Editors at The Washington Post are getting sick of the error-filled artificial intelligence podcasts their paper is churning out.

According to Semafor, "Earlier this week, the Post announced that it was rolling out personalized AI-generated podcasts for users of the paper’s mobile app. In a release, the paper said users will be able to choose preferred topics and AI hosts, and could 'shape their own briefing, select their topics, set their lengths, pick their hosts and soon even ask questions using our Ask The Post AI technology.'"

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is resigning from Congress near the start of next year — but on her way out the door, she is considering a final act of revenge against House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA).

According to MS NOW, "In recent days, the controversial Georgia Republican has been working behind the scenes to gauge whether there’s support for a motion to vacate the chair ... Under the House rules adopted at the beginning of this year, nine Republicans are needed to trigger such a vote — and Greene is trying to figure out who might be willing to sign on."

Vice President JD Vance and another top ally of President Donald Trump left observers taken aback Thursday as they demanded to know why fiery adviser Stephen Miller isn't appearing on CNN.

Miller claimed on Fox News this week he had been banned from CNN after a slew of clashes with frustrated anchors trying to fact-check his wild claims. On Thursday, Steven Cheung, assistant to the president and White House director of communications, who is known for his incendiary statements, took to X to air his grievances.

President Donald Trump's latest "pardon" was buried in mockery on Thursday night.

Trump announced on Truth Social that he intends to pardon Tina Peters, a Colorado county clerk who was convicted on seven state charges of aiding a security breach into her county's election system. Some analysts pointed out that Trump cannot actually pardon Peters because she was not convicted of federal crimes.

During a heated House hearing, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem was pushed to apologize after Rep. Seth Magaziner highlighted veterans harmed by ICE actions — including a Navy veteran whose wife has been jailed for months over decades-old minor offenses. Confronted directly by the veteran in the room, Noem offered thanks for his service but defended the department’s actions, fueling further criticism of her leadership.

President Donald Trump said in a social media post on Thursday that he is pardoning Tina Peters, a former Colorado county clerk who was convicted on state charges of sharing passwords to her county's election system with unauthorized parties.

Trump announced the pardon on Truth Social, which does not constitute an official pardon. It is unclear whether the administration has applied to the U.S. Pardon Attorney for Peters' release.

A reporter brutally fact-checked one of President Donald Trump's favorite claims about one of his administration's bombing campaigns during a press conference in the White House on Thursday.

Trump held a ceremony for an executive order he signed banning states from enacting laws that regulate artificial intelligence technologies. After the bill signing, Trump took questions from the press. One reporter asked him about his administration's efforts to end the war in Gaza. Trump's answer weaved through his administration's bombing campaign against Iran, which he claimed "obliterated" the country's nuclear bomb production sites.

President Donald Trump was called out by political observers Thursday evening over his attempt to downplay a humiliating defeat in Indiana on Thurdsay.

Indiana's Republican-controlled Senate rejected a controversial redistricting proposal backed by Trump in a stunning 31-19 vote. The sharp rebuke came despite Republicans holding a 40-10 majority.

MS NOW’s Mika Brzezinski balked on-air after a Washington Post report revealed Donald Trump openly admitted at a sparsely attended Pennsylvania rally that he had used a vulgar slur to describe certain foreign countries—a phrase he previously denied using. Brzezinski, refusing to repeat the word, noted that Trump’s admission contradicts years of pushback against earlier reporting that he used the insult to refer to Haiti, El Salvador, and multiple African nations.

New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman warned on Thursday that President Donald Turmp's second administration appears to be pushing America toward its third civil war, citing the "flying elephants" that the administration keeps letting out.

To Friedman, these flying elephants are incidents that reveal "something very different is going on" that people need to pay attention to. Friedman called attention to a 33-page National Security memo the Trump administration published last week as the latest flying elephant that "no one should ignore."

Rep. Bennie Thompson sharply confronted DHS Secretary Kristi Noem during a nationally televised hearing over which administration approved the asylum of Rahmanullah Lakanwal, accused of shooting two National Guardsmen in D.C. Noem repeatedly credited the Biden administration’s vetting process, frustrating Thompson, who pressed her to acknowledge any Trump-era involvement. When Noem deflected, Thompson turned to National Counterterrorism Center official Joe Kent, highlighting the tense standoff over accountability for a high-profile security failure.

Senate Republicans on Thursday rejected a Democratic proposal to extend enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies that are set to expire at the end of the year. Notably, both Republican senators from Alaska stood out, as both broke party lines and voted with Democrats.

There's a key reason for that, Politico reported on Thursday.
