CNN's Sara Sidner reacted to the "strong words" her colleague and former Department of Transportation inspector general Mary Schiavo had for transportation secretary Sean Duffy about the air traffic control crisis.

Duffy has pledged to transform and remodel the outdated air traffic control system after a major failure last week at Newark Liberty International Airport left thousands of travelers stranded for days, and Schiavo said president Donald Trump's transportation secretary faced a major test where failure is not an option.

President Donald Trump has been hyping a "major" trade deal with the United Kingdom, but officials and experts alike have been cautioning that it will fall well short of the "full and comprehensive" pact he's teasing.

The president invited reporters to an Oval Office announcement Thursday morning, and hours ahead of that event he teased new details about the deal, but British officials told the Wall Street Journal they were surprised by his plans and say the deal is not comprehensive, which was also confirmed by CNN's Alayna Treene.

Chief Justice John Roberts revealed a surprising anecdote during a C-SPAN discussion Wednesday about the challenges of being a public figure – and admitted he spent an entire evening pretending to be ex-House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH).

The comments came Wednesday during a lighter moment as Roberts was asked by U.S. District Judge Lawrence Vilardo how he balanced the high-profile nature of his job with a desire for privacy. Roberts downplayed his recognizability – and offered a story to prove it.

Lindy Li has made a name for herself in recent months as a defector from the Democratic Party, gravitating into Republicans' orbit following her time working as a fundraiser for former President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, and promising to come out with a tell-all book about the shady practices in the Democratic National Committee.

But independent reporter Tara Palmeri had some simple questions for Li on her show, released Wednesday, about just how real Li's status as a Democratic insider ever was, or how sincere her change of political heart is now.

Chief Justice John Roberts took a thinly veiled shot at President Donald Trump during an interview Wednesday, and his remarks stunned CNN anchor Erin Burnett, who noted, "he knows the weight of every word."

Burnett told Senior White House Correspondent Kristen Holmes she had just heard new comments from the Supreme Court's chief justice.

Pro-Trump CNN commentator Scott Jennings raged against the actors who plan to boycott the "Les Misérables" production at the Kennedy Center when President Donald Trump shows up to attend the performance.

This comes as Trump attempts to reshape the iconic performing arts center in his own image, with the result that ticket sales have crashed and big productions are pulling out. The Kennedy Center's finances have declined so much that Trump allies are even discussing requiring Paramount to divert a portion of any potential settlement payout from Trump's lawsuit against CBS News to support it.

University of Michigan Economics Professor Justin Wolfers warned that things are going to be a lot worse than Americans understand as a result of President Donald Trump's tariffs.

Speaking to MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace on Wednesday, Wolfers said the best thing that could happen is that Trump would "back off" his trade war.

Rep. Darin LaHood (R-IL) told CNN's Brianna Keilar that he isn't shocked that American automakers are hiking prices because President Donald Trump said that there would be "some short-term pain" as a result of his tariffs.

LaHood committed to Trump's language, saying, "I don't think we can continue to go down this path of allowing countries, particularly China and others, to take advantage of the U.S. market. What President Trump is trying to do through his policies is right many of the wrongs that have been done in the trade space and bring back some of those core manufacturing jobs to the United States."

Democratic influencer Harry Sisson found himself in the hot seat during an exchange on “Piers Morgan Uncensored” when the host refused to conclude the interview without asking the Gen Z political commentator about a recent controversy involving alleged inappropriate behavior on Snapchat.

“I can’t let you go without asking you something. It’s a little delicate,” Piers Morgan said as he referenced reports that began circulating in March that accused Sisson of luring several women into sending explicit photos. “Is that true?” Morgan asked.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) was forced to bang her gavel dozens of times as she lost control of a Delivering on Government Efficiency subcommittee hearing.

During Wednesday's hearing on transgender women in sports, Greene tried to shut down Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM).

Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) forced a vote on adjourning a Delivering on Government Efficiency subcommittee hearing because it focused on transgender women in sports instead of government spending.

During Wednesday's DOGE hearing, Chair Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) accused "mentally ill biological men" of competing in women's sports, "stealing their competitions, stealing their medals, and stealing their national championships."

Treasury secretary Scott Bessent and Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) shared a lighthearted moment during a congressional hearing.

President Donald Trump's treasury secretary appeared Wednesday before the House Financial Services Committee to discuss the international financial system, and Waters started off her questions by asking whether they had met before.
