Political analysts and observers were astounded on Tuesday night after one of the candidates President Donald Trump backed in the Georgia Republican Senate primary race won.

Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) defeated Republican Derek Dooley, a former football coach, in the red state's primary on Tuesday night. That puts Collins in line to face off against Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) for his seat in November. The race is expected to be one of the most contentious Senate battles in the country, according to some experts.

A pair of young MAGA influencers got arrested at one of Washington's most prestigious clubs on Friday, Will Sommer wrote for The Bulwark — and the bizarre tale of how it happened underscores a "fake-it-till-you-make-it ethos" that has become fashionable under the Trump administration.

Ryan Fournier, one of the co-founders of Students for Trump, was arrested for violating a court order after he contacted his ex-girlfriend, against whom he faces domestic violence charges and was wearing an ankle monitor. But authorities had something more exotic on his friend, Jordan Daley.

President Donald Trump's Justice Department is headed into illegal territory with their latest move to prosecute 15 protesters from Minnesota for interference with immigration authorities, former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann told MS NOW's Ari Melber on Tuesday.

Weissmann has a number of questions about how this was conducted — which would likely paint a damning picture of the current state of the DOJ.

CBS must pay an undisclosed amount to Lee Mendelson Film Productions after Stephen Colbert intentionally played the "Linus and Lucy" theme from Peanuts during The Late Show finale.

The segment discussed the production company's strict copyright enforcement on the Vince Guaraldi Trio composition, reports The Daily Beast.

President Donald Trump's controversial Iran deal may already be about to hit a brick wall — and it's all thanks to rules Trump and his own congressional allies put in place.

According to Punchbowl News, Trump's State Department "triggered a provision in the 2024 Ukraine-Israel supplemental funding bill that prevents the president from removing the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC) designation as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO)."

The Trump administration is quietly relaxing standards for how immigration detainees can be treated in lockup — and one of those changes may run afoul of the 13th Amendment's prohibition on "slavery or involuntary servitude."

According to The Washington Post, Geo Group, a private prison contractor in charge of many of the detention facilities, "has faced lawsuits in three states alleging it violates minimum-wage laws by paying some immigrant detainees $1 a day to work. The company maintains that the work is voluntary and that it operates the program at the direction of the government."

Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) defended her vote to confirm Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh despite his role in overturning Roe v. Wade, stating she does not regret the confirmation.

When confronted by reporters about the decision during her re-election campaign, Collins said she disagreed with Kavanaugh's abortion vote but pointed to justices she supported who voted to preserve abortion rights, including Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson.

The plaintiffs in a potentially massive Supreme Court case have alerted the justices that they have new evidence that former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem blatantly lied to the public on a key issue at the center of the case.

The issue concerns whether to allow the Trump administration to revoke temporary protected status (TPS) from Haitian migrants. The law has generally understood TPS to apply until conditions in their country of origin become safe enough for their return; however, the Trump administration has sought to have dramatically more discretion to decide when TPS ends and clear the way for deporting hundreds of thousands of people who were in the country legally.
