President Donald Trump faces an inherent "problem" in his administration that "magnifies the risk" of failure in Iran, according to a former administration insider.

Early Saturday morning, U.S. and Israeli forces conducted a coordinated bombing campaign across more than 100 sites in Iran. The move set off a geopolitical frenzy, with Iran firing retaliatory strikes at several neighboring countries as well as at the U.S. embassy in Kuwait, which killed six Americans over the weekend.

A legal expert flagged what she described as "flat-out voter suppression" that took place during the Texas primary election.

The election featured multiple high-profile races, like the Texas Senate race between Democrats Rep. Jasmie Crockett and state Rep. James Talarico, and Republicans Sen. John Cornyn and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. It was the first election under the state's new election laws, which changed the designated polling places for many voters.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's latest remarks about the war in Iran paint an "unsettling" picture of his leadership, according to one expert.

On Wednesday, Hegseth was asked during a press briefing about an Iranian drone that struck the U.S. embassy in Kuwait, killing six Americans over the weekend. Hegseth dismissed the question by saying "tragic things happen" before launching into a tirade about how the "fake news" media covers the Trump administration.

Insiders revealed to Middle East Eye on Wednesday that two of the Trump administration's top cabinet members are "at each other's throats" over the recent bombing campaign in Iran.

According to the report, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have been described as being “at each other's throats” over whether to send U.S. troops to Iran. The report was published at a time when the White House had said putting troops on the ground in Iran is "not part of the plan" for now, although it has signaled that it plans to stay in the fight until the U.S. achieves its objectives.

A MAGA Republican candidate for Florida governor claimed on Wednesday that he had been "criminally trespassed" by Waffle House after a series of campaign stops.

James Fishback, a MAGA firebrand who is running for governor, posted a statement on X that claimed Waffle House had revoked his campaign's "explicit" permission to visit their restaurants and meet voters. Fishback also claimed that Waffle House corporate had "criminally trespassed" him from all of their restaurants in Florida.

Another GOP lawmaker is calling it quits in November, according to multiple reports.

Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) officially withdrew his paperwork to run for another term on Wednesday, NBC Montana reported. Daines was first elected to the Senate in 2015 and has been a staunch ally of President Donald Trump's.

A veteran court watcher warned on Wednesday that the Supreme Court is about to "gravely disappoint" Americans.

Former Solicitor General of the United States Donald B. Verrilli Jr. discussed the Supreme Court's recent ruling in the tariffs case on a new episode of the "Amicus" podcast with Dahlia Lithwick. He argued that the case provided temporary relief for those concerned that the court was about to sign away a wholesale transfer of power from Congress to the presidency. Even so, there are still some outstanding issues that should give Americans reasons for concern, he argued.

CNN's Jake Tapper scolded a pair of Trump administration cronies on Wednesday for their "offensive" comments.

On Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told CNN's Kaitlan Collins that the White House believes the network's coverage of U.S. soldiers who died in the aftermath of the U.S. attack on Iran is "trying to make the president look bad." Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth made similar comments earlier in the day.

A federal court is kicking off the process that could force President Donald Trump's administration to start refunding tariff payments.

According to Bloomberg News, "In an order on Wednesday, Judge Richard Eaton, who sits on the federal trade court in New York, ordered Customs and Border Protection to stop calculating President Donald Trump’s emergency tariffs on importers’ customs paperwork. He also questioned why the government was continuing to do so after the Supreme Court ruled the tariffs illegal. Eaton also ordered officials to recalculate certain duties that had passed that step of the customs process, removing Trump’s contested tariffs."

President Donald Trump just gave Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem a big "vote of no confidence," according to one GOP senator.

Noem sat for two days of questioning in the House and Senate this week, and faced considerable criticism for her handling of Trump's deportation operations and other misdeeds at DHS. But there was one moment where Noem revealed that the president has lost faith in her leadership, Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) said on Wednesday.

Political analysts and observers roasted President Donald Trump on Wednesday after he went on another "insane lying" spree about his war in Iran.

Trump was asked during a roundtable at the White House about his reasons for striking Iran in coordination with Israeli forces over the weekend. The president and his administration have offered shifting rationales for the strikes, ranging from Iran posing an imminent threat to the U.S. to the country's continued enrichment of uranium, which is required to make a nuclear weapon.
