Winsome Earle-Sears, a MAGA-aligned candidate for the Virginia governor's office, claimed during a debate on Thursday that prohibiting same-sex couples from marrying is not "discrimination," a claim that observers quickly bashed online.

Earle-Sears debated her Democratic opponent, Abigail Spanberger, on Thursday night. It was the first debate for either candidate since reporters uncovered violent texts from Jay Jones, a Democratic candidate for Virginia Attorney General. The Hill reported that Earle-Sears gave an "aggressive" performance, and LGBTQ+ rights were a flash point of the debate.

Popular podcaster Joe Rogan appears to have broken with President Donald Trump on one of the president's key policy platforms during a recent episode, a move that stunned one former GOP analyst.

During a recent episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience," Rogan said Trump's effort to send people to deport immigrants to foreign countries "shows no heart."

Former federal prosecutor Elie Honig had much to say on CNN Thursday evening about President Donald Trump's latest loss in court over his use of the military to keep order in U.S. cities.

A federal district judge in Illinois, April Perry, put Trump's plans to send the National Guard to Chicago — long threatened as he has escalated his rhetoric against America's third-largest city — on hold for two weeks. And she did so while tearing into Trump's reasoning for the planned deployment in the first place.

A pair of liberal analysts chided President Donald Trump's cabinet members on Thursday for continuing to participate in an ongoing series of "humiliation rituals."

Former Obama aides Jon Favreau and Tommy Vietor, who co-host the podcast "Pod Save America," said during a recent episode that Trump's cabinet meetings are no longer a place where elected officials conduct official business. They made their comments after Trump held a cabinet meeting on Thursday morning.

President Donald Trump's Department of Justice on Thursday indicted New York Attorney General Letitia James (D), and one national security expert is warning that the charges have strong implications for the state of the American justice system.

In a Thursday interview with MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace, John Brennan — who was the director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) during former President Barack Obama's administration — slammed the indictment of James, who successfully sued Trump for fraudulent real estate valuations in 2023.

One of President Donald Trump's former advisors said on Thursday that the president's prosecution of his political enemies is "bad for America."

David Urban, one of Trump's senior advisors during his 2016 campaign, said during an interview on CNN that prosecuting New York Attorney General Letitia James for alleged mortgage fraud is causing people to lose trust in the American justice system. His comments came just hours after Trump's hand-picked prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan, returned an indictment against James from a grand jury.

Observers were stunned by a new report revealing President Donald Trump's plans to send about 200 American troops to Israel to support ceasefire monitoring operations in the war between Israel and Hamas.

The Associated Press reported on Thursday that "U.S. Central Command is going to establish a 'civil-military coordination center' in Israel that will help facilitate the flow of humanitarian aid as well as logistical and security assistance into the territory wracked by two years of war."

Liberal analyst Cenk Uygur scoffed at MAGA pundit Dinesh D'Souza during a recent episode of "Piers Morgan Uncensored" over the peace deal President Donald Trump announced to end the war between Israel and Hamas.

Trump announced that Israel and Hamas agreed to the "first phase" of a peace deal in a Truth Social post on Wednesday. The 20-point plan involves Hamas returning all hostages and Israel withdrawing its troops from Gaza.

MAGA commentators erupted on Thursday after a video surfaced on social media showing a man in a red hat being removed from a Delta airplane.

In the video, the man claims he was asked to step off the plane because of the red Trump hat he was wearing. The hat reads "Build Back Better My A--," a common slogan used by MAGA to deride one of former President Joe Biden's signature legislative pieces.

Following the indictment of New York Attorney General Letitia James, Washington Post investigative reporter Carol Leonnig flagged a curious anomaly about the grand jury process that was used by President Donald Trump's chosen prosecutor to secure the charge.

"A few minutes ago, we confirmed that she was indicted by a grand jury in Alexandria on at least one count of bank fraud, Nicole," said Leonnig. "And the return was rather speedy. Four o'clock was when the grand jury was supposed to come back out and present their information to [acting U.S. Attorney Lindsey] Halligan. There was a four person in, in the courtroom, along with Halligan, and they released their decision."

President Donald Trump boasted Thursday that he earned a "perfect score" on a recent cognitive exam, a remark that observers slammed on social media.

Trump made the comments during a press conference in the Oval Office. He claimed that the test was "risky" and said other presidents like Barack Obama and George Bush refused to do it.
