CNN host Abby Phillip silenced a MAGA columnist on Tuesday's broadcast of "NewsNight" who was defending recent comments from two GOP lawmakers that Phillip described as "anti-Muslim bigotry."

Randy Fine's (R-FL) remarks about the "Islamification of America."

Attorney General Pam Bondi has moved into military housing after facing growing threats from cartels and irate Americans, according to a new report.

The New York Times reported on Tuesday that Bondi moved out of her Washington, D.C. apartment and moved into a military base in the area.

At the same time, a growing number of Americans are increasingly frustrated with Bondi's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, according to the report.

Rep. James Comer (R-KY) joined Jesse Watters on "Jesse Watters Prime Time," where the two discussed the ongoing investigation into disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein's ranch in New Mexico.

It was recently sold to a Trump ally named Don Huffines, a Republican state representative in Texas.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright lit up the internet Tuesday after his social media post about Navy tanker escorts sent oil markets into a frenzy.

The post, which has since been deleted, left Wall Street reeling from what one expert called "an unforgivable error," according to the Wall Street Journal. The tweet, which cost traders $84 million in minutes, claimed the U.S. Navy was escorting oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, causing crude futures to nosedive. Department of Energy officials later admitted, "A video clip was deleted from Secretary Wright's official X account after it was determined to be incorrectly captioned by Department of Energy staff."

Nobel Prize-winning economist-turned-political commentator Paul Krugman offered a grim assessment of America's economic prospects if President Donald Trump's war with Iran continues.

President Donald Trump's latest pick to become the nation's next surgeon general just hung "a big warning sign" on her nomination, according to one analyst.

Two weeks ago, Casey Means testified before the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions committee, which is tasked with determining whether her nomination can move to a full vote. At one point in the hearing, Means seemed reluctant to acknowledge that the flu vaccine is safe and effective, which Johnathan Cohn of The Bulwark argued in a new article suggested that Means was "tailoring her statements to avoid political blowback."

On Tuesday, the D.C. Office of Disciplinary Counsel formally accused Ed Martin, Trump's pardon attorney at the Department of Justice, of ethical violations over threatening letters he sent to Georgetown University's law school regarding its diversity policies. What Martin is being accused of in the letter could also apply to another one of Trump's favorite prosecutors, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro in Washington, D.C., former federal prosecutor Harry Litman suggested during a new podcast interview.

A basic legal error could tank the Justice Department's lawsuit seeking to force Washington State to hand over its confidential voter registration data.

In a court order flagged by the liberal outlet Democracy Docket, U.S. Magistrate Judge S. Kate Vaughan alerted the Justice Department that they never provided any proof that the state of Washington was properly served with their lawsuit — an oversight that would be grounds for throwing the whole case out.

Federal judges remain enraged that Immigration and Customs Enforcement leadership are habitually blowing off court orders, Politico reported — and it's a huge focal point of the strain building between the federal bench and the Trump administration.

This follows months of reports that federal judges are losing decades of institutional trust that DOJ lawyers take for granted when arguing cases. According to this report, however, many judges still trust line prosecutors at DOJ — it's DOJ leadership that have no credibility with them.

Mojtaba Khamenei, the 56-year-old son of the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was selected by Iran's Assembly of Experts as the country's next leader. Khamenei has been described by experts as "his father on steroids," and the New York Times described the new Khamenei's reign as a "show of open defiance to Iran’s attackers."
