President Donald Trump's Federal Communications Commission began its long-threatened crackdown on political late-night talk show interviews by pressuring CBS to pull an already-filmed interview on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" with Texas U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico.

But that move appears to have blown up in their faces — and some political observers are saying this could be a "boon" for Talarico's campaign.

President Donald Trump posted nearly a dozen photos of himself with the late civil rights icon Jesse Jackson in quick succession Tuesday, hours after complaining about being called “racist” – a label he appeared to be attempting to rebut by highlighting his past association with the Black civil rights leader.

Jackson died Tuesday at 84, prompting an outpour of condolences to his family from political figures across the political spectrum, including Trump. The president called Jackson a “good guy” who “truly loved people” in a social media post shortly after his passing.

Officials in Fulton County, Georgia, accused the Department of Justice of misleading a judge to obtain a search warrant last month for 2020 election ballots.

Local officials accused President Donald Trump's DOJ of making “serious” omissions in the application filed by the FBI that fails to allege probable cause that a crime had been committed, reported CNN, but instead “does nothing more than describe the types of human errors that its own sources confirm occur in almost every election — without any intentional wrongdoing whatsoever.”

MAGA influencer Benny Johnson reacted to the death of Jesse Jackson by linking the civil rights leader to "mass white slavery" and white "genocide" in a wild and evidence devoid rant.

During a Tuesday broadcast, Johnson said he had been "triggered" by Jackson's death.

New evidence is emerging that some Donald Trump voters now regret their choice and wish they could get a do-over in the 2024 election.

CNN's Harry Enten showed fresh polling that indicates some Trump voters are so unhappy with the president that they plan to take out their frustrations on the Republican Party in November's midterm.

U.S. Capitol Police said a person with what appeared to be a gun was arrested near the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday.

"Our officers just arrested a person with what appears to be a gun near the West Front of the U.S. Capitol Building," the USCP noted on X. "Please avoid the area. We will provide more information when new information is confirmed."

President Donald Trump heaped an praise on civil rights icon Jesse Jackson Monday morning in the wake of his death, but just hours later one of Jackson’s most prominent protégés clapped back — and accused Trump of putting “everything he fought for” at risk.

Jackson passed away early Tuesday, and Trump issued a statement shortly after in which he sent his “deepest sympathies and condolences” to Jackson’s family, calling the civil rights leader a “good man” who “truly loved people.” Jackson was among the most prominent leaders of the movement in the 1960s, alongside other titans such as Martin Luther King Jr., Fred Hampton and Malcolm X.
