A House Judiciary Committee hearing on the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) went sideways Tuesday when a GOP witness interrupted a line of Democratic questioning with a non-sequitur about infant genitalia.

It started simply enough. Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) pressed the panel on whether the Justice Department's controversial $1.776 billion "anti-weaponization fund" — scrapped last week by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche after bipartisan backlash — should have been shut down. SPLC Interim CEO Bryan Fair said yes. Then Raskin turned to Dr. Alveda King.

The federal prosecutor leading California's election fraud investigations appeared on Glenn Beck's show Monday to announce imminent charges — then pleaded with the public to help him find the evidence to bring them.

First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli, the number-two federal prosecutor in the Central District of California, told Beck that election fraud charges are coming — "one to two months, I believe" — before pivoting to ask the conservative host's audience for help.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche didn't defend a single allegation in his latest court filing. His opponent — a journalist and lawyer — is now arguing that silence speaks for itself.

In a reply brief filed Monday, Katie Phang — a Yale graduate and trial attorney turned independent journalist who spent three years hosting her own MSNBC show — accused Blanche of what her original complaint called a "brazen, shocking, and ongoing violation" of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Her case: he conceded every charge.

Andrew Tate is facing rape charges in two countries, free to travel only because the White House intervened on his behalf — and this week he used that freedom to lavish praise on Russian President Vladimir Putin's Russia before a Kremlin-backed audience.

"If you have patriotic masculine men, you're gonna protect Russia," Andrew Tate told RT's Sanchez Effect in an interview that aired Monday. Russia, he continued, "is a very patriotic nation, and they don't fear having a masculine population…"

President Donald Trump relentlessly attacked former President Joe Biden for having “virtually drained” the United States’ Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) ahead of the 2022 midterms, but on Tuesday, CNN’s Matt Egan noted that “this week,” the SPR is poised to reach its lowest levels in well over four decades.

“The Strategic Petroleum Reserve down by another eight million barrels last week, total of 66 million barrels have been released from the SPR since the [Iran] war started, and you might recall that four years ago, then-candidate Trump, he really blasted President Biden for aggressively draining the SPR ahead of those midterm elections in 2022,” said CNN’s Matt Egan.

A Trump megadonor got demolished on live television Monday night after demanding the country trust his voter fraud claims — then refusing to cite a single source to back them up.

Hal Lambert, a Republican megadonor and regular on CNN's "NewsNight," clashed with CNN commentator Charles Blow and anchor Abby Phillip over President Donald Trump's long-debunked claims that the 2020 election was stolen.

National security professionals inside the Trump administration are outraged after President Donald Trump made one of the worst appointments in his political tenure, according to one expert.

David Rothkopf, a columnist for The Daily Beast, said on a new episode of "The Daily Beast Podcast" on Monday that insiders he's spoken with were shocked when Trump appointed Bill Pulte, the administration's former mortgage chief, as the next Director of National Intelligence. Rothkopf said his sources were outraged by Pulte's willingness to do what Trump tells him and his lack of experience in the role, which is defined by federal law.
