President Donald Trump privately told FBI Director Kash Patel that he was displeased with his locker room behavior during a recent trip to the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, according to NBC News.

Patel went viral after celebrating with the U.S. men’s hockey team following its gold medal win over Canada – the first U.S. gold in the event since 1980. Video first published by ProPublica showed Patel chugging a beer, banging on a table, and shouting in celebration.

Iran has agreed it will “never ever” pursue nuclear weapons, according to Oman’s top diplomat, who says a U.S.-Iran deal is now “within our reach.”

According to a report in CBS News, Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi said that negotiators have made “substantial progress” toward curbing Iran’s nuclear program.

Former Republican strategist Tim Miller slammed the emerging deal for the Trump-friendly media giant Paramount-Skydance to take control of the parent company of HBO and CNN in a panel on MS NOW Friday evening — and called it an affront to how anything should be working in a fair and competitive media market.

"Tim Miller, your thoughts on where this stands this afternoon?" asked anchor Nicolle Wallace.

President Donald Trump lashed out at the artificial intelligence company Anthropic on Friday, slamming them for refusing to change their safeguard rules against automated use of weapons for the Defense Department, claiming they want to force generals to "obey their Terms of Service instead of our Constitution," and ordering the government to phase out any contracts they have to use the company's "Leftwing nut job" Claude AI model.

The outburst triggered an immediate reaction from elected officials and analysts on social media.

CNN President Mark Thompson is urging staff not to “jump to conclusions” after news broke that parent company Warner Bros. Discovery will likely be acquired by Paramount Skydance in a blockbuster deal that has left many at the cable news network “panicked.”

According to a report in Fox News Digital, the mood inside CNN on Friday was “horrific” as staffers braced for change following Netflix’s decision to drop its bid and Paramount’s move to acquire the company’s assets, including CNN.

President Donald Trump had fun posing for photo-ops with the U.S. Men's Hockey Team after their Olympic Win — and the players, after going out of their way to pump up the president and denigrate the accomplishment of the women's team, ultimately got nothing out of it but controversy and bad PR, Alex Kirshner wrote for Slate on Friday.

The most obvious example is Brady Tkachuk, who laughed along with Trump belittling the women's team, and then faced sharp questions from the media about why he didn't stand up for his female counterparts, and also what he thinks of a MAGA AI video that emerged of himself boasting that in the win over Canada, they taught those "maple syrup-eating f---s" a lesson. He was clearly uncomfortable and wanted the controversy to go away.

The State Department issued a rare travel advisory Friday morning, urging Americans in Israel to "consider leaving while commercial flights are available," sparking fears of imminent military conflict. The directive cited threats from "violent extremists" plotting attacks in Israel. The advisory coincides with escalating U.S.-Iran tensions, with President Trump reportedly ready to imminently launch a large-scale attack on Iran. The Trump administration has mobilized the largest military buildup in the Middle East since the 2003 Iraq invasion. Scholar Monica Marks suggested the advisory indicates "a high likelihood that Israel & the US ignite another war with Iran this weekend." Journalist Rania Khalek called it "not a good sign" for those concerned about regional conflict. The advisory comes as U.S.-Iran negotiations over weapons capabilities have stalled, with Tehran officials refusing to acknowledge Trump's "red lines."

Former Vice President Kamala Harris has endorsed Rep. Jasmine Crockett in Texas’s closely contested Democratic Senate primary, marking her “most significant endorsement” since leaving office over a year ago, according to the New York Times.

Crockett, a second-term congresswoman, is locked in a tight race against state Rep. James Talarico, who has built a sizeable following online. The contest has drawn national attention as both candidates continue to insist that the traditional ruby-red state is ready to elect a Democrat statewide for the first time since the 1990s.

President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform on Friday to proclaim that artificial intelligence company Anthropic will no longer be allowed to do business with the federal government.

Anthropic, which runs the Claude model, has been in conflict with the Department of Defense, as Secretary Pete Hegseth demands, among other things, that it removes its safeguards against the model approving the use of deadly force without human input.

President Donald Trump lashed out at the Supreme Court again on Friday, questioning whether a “Rehearing or Readjudication” is possible after the justices dealt a devastating blow to his tariff agenda one week ago.

In a lengthy post on Truth Social, Trump claimed the ruling “could allow for Hundreds of Billions of Dollars to be returned to Countries and Companies that have been ‘ripping off’ the United States of America for many years."
