The U.S. may have narrowly avoided a Constitutional crisis after insiders in the Trump administration temporarily thwarted a plan to suspend habeas corpus, but the risks don't end there, one legal expert warned on Wednesday.

Earlier this week, the New York Times reported that White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and President Donald Trump had cooked up an idea to suspend habeas corpus, the right that requires the government to explain why they have detained someone. The idea was to speed up Trump's deportation operations by arguing that illegal immigration constituted an "invasion" that required the president to enact his emergency powers, according to the report.

Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) took to X on Wednesday with a nearly five-minute video dripping from start to finish with sarcastic praise for President Donald Trump's deal to end the war against Iran.

"I truly hope that the totally unnecessary Iran war, which is not a war, is truly over and peace is achieved," said Greene. "It's truly incredible that we beat Iran dozens of times, and nearly made peace almost 40 times. It's only cost upwards of $50 billion, probably more, part of which was spent bombing a children's school by the way, and now hundreds of billions more will be spent to build more weapons to replace all the weapons and ammunition that we used in the Iran war that's not a war."

The memorandum of understanding President Donald Trump brokered to negotiate an end to the Iran war is already being harshly panned by many on the right — and some are beginning to set up Vice President JD Vance to take the fall.

This pivot was demonstrated clearly on Fox News Wednesday, as GOP personality Ben Shapiro unloaded on the vice president.

Republican senators reportedly ganged up on Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) at a closed-door Republican lunch Wednesday over his push to keep the Senate in session until a voter ID bill passes.

Sens. John Cornyn (R-TX) and John Kennedy (R-LA) led what one source described to Punchbowl News reporter Andrew Desiderio as a "pile-on" against the Utah Republican during the closed-door lunch meeting.

Georgia Republicans have decided to cancel a plan to redraw the state's congressional districts to create more Republican seats, dealing a blow to President Donald Trump's nationwide gerrymandering agenda.

The plan was supposed to be debated at the special session that begins today, and would only have applied to elections starting in 2028. Republicans were likely planning to delete a majority-Black district in the southwest of the state, and possibly another in Atlanta.
