FBI Director Kash Patel was roasted by political analysts and observers on Thursday after he revealed his latest training gimmick for FBI agents.

Variety reported that the FBI is teaming up with the Ultimate Fighting Championship to train new agents at the bureau's headquarters in Quantico, Virginia. The report quotes a press release from the UFC that says fighters will train agents on "specific techniques and tactics, offering a unique perspective to the students as they prepare to enter the field office."

A former staffer at Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, raised eyebrows on Thursday after analysts viewed his "arrogant" deposition tape.

Nathan Cavanaugh, an ex-DOGE staffer, was deposed as part of a lawsuit filed by the American Council of Learned Societies, the American Historical Association, and the Modern Language Association challenging the agency's use of ChatGPT to identify and cancel grants supporting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, or DEI, programs.

A CNN host threw President Donald Trump's words in a Republican's face on Thursday as he tried to defend the president's decision to coordinate a bombing campaign against Iran.

CNN's Kasie Hunt and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) got into a heated exchange on "The Arena" while discussing the recent bombing strikes in Iran. Jordan argued that the strikes were necessary because the Iranian regime had killed American military troops as well as Iranian citizens. He also argued thatTrump was trying to ensure that Iran would never develop a nuclear weapon, even though Trump claimed last year that the U.S. had "completely obliterated" Iran's nuclear facilities in a different series of strikes.

The executive of Harris County, Texas, has claimed she was "manhandled" by staff at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, posting audio of the event in which she can be heard complaining and staff ordering her to leave.

But Judge Lina Hidalgo's account of what happened has been disputed by the event officials, who put out a statement on Thursday saying she ignored clear rules to try to crash an event she had no access to, and no excessive force was used against her.

President Donald Trump complained that he couldn't say the word "beautiful" at an event honoring Women's History Month on Thursday.

"We love women," Trump announced. "Women are the whole deal, okay? And today is very special because we celebrate Women's History Month. That's what it's about every year."

Joseph Mazzara, a key aide to former Department of Homeland Security head Kristi Noem, was removed from his DHS position following an internal power struggle. The Daily Beast reported Mazzara "emptied his office," and was "walked out of the building," by employees.

Insiders attributed his removal to tension with current leadership, with one source stating "Mazzara was very much in the Noem camp, and Rodney Scott can't stand him."

An "American Army girl" posting thirst trap images of herself visiting the White House, meeting with President Donald Trump, and mediating various international conflicts turns out to be an AI-generated fake that exists to lure MAGA supporters to an OnlyFans account for foot fetishists, The Daily Beast reported on Thursday.

"The account, 'jessicaa.foster,' has amassed 1 million followers on Instagram, funneling massive engagement from fake photos with President Donald Trump and MAGA-friendly captions to an OnlyFans account selling photos of feet, Fast Company and Marca have discovered," said the report. "While the Instagram photos appear hyper-realistic, aside from incorrect American flags and bizarre U.S. Army casual wear, there are several telltale signs that Jessica is very much not real."

New York Times columnist Michelle Goldberg went to a Florida gubernatorial campaign rally expecting fringe politics, but found something far more disturbing: standing-room-only crowds of young men, some still in high school, cheering antisemitic provocations and wearing the caps of a self-described Nazi sympathizer's movement.

The candidate is James Fishback, a 31-year-old longshot running for governor, whose rallies have attracted dubious figures, including white nationalist Nick Fuentes. Goldberg set off a warning flare in her Thursday column.
