MAGA darling roasts Trump's spiritual advisor after 'heretical' speech

MAGA darling Allie Beth Stuckey roasted President Donald Trump's spiritual advisor on a new episode of her podcast, "Relatable," on Wednesday.

Last week, Trump's spiritual advisor, Paula White-Cain, compared the president to Jesus Christ during a speech at an Easter celebration at the White House. Stuckey said White-Cain's comments were not only "anti-biblical" but were also "heretical" and could prevent Trump from receiving the true majesty of Christ in his heart.

Noem's $70M 'deportation' jet with queen bed to be used by Cabinet — and possibly Melania

Kristi Noem swore the $70 million luxury Boeing 737 she bought with taxpayer money was all about deporting immigrants, and now that she's been fired, the plane — complete with a queen bed, kitchenette and cream leather seats — will be used by Cabinet members and possibly the first lady.

A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson confirmed Wednesday to The Washington Post that the Boeing 737 Max 8, purchased by Immigration and Customs Enforcement before new DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin was confirmed, will be "available to Cabinet members who need secure command and control and rapid long-range mobility."

Judge demolishes Kristi Noem's mass TPS termination in scathing ruling

A federal judge has paused the Trump administration's decision to terminate temporary protected status (TPS) for Ethiopians who came to the United States, ruling that former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem didn't follow the legal procedure for doing so.

U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy of Massachusetts penned a scathing analysis of the decision to eliminate TPS under the Trump administration, finding that it certainly wasn't appropriate in the case of Ethiopia, where people would still face substantial danger if forced to return there.

Trump melts down at NATO as he blasts Greenland as a 'big, poorly run, piece of ice'

Donald Trump went after a decades-old U.S. military alliance on Wednesday in an all-caps Truth Social tirade, declaring NATO useless and taking a bizarre swipe at Greenland in the same breath.

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte reportedly met privately with Trump on Wednesday, with discussions expected to focus on reopening the Strait of Hormuz and smoothing over Trump's fury at the alliance for sitting out the Iran war, while the strait closure sent gas prices soaring. It wasn't immediately clear how the meeting went, but Trump didn't hold back his thoughts on social media.

'Going to be a firing': Expert predicts another Trump Cabinet member is on his way out

President Donald Trump's Defense Secretary may be the next cabinet member to depart the administration, even though he just declared "victory" over Iran, according to one expert.

Secretary Pete Hegseth said during a press conference on Wednesday that the U.S. had achieved a “decisive military victory” over Iran. That's despite multiple reports indicating that Iran has continued to strike U.S. allies in the region, and the Strait of Hormuz remains shut. Meanwhile, details of an agreement allegedly struck between the two countries appear to show the U.S. losing influence over Iran. For instance, the White House has considered lifting all sanctions on Iranian oil and removing all U.S. troops from the country, according to reports.

'Dogs won't eat the dog food': Ex-GOP operative warns Trump war chest won't save his party

President Donald Trump is heading into the midterms with ruthless fundraising and a huge war chest, both in his own committees and in the super PACs supporting him, that he can use to protect vulnerable Republicans from whatever onslaught is coming their way. But there's a big problem standing in the way, former GOP strategist Tim Miller told MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace on Wednesday's edition of "Deadline: White House."

"Tim, I know there's a lot of sort of political press around the mega-money machine, but you have to be able to deploy the money competently and strategically," said Wallace. "And I wonder what you make of the money situation right now."

'Are they terrified?' Analyst reveals major problem facing GOP after special election

A veteran GOP analyst flagged the "biggest concern" for the Republican Party following Tuesday's special election in Georgia during a new interview on CNN.

Ashley Davis, a former official in George W. Bush's Department of Homeland Security, joined Jake Tapper on CNN's "The Lead," where the panel discussed how Republicans should view the outcome of the special election. Republican Clay Fuller defeated Democrat Shawn Harris for the seat left vacant after former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene retired from Congress. But Fuller's margin of victory was less than half of the 37-point margin President Donald Trump had in the district during the 2024 election.
