The U.S. Supreme Court's conservative majority issued a 6-3 order Monday allowing Alabama to eliminate a majority-Black congressional district just one week before the state's primary election.

The decision reverses the court's 2022 ruling in Allen v. Milligan, which ordered Alabama to create a second majority-Black district despite the state's population being approximately 26% African American, according to Common Dreams. Justice Sonia Sotomayor criticized the ruling, noting the court previously found Alabama "intentionally diluting the votes of Black voters."

Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) called out Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to his face for "fighting culture wars" instead of winning real conflicts like the war in Iran.

During a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing on Tuesday, Coons noted that President Donald Trump's Iran war had caused a "rift" with U.S. allies.

A pair of arcade game cabinets appeared Monday morning at the D.C. War Memorial titled “Operation Epic Furious: Straight to Hell,” a satirical jab at President Donald Trump and his wildly unpopular war against Iran – and on Tuesday, MeidasTouch reporter and attorney Aaron Parnas shared a photograph appearing to show National Guard members playing the game.

The art installation was set up by Secret Handshake, an anonymous art group also responsible for such exhibits as the golden throne toilet and statues depicting Trump alongside convicted sex-offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan "Razin" Caine faced off with protesters over the war in Iran.

A decorated FBI special agent has detailed a White House-directed purge of the bureau aimed at removing employees involved in investigations into the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and former President Donald Trump's classified documents case, according to an exclusive CNN interview.

Brian Driscoll, who served as acting FBI director for one month before Kash Patel's confirmation, told CNN in his first public interview that he faced political vetting questions from Trump officials before taking the No. 2 position at the bureau, and he said Patel told him the vetting would proceed smoothly if he avoided social media activism, refrained from donating to the Democratic Party and had not voted for Kamala Harris in 2024.

Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI), the ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, slammed the Pentagon for refusing to follow the law when it comes to briefing members of Congress.

As Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was testifying before a House budget committee on Tuesday, the Rhode Island senator spoke to reporters about the Pentagon's refusal to brief both Democrats and Republicans on military operations.

President Donald Trump went on a multi-hour social media frenzy Monday night into Tuesday morning – posting on average roughly once every three minutes for three hours – and buried within his online posts was a sharp critique of his own acting attorney general and former personal attorney.

On Monday, AMG News – a website described by the media watchdog group Media Bias/Fact Check as a “conspiracy and pseudoscience news source based in Romania” – published a report with unsubstantiated claims about former President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Medeea Greere, the founder of AMG News, made the unsubstantiated claim that the report exposed Clinton for leaking classified information, that Obama “ordered” a “cover-up,” and that police officers “died trying to expose the truth.”

For all his claimed brilliance as a tech wizard, billionaire Elon Musk’s foray into the multi-billion-dollar race for artificial intelligence (AI) supremacy is, at best, floundering with users, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal.

Late Monday, the Journal reported that Musk’s AI chatbot Grok is trailing so far behind competitors like ChatGPT and Claude, that Anthropic, the company behind Claude, signed an agreement in early May, taking over "all the computing capacity at one of Musk’s main data centers,” at a time when Anthropic and rival OpenAI have been “racing to acquire all the computing capacity they can.”

The 79-year-old president fired off a 40-word denial, seemingly in response to a new report published by The Hill, on Tuesday morning before jetting off to China for talks with Xi Jinping.

President Donald Trump's move to counter skyrocketing gasoline prices could ultimately make matters worse, according to a new analysis.

The 79-year-old president announced Monday that he's open to suspend the national gas tax as prices remained higher than $4.50 a gallon and the war against Iran persists in a stalemate, but MS NOW columnist Hayes Brown argued that Trump's plan would do little to help.

Donald Trump's trip to Beijing to meet with Chinese leader Xi Jinping comes as the leadership of China is buoyed by an internal report that their country has seen its profile in the world rise above the US in large part due to American president.

With Reuters reporting that Trump needs some “wins” due to his horrific approval numbers at home, the New York Times is reporting that a “Beijing think tank affiliated with Renmin University published a triumphant report about Mr. Trump’s first year back in office. The report argued that his tariffs, attacks on allies, anti-immigration policies and assaults on the American political establishment had inadvertently strengthened China while weakening the United States. Its title: ‘Thank Trump.’”
