Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-CO) is catching heat for wearing a tight-fitting black and white polka-dot mini dress to a formal event Thursday night, according to several reports.

Gossip website Nicki Swift called the look a “Tiny Tasteless Work Outfit” and “inappropriate” for the event.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention laid off all its cruise ship inspectors, which would severely damage efforts to prevent outbreaks on board.

A smaller group of 12 U.S. Public Health Service officers will remain on duty, but CDC officials say they're baffled by the cuts because the inspectors are funded through fees paid by cruise ship companies and not taxpayer dollars, reported CBS News.

Reacting to the Supreme Court's stunning ruling that Donald Trump's administration must "facilitate" the return of a Maryland father who was mistakenly shipped off to a prison in El Salvador, MSNBC legal analyst Danny Cevallos stated the devil is in the details.

Speaking with "Morning Joe" co-host Joe Scarborough, the attorney admitted he was just as surprised as anyone that the conservative-leaning court ruled unanimously in favor of the family of 29-year-old Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, but also pointed out that the ruling left some "wiggle room" for the anti-immigrant Trump DOJ.

The commander of the U.S. Space Force base in Greenland was removed for apparent disloyalty two weeks after vice president JD Vance's visit to the remote outpost.

The military service branch issued a statement Thursday announcing that Col. Susannah Meyers was removed from her post at Space Base Delta 1 due to "loss of confidence in her ability to lead," reported the New York Times.

MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow tore into the Supreme Court on her show late Thursday over its confusing — and tepid — order that the Trump administration try to "facilitate" a wrongfully deported migrant's return to the United States.

The high court ruled that the Trump administration must take steps to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man that the Trump administration admitted it mistakenly deported to El Salvador. But the court stopped short of forcing the government to ensure Abrego Garcia is returned to the U.S.

A Democratic lawmaker’s brutal takedown of what she characterized as the unscrupulous actions Elon Musk is engaging in as head of the Department of Government Efficiency sparked a tense clash Thursday night when Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) tried to squeeze in his own retort.

The fiery exchange unfolded during a CNN town hall just after Lawler delivered a fierce defense of the tech billionaire, whom he credited with conducting a “turbocharged forensic audit through every department and agency.”

A former official in George W. Bush's administration knocked the Justice Department over its response to a Supreme Court ruling that ordered the Trump administration to "facilitate" the return of a migrant who was wrongfully deported to El Salvador.

The conservative-leaning high court ruled that a lower court correctly ordered the Trump administration to "facilitate" Kilmar Abrego Garcia's release from custody from a notoriously brutal Salvadoran megaprison and to "ensure that his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador."

It didn’t take long for a political quarrel to unfold during a CNN town hall on Thursday featuring four members of Congress, who, besides taking audience questions, also took on each other.

The first head-to-head of the night brought Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) out of his seat to respond to jabs flung by Rep. Jahana Hayes (D-CT) as the two debated immigration issues, including the Laken Riley Act.

CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins flagged a "notable" response from a Connecticut Democrat, who acknowledged at a televised town hall Thursday night that she regretted voting in favor of the Laken Riley Act.

President Donald Trump signed the act into law in late January, mandating that certain noncitizens be held without bail if they're accused of specific crimes, including theft, burglary, shoplifting, assaulting a police officer, or crimes causing death or serious bodily injury. The law applies even if charges are later dropped and includes people authorized to be in the United States, such as asylum seekers and those with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, or Temporary Protected Status. Minors are not exempt.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) loaded up on stocks in the middle of the market's freefall due to President Donald Trump's imposition of draconian tariffs around the world, CBS News reported on Thursday.

"The Georgia Republican, an avid supporter of the Trump administration's trade policies, not only bought stocks last week as others dumped them in a panic — she scooped up some of the biggest losers," said the report. "Lululemon, Dell Computer, Amazon, the parent of Restoration Hardware and a few others hit hard by President Trump's tariff threats were down 40% on average late last week when she pounced. Data from a required three-page financial holdings document doesn't disclose exactly how much she paid for the stocks, only ranges and dates."

U.S. House passes bill targeting voting by noncitizens, which is already against the law

The Supreme Court’s instructions for the government to “facilitate the return” of the Maryland father mistakenly deported to a notorious El Salvadoran prison last month sent a clear message of disapproval to the Trump administration, according to former federal prosecutor Jeffrey Toobin.

But it also sparked more legal questions than settled answers for the CNN legal analyst, who agreed that the ruling Thursday evening in the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia was “a big deal from this Supreme Court.”

A federal judge in Boston has signaled she is likely to block President Donald Trump's plan to deport thousands of Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan, and Venezuelan migrants granted protected status in the United States, reported the Miami Herald on Thursday.

Per the report, U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, stated "that her decision will allow the paroled migrants to stay in the United States as they pursue immigration benefits. In effect, it will prevent the Department of Homeland Security from revoking their parole status as part of an administration plan to end the humanitarian program on April 24."
