Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) is leading the charge to warn President Donald Trump that his threats against Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, which have brewed for weeks, would be a disaster, CNN's Phil Mattingly reported on Wednesday.

"Turning back to what Trump said today, that it's highly unlikely that he will fire Powell. That's a direct contrast with what you're reporting," said anchor Jake Tapper.

President Donald Trump's wealthiest supporter, Elon Musk, unleashed a posting spree on X about the files around the federal investigation into sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

It was only a month ago that Musk had his falling out with Trump, where he alleged that the president is in the files.

CNN host Jake Tapper was shocked at President Donald Trump's new claims regarding Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.

On Wednesday, Trump told reporters that Powell is a "terrible Fed chair" and that he is "surprised [Powell] was appointed." Those comments didn't sit well with Tapper, who responded to them on his daily show, "The Lead With Jake Tapper."

U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem has a blunt message for undocumented farmworkers: “Go home.” She’s urging farmers to assist in the process — by helping those workers “self-deport.”

“I would encourage everybody,” Secretary Noem said on Wednesday, “if people are here in this country illegally, go home.”

President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he's been at work trying to get high fructose corn syrup out of Coca-Cola-branded drinks. Instead, Trump claimed he convinced the company to move to cane sugar instead.

The Cleveland Clinic and other reputable sources have warned that excess intake of high fructose corn syrup and sugar should be avoided. Consuming high fructose corn syrup spurs a reaction that encourages the liver to create more fat, an article on the Clinic's website said.

Fox News personality Rachel Campos-Duffy rejected the notion that America is a “nation of immigrants” Wednesday in a rant aimed at opponents to President Donald Trump’s deportation policy, proclaiming the country to, in actuality, be a “nation of settlers.”

“This is the question about why the left continues to side with illegals over Americans who have been so obviously hurt by this open border illegal immigration problem that was just compounded by Joe Biden: the real question is about who we are as Americans,” Campos-Duffy said, speaking on "The Will Cain Show."

Former Illinois Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger had a lot to say Wednesday about how the fallout of the Jeffrey Epstein files has impacted President Donald Trump's administration.

The Epstein files have become one of Trump's biggest political liabilities over the last week. His MAGA base erupted with anger after Trump's Department of Justice issued a memo contradicting essential parts of the Epstein narrative. The memo said Epstein died by suicide in jail and that he did not keep a list of clients. Both of these points are at odds with the narrative that Trump and his surrogates have been telling the MAGA faithful for years.

Judge Waverly D. Crenshaw Jr. presided over the Kilmar Ábrego García bail hearing on Wednesday and indicated that the Justice Department struggled to reach the high standard required to declare him a danger to the community.

"Obviously, the court is going to look at the issues...I'm having a hard time understanding your argument that there is by clear and convincing evidence no conditions that could control the danger posed by the defendant...that's a pretty high standard," said Crenshaw, according to Lawfare's Anna Bower, reporting from the Nashville, Tennessee, courthouse.

A conservative Supreme Court Justice put a pause on a lower court ruling that would have blocked people in some states from suing over voter discrimination based on race.

The Washington Post reported Wednesday that Brett Kavanaugh issued an administrative stay as part of an appeal from Native American tribes in North Dakota who allege the previous ruling "endangers a powerful tool to ensure equitable voting laws."

President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis could soon clash in a proxy war over a recent DeSantis appointment, a White House official hinted Wednesday.

For the position of Florida chief financial officer, DeSantis announced Wednesday morning that he tapped Florida Sen. Blaise Ingoglia, a longtime ally of DeSantis, much to the chagrin of the White House and Trump’s preferred pick of Sen. Joe Gruters, who has sometimes clashed with DeSantis.
