Democratic Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes plans to seek a new indictment against allies of President Donald Trump who aided his bid to overturn the 2020 election, her office announced Thursday after the state Supreme Court rejected her appeal to revive the original case.

The high court's brief, unexplained ruling closed the door on a two-year-old indictment that had threatened some of Trump's closest allies — among them former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, attorney John Eastman, and 11 Arizona Republicans who falsely claimed to be the state's legitimate presidential electors.

One of the Republican senators driven out of office by President Donald Trump has signed on to a legal challenge fighting the administration's so-called anti-weaponization fund.

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), who lost a GOP primary to a challenger endorsed by the president, joined Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) in submitting an amicus brief in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia opposing the $1.776 billion fund established by the Treasury Department to pay off Trump allies who claim they were targeted for prosecution by previous administrations.

Former Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele used Trump's birthday UFC spectacle at the White House to eviscerate what he characterized as the administration's carefully constructed — and deeply misleading — image of presidential fitness.

In a column for MS NOW, Steele called out the White House health reports as "nonsense" and flagged the underlying narrative as patently suspicious.

Conservative podcaster Candace Owens is facing intense backlash within her own movement after appearing at the Kremlin-backed St. Petersburg International Economic Forum alongside sanctioned Russian officials.

Radio host Mark Levin called Owens a "Woke Reich traitor" on X.

Nancy Pelosi and a conservative reporter who has made a habit of confronting her in Capitol hallways went at it again Thursday — and the former House speaker didn't hold back.

Alison Steinberg, a congressional correspondent for LindellTV, the media outlet founded by MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, approached Pelosi (D-CA) in the halls of Congress and immediately invoked their last encounter. "Last time I asked you about January 6, why you turned the National Guard away on January 6, you told me to shut up and that I was repeating Republican talking points," Steinberg said.

Senior oil industry executives have privately warned Trump administration officials that global fuel inventories are draining at an alarming rate following the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, but the White House denies those high-level talks.

Four industry executives told Politico that insiders have delivered warnings in recent weeks to senior White House officials and Cabinet members that a significant price spike could arrive as soon as mid-to-late June, and data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration shows companies are increasingly drawing on storage reserves to compensate for the near-total halt in crude oil flows from the Middle East.

Discussing the growing Republican betrayal problems Donald Trump is experiencing as he attacks his own caucus and has made it his mission to oust some of them in primaries, longtime DC insider Mark McKinnon claimed the president is not going to like what is coming.

Appearing on MS NOW with host Alex Witt, McKinnon claimed that the retribution the president has been inflicting on some of his former allies is going to be returned in spades.

President Donald Trump displayed a chart titled "Our Pool is Bigger than Skyscrapers" during a Wednesday Oval Office press gaggle, comparing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool renovation project to the Willis Tower, Empire State Building, and One World Trade Center.

Trump stated, if the skyscrapers were laid horizontally, "it would take two or three of them to fill it in," implying the pool's width is almost 200 feet. Political analysts and observers shared reactions on social media.

One of President Donald Trump's top allies in the U.S. Senate has been busted for voting in a different state.

AL.com's Kyle Whitmire has been doggedly pursuing rumors about Sen. Tommy Tuberville's residency, voting record and, thus, his eligibility to run for Alabama governor, and the columnist has turned up evidence the Republican senator voted in Florida in 2018 – three months after moving back to the state he now represents.

A House Agriculture Committee hearing erupted Thursday into a sharp clash between Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and Rep. Shontel Brown (D-OH), with Rollins sniping that Congress's behavior explains why "the American people don't like Congress" as Brown repeatedly cut off Rollins's attempts to dodge yes-or-no questions.

Brown, the committee's vice-ranking member, came loaded with grim numbers. She pressed Rollins on whether she was aware that farm bankruptcies jumped 46 percent in 2025, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation — the second consecutive year of increases. Rollins began to deflect, noting the total number of farms, and Brown cut her off.
