Fashion icon Anna Wintour gave a withering critique of first lady Melania Trump's wardrobe during a new interview on Wednesday.

Wintour joined filmmaker Greta Gerwig, actress Meryl Streep, and reporters from Vogue Magazine for a wide-ranging interview about fashion, politics, and the upcoming "Devil Wears Prada" sequel. At one point, Gerwig asked Wintour about how women can communicate power through fashion. The Daily Mail noted that Wintour's response seemed to shade one of Trump's favorite fashion choices.

Vice President JD Vance was brutally mocked on Wednesday after he claimed not to know a high-ranking official in the Catholic church.

Vance was asked at a press conference in Budapest, Hungary, about a report from the Bari Weiss-led publication, "The Free Press," about senior military leaders inviting Cardinal Christophe Pierre, who served as Apostolic Nuncio to the U.S. until March 2026, to the Pentagon and telling him that the church should get on board with Trump's war in Iran.

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R) warned that Republicans will have a "tough time" holding the state House in 2026.

During the Texas Policy Summit on Wednesday, Patrick devoted a third of his keynote address to the possibility that Democrats could do well in the midterm elections.

A prominent political analyst warned Wednesday that President Donald Trump's stranglehold on the Republican Party is about to face one of its most consequential tests, and the outcome could ripple across his entire second term.

Writing in the Washington Post, Henry Olsen, a senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, argued that Trump's decision to endorse primary challengers against five Indiana state senators who defied him could either cement his dominance over the GOP or crack it open ahead of a brutal midterm cycle.

MB Ghalibaf, the speaker of Iran's Parliament, declared a ceasefire and upcoming negotiations "unreasonable" after he accused the U.S. of violating a newly minted agreement.

On Wednesday, Iran reportedly again shut down the Strait of Hormuz after Israel attacked Lebanon. For his part, President Donald Trump insisted that Lebanon had never been part of the ceasefire agreement. The U.S. president also said he had not agreed to a 10-point Iranian plan for peace as a framework for further negotiations.

Right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones declared President Donald Trump's war in Iran to be a "fiasco" after concluding that a ceasefire was "falling apart."

During a Wednesday interview with conservative author Michael Savage, Jones noted that Trump's approval ratings were plunging amid the war in Iran.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt pushed back after a reporter wondered how the U.S. could claim the moral high ground after President Donald Trump threatened to eliminate Iran's entire civilization.

"So, regarding the President's rhetoric, when the U.S. invaded Iraq in 2003, George W. Bush said in a message to the Iraqi people that the military campaign was directed, quote, against the lawless men who rule your country and not against you," the reporter noted during Wednesday's White House press briefing. "Yesterday, the President threatened to destroy Iran's civilization, the entire civilization, not the Iranian government, but the Iranian civilization, the Iranian people."

Supporters of former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene who also back Donald Trump’s America First policies, took to Truth Social on Wednesday to implore the president to set aside his differences with the Georgia Republican after he attacked her once again.

Greene has been harsh in her criticism of Trump's war on Iran and has called for him to be removed from office after he threatened to obliterate Iran if the leadership didn’t open the Strait of Hormuz.

Conservative podcaster Megyn Kelly blasted President Donald Trump for threatening to end Iran's civilization despite saying she would vote for Republicans even if he dropped a nuclear bomb.

"I am sick of this," Kelly said a day after Trump threatened Iran's civilian population. "Can he just behave like a normal human? I mean, honestly, like the president, 3D chess! Just shut up... shut up about that... You don't threaten to wipe out an entire civilization. We're talking about civilians just casually in a social media post."

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it had closed the Strait of Hormuz after U.S. President Donald Trump agreed to a ceasefire that required the waterway to remain open.

Iran had threatened to close the strait again on Wednesday morning due to Israeli strikes in Lebanon. For his part, Trump insisted that Lebanon had never been part of the ceasefire deal.
