Chief Justice John Roberts revealed a surprising anecdote during a C-SPAN discussion Wednesday about the challenges of being a public figure – and admitted he spent an entire evening pretending to be ex-House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH).

The comments came Wednesday during a lighter moment as Roberts was asked by U.S. District Judge Lawrence Vilardo how he balanced the high-profile nature of his job with a desire for privacy. Roberts downplayed his recognizability – and offered a story to prove it.

Chief Justice John Roberts took a thinly veiled shot at President Donald Trump during an interview Wednesday, and his remarks stunned CNN anchor Erin Burnett, who noted, "he knows the weight of every word."

Burnett told Senior White House Correspondent Kristen Holmes she had just heard new comments from the Supreme Court's chief justice.

President Donald Trump faced immediate backlash Wednesday after announcing he would nominate wellness influencer Dr. Casey Means to serve as the country’s next surgeon general following the withdrawal of his original pick, Dr. Jeanette Nesheiwat, a former Fox News contributor.

Means is a Stanford-educated physician who dropped out of her surgical residency program before co-founding Levels, a digital health startup focused on metabolic health, The New York Times reported. She has frequently challenged mainstream medical institutions and has aligned herself with wellness and alternative health movements.

A federal judge appeared stunned during a hearing Wednesday as a Justice Department attorney all but conceded that the Trump administration violated the rights of migrants it deported under the Alien Enemies Act to a notorious prison in El Salvador.

“Agree they got no due process?” U.S. District Judge James Boasberg asked DOJ attorneys, according to a thread from Lawfare's Roger Parloff on Bluesky,

Pro-Trump CNN commentator Scott Jennings raged against the actors who plan to boycott the "Les Misérables" production at the Kennedy Center when President Donald Trump shows up to attend the performance.

This comes as Trump attempts to reshape the iconic performing arts center in his own image, with the result that ticket sales have crashed and big productions are pulling out. The Kennedy Center's finances have declined so much that Trump allies are even discussing requiring Paramount to divert a portion of any potential settlement payout from Trump's lawsuit against CBS News to support it.

MSNBC host Jen Psaki is urging Democrats to reclaim the meaning of patriotism from MAGA Republicans, who she warned are using national symbols as political theater, while ignoring those who actually serve the country.

Psaki, in an op-ed published Wednesday, took aim at what she called “performative patriotism” from President Donald Trump and GOP leaders. She said the time has come “for Democrats to call out Trump.”

The Justice Department appeared in court on Wednesday to address the habeas case challenging the Alien Enemies Act, the law used by President Donald Trump to deport migrants to a prison in El Salvador.

President Donald Trump is preparing to go to war with the pharmaceutical industry as the White House plans to unveil a sweeping plan to slash Medicare drug prices by linking them to lower costs abroad, according to a new report in Politico.

Trump is expected to sign an executive order early next week directing his aids to pursue the “most favored nation” policy for a selection of drugs tied to the Medicare program,” the publication reported. The initiative “would use the administration’s authorities to force prices down.”

University of Michigan Economics Professor Justin Wolfers warned that things are going to be a lot worse than Americans understand as a result of President Donald Trump's tariffs.

Speaking to MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace on Wednesday, Wolfers said the best thing that could happen is that Trump would "back off" his trade war.

U.S. District Court Judge Brian E. Murphy clarified this week that President Donald Trump's administration "would clearly violate" his order if it follows through with a reported plan to send migrants to Libya.

U.S. officials confirmed to multiple outlets that migrants without legal status were on track to be deported to the war-torn country. According to CNN, flight plans were scheduled for Wednesday.

Democratic influencer Harry Sisson found himself in the hot seat during an exchange on “Piers Morgan Uncensored” when the host refused to conclude the interview without asking the Gen Z political commentator about a recent controversy involving alleged inappropriate behavior on Snapchat.

“I can’t let you go without asking you something. It’s a little delicate,” Piers Morgan said as he referenced reports that began circulating in March that accused Sisson of luring several women into sending explicit photos. “Is that true?” Morgan asked.

When a small contingent of Republicans blocked President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful" reconciliation bill on taxes, energy, and the border from including the right's long-sought elimination of funding for Planned Parenthood, Trump had no idea this was going on — until a reporter brought it to his attention on Wednesday afternoon.

After National Review reporter Audrey Fahlberg asked Trump to comment on the likely removal of Planned Parenthood cuts from the bill, the president replied, "I don't know yet. I have to see because you just told me that for the first time, we'll work something out."
