There was ultimately a settlement between Dominion Voting Systems and Fox Corp. for their role in defaming the company, but it came after weeks of brutal court documents revealing some of the most scandalous and vengeful texts and emails from the dark corners of the network. They were so bad that the network decided they were "unsurvivable" for host Tucker Carlson.

Now, another one is about to begin.

Nebraska state Sen. Megan Hunt has been part of the filibuster against legislation like many of the proposals around the country targeting transgender Americans.

Hunt explained that her son is transgender and has been unable to get gender-affirming care in the state.

Former FBI deputy director for counter-intelligence Frank Figliuzzi called out the fired agents that appeared before Rep. Jim Jordan's (R-OH) weaponization committee Thursday to claim that they were targeted because of their conservative beliefs.

Speaking to MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace, he joined with former U.S. Attorney and a whistleblower lawyer, Harry Litman, who questioned the legitimacy of the claim that the men were indeed whistleblowers instead of disgruntled employees.

Ahead of Rep. Jim Jordan's (R-OH) "weaponization" committee hearing on Thursday, reports revealed that at least two of the FBI agents had their clearance levels pulled as a result of controversial actions.

In the case of Marcus Allen, his top secret clearance was revoked after it was revealed he supported those who believed in or threatened to use violence against the American government. Allen then sent an email from his bureau account to colleagues in telling them to “exercise extreme caution and discretion in pursuit of any investigative inquiries or leads pertaining to the events of” Jan. 6.

In a phone call with donors for his Super PAC, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) revealed he's in the race, The New York Times reported.

“You have basically three people at this point that are credible in this whole thing. Biden, Trump and me, and I think of those three, two have a chance to get elected president — Biden and me, based on all the data in the swing states, which is not great for the former president and probably insurmountable because people aren’t going to change their view of him," said DeSantis.

Washington Post columnist Philip Bump explained that there's a strange divide in looking at "young voters" and their impact on elections.

This month the Census Bureau released data showing the demographics of the electorate in the 2022 midterm elections. It didn't show much of an increase from the 2018 midterms, and much less than 2020.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) began his weaponization committee hearing on Thursday by heralding the FBI whistleblowers who lost their security clearance due to their Jan. 6 sympathies. They have since been helped financially by Republican donors and allies of former President Donald Trump.

Jordan praised the men, highlighting their service to the country and in some cases, military service. He called them heroes.

A long and uncomfortable silence stopped a CNBC interview with Elon Musk on Tuesday. It was broken when the billionaire quoted the 1987 film "The Princess Bride."

The interview turned as Musk attempted to explain that he's not anti-Semitic.

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani was sued this week by a former employee alleging, among other things, sexual harassment and assault. Giuliani denies the allegations. Now he's being sued again by a Staten Island ShopRite employee.

According to the New York Daily News, Giuliani is being sued by the employee who put his hand on Giuliani's back and called him a "Scumbag." The incident landed the store employee in prison, he lost his job and conservatives came after him. The charges were ultimately dismissed, but Gill and his lawyer argue that Giuliani continued lying about the incident causing more harm to Gill.
