Sen. Darline Graham (R-SC) got a thorough roasting by The Bulwark on Friday, in reaction to her first few weeks in office — and her seeming lack of preparedness for the basic functions of the job.

The clearest example of this was when she admitted during a Senate debate that she doesn't know anything about Taiwan's conflict with China and the U.S. position on the issue.

Country singer Alexis Wilkins, girlfriend of FBI Director Kash Patel, lost her first legal battle in a sprawling defamation campaign against right-wing figures who've accused her of being a foreign agent sent to compromise the nation's law enforcement.

A federal judge in Utah ruled against Wilkins this week in her $5 million lawsuit against former Republican Senate candidate Sam Parker, tossing the case on jurisdictional grounds rather than deciding whether Parker's claims were actually defamatory, The Daily Beast reported.

The data center OpenAI is building in southern Ohio will draw its power from what would be the largest fossil-fuel power plant ever constructed in the United States, and the Trump administration is racing its environmental review to the finish.

According to Heatmap News, the federal review of the PORTS-Pike project's 9.2-gigawatt natural gas plant began July 10 and is slated to wrap by Dec. 23, roughly seven months to clear a facility bigger than five of Ohio's largest existing power plants combined. Regulators are handling it with an "environmental assessment," the lighter of the two federal review options, rather than a full environmental impact statement.

CNN's Erin Burnett caught Fox News' Sean Hannity completely stumbling over his past remarks about the importance of politicians being fluent in foreign policy.

It all came after freshly appointed Sen. Darline Graham (R-SC) was put on the spot about Taiwan defense at a debate and couldn't come up with any meaningful answer, admitting she's "not that informed" on national security.

FBI Director Kash Patel sued The Atlantic to clear his name, and legal analyst Michael Popok was taken aback, as he may have just handed the magazine the keys to his phone.

On his MeidasTouch show Legal AF, Popok picked apart Patel's latest move in his $250 million defamation suit over an April article that alleged excessive drinking, unexplained absences and episodes of being unreachable — claims Patel has called "unequivocally categorically false."

The conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board does not trust President Donald Trump's new vows to inflict economic devastation on Iran, as his war continues to flounder.

The president's "blustering threats, alternating with claims of imminent peace and victory, are doubted by friends and foe," wrote the board, which has been a frequent critic of Trump's strategy in Iran, if not his ultimate goal of dismantling the regime.
