President Donald Trump is teasing what he calls an "interesting and irrefutable" news conference set for Thursday morning at the Pentagon with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Trump has repeatedly attacked CNN and The New York Times for reporting on a top-secret Defense Intelligence Agency assessment that said U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities did not "obliterate" Iran's nuclear program, as Trump bragged.

Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI) didn't hold back after MAGA firebrand Stephen Miller made an incendiary post about Zohran Mamdani after he won the Democratic primary for New York City's mayoral race.

Miller wrote on X that "NYC is the clearest warning yet of what happens to a society when it fails to control migration," suggesting that Mamdani's election was the result of changing demographics.

President Donald Trump fumed Wednesday afternoon in a lengthy social media screed blasting the ongoing criminal trial of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu.

A shocked Trump denounced Netanyahu's ongoing legal proceedings, which he characterized as a "witch hunt" and "politically motivated" case, echoing familiar refrains he used to describe his own cases before winning the election last year.

A new report suggests that President Donald Trump's administration sent National Guard troops in Los Angeles to assist the Drug Enforcement Administration in a law enforcement operation about 130 miles outside the city, in a move that experts say seems unlawful.

According to the report, around 315 National Guard troops were sent to the eastern Coachella Valley region to help the DEA search a local marijuana growing operation. The DEA asked the National Guard for assistance due to the “magnitude and topography” of the operation.

Democrats experienced a major setback Wednesday after the Wisconsin Supreme Court said it won't listen to their challenge seeking to throw out the battleground state’s congressional district boundaries before next year's midterm election.

The liberal-controlled court didn't explain its refusal, but The Associated Press and other journalists noted the decision represented a "setback" for Democrats who had hoped the court would allow them to redraw district boundary lines in their favor as they attempt to regain control of the House next year.

Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) and Fox News host Will Cain sparred Wednesday afternoon over whether President Donald Trump fulfilled his legal obligations before bombing three nuclear facilities in Iran.

Over the weekend, Trump sent congressional leaders a brief letter outlining his legal authority to approve the strikes under the War Powers Act. The letter does not mention any intelligence or evidence used to justify the strikes.

Russ Vought, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, got an earful on Wednesday afternoon from a senator who accused him of being disrespectful.

Vought was testifying before the Senate Appropriations Committee to discuss President Donald Trump's request to rescind more than $9 billion in previously appropriated funds for foreign aid, the State Department, and public media, including NPR and PBS.

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) alleged that President Donald Trump's administration got "caught lying" on Iran.

Speaking to MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace on Wednesday, the senator said that Trump's administration is now scrambling to explain why conflicting statements from Trump can both be true.

A federal judge on Wednesday denied the Trump administration's request to pause the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a migrant facing human smuggling charges — and who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador due to an “administrative error” — writing in their decision that the Department of Justice’s case for keeping Garcia incarcerated “defies logic.”

Garcia was arrested without trial and wrongly deported in March despite not having been charged with a crime. He was returned by President Donald Trump’s administration earlier this month under mounting pressure from federal courts. Upon his return, however, the DOJ announced he had been indicted on charges of human smuggling and conspiracy to unlawfully transport migrants for financial gain.

Experts slammed President Donald Trump's administration on Wednesday for detaining an Iranian woman who has lived in the United States for the last 47 years and has no criminal record.

Mandonna "Donna" Kashanian, 64, was detained by ICE agents on Sunday morning as she tended to her garden outside of her New Orleans home, NOLA.com reported. Kashanian was then taken to an ICE detention facility outside Basile, Louisiana, which is about 170 miles from New Orleans.

Faith leaders in Texas are pushing back against a new state law that requires a copy of the Ten Commandments to be posted in every public school classroom, The Associated Press reported.

The group includes faith leaders from the Christian and the Nation of Islam churches from the Dallas area. In a lawsuit filed Tuesday, the group argued that Texas's Senate Bill 10, which Gov. Greg Abbott signed Saturday, violates the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment.

President Donald Trump will reportedly limit intelligence sharing with Congress after a top-secret report leaked, indicating that the U.S. strike on Iran set back the country's nuclear program only months.

Axios reported that the Trump administration would share less intelligence through the CAPNET system after CNN and The New York Times published details of a Defense Intelligence Agency assessment on Iran.
