President Donald Trump privately "rages" at UK leaders like Prime Minister Kier Starmer for creating a "haunting" problem for him, according to one of the president's biographers.

Michael Wolff, who has written four books about Trump, discussed the president's trip to the UK on a new episode of "Inside Trump's Head," a podcast he appears on with The Daily Beast's Chief Content Officer, Joanna Coles. Wolff mentioned that the country's leadership appeared to have created a significant problem for Trump by dismissing an ambassador named Peter Mandelson, who had ties to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, ahead of Trump's visit.

CNN anchor Abby Phillip clashed with her GOP colleagues on Wednesday over the decision to suspend "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on network television.

Phillip discussed the move with former Republican Governor of Wisconsin Scott Walker and GOP strategist Scott Jennings. It occurred just hours after Nexstar Media Group, which owns several local ABC affiliates, announced that it is suspending Kimmel's show "indefinitely" because of comments the comedian made about conservative activist Charlie Kirk's slaying.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) lashed out at her GOP colleagues on Wednesday night after a resolution she filed to censure Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and strip Omar of her committee assignments failed to pass.

Mace filed the resolution a few days after Omar made comments about conservative activist Charlie Kirk's death in an interview with Mehdi Hasan of Zeteo News. In the interview, Omar called Kirk's death "tragic" and discussed reasons why she disagreed with some of Kirk's ideas.

The Wall Street Journal's conservative editorial board issued a stark warning to President Donald Trump on Wednesday after the Federal Reserve voted to lower interest rates by 0.25%.

The vote happened after Trump applied months of public pressure on the central bank to lower interest rates. The president has moved to install multiple new governors who would vote to reduce rates, with the newest Trump-aligned governor, Stephen Miran, joining the board this week.

President Donald Trump says he will designate Antifa as a "major terrorist organization" and threatened to investigate the organization's funders, according to a post on Truth Social.

"I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION," Trump wrote. "I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices."

MAGA firebrand Nick Fuentes on Wednesday slammed the latest conspiracy theory about conservative activist Charlie Kirk's death.

Fuentes spent part of his show, "America First with Nick J. Fuentes," on Wednesday discussing a theory being floated by MAGA influencer Candace Owens that Israel killed Kirk because he criticized the country. Owens has produced two long-form podcast episodes explaining her theory, and has suggested that Kirk's pastor, wealthy investor Bill Ackman, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu all played a role in Kirk's tragic death.

President Donald Trump's airstrikes against civilian boats in international waters are raising the alarm of lawyers who work within the Department of Defense.

According to the Wall Street Journal, "The concerns are around the justification for the strikes themselves, as well as the legal implications for the U.S. military personnel involved in the operations, the people said. Some defense officials and career military lawyers have provided written and verbal legal opinions to decision makers inside the Pentagon, but believe they are being ignored or deliberately sidelined, according to one of the people."

President Donald Trump weighed in on Nexstar Media Group's decision to pull "Jimmy Kimmel Live" off the air on Wednesday after the host made comments about the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk's assassination.

"Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "Kimmel has ZERO talent, and worse ratings than even Colbert, if that’s possible."

Britain appears to be strongly considering bringing back Dame Karen Pierce as its Ambassador to the United States, after she served in that post from March 2020 to February 2025, The Daily Beast reported Wednesday, in an article titled "Why Only a Dame Can Solve D.C.’s Other Epstein Crisis."

Peter Mandelson, the former ambassador, lost his job as King Charles’ representative in Washington last week after a note he wrote in Epstein’s “Birthday Book” was made public, where he praised Epstein’s hospitality (“one of his glorious homes … yum yum”), along with damaging emails published by Bloomberg.

Nexstar Media Group announced on Wednesday that it is pulling the ABC late-night show "Jimmy Kimmel Live" indefinitely after the comedian made remarks about conservative activist Charlie Kirk's killer, according to a press release.

“Mr. Kimmel’s comments about the death of Mr. Kirk are offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse, and we do not believe they reflect the spectrum of opinions, views, or values of the local communities in which we are located,” Andrew Alford, President of Nexstar’s broadcasting division, said in the release.

A high-profile economist warned on Wednesday afternoon that President Donald Trump's newest appointee to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors sent a "very worrying" signal during his first day on the job.

Justin Wolfers, an economics professor at the University of Michigan, joined CNN's Jake Tapper on "The Lead" to discuss the state of the U.S. economy. Wolfers' comments came just a few hours after the Federal Reserve announced it was going to lower interest rates by 0.25%.

MAGA influencer Benny Johnson melted down on Wednesday after former President Barack Obama talked about conservative activist Charlie Kirk's slaying during a speaking engagement.

Obama spoke at the Jefferson Educational Society of Erie's 17th Global Summit on Wednesday, where he was asked about the impact of Kirk's killing. He described the killing as "horrific and tragic" while also saying that it is appropriate for people to disagree with Kirk's ideas, even after his tragic death.
