A police officer in Australia was convicted on charges that he pointed a gun at a colleague and warned him not to reveal spoilers from the movie Top Gun: Maverick, Australia's ABC reported.

Court documents say that back in May, 26-year-old Probationary Constable Morgan Royston told Constable Dominic Francis Gaynor that he saw the movie the previous night, saying, "I'll spoil it for you." Gaynor, 30, then laughed and said: "Don't spoil the movie, c***".

A man who allegedly participated in the riots of Jan. 6, 2021, used a flagpole bearing a Confederate flag to smash his way into the U.S. Capitol.

In court documents unsealed this week, an unnamed F.B.I. agent alleged that Troy Koen had participated in the Jan. 6. attacks.

UPDATE: The House GOP leadership has now pulled the bill. It is the second bill that the Republicans have withdrawn this week due to a lack of support.

Republicans are looking for an opportunity to use absences in the House by Democrats to pass a budget bill, Punchbowl News' Jake Sherman posted on social media Thursday. There are currently four Republicans out and 12 Democrats.

Michigan Assistant Attorney General Heather Meingast testified that officials in her state "stand ready" to ban former President Donald Trump from the ballot if a court orders it.

In a hearing on Thursday, a judge heard arguments that Trump should not be allowed on the 2024 presidential ballot because he participated in an insurrection to overthrow the 2020 election. But the secretary of state's office sought to remain neutral.

Former George W. Bush strategist Karl Rove warned in a new op-ed for the Wall Street Journal that Republicans will be in for a nightmare if they nominate Trump for a third time in 2024.

"As Democrats savor their victories in Tuesday’s Ohio abortion referendum, Kentucky governor’s race and Virginia and New Jersey legislative contests, they might be tempted to ignore the implications of a Nov. 3 New York Times/Siena College poll that shows Donald Trump beating Joe Biden in five of six 2024 battleground states. Mr. Trump lost all six in 2020," wrote Rove.

Israeli actress Gal Gadot hosted a screening at the Los Angeles Museum of Tolerance this Wednesday that showed the horrific footage recorded by Hamas terrorists as they carried out the worst terror attack in Israel's history on Oct. 7.

The announcement of the event immediately prompted anger on social media from supporters of the Palestinian movement, some of whom accused Gadot of endorsing "genocide" and being a "propagandist," and police were on the scene Wednesday night to maintain security.

Local residents are trying to recall an Oklahoma city commissioner believed to have marched with white nationalists in Charlottesville, Virginia, in the infamous "Unite the Right" rally.

An elementary school in the suburbs of Dallas was left shaken after a security guard left a loaded gun in a school bathroom, reported WFAA this week.

"The security guard, who is contracted by the district to work at the school, had entered the adult restroom reserved for teachers and staff and left his firearm in there, the email said," reported Paul Livengood. "Approximately 56 seconds after the guard left, a teacher entered the restroom and found the gun. The teacher instantly alerted Story Elementary administration, according to the email sent to parents."

The U.S. media has failed to communicate the threat Donald Trump poses to democracy, a leading media critic concludes.

A recent poll shows the twice-impeached, four-times-indicted former president easily winning the 2024 election over President Joe Biden in several key states that will likely determine the race, and media critic Margaret Sullivan wrote a new column for The Guardian explaining how journalists have failed to present the facts against Trump.

Republicans had their third debate in Miami on Wednesday, and for the third time, former President Donald Trump — leading everyone in the polls — was conspicuous mainly in his absence.

ABC News' Jon Karl agreed with George Stephanopoulos on "Good Morning America" Thursday that the GOP's unwillingness to properly deal with him is an indication of how it was a "Twilight Zone" debate.

Chris Christie explained why Mark Meadows could singlehandedly get Donald Trump convicted of inciting the Jan. 6 insurrection.

The former White House chief of staff has been granted immunity by special counsel Jack Smith in the District of Columbia case, and Christie told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that Meadows would be a compelling witness who could ultimately land Trump in prison and wipe him from the 2024 ballot.

Donald Trump could very well take the stand again in his New York fraud trial, and a legal expert explained why the former president might be willing take that risk.
