President Donald Trump fumed Wednesday afternoon in a lengthy social media screed blasting the ongoing criminal trial of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu.

A new report suggests that President Donald Trump's administration sent National Guard troops in Los Angeles to assist the Drug Enforcement Administration in a law enforcement operation about 130 miles outside the city, in a move that experts say seems unlawful.

According to the report, around 315 National Guard troops were sent to the eastern Coachella Valley region to help the DEA search a local marijuana growing operation. The DEA asked the National Guard for assistance due to the “magnitude and topography” of the operation.

Democrats experienced a major setback Wednesday after the Wisconsin Supreme Court said it won't listen to their challenge seeking to throw out the battleground state’s congressional district boundaries before next year's midterm election.

The liberal-controlled court didn't explain its refusal, but The Associated Press and other journalists noted the decision represented a "setback" for Democrats who had hoped the court would allow them to redraw district boundary lines in their favor as they attempt to regain control of the House next year.

Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) and Fox News host Will Cain sparred Wednesday afternoon over whether President Donald Trump fulfilled his legal obligations before bombing three nuclear facilities in Iran.

Over the weekend, Trump sent congressional leaders a brief letter outlining his legal authority to approve the strikes under the War Powers Act. The letter does not mention any intelligence or evidence used to justify the strikes.

Russ Vought, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, got an earful on Wednesday afternoon from a senator who accused him of being disrespectful.

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) alleged that President Donald Trump's administration got "caught lying" on Iran.

Speaking to MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace on Wednesday, the senator said that Trump's administration is now scrambling to explain why conflicting statements from Trump can both be true.

A federal judge on Wednesday denied the Trump administration's request to pause the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a migrant facing human smuggling charges — and who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador due to an “administrative error” — writing in their decision that the Department of Justice’s case for keeping Garcia incarcerated “defies logic.”

Garcia was arrested without trial and wrongly deported in March despite not having been charged with a crime. He was returned by President Donald Trump’s administration earlier this month under mounting pressure from federal courts. Upon his return, however, the DOJ announced he had been indicted on charges of human smuggling and conspiracy to unlawfully transport migrants for financial gain.

Faith leaders in Texas are pushing back against a new state law that requires a copy of the Ten Commandments to be posted in every public school classroom, The Associated Press reported.

Greg Abbott signed Saturday, violates the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment.

President Donald Trump will reportedly limit intelligence sharing with Congress after a top-secret report leaked, indicating that the U.S. strike on Iran set back the country's nuclear program only months.

Speaking on the surprising upset that was Zohran Mamdani’s performance in the New York City Democratic primary election, Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT) took a jab at Kamala Harris Wednesday, blaming her presidential election loss last year on what he described as a too-cozy relationship with billionaires and the donor class.

“He ran a brilliant campaign,” Sanders told Politico, speaking on Mamdani’s upset victory in the Democratic primary election for New York City Mayor.

A longtime Republican strategist and focus group expert revealed on Wednesday that those she's speaking with are repeating messages from Democrats on cuts to Medicaid.

Speaking to MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace, Sarah Longwell, also the publisher of The Bulwark, said that the message is sinking in: Republicans are cutting Medicaid to fund a tax cut for millionaires and billionaires.
