CNN's Kaitlan Collins made Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) squirm during a segment on "The Source" on Thursday after she threw his words about gas prices back in his face.

Collins reminded Jordan of how critical he was of the Biden administration when the price of gasoline topped $3 per gallon during the COVID-19 pandemic. Jordan, a staunch ally of President Donald Trump, has remained largely silent as gas prices have climbed above $4.50 per gallon amid the Trump administration's war with Iran.

The internet erupted on Thursday after a new report revealed President Donald Trump's plan to create a billion-dollar fund to pay his allies.

ABC News reported that Trump is considering dropping his $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service over the release of his tax returns during his first administration, in exchange for creating a $1.7 billion fund to pay his allies who claim they were wrongfully prosecuted by the Biden administration. The report indicates that Trump himself won't qualify for payments under the initiative, but entities tied to the president can be paid.

President Donald Trump is expected to drop his massive, $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service, but not for reasons some might expect, according to a new report.

ABC News reported on Thursday that Trump plans to drop the lawsuit in exchange for creating a $1.7 billion fund that he can use to pay allies who claim they were wrongfully targeted by the Biden administration. Those allies include recently pardoned Jan. 6 rioters like the Proud Boys and Oathkeepers, as well as lawmakers who were investigated by Biden's Department of Justice.

A former lawmaker from a red state warned that something ominous is hiding behind the latest "five-alarm fire" from the Supreme Court, according to a new report.

G.K. Butterfield Jr., a former Democratic representative from North Carolina, told The Atlantic recently that the Supreme Court's ruling in Louisiana v. Callais is a "five-alarm fire" for voting rights. The ruling allowed states to gerrymander their maps for partisan purposes, even if there is a racially discriminatory effect from the move, which effectively gutted the last remaining section of the Voting Rights Act that protected minority voters.

Fox News host Jesse Watters sparked outrage on Thursday after he uttered a "trash" claim about the Voting Rights Act during a segment on the show he co-hosts, "The Five."

During the segments, Watters claimed that Black people don't have enough babies to justify their proportionate share of representation in Congress. He made the claim at a time when the Supreme Court ruled in Louisiana v. Callais that states can gerrymander their maps for partisan purposes, even if there is a racially discriminatory effect. Red states like Louisiana, Florida, and Tennessee have all passed new maps since the ruling that eliminated Democratic seats held by Black representatives and cracked majority Black voting districts.

President Donald Trump's trip to China was billed as a high-stakes diplomatic summit with President Xi Jinping, but with one notable exception: the first lady was nowhere to be found.

Melania Trump, who had attended the 2017 Xi summit and appeared alongside both leaders and their spouses, sat this one out entirely because, according to her office, she was attending the six-month anniversary of an unnamed initiative connected to children and foster care programs. The announcement flabbergasted legal and political commentator Michael Popok, host of the podcast "The Intersection with Michael Popok," who said on a new episode on Thursday that he had no clue what Melania Trump was referring to.

A political analyst warned on Thursday that Democrats have reached a "do or die" moment ahead of the 2026 midterm elections as a red state escalates its efforts to gerrymander its map.

South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster, a Republican, announced on Thursday that he is calling a special session for state lawmakers to redraw their election map ahead of the midterms. The announcement comes after McMaster refused to call a special session earlier this month after the state legislature failed to secure a veto-proof majority supporting the new maps during its regular session.

A photographer discovered never-before-seen photographs of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein in his belongings as he was preparing to move to Europe, which he thought had been destroyed after a run-in with Epstein's bodyguard, according to a new report.

Christopher Anderson, the Vanity Fair photographer who took a recent series of eye-popping portraits of officials in President Donald Trump's administration, photographed Epstein in his New York townhome for a story that was eventually spiked. Epstein eventually wrangled the photos from Anderson, but they emerged on an old hard drive that had been tucked away for years, Vanity Fair reported.

A new lawsuit accused a MAGA culture warrior in Oklahoma of working with Chaya Raichik, founder of the Libs of TikTok social media account, to terrorize a teacher for more than three years, according to a report.

The Advocate reported on Thursday that Regan Killackey, a former Oklahoma public school teacher, filed a lawsuit accusing former state superintendent Ryan Walters of working with the popular social media account to attack Killackey over a photo of the teacher's son attacking the teacher's daughter with a plastic sword while she wore a President Donald Trump mask. The lawsuit says the campaign lasted more than 1,000 days.

Political analysts and observers mocked a giant Trump-aligned media company on Thursday after it was reported that the company is in talks to acquire a floundering conservative podcast.

Axios reported that Paramount is evaluating a potential distribution deal with Katie Miller, wife of President Donald Trump's Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, and her podcast "The Katie Miller Podcast." The report noted that Paramount is considering the deal as it attempts to bolster its podcast roster. The company has also had discussions with Paragon Collective, which hosts comedians Whitney Cummings and D.L. Hughley, and Jubilee Media, according to the report.
