Political analysts and observers were floored on Wednesday after the Trump Pentagon released an eye-popping estimated cost for the supplies it needs to fight the Iran war.

The Pentagon said it would need about $200 billion in supplies for the war in Iran, according to The Washington Post. The request is so large that some people in Trump World have a hard time seeing it passing Congress, the report added.

President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Wednesday to demand the release of convicted Colorado election official Tina Peters — while apparently not knowing that governors don't sentence people to prison.

"FREE TINA PETERS, A 73-YEAR-OLD WOMAN, WITH CANCER, GIVEN A NINE YEAR DEATH SENTENCE IN A COLORADO PRISON BY A DEMOCRAT GOVERNOR, JARED POLIS, AND A CORRUPT POLITICAL MACHINE, FOR EXPOSING FRAUD BY THE DEMOCRATS DURING THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION," Trump wrote in all caps on his social media platform.

One of President Donald Trump's top aides was brutally mocked on Wednesday after he seemed to be "having a hard time" during an interview on Fox News.

White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller joined Fox News host Laura Ingraham on her show, "The Ingraham Angle," to discuss the ongoing war in Iran and U.S. efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to its trade ships. The Iranian regime has effectively blockaded the Strait for more than a week in response to the coordinated bombing campaign conducted by the U.S. and Israel, which has contributed to the significant increase in energy prices.

Attorney Alan Dershowitz told NBC News on Wednesday that he is lobbying President Donald Trump directly for a pardon of a multi-million-dollar sex-focused women's wellness company.

The company is called OneTaste, which teaches its customers the practice of "orgasmic meditation," also known as OM. The company's founder, Nicole Daedone, and former executive, Rachel Cherwitz, were recently convicted of running a "forced labor conspiracy," according to the report. The two women face up to 20 years in prison when they are sentenced on March 30, it added.

House Democrats raged at the GOP's "fake" deposition of Attorney General Pam Bondi on Wednesday after they stormed out of the closed-door hearing.

Bondi testified before the House Oversight Committee about the Department of Justice's efforts to comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, a law Congress passed last year that required the DOJ to release all files in its possession by December 2025. So far, the DOJ has released about half of the files in its possession, according to estimates. The files that have been released have been subject to significant scrutiny for redacting or obfuscating the information of Epstein's co-conspirators.

President Donald Trump's White House raged at a MAGA lawmaker on Wednesday because of her efforts to organize rescue missions for Americans stuck in the Middle East following Trump's decision to bomb Iran last month.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), who was one of Trump's most fervent supporters until the administration's mishandling of the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, has been unilaterally organizing rescue missions in the Middle East without the White House's approval, The Guardian reported. One mission in particular that has caught the White House's ire is Mace's outreach to Saudi Arabia to get a jet to transport 300 people out of the region.

A former official in President Donald Trump's first administration said the quiet part out loud on Wednesday about the administration's support for Christian nationalist movements.

William Wolfe, a radical Christian pastor, gave a speech at Bethel Church in Petersburg, West Virginia, where he admitted that the aim of Christian nationalist movements is to impose their faith on everyone else, according to a report by Right Wing Watch. The outlet described Wolfe as a "fanatical anti-immigrant activist."

The House Ethics Committee blocked a Democratic lawmaker's desperate attempt to kill a campaign finance investigation on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, the committee met to consider a motion from Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL) to stay the committee's investigation while she fights a criminal proceeding over the same charges. She also asked the committee to hold any future meetings with her team in executive session, which would prevent the public from viewing the meeting or reading any meeting minutes.

President Donald Trump caught heat from political analysts and observers on Wednesday after the latest economic data showed the "worst of all worlds" has arrived.

Financial experts on CNBC noted that the latest inflation data that was released on Wednesday came in much hotter than expected. Producer prices climbed by 0.7% over the last year compared to the estimated growth of 0.3%. The Bureau of Labor Statistics noted that energy prices, which have advanced 13.9% compared to February, were a major contributor to the rise in producer prices.

US President Donald Trump launched TrumpRx last month with a bold promise to the American public: “dramatically lower prices on dozens of common, high-cost, brand-name prescription drugs.”

But an analysis released Tuesday by the Center for American Progress (CAP) found that of the 54 medications listed on TrumpRx.gov as of March 16, “exactly one” drug—the fertility medication Cetrotide—is available at a “genuinely new lower price” not available elsewhere.

MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace blasted a member of President Donald Trump's administration for her "shapeshifting" comments about the war in Iran on Wednesday.

The Trump administration has often claimed that its decision to bomb Iran in coordination with Israel last month was made because Iran's nuclear program posed an "imminent threat" to the United States. That explanation stands in stark contrast to Trump's claim that another bombing campaign the U.S. conducted in Iran last year had "completely obliterated" the country's nuclear capabilities.
