President Donald Trump made a major endorsement in Oklahoma on Friday evening — and it left Republican officials there flabbergasted.

"It is my Great Honor to endorse MAGA Warrior, Mike Mazzei, who is running for Governor of Oklahoma, a State which I love, and WON BIG," wrote Trump on his Truth Social platform, describing Mazzei as "a successful Businessman, and former Chairman of the State Senate Finance Committee, and later, as Oklahoma’s Secretary of Budget" who will embrace "AMERICA FIRST Policies."

House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) was the sole Republican lawmaker present during a closed-door interview with former Attorney General Pam Bondi regarding the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.

According to MS NOW, the atmosphere was tense, with Bondi appearing frustrated during questioning.

Alaska Republicans just got a bizarre monkey wrench thrown into their U.S. Senate election, as incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan is facing a challenge — from Dan Sullivan.

According to the Alaska Landmine news outlet, "A Dan Sullivan from Petersburg says he is filing for the U.S. Senate race," specifically, Dan James Sullivan, not to be confused with the incumbent Dan Scott Sullivan.

White House officials are seriously considering abandoning President Donald Trump's $1.776 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund," a controversial legal "settlement" Trump arranged with his own administration that critics have called a slush fund to pay out his allies who have faced legal troubles.

The fund was created after Trump dismissed his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS for failing to keep his tax records safe from a whistleblower who illegally leaked the information to the public.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth delivered a motivational speech to Navy sailors aboard USS Boxer in Singapore, attempting to inspire troops involved in the Iran war.

Hegseth recounted President Donald Trump's remarks about Iran accepting a deal or confronting, whom he described as "my guy on the left." Hegseth then redirected credit to the sailors, saying, "It's not me. It's you guys!"

A federal judge waylaid Donald Trump's legal team Friday by reopening his $10 billion IRS lawsuit, declaring she wants to investigate "grievous allegations" that the deal to settle it was "premised on deception," The New York Times reported.

In what the Times called a "striking turnabout," U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams revived the case just days after she had closed it. The Obama appointee said she wants to scrutinize the circumstances surrounding Trump's effort to settle the suit in a way that benefited him, his family, and his political allies — including the controversial $1.776 billion "anti-weaponization fund" that critics have blasted as a slush fund.

The United States needs a deal with Iran, but Iran needs the United States as an enemy.

That's the brutal diagnosis from one of America's leading Iran experts in a new analysis warning that any peace deal President Donald Trump strikes with Tehran is almost certainly doomed before it starts.

President Donald Trump made an endorsement in the crowded contest for governor of South Carolina — in a potentially big blow to multiple other candidates trying to run as MAGA disciples.

"Highly Respected and very popular Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina, Pam Evette, is an America First Patriot who has been with me from the very beginning," wrote Trump on his Truth Social platform Friday. "She never wavered, never let me down, and was the only South Carolina Gubernatorial Candidate to Endorse me as soon as I launched my 2024 Presidential Campaign. She crisscrossed South Carolina and other States for me, and I said, at the time, that this is truly something which I cannot forget!"
