An attendee at President Donald Trump's state fair event was forced to seek refuge from extreme heat by dunking herself in a baptismal pool.

The entire Washington, D.C., metropolitan region is under extreme heat warning through the July 4 weekend with heat index values expected to be up to 112 degrees, and one MAGA fan told WTTG-TV that she took unusual measures to cool off Thursday at the Great American State Fair, which was celebrating "Faith, Values and Inspiration Day."

A Republican congresswoman faced derision Thursday for urging Americans she identified as "communists" to move to Europe and suffer through a record-breaking heat wave.

Rep. Lisa McClain (R-MI) cried out in alarm on Newsmax over a string of Democratic primary election wins this week by candidates endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America.

An FBI supervisor scrambled to retract her praise for a departing Chicago agent after the bureau branded him disloyal to President Donald Trump, a move a former agent warned could cost her career.

FBI Detroit Special Agent in Charge Jennifer Runyan accidentally forwarded the resignation email of Chicago Special Agent in Charge Douglas DePodesta to her entire Detroit division, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. In it, she called DePodesta someone who "will always be a part of the FBI Detroit family."

There was more bad news for Donald Trump on Thursday morning as the new jobs report revealed dismal growth, leading MS NOW’s Stephanie Ruhle to raise a new red flag for the president’s embattled administration.

Appearing on “Morning Joe,“ Ruhle, a former Wall Street executive, noted that only 57,000 new jobs were created — a far cry from the 115,000 expected by economists.

House Democrats are alleging "massive Trump fraud" in a new probe that accuses the White House of staging a "hostile takeover" of America's 250th birthday celebration, according to one journalist.

In a Thursday broadcast, investigative journalist Scott MacFarlane interviewed House Natural Resources Committee Ranking Member Rep. Jared Huffman (D-CA), who released an interim report titled "From Vanity to Insanity: How the White House Cheated the American People Out of Their 250th Birthday."

A new polling analysis suggests Democrats' uphill battle to flip the four seats needed for Senate control may be more winnable than previously thought — thanks largely to a dramatic drop in President Donald Trump's popularity in the states that matter most.

CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten examined six pivotal Senate battlegrounds — Alaska, Maine, Iowa, North Carolina, Ohio and Texas — and found Trump's net approval rating has swung nearly 20 points in the negative direction since 2024, when he carried these states by an average of eight points, and some by double digits.

The Fox Business team was greeted with bad news on Thursday as job numbers came in shockingly low.

"We came in underneath expectations," said Cheryl Casone. "We came in at 50,000 nonfarm jobs. The Street was looking for 110,000. The unemployment rate fell to 4.2 percent, down from 4.3 percent, which it had been holding steady at for about three months."

A reporter pointed out a dismal detail that serves as a leading indicator of just how poorly attended President Donald Trump's state fair has been.

The Great American State Fair leading up to the July 4 celebration of the nation's 250th birthday has prompted grim fascination and drawn comparisons to the disastrous Fyre Festival, and Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter Tia Mitchell told "CNN News Central" about her own experience at the event.

President Donald Trump brought anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. into his coalition in 2024, creating the so-called "Make America Healthy Again" movement by wooing a broad swathe of health activists and medicine deniers to join his cause. But the Supreme Court he helped appoint just dealt a massive blow to that movement, Dr. Vin Gupta noted to MS NOW's Jonathan Lemire on Thursday's edition of "Morning Joe."

Specifically, they blocked lawsuits from going forward against Bayer-Monsanto, over an herbicide at the heart of years of cancer litigation. While the actual scientific evidence that glyphosate-based herbicides cause cancer is limited, the legal crusade against it, and in particular against Bayer-Monsanto's Roundup weed killer, has been a fixture in health circles.
