President Donald Trump lashed out at the leader of Indiana's Senate in a new social media post on Wednesday for holding up his election scheme to win the 2026 midterms.

Trump called out Indiana Senate Pro Tempore Rod Bray, a Republican, in a Truth Social post over his resistance to Trump's redistricting plan. Trump claimed in the post that other Republican-controlled legislatures have gone along with the redistricting efforts "willingly, openly, and easily."

Democratic Party leaders are rebuffing efforts by their colleagues to impeach multiple cabinet officials in President Donald Trump's administration, according to a new report.

On Wednesday, Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) introduced articles of impeachment against Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. without the support of party leadership, Axios reported, citing "two senior House Democrats and two leadership aides familiar with the matter."

Fox News' liberal co-host Jessica Tarlov teed off on President Donald Trump's speech on affordability during Wednesday's broadcast of "The Five."

Trump traveled to Monroe County, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday to give a speech about the rising cost of living and what his administration is doing to help average Americans. During the speech, Trump weaved through multiple other topics ranging from immigration to how well his Cabinet secretaries are performing.

Political analysts dragged President Donald Trump's Department of Justice on Wednesday after it moved to drop a corruption case against a former Fox executive who was convicted of bribery and money laundering charges.

The DOJ moved to drop its conviction of Hernán López, a former Fox executive who oversaw the network's Latin American sports broadcasting business, who had been convicted of multiple crimes related to the FIFA corruption investigation that began in 2010. López was involved in a scheme to funnel millions of dollars to the heads of the international soccer organization in exchange for the rights to broadcast the World Cup and multiple high-profile tournaments in South America. He was convicted alongside a marketing company he worked with, Full Play Sports, in 2023, The New York Times reported.

Longtime Republican pollster turned anti-Trump analyst Sarah Longwell had a blunt message for President Donald Trump on MS NOW Wednesday: your denials of the affordability crisis, such as your speech in Pennsylvania this week, are not landing with voters.

"When he just, you know, politically wet the bed and said you don't need any dolls or pencils — I mean, what do you, I guess we just hope that [White House Chief of Staff] Susie Wiles is right and Donald Trump is out there on the ballot in the midterms," said anchor Nicolle Wallace.

The MAGA movement appeared to split on Wednesday night after the House of Representatives voted to pass the National Defense Authorization Act, a more than $900 billion military spending package.

The NDAA is one of the largest single-spending bills Congress passes each session. The latest version of the bill includes a provision that allocates around $800 million to Ukraine's war against Russia and language that could force the Department of Defense to release the video of a hotly-contested strike against an alleged drug boat on Sept. 2.

President Donald Trump's administration received a rare rebuke on Wednesday from an air safety official over a provision tucked away in the annual defense spending bill.

Jennifer Homendy, chairwoman of the National Transportation Safety Board, spoke at a press conference on Wednesday about Section 373 of the National Defense Authorization Act, a more than $900 billion spending package that recently passed the House of Representatives.

President Donald Trump's cognitive decline was on full display this week, longtime Beltway reporter John Heilemann told MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace on "Deadline: White House" — and it's obvious when you compare his demeanor to a few years ago.

"You know, look, they asked him the other day on the airplane, on Air Force One, why he took an MRI, and he said he didn't know," said Heilemann. "If getting the camera-person-TV thing right is acing it, not knowing why you took an MRI is flunking it. I'm not sure what to make of any of those things, but it's totally clear and has been for some time."

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has apparently come up with a new pet name for the relationship between the United States and China, and its name is raising the eyebrows of at least one Democrat, according to a new report.

The Hill reported on Wednesday that Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) had sent a letter to Hegseth regarding his use of "G2" to describe U.S.-China relations. Krishnamoorthi argued that the nickname for the relationship “carries deeply problematic connotations of depicting the United States and [China] as co-equal and primarily cooperate powers responsible for deciding global issues while sidelining U.S. democratic allies and partners," according to the report.

CNN's Jake Tapper mocked President Donald Trump's off-script speech about affordability from Tuesday, calling it a "wild weave" that seemed to show the president doesn't understand why so many Americans are concerned about the cost of living.

Trump spoke to an audience in Monroe County, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday, a blue-collar swing district in the northeastern part of the state. The speech was billed to be about affordability, but Trump told the audience he was going to "weave" through other topics, as he often does.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was roundly mocked by political analysts and observers on Wednesday after it was revealed that her agency is spending $140 million to buy new airplanes for its deportation operations.

The Washington Post first reported on Wednesday that DHS has signed a $140 million contract with a company called Daedalus Aviation, which was formed in August 2024, to purchase six Boeing 737 airplanes that a Trump administration official told the outlet will allow immigration agents to "operate more effectively, including by using more efficient flight patterns."
