on Wednesday to discuss the dignified transfer of four fallen U.S. soldiers, which was attended by President Donald Trump.

Anchor Sandra Smith introduced Griffin during their coverage of the somber event, which included a lengthy moment of silence as the coffins were being transferred.

“Sandra, every president says that this is the most difficult thing that they have to do during their presidency — to go to Dover to meet the families and to greet the caskets of the fallen, knowing that they have sent these individuals, these soldiers, to war. It weighs heavily on them. We’ve heard President Trump speak about that in the past,” Griffin began, before offering a lengthy description of the lives the four fallen soldiers left behind:

This is the third time that he has been to Dover since the start of the Iran War. There were the six service members who were killed early on in the conflict when a drone hit their base in Kuwait. There were the six service members who died in the KC-135 air refueling plane that went down over Iraq. And now today we have these four other soldiers.

First Lieutenant Tyler James Feehan — we’re learning more about his life from his family. His family in Utah has set up a scholarship fund for ROTC students at his former alma mater, the University of Southern Utah, with the death gratuity — the $100,000 that each service member’s family will be given by the Department of War — and his family has decided to devote that to future service members. He was supposed to return home and get married. His family remembers him as an adventurer. He went to Mount Everest base camp. He hiked the Camino Trail. He was planning to come home and get married.

Then there was Private Isabella Gonzales, just 19 years old. She had just graduated last year from high school. She told her English teacher, just before she graduated, that she planned to enlist so that she could eventually go to college. She’s from Northern Texas, from Carrollton, Texas.

Sergeant Michael Swinton — his wife is from Fayetteville, North Carolina. He was stationed at Fort Bragg. His wife, Mia, posted a heart-rending post on Facebook showing him hugging his four-year-old daughter. It was the last picture she would take of him through the car window in his uniform as he hugged his four-year-old daughter. He also had a six-year-old son. He was killed in northern Iraq when they were trying to disable a one-way Iranian attack drone last weekend.

And then there is Sergeant Angel Rampersad. We just learned her name and received a photo of her — 28-year-old Angel Rampersad of Queens, New York. She is believed to be dead, because her remains have not yet been identified. They will be identified at Dover. She had been found under the rubble of that drone strike on the Jordanian base.

So these four American heroes have returned to Dover. The president, Secretary Hegseth, as well as the Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, were there to greet them, as well as General Dan Cain. They spent about three hours with the family members. That’s what they do before we see this ceremony and the flag-draped caskets come out of the back of that plane — they spend time individually with those family members. So, a heartbreaking moment today at Dover Air Force Base.
