Trump howls at media outlets in late-night screed: 'Evil losers!'

President Donald Trump posted a late-night screed on Wednesday targeting media outlets like CNN and The New York Times for their coverage of the peace plan for the war in Iran.

Yesterday, Trump announced that the U.S. and Iran had agreed to a two-week ceasefire while they negotiated a potential peace plan. Both the New York Times and CNN reported on a 10-point peace plan that would allow Iran to collect a toll from ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz, require the U.S. to withdraw all of its troops, and potentially give Iran the ability to continue enriching uranium.

'Keep quiet!' Bill O'Reilly comes unglued after Chris Cuomo fact-checks him to his face

Former Fox News host Bill O'Reilly exploded at NewsNation host Chris Cuomo on Wednesday after Cuomo delivered a brutal fact-check on air.

The two men squabbled over recent comments from IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi about Iran's nuclear capabilities. Grossi recently reported that Iran had up to 60% enriched uranium, but that the IAEA was never able to go in and verify the claim. O'Reilly accused Cuomo of taking Grossi's comments out of context, and Cuomo fired back.

Alarm as Trump's DOJ clears path for him to destroy the admin's files

President Donald Trump's Department of Justice just gave him the power to destroy his administration's records if courts don't intervene, according to a new analysis.

David A. Graham, a staff writer at The Atlantic, wrote in a new newsletter article that an official memo from the DOJ's Office of Legal Counsel concluded that the Presidential Records Act is unconstitutional. The law was signed after the Nixon administration and requires presidential administrations to preserve documents related to their work and decision-making.

'What are you guys thinking?' Oil execs furious over Trump's surrender

President Donald Trump's apparent surrender on free passage in the Strait of Hormuz has earned him the rage of a new group: oil industry executives.

According to Politico, Big Oil officials "are reaching out to the White House, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President J.D. Vance to protest allowing Iran to charge tolls through the strategic Strait of Hormuz as a condition of peace talks, said one industry consultant granted anonymity to discuss relations with the administration."

WSJ editors ream Trump as he 'raises global fears and undermines support'

The conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board raked President Donald Trump over the coals Wednesday, for claiming victory over Iran when he has achieved no such thing.

"Mr. Trump and Vice President JD Vance said the cease-fire is conditioned on Iran’s striking a deal, but it sure sounds like the President wants the war over. 'A big day for World Peace! Iran wants it to happen, they’ve had enough! Likewise, so has everyone else!' he posted on Truth Social early Wednesday," wrote the board. "Will Mr. Trump really start bombing again if Iran draws out talks? Given the risks to oil prices, count us skeptical. This President can change his mind in a minute, but this sounds like the end of this round of hostilities."

MAGA darling roasts Trump's spiritual advisor after 'heretical' speech

MAGA darling Allie Beth Stuckey roasted President Donald Trump's spiritual advisor on a new episode of her podcast, "Relatable," on Wednesday.

Last week, Trump's spiritual advisor, Paula White-Cain, compared the president to Jesus Christ during a speech at an Easter celebration at the White House. Stuckey said White-Cain's comments were not only "anti-biblical" but were also "heretical" and could prevent Trump from receiving the true majesty of Christ in his heart.

Trump melts down at NATO as he blasts Greenland as a 'big, poorly run, piece of ice'

Donald Trump went after a decades-old U.S. military alliance on Wednesday in an all-caps Truth Social tirade, declaring NATO useless and taking a bizarre swipe at Greenland in the same breath.

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte reportedly met privately with Trump on Wednesday, with discussions expected to focus on reopening the Strait of Hormuz and smoothing over Trump's fury at the alliance for sitting out the Iran war, while the strait closure sent gas prices soaring. It wasn't immediately clear how the meeting went, but Trump didn't hold back his thoughts on social media.

Trump got $37M in foreign steel for his ballroom — then cut tariffs for donor: report

'Going to be a firing': Expert predicts another Trump Cabinet member is on his way out

President Donald Trump's Defense Secretary may be the next cabinet member to depart the administration, even though he just declared "victory" over Iran, according to one expert.

Secretary Pete Hegseth said during a press conference on Wednesday that the U.S. had achieved a “decisive military victory” over Iran. That's despite multiple reports indicating that Iran has continued to strike U.S. allies in the region, and the Strait of Hormuz remains shut. Meanwhile, details of an agreement allegedly struck between the two countries appear to show the U.S. losing influence over Iran. For instance, the White House has considered lifting all sanctions on Iranian oil and removing all U.S. troops from the country, according to reports.

'Are they terrified?' Analyst reveals major problem facing GOP after special election

A veteran GOP analyst flagged the "biggest concern" for the Republican Party following Tuesday's special election in Georgia during a new interview on CNN.

Ashley Davis, a former official in George W. Bush's Department of Homeland Security, joined Jake Tapper on CNN's "The Lead," where the panel discussed how Republicans should view the outcome of the special election. Republican Clay Fuller defeated Democrat Shawn Harris for the seat left vacant after former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene retired from Congress. But Fuller's margin of victory was less than half of the 37-point margin President Donald Trump had in the district during the 2024 election.
