President Donald Trump has "signed off on a plan" to oust Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Marty Makary, sources told the Wall Street Journal.

According to Friday's report, Trump has clashed with Makary over the speed at which flavored nicotine vapes are being approved. The president has also had disagreements with the FDA commissioner on abortion and drug policy, the sources said.

In January, a Cuban immigrant died in a Texas immigration detention facility from what the Trump administration alleged was an attempted suicide, but another detainee calls his death suspicious.

An immigrant detained at the same facility claims that he “heard” the Cuban immigrant being “choked to death,” but that he was threatened by an immigration enforcement officer to keep quiet about the incident, and the detainee granted Zeteo permission to share his account, though the outlet withheld his identity over safety concerns and identified him only by the pseudonym “Texas.”

Expressing both bemusement and concern at the same time, former Undersecretary of State Richard Stengel stated on MS NOW on Friday morning that a bombshell CIA report that Iran still has the ability to stand up to the U.S. is bad news, but it is even worse that it caught the White House by surprise.

Citing the Washington Post report, host Anna Cabrera asked, “So, Rick, given this CIA assessment suggesting Iran can withstand a lot more pain and they can hold off if the U.S. has a blockade for more months, in fact, and given other reporting that U.S. military assets were more severely, severely damaged by Iran than the administration has let on, what does that mean for the kind of leverage Iran might have in any negotiation?”

President Donald Trump met Friday's news that the Virginia Supreme Court had struck down a voter-approved redistricting referendum with delight — but many questioned the ruling as unjust.

The court ruled 4-3 that the state’s Democratic-led legislature had violated procedural requirements when it placed the constitutional amendment on the ballot asking voters to authorize the mid-decade redistricting, but the ruling strikes down the narrowly approved measure enacted two weeks ago in response to gerrymanders in GOP-led states.

Former Fox News contributor Sean Duffy revealed that he spent seven months making a reality show while serving the country as Secretary of Transportation.

In a Friday interview on Fox News, Duffy and his wife, Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy, announced their new program called "The Great American Road Trip."

ABC has filed an aggressive defense against Federal Communications Commission regulatory action, accusing the agency of violating the network's free speech rights and creating a chilling effect on political content. The filing, made public Friday, represents the network's most forceful pushback since President Donald Trump began pressuring media organizations last year.

The dispute centers on ABC's morning talk show "The View," after FCC Chair Brendan Carr questioned whether the program qualifies for a news exemption under equal time rules, which require broadcast stations to provide political candidates equal airtime, reported the New York Times. The show features political interviews and commentary, often critical of Trump.

Critics hounded the Trump administration on Friday after the White House released its 2026 Counterterrorism Strategy report earlier that morning, which onlookers immediately noticed was riddled with typos and grammatical errors.

“This entire document looks like something written by an intern,” wrote author and foreign policy analyst Kabir Taneja on Friday in a social media post on X.

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins recently celebrated the removal of food stamps from 4.5 million Americans.

During an interview with Newsmax host Rob Finnerty this week, Rollins seemed jubilant about her success in moving people off of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

President Donald Trump was dubbed an "economic serial killer" for killing off companies and entire industries with his policies.

Catherine Rampell, an economics editor at The Bulwark and an anchor at MS NOW, published a column Friday questioning the 79-year-old president's priorities after his administration paid out $2 billion in taxpayer funds to arm-twist developers into halting offshore wind projects that were already in the works.

It didn't take long on Friday for readers of the Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post to lash out at the once venerable Washington institution for publishing a column purportedly written by Donald Trump’s wife, Melania.

Going into the Mother's Day weekend, Melania, who gave birth to Trump’s fifth child, Barron, extolled the virtues of being a mother in a column with the headline “Mothers are America’s strength,” and a subhed of “Women can lead boldly at work while restoring the honor of motherhood.”

Virginia's Supreme Court struck down a redistricting referendum approved by voters in a special election.

The court ruled Friday that Democratic lawmakers violated procedural rules when they referred a constitutional amendment to the ballot to draw up a new congressional map that would likely have given Democrats four additional seats, reported WTVR-TV.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) cautioned that a redistricting attempt in South Carolina could backfire because of the state's large Black population.

"I would recommend that everybody look at the map and see if it's a net positive [for Republicans]," Graham told SCETV News in an interview this week. "It's up to the state legislature to do this, but in trying to pick up a seat, you don't want to jeopardize other seats."
