An immigration judge in California sued the Trump Department of Justice on Wednesday, alleging she was fired because of her political beliefs and affiliations with an immigrant-rights group, Fox News reported.

The judge, Kyra Lilien, alleged that the Trump DOJ declined to continue employing her past her probationary period for myriad reasons, including her age, her Hispanic heritage, and because she is fluent in Spanish. She named Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche as a defendant in the lawsuit and accused him of violating her First Amendment and civil rights, according to the report.

President Donald Trump just launched a new war on the American people, and it's being led by an "eccentric" MAGA figure, according to a new report.

Sebastian Gorka, the White House terrorism czar, has come up with a plan to label broad swath of Americans as domestic terrorists, journalist Ken Klippenstein reported on Wednesday. The plan labels three types of major terrorist groups: “Narcoterrorists and Transnational Gangs,” “Legacy Islamist Terrorists,” and “Violent Left-Wing Extremists, including Anarchists and Anti-Fascists.” It also identifies “left-wing,” “anti-Fascists,” “Anarchists” and “radically pro-transgender” ideologies as threats on par with the likes of al Qaeda and ISIS or narco-traffickers, Klippenstein reported.

A New York Times reporter melted down during a segment on CNN on Wednesday during a discussion about President Donald Trump's war in Iran.

Lulu Garcia-Navarro, a reporter with the New York Times, said she is "completely flabbergasted" by the Trump administration's negotiations with the Iranian regime. Trump has recently rejected two offers to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global waterway that accounts for 20% of the world's energy trade, because the Iranian regime refused to give up its nuclear weapons. She was also taken aback by the seeming inability of Trump to predict that the war would turn from a military conflict to an asymmetrical war.

The official X account for the U.S. Department of Education posted an overtly political image on Wednesday to mark Teacher Appreciation Week — depicting a beloved Nickelodeon cartoon character as a MAGA supporter.

"Teachers are dedicated," stated the account, showing a picture of Mrs. Puff, SpongeBob SquarePants' drivers' ed instructor, reading a giant red book labeled "MAGA."

A federal judge ruled on Wednesday that the Trump Department of Justice can keep the ballots it seized from the Fulton County election office in Georgia, according to reports.

U.S. District Judge Jean-Paul Boulee ruled that Fulton County's lawyers had not established that the Trump DOJ showed "callous disregard" for the county's rights, CBS News reported. Even so, he noted that the Trump DOJ's affidavit was "defective" in some instances and made "troubling" omissions about the voting mechanisms, according to the report.

Jesse Watters of Fox News instigated a full-blown shouting match on Wednesday after he told one of his Democratic colleagues that her party does not have any "standards of morality."

Watters sparked a clash with co-hosts Jessica Tarlov and Greg Gutfeld on "The Five" during a debate about why some people continue to support President Donald Trump despite his morally questionable actions. Tarlov claimed Trump is a "completely morally bankrupt person," which seemed to set off Watters and Gutfeld.

A GOP heavyweight tore into President Donald Trump in a new op-ed on Wednesday after he helped the Indiana GOP defeat itself.

On Tuesday, four of Indiana's high-profile GOP lawmakers lost their reelection bids to candidates endorsed by Trump. The endorsement followed months of pressure exerted by Trump on the Indiana state legislature to redraw its congressional election map to help the GOP preserve its majority after the 2026 midterm elections.

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito dropped a surprising hint about the court's actions during the Louisiana v. Callais case in his "frosty" response to a dissent written by one of his colleagues.

The Wall Street Journal's conservative editorial board noted on Tuesday that Alito included a footnote stating that the "constitutional question" the court was asked to decide in the case had been decided on Oct.15. The editorial board appeared to find that surprising, given that the court waited about six months to release its opinion.

A local county commissioner in Utah was irate after he and his family received threats following a vote to approve a data center project, according to a new report.

Lee Perry, a commissioner in Box Elder County, Utah, told local news station KSL5 that he began receiving threats after he voted to approve a 9-gigawatt data center located on a 40,000-acre parcel of land. The project is supported by Kevin O'Leary, a Canadian businessman and co-host of the hit show "Shark Tank." Perry added that police officers have been stationed outside of his home because of the threats he received.
