A former official in President Donald Trump's first administration lost it during a panel discussion on CNN's "NewsNight" after a Democratic analyst raised Trump's threat to send Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to polling places for the midterm elections.

Ken Cuccinelli, Trump's former acting deputy secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, lost his cool as Democratic analyst Adam Mockler questioned his argument that Trump is just "pulling your chain" by threatening to send ICE to polling places. Cuccinelli said that it has been illegal since the Reconstruction Era for federal agents to show up at polling places with weapons.

Republicans in Congress are fretting that President Donald Trump has given them "nowhere to go" in negotiations over funding the Department of Homeland Security.

Emily Gregory won the Florida House District 87 race against Trump-endorsed Republican Jon Maples by roughly 700 votes.

The plan includes Iran agreeing to stop enriching uranium, close three nuclear facilities, and allow a "free trade zone" in the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran may seize total control of in the deal, Kinzinger said.

President Donald Trump was caught in the crossfire on Fox News between Jessica Tarlov and Jesse Watters on "The Five" about the war in Iran.

Tarlov claimed that Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have told the American public "completely backwards" stories about how the war is progressing and the administration's goals for ending it. For instance, Trump has claimed that victory in Iran means an "unconditional surrender" by the Iranian regime. Hegseth has claimed the goals are to destroy the country's nuclear weapons infrastructure.

A jury in New Mexico found Meta Platforms, which owns Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram, liable for harming children and ordered the company to pay an eye-popping $375 million fine, according to a new report.

The ruling concludes more than six weeks of testimony from company representatives and officials from New Mexico. Officials claimed that internal documents proved Meta was targeting young children with harmful content to keep children on their apps longer, which in turn boosted company revenue.
