Shermichael Singleton, a GOP strategist, was a panelist on CNN's "NewsNight" with Abby Phillip, where the panel got into a heated debate about President Donald Trump's actions to thwart federal diversity initiatives.

This week, a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to return a long-standing slavery exhibit to a museum in Pennsylvania after administration officials removed it last month.

Throughout the second Trump administration, FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr has sought to enforce the agency's equal time rule, which has gotten several left-leaning shows in hot water with the agency.

Mary Moriarty, the Hennepin County, Minnesota, prosecutor, discussed the latest development on the investigation into the killing of Alex Pretti and Renee Good during the Trump administration's "Operation Metro Surge" on a new episode of "All Rise News" with Adam Klasfeld. Last week, the FBI sent a formal letter to local authorities notifying them that they will not be sharing evidence collected during the investigation, a move Moriarty said "wasn't a surprise."

Vice President JD Vance is having an "unnerving" impact on US allies, and some of them "freeze like a deer in headlights" when he's brought up in conversation, according to a report.

Vance's name has been tossed around as the eventual heir to the MAGA throne once the second Trump administration ends in 2028. While some allies see Vance as a more predictable policymaker than Trump, others are growing concerned that he may throw a wrench into global affairs because he lacks sufficient knowledge of the world and is willing to put ideology over reality, Politico reported.

A group of criminal defense attorneys has launched a war against the Trump Department of Justice's "abnormal behavior," according to a report.

A federal judge held a lawyer from President Donald Trump's Department of Justice in contempt on Wednesday for failing to return a detainee's identification paperwork after the detainee was released from immigration custody, according to a report.

Judge Laura Provinzino of the District Court of Minnesota held Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Matt Isihara in civil contempt for failing to return the documents. Beginning on Friday, Isihara will be responsible for paying a $500 for every day the plaintiff is not in receipt of his ID documents, according to the order.

Political analysts were aghast on Wednesday after ProPublica published a "soul-crushing" report about 911 calls made by people detained in an Immigration and Customs Enforcement center in Texas.

A group in Colorado has proposed a new election map that could give Democrats a 7-1 advantage in the House of Representatives, according to a Denver Post report.

Colorado's current Congressional delegation includes four Democrats and four Republicans. The proposed map could make three Republican-leaning districts currently occupied by Reps. Gabe Evans (R-CO), Jeff Hurd (R-CO), and Jeff Crank (R-CO) are more competitive for Democrats.

One of President Donald Trump's old warnings about Iran resurfaced on Wednesday as reports indicate that he is pondering war with the country.

A neuroscientist revealed the "horrific dangers" of President Donald Trump's mental decline during a podcast interview on Wednesday.

Dr. Frank George, a neuroscientist and psychologist, joined political commentator David Pakman on "The David Pakman Show" to discuss Trump's mental state. George revealed that Trump is becoming more disinhibited, which is a sign that his dementia is becoming worse and that he will soon have "no guardrails" for his malignant narcissism.
