The Justice Department has reportedly reached a settlement with Michael Flynn, the retired three-star general and former Trump national security adviser who sued the department for $50 million over what he called a politically motivated prosecution.

Flynn filed the suit in 2023, alleging the government "improperly and politically" targeted him because of his ties to President Trump's 2016 campaign. He admitted in 2017 to lying to FBI investigators about his contacts with then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, and made a second admission of false statements in 2018 as part of his cooperation with special counsel Robert Mueller. However, he tried to withdraw his plea in 2020 and accused prosecutors of "bad faith and vindictiveness."

The Texas Republican primary runoff for U.S. Senate is getting uglier, with interests backing incumbent Sen. John Cornyn and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton trading increasingly ugly barbs — and attack ads filled with AI slop.

On Wednesday, the pro-Cornyn super PAC Texans for a Conservative Majority dropped an ad full of AI-generated video clips. The ad featured a deepfaked picture of Paxton swiping on a dating app to illustrate accusations of marital infidelity. It also included AI-generated clips of people who supposedly received state grants under Paxton's leadership. These clips depicted transgender activists receiving taxpayer-funded transition surgery recovery, face-tattooed Latino "illegals" seeking to learn "how to avoid deportation," liberal protesters with blue and purple hair, and even a Soviet soldier dressed for a Red Army military parade.

Evita Duffy, the daughter of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, argued that unmarried women "vote very, very poorly" without "the security of a male."

During a Wednesday interview on Real America's Voice, Evita Duffy reacted to polling that showed President Donald Trump had dropped 20 points among men since the 2024 election.

Education Secretary Linda McMahon issued a bizarre video game-related statement on social media Tuesday that left onlookers confused by both its relevance and its blatant inaccuracies.

“In 2005, everything changed!” reads a social media post shared by McMahon's personal X account. “The ‘PlayStation Portable’ (PSP) was released and it did more than make gaming portable… it made entertainment personal, mobile, and always within reach. It was the beginning of life on the go.”

Right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones suggested Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth met the definition of a terrorist after he admitted that President Donald Trump's team members would "negotiate with bombs" to end their war in Iran.

"You're not supposed to prohibitively strike somebody for regime change; it's illegal," Jones noted on his Wednesday show. "They called it getting their nuclear program and missiles, but then Trump would come out and say, no, it's regime change. So that's why it's been all over the map."

Republican Tennessee state Sen. Paul Rose snapped at an activist journalist on Tuesday after being pressed about a controversial bill he sponsored that would support Israel’s right to annex the West Bank, territory widely recognized as Palestinian land that has been illegally occupied by Israel since 1967.

The bill, known as the “Recognizing Judea and Samaria Act," would mandate all Tennessee state agencies cease referring to the territory as the “West Bank,” and instead, refer to the territory as “Judea and Samaria,” a term used by some Israeli officials to assert its control over the territory. The bill would also recognize “Israel’s sovereignty in these areas” as being "consistent with international law.”

Republicans in Georgia are turning on Gov. Brian Kemp, accusing him of reneging on an agreement with President Donald Trump to reach a consensus on a GOP Senate nominee — and blowing up the party's strategy to try to pick up a seat from Democrats.

This comes after Republicans were already disappointed in Kemp for not running for Senate himself, as party insiders considered him their best shot to defeat Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff.

Despite President Donald Trump having persistently placed the blame on Democrats for the ongoing and widespread chaos seen at airports nationwide, Americans “aren’t buying” the president’s claims, an analysis published Wednesday in Zeteo found.

While most of the federal government remains funded, the Department of Homeland Security has been in a funding lapse since February after Democratic lawmakers refused to allocate money toward the agency without major reforms to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. As a result, staffing shortages at airports have worsened, leading to long lines for travelers nationwide.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville's campaign for Alabama governor was hit with a potential obstacle.

Fellow GOP gubernatorial candidate Ken McFeeters has alleged for months that Tuberville does not meet the constitutional requirement that a candidate for governor must have lived in Alabama for at least seven years prior to being elected. This week, he took his challenge to the senator's candidacy to the courts, reported AL.com.
