Wisconsin Republicans may be about to receive another devastating setback to their hopes of regaining a conservative majority on the state Supreme Court.

According to Milwaukee-based conservative radio host Mark Belling, "Incumbent Justice Rebecca Bradley, a nationally influential conservative jurist, is not likely to run for another ten-year term on the court in April of next year. Sources close to Bradley say she has been discussing her options on a run with close advisers and political strategists. Those familiar with Bradley’s thinking say she has not made a final decision but that it is unlikely that she will run."

Kim Kardashian leapt into the escalating public debate over what she called President Donald Trump’s “inhumane” immigration policies in a social media post blasting the MAGA administration and demanding an end to ICE raids that the reality star said are tearing families apart.

Kardashian, a lifelong resident of Los Angeles County, took to Instagram on Tuesday to slam the Trump White House’s intensified immigration crackdown, which has sparked days of protests in Los Angeles and other cities nationwide, according to MSNBC.

David Hogg said he will not seek to win election this week due to what he called "clear fundamental disagreements" with the Democratic National Committee, whose officers voted Wednesday to remove him and another vice chair from their positions.

Hogg served as a vice chair of the DNC this year, but his tenure was mired by controversy after he said he planned to support primary challenges against incumbent Democratic lawmakers through his organization, Leaders We Deserve. Hogg said in April that the group that he co-founded, Leaders We Deserve, planned to spend $20 million to oust Democrats in primaries that they felt were "asleep at the wheel."

A chorus of loud boos and cheers greeted President Donald Trump on Wednesday night at the newly MAGAfied John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, where Trump was set to watch "Les Misérables."

A far-right state lawmaker in South Carolina has been arrested amid an investigation into potential child exploitation, according to reports.

State Rep. RJ May III was arrested on Wednesday outside his West Columbia home by federal and state law enforcement agents, The State reported, citing a source.

A federal judge "completely disregarded" the demands of a Trump administration appointee to throw a CIA leaker in prison for 10 years, The Intercept reported on Wednesday.

"U.S. District Judge Patricia Tolliver Giles said she had to balance the potential harm caused by Asif William Rahman’s disclosure of secret analyses of Israel’s plans for an attack on Iran against his swift decision to cooperate and plead guilty to two Espionage Act violations," reported Matt Sledge. During the sentencing, "Giles gave credit to the defense’s argument that Rahman acted both in response to soaring tensions in the Middle East and out of trauma caused in part by a deployment to Iraq."

On Tuesday night, June 10, New Jersey voters picked the main nominees in their closely watched 2025 gubernatorial race. Democrats nominated four-term Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill — a former U.S. Navy helicopter pilot — while Republicans chose conservative former state lawmaker Jack Ciattarelli.

Although Ciattarelli was critical of President Donald Trump in the past, Trump is endorsing him in this 2025 race. Sherrill, however, is running an aggressively anti-Trump campaign, and she attacked Ciattarelli as "Trump's lackey" during her victory speech.

After months of controversy, Democratic National Committee officers have voted to remove two vice chairs from their positions, including a 25-year-old youth activist who has formed the basis of months of controversy, Politico reported on Wednesday evening.

This decision by party insiders "offers a potential reset for a party that’s dealt with a series of Hogg-related controversies in recent weeks," noted the report. "In April, Hogg announced the group that he co-founded, Leaders We Deserve, planned to drop $20 million on safe-seat Democratic primaries, hoping to oust 'asleep-at-the-wheel' Democrats. The move triggered a wave of anger from elected officials and DNC members alike, who vented that Hogg’s role as a party leader conflicted with the decision to take on incumbents."

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has been an increasing thorn in President Donald Trump's side as he speaks out against the sustainability of Trump's "big, beautiful bill" now under consideration in the Senate.

The bill extends Trump's 2017 tax cuts and slashes over $1 trillion from Medicaid, food stamps, and green energy subsidies. However, the cuts do not fully offset the outlays, and Paul is adamant that the bill should not increase deficit spending to such an extent.

President Donald Trump said Wednesday evening he's wholly unconcerned that actors of the popular "Les Misérables" play were boycotting their performance due to his appearance at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, which he recently MAGAfied.
