An outburst by Donald Trump when asked about Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner provoked laughter on MS NOW on Wednesday afternoon after the president tried to smear the Democrat.

During his brief press availability in the Oval Office, where the 79-year-old president once again remained seated, he was asked about Platner’s bid to oust Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME).

In four minutes on Wednesday morning, Donald Trump promised to bomb Iran and wished for world peace.

At 11:50, gathered in the Oval Office for the signing of a $70 billion immigration enforcement bill, President Donald Trump turned to reporters with a warning about Iran. "We hit them hard yesterday, and we're gonna hit them again hard today — in case you miss it, in case you don't turn on your television set," he said.

Former Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino erupted during a tense Situation Room confrontation with White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles in front of shocked administration insiders last July, refusing to be scapegoated for the DOJ's catastrophic mishandling of the Epstein files, according to new reporting.

According to New York Times reporting by Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman from their forthcoming book "Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump," Bongino was summoned to the White House along with FBI Director Kash Patel to meet with Wiles, Attorney General Pam Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, and Taylor Budowich, one of Wiles's deputies.

The moment Bongino arrived in the room, Wiles accused him of leaking sensitive Epstein information to ABC News, the Times is reporting.

Donald Trump called up the late conservative gadfly Charlie Kirk last July and berated him for letting one of his Turning Point rallies spiral into anger and conspiracy rumors about the Jeffrey Epstein files, reports the New York Times.

According to reporting from Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, from their forthcoming book, “Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump,” at the same time that Trump was trying to take heat off of Attorney General Pam Bondi for her handling of the Epstein Files, Kirk was on the road holding rallies that were roiled by the revelations trickling out of the FBI.

A California Democrat took to the House floor Tuesday to declare Donald Trump's tendency to fall asleep in public a "grave national security threat" — and demanded that Republicans join her in forcing the White House to come clean about the president's health.

The speech by Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove was first flagged by journalist Aaron Rupar.

Add to the number of missteps Donald Trump’s White House has made with regard to the “explosive” Jeffrey Epstein files, Trump Chief of Staff Susie Wiles believed that the controversy would blow over after the FBI released a memo on their findings.

She could not have been more wrong and she had been warned, according to the New York Times’ Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan.

A pro-MAGA Real America's Voice host declared he won't wear a single drop of sunscreen on an upcoming Florida trip — then played a clip of an anti-medicine influencer arguing against science that the sun doesn't cause cancer; it's the corn dogs.

Steve Gruber, host of the conservative network's morning program Day Break, made the announcement Wednesday alongside his guest and wife, Ivey Ramos Gruber, who agreed sunglasses might also be unnecessary. The segment fits neatly into the MAHA movement's growing anti-sunscreen wing — and straight into a public health nightmare.

White evangelicals are just 13% of the American population. But according to one columnist, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is building a Pentagon that looks a lot like their church — and writer Amanda Marcotte says that's no accident.

When the Pentagon cut its official list of military religious designations from 211 to 31 earlier this month, it left out one group that expected to be included: Latter-day Saints. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints wasn't classified as Christian at all.

According to reporting in the upcoming book, “Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump,” by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, former Attorney General Pam Bondi reportedly infuriated the president’s inner circle during a meeting with high-profile conservative influencers about the Jeffrey Epstein files.

On February 27, the White House Communications Office had scheduled a lineup of cabinet officials to brief popular MAGA influencers in the Roosevelt Room. Vice President JD Vance led the session, followed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, walking the influencers through the administration's agenda. In attendance was a "who's who of online Trump world": Mike Cernovich, Liz Wheeler, Collin Rugg, and DC Draino.

According to Swan and Haberman, Trump himself brought them to the Oval Office and presented custom-designed challenge coins as tokens of appreciation. Before the day went sideways, one influencer remarked: "It was the best day of my life."

Then Bondi and her team reportedly waltzed into the Roosevelt Room carrying boxes. The attorney general had prepared binders as handouts; her aides would later claim the FBI had prepared them with revelatory details. One staffer reportedly boasted: "Watch this. This is cool. This is going to be epic."

Instead, the binders led to panic in the room.

As Bondi's staff distributed the binders, "blood pressure in the room" skyrocketed among other officials because no one in the White House had vetted the material in the binders and the attorney general was distributing materials she was calling "the Epstein files" without approval.

According to the report, one official opened a binder and frantically flipped through pages looking for Trump's name and, "A few pages in, right in the middle of the page, there it was."

Any question over whether Donald Trump was watching MS NOW’s "Morning Joe” on Wednesday morning was put to rest after he fired off a furious Truth Social post moments after the hosts read excerpts from a bombshell New York Times report on the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Following an interview with Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, co-host Joe Scarborough broke the news that Trump had just lashed out at the show.
