President Donald Trump complained that he couldn't say the word "beautiful" at an event honoring Women's History Month on Thursday.

"We love women," Trump announced. "Women are the whole deal, okay? And today is very special because we celebrate Women's History Month. That's what it's about every year."

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) speculated that his MAGA Christian followers might "start killing people" after New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani practiced his Muslim faith in government offices.

During a Thursday interview with Burchett, MAGA influencer Benny Johnson noted that Mamdani had recently held a religious event in the mayor's office, much like President Donald Trump has done at the White House.

A Democratic senator called on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to resign over the bombing of an elementary school in Iran that killed scores of children.

An ongoing military investigation has determined that U.S. forces fired a Tomahawk missile on Feb. 28 that struck Shajarah Tayyebeh elementary school, killing 175 people, most of them children, based on faulty coordinates, and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) said the secretary of defense should take responsibility for the error and step down.

At least two people were reportedly injured, and a gunman was dead following an active shooter alert at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia.

"O.D.U. Urgent Alert: Active threat reported at Constant Hall. Follow Run-Hide-Fight protocols. Emergency personnel responding. Avoid the area," an alert from the faculty read on Thursday morning.

During a discussion on Iran’s leadership going on the offensive with new threats after being attacked by the United States, MS NOW analyst David Rohde explained that Iran has a strategy and the strategy is working because Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon has been shown to be unprepared.

With US military officials conceding that they cannot protect oil tankers attempting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, Rohde claimed the war-torn country, for the moment, has the upper hand.

President Donald Trump claimed the Iran war is already winding down with the U.S. prevailing, but on-the-ground reporting in Kuwait shows the conflict may be trending in the opposite direction.

The 79-year-old president told supporters at a campaign-style rally in northern Kentucky that joint U.S.-Israeli military operations had "virtually ⁠destroyed Iran," and "we won," but within hours of those statements Iran struck two oil tankers in the Persian Gulf and bombed locations throughout the Middle East, as CNN's Nic Robertson reported from the region.

CNN's John Berman was staggered by a high-ranking administration official's comments about President Donald Trump's view of global energy shocks.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright appeared Thursday morning on "CNN News Central," where he told co-host Kate Bolduan that the 79-year-old president was thinking long term and therefore not concerned with short-term disruptions in the global oil market caused by his war in Iran.

The White House's "Rapid Response" team quickly went to work attacking CNN after the network broadcast the first public message from new Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei.

The White House included a clip from CNN with part of the Iranian message in its attack.

A combination of an unpopular war with Iran, the looming cloud over the Jeffrey Epstein files, and plummeting poll numbers has Donald Trump on the ropes, claimed Axios founder Jim VandeHei on Thursday morning.

Taking part in a panel examining Donald Trump’s rally in Kentucky on Wednesday, the editor agreed that Trump has lost touch with his base and has no idea how put out all the fires his administration is facing, which is also dragging Republicans down.

President Donald Trump's energy secretary stumbled over his words when CNN's Kate Bolduan challenged him on global oil disruptions caused by the war in Iran.

Oil tankers are unable to pass through the crucial Strait of Hormuz due to the threat of Iranian drones, missiles and mines, and the price of oil has surged past $100 a barrel, but Energy Secretary Chris Wright insisted on "CNN News Central" that Americans should be willing to shoulder the burden of higher gas costs.
