A New York Times reporter melted down during a segment on CNN on Wednesday during a discussion about President Donald Trump's war in Iran.

Lulu Garcia-Navarro, a reporter with the New York Times, said she is "completely flabbergasted" by the Trump administration's negotiations with the Iranian regime. Trump has recently rejected two offers to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global waterway that accounts for 20% of the world's energy trade, because the Iranian regime refused to give up its nuclear weapons. She was also taken aback by the seeming inability of Trump to predict that the war would turn from a military conflict to an asymmetrical war.

Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) is responding after a viral internet clip of her violently shaking during an interview with Fox News posted on Tuesday.

In Collins' explanation, it's a non-threatening medical condition she has lived with for decades.

The official X account for the U.S. Department of Education posted an overtly political image on Wednesday to mark Teacher Appreciation Week — depicting a beloved Nickelodeon cartoon character as a MAGA supporter.

"Teachers are dedicated," stated the account, showing a picture of Mrs. Puff, SpongeBob SquarePants' drivers' ed instructor, reading a giant red book labeled "MAGA."

A federal judge ruled on Wednesday that the Trump Department of Justice can keep the ballots it seized from the Fulton County election office in Georgia, according to reports.

U.S. District Judge Jean-Paul Boulee ruled that Fulton County's lawyers had not established that the Trump DOJ showed "callous disregard" for the county's rights, CBS News reported. Even so, he noted that the Trump DOJ's affidavit was "defective" in some instances and made "troubling" omissions about the voting mechanisms, according to the report.

Jesse Watters of Fox News instigated a full-blown shouting match on Wednesday after he told one of his Democratic colleagues that her party does not have any "standards of morality."

Watters sparked a clash with co-hosts Jessica Tarlov and Greg Gutfeld on "The Five" during a debate about why some people continue to support President Donald Trump despite his morally questionable actions. Tarlov claimed Trump is a "completely morally bankrupt person," which seemed to set off Watters and Gutfeld.

A GOP heavyweight tore into President Donald Trump in a new op-ed on Wednesday after he helped the Indiana GOP defeat itself.

On Tuesday, four of Indiana's high-profile GOP lawmakers lost their reelection bids to candidates endorsed by Trump. The endorsement followed months of pressure exerted by Trump on the Indiana state legislature to redraw its congressional election map to help the GOP preserve its majority after the 2026 midterm elections.

Another federal appeals court has ruled against President Donald Trump's Immigration and Customs Enforcement mass detention policy — putting further pressure on the Supreme Court to take up the matter.

A divided 2-1 three-judge panel of the 11th Circuit, with Trump-appointed Judge Barbara Lagoa being the lone dissenter, rejected the Trump administration's policy of mass denying bond to unauthorized immigrants arrested in the interior of the United States — which, the court noted, is supported by three decades of case law.

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito dropped a surprising hint about the court's actions during the Louisiana v. Callais case in his "frosty" response to a dissent written by one of his colleagues.

The Wall Street Journal's conservative editorial board noted on Tuesday that Alito included a footnote stating that the "constitutional question" the court was asked to decide in the case had been decided on Oct.15. The editorial board appeared to find that surprising, given that the court waited about six months to release its opinion.
