Fox News saw an awkward moment on Thursday evening, as "Special Report" anchor Bret Baier read out a complaint about the show — from President Donald Trump himself.

"Just moments ago, the president, I assume while flying to Texas, he's just landed there, put out a Truth Social saying, 'Jonathan Hunt of Fox News did a particularly inaccurate report on the Failing Islamic Republic of Iran. I don't want to meet; they do. In fact, they are begging to make a deal. Bret Baier should straighten out his flunkies for a change!'"

The biggest obstacle for Republicans heading into the midterm elections isn’t inflation or the war in Iran, according to a new analysis.

“The deeper problem for the party is that those issues represent broken campaign promises by President Donald Trump and, at least by association, the Republican majorities in Congress,” NBC News’ Jonathan Allen wrote Thursday.

President Donald Trump lashed out at a Fox News correspondent on Thursday over what he called "a particularly inaccurate report” about the U.S. war with Iran.

“Jonathan Hunt of FoxNews did a particularly inaccurate report on the Failing Islamic Republic of Iran,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. “I don’t want to meet, they do. In fact, they are begging to make a deal.”

Sen. Jon Husted (R-OH) is in damage control mode after a family that lost their three children in a truck crash condemned an attack ad against his Democratic opponent, Sherrod Brown.

The ad, cut by the National Republican Senatorial Committee, blamed the deaths of Lynnea, Luke, and Logan Soposki on Brown's support for a path to citizenship, because of the immigration status of the driver involved in the crash. Brown, said the ad, "opened our borders to dangerous illegals" when he served in the Senate previously, and "the consequences were deadly."

Three Stars and Stripes journalists facing termination sued Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other Pentagon officials Thursday, accusing them of attempting to fire workers who defended the military outlet’s editorial independence.

Publisher Max Lederer, editor-in-chief Erik Slavin and reporter Lara Korte filed the 45-page civil lawsuit in federal court in Washington, D.C., seeking to block their terminations, Washington correspondent Scott MacFarlane reported on X.

A tropical storm named Dolly formed over the Atlantic Thursday, just two days after the death of country music icon Dolly Parton, forcing forecasters nationwide to clarify that the timing was “purely coincidental.”

“The name Dolly replaced Diana after the 1990 hurricane season and was first used in 1996,” the National Hurricane Center said in a statement. Atlantic storm names come from six rotating lists established years in advance by the World Meteorological Organization, with Dolly already fourth on the official 2026 list, the center said.

President Donald Trump's order to change the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America has already had one unexpected consequence: an unassuming doctor's office in Florida is getting review-bombed.

Trump issued the order as part of an escalation of his trade war, which has sharply raised taxes on Canadian imports for a wide variety of products. Some of the loudest opposition has come from the province of Ontario, which borders many northeastern states and whose conservative premier, Doug Ford, has threatened to take things further and possibly cut off international power transmission.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk spent one of his final nights in President Donald Trump’s White House by pouring Tesla-branded tequila for his top DOGE lieutenants in what became a goodbye toast that no one recognized at the time.

The leader of the now-defunct Department of Government Efficiency produced a lightning bolt-shaped bottle and poured the tequila into plastic cups as roughly a dozen deputies crowded into his small West Wing office in May 2025, according to an excerpt from former DOGE aide Tyler Hassen’s upcoming memoir, obtained exclusively by The Daily Mail.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) bragged about defeating Minnesota's lawyers hours before an immigration officer whose release he could have prevented walked out of jail.

Christian Castro, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer, was released from the Cameron County jail shortly after dawn, The New York Times reported. Just hours earlier, Abbott crowed about winning the court case that allowed Castro to be released.
