One of President Donald Trump's nominees told senators that a magazine cover depicting a Jewish man with horns and a pitchfork was not antisemitic.

Charlton Allen, nominated to be general counsel of the Federal Labor Relations Authority, made the claim during a confirmation hearing before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on Wednesday. Sen. Ruben Gallego, an Arizona Democrat, confronted Allen over a cover his publication ran in the 1990s.

Donald Trump’s much-anticipated press conference to address his Iran peace deal didn’t last long on MS NOW, with host Alicia Menendez cutting in as he discussed the war before taking questions, with the president sounding both hoarse and out of breath.

Before taking questions, the president jumped from topic to topic about the attack on the Middle Eastern country as he was flanked by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.

While the U.S. war against Iran may soon come to an end if the tentative deal agreed to on Sunday holds, President Donald Trump appears poised to launch another “unsuccessful war,” only this one targeting Americans, journalists Andrew Perez and Asawin Suebsaeng argued Wednesday in an analysis published in Zeteo.

A Trump advisor told Zeteo that they considered the tentative Iran deal a “good thing” given that it could help the administration renew its focus on Trump’s immigration crackdown.

Donald Trump’s pride in getting an Iran deal done, despite accusations that it was a complete capitulation to Iran’s leadership, led MS NOW’s Stephanie Ruhle to haul out the “Trump Always Chickens Out” (TACO) taunt.

During a discussion of the deal with former diplomat Richard Haas and MS NOW’s David Rohde, she asked the two experts what the US got out of the deal.

Senate lawmakers voted to freeze Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's travel budget unless the Pentagon answers for an Iranian school bombing and Caribbean boat strikes, Politico reported.

The Senate Armed Services Committee approved the measure last Wednesday as part of the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2027, passing 18-9 in the Republican-led panel.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) grilled President Donald Trump's budget office nominee, warning that his confirmation would enable "anti-American" policies.

Slotkin zeroed in on Hal Duncan, Trump's pick for deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget, during his confirmation hearing before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on Wednesday.

New York Times columnist Bret Stephens dropped the hammer on Donald Trump for “betraying” conservatives like himself who were encouraged that he took on Iran — only to capitulate when his war stalled out because he miscalculated the enemy.

To make his point about the president’s lack of courage, Stephens brought up the way the president avoided the Vietnam War by getting a doctor to diagnose him with bonespurs, purportedly making him unable to serve and fight.

President Donald Trump startled onlookers with a profane outburst when he was asked about former President Barack Obama's nuclear agreement with Iran.

The 80-year-old Trump has been fixated on proving the agreement to end his war in Iran is stronger than the Obama-era Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action – which he withdrew from in May 2018, during his first term – and he blew up Wednesday morning when asked about the comparison at the G7 summit.

President Donald Trump's "Freedom250" UFC match on the White House lawn was a massive display of weakness, Salon's Amanda Marcotte argued in an analysis published on Wednesday — and it reveals the true insecurity of the MAGA psyche.

The whole movement, she said, is "run by men obsessed with looking tough, but who are, in actuality, weak and incompetent. The more they fail, the more they grasp for these theatrical but ineffectual displays of masculine preening, hoping that the public mistakes loud and violent displays for strength." It gets eaten up by the MAGA faithful, she said, but the rest of America can easily see it for what it is.

President Donald Trump's move to pull the hearing for his own Director of National Intelligence nominee Jay Clayton at the last minute was driven by fury over Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), Politico's Meredith Lee Hill reported on Wednesday.

This comes as Republicans are eager to get Clayton confirmed before current DNI Tulsi Gabbard officially resigns her position, at which point Bill Pulte, a controversial Trump loyalist with no qualifying experience in national security, would take over the office on an acting basis.
