A federal judge has dismissed Laura Loomer’s $150 million defamation lawsuit against comedian Bill Maher. The suit stemmed from a joke Maher made on his HBO show, suggesting Loomer was having a sexual relationship with Donald Trump. The judge ruled that no reasonable person would interpret Maher’s statement as a factual claim, given the context of a late-night comedy program. Loomer, who has a history of controversial statements and has been banned from various platforms, vowed to appeal the decision.

Despite claims of a decisive military victory and descriptions of Iran’s armed forces as “combat ineffective,” U.S. officials now acknowledge that the Islamic Republic retains significant military capabilities. Intelligence suggests that approximately half of Iran’s ballistic missile stockpile and launch systems remain intact, along with roughly 60% of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ naval arm, including fast-attack speedboats that have recently targeted commercial vessels. While Iran’s air power has been degraded, the majority of its air force is still believed to be operational, capable of posing a threat to regional forces.

President Donald Trump, in a Truth Social post, criticized the Supreme Court ahead of a ruling on birthright citizenship. He specifically targeted the three justices appointed by Democratic presidents, claiming they act as a unified bloc. Trump then singled out Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the court’s only Black female member, calling her a “new, Low IQ person.” He also expressed frustration that Republican appointees do not always align with his administration’s desires, citing a decision on import taxes. This marks a pattern of Trump using “low IQ” insults, particularly against Black women.

Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene asserts that Donald Trump actively blocked the release of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein last year, directly instructing then-Attorney General Pam Bondi not to release them. Greene claims Trump’s administration also pressured House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune to prevent any resolutions from passing that would declassify these files. Trump’s stated reasoning for this obstruction, according to Greene, was a concern that individuals would be harmed by the disclosures, even as he publicly downplayed the Epstein case as a “Democrat hoax.” Greene recounted Trump telling her personally that “my friends will get hurt” and “people you know, Marjorie, people at Mar-a-Lago. They’re going to get hurt.”

While the White House has denied the report’s accuracy, Democrats have intensified calls for his removal, citing other instances and referencing the process outlined in the 25th Amendment for deeming a president unable to discharge their duties.
