Bannon rips Levin after ‘POS' remark
Former White House aide and commentator Steve Bannon ripped into Fox News host Mark Levin this week as the two continue to trade barbs over the U.S. military's involvement in the conflict between Israel and Iran.
'Boy, Tel Aviv Levin's big mad,' Bannon said of Levin during an episode of his popular 'War Room' podcast. 'He's big mad as a spokesmodel for a foreign nation that didn't get them what they want.'
The MAGA firebrand was referring to a social media post by Levin earlier this week that called Bannon 'a disgusting fraud,' over his time serving as a top aide to President Trump.
'You opposed our great military and commander in chief at a time when they acted to destroy Iran's nukes,' Levin wrote on social platform X, referring to the former Trump advisor.
'You and your tiny cabal of lunatics gave aide and comfort to the enemy,' he continued in the post. 'Now you prance around like you support our country rather than apologize for your outrageous disloyalty.'
Levin is a leading voice on the right advocating for stronger military action against Iran and has used his weekend Fox News show to urge Trump to intervene in the conflict.
Bannon, along with former Fox pundit Tucker Carlson, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R) and others on the right, have argued a more isolationist point of view, warning so-called 'neo-cons' are trying to drag the U.S. into another Middle East war.
Trump over the weekend authorized the U.S. military to launch strikes on three nuclear facilities near Tehran. Support among the president's allies has been largely split over the move, but Bannon signaled earlier this month that most would 'get on board' if the U.S. did intervene.

Judge rejects another Trump executive order targeting the legal community
WASHINGTON -- A federal judge on Friday struck down another of President Donald Trump's executive orders targeting law firms. U.S. District Judge Loren AliKhan ruled that the order against the firm of Susman Godfrey was unconstitutional and must be permanently blocked. The order was the latest ruling to reject Trump's efforts to punish law firms for legal work he does not like and for employing attorneys he perceives as his adversaries. Susman Godfrey suggested that it had drawn Trump's ire at least in part because it represented Dominion Voting Systems in the voting machine company's defamation lawsuit against Fox News over false claims surrounding the 2020 presidential election. The suit ended in a massive settlement. Other judges in recent weeks have blocked similar orders against the firms of Jenner & Block, Perkins Coie and WilmerHale. The orders have sought to impose similar sanctions, including the suspension of security clearances of attorneys and the restriction of access to federal buildings. 'The order was one in a series attacking firms that had taken positions with which President Trump disagreed. In the ensuing months, every court to have considered a challenge to one of these orders has found grave constitutional violations and permanently enjoined enforcement of the order in full," AliKhan wrote. 'Today, this court follows suit, concluding that the order targeting Susman violates the U.S. Constitution and must be permanently enjoined.' In a statement, the firm called the ruling 'a resounding victory for the rule of law and the right of every American to be represented by legal counsel without fear of retaliation.' 'We applaud the Court for declaring the administration's order unconstitutional. Our firm is committed to the rule of law and to protecting the rights of our clients without regard to their political or other beliefs. Susman Godfrey's lawyers and staff live these values every day,' the statement said. Other major firms have sought to avert orders by preemptively reaching settlements that require them, among other things, to collectively dedicate hundreds of millions of dollars in free legal services in support of causes the Trump administration says it supports.

Stefanik fires back at ‘worst governor in America' after Hochul jabs on Medicaid cuts
Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., a key Trump ally who is rumored to be planning a gubernatorial run in 2026, hit back hard against New York Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul, calling her the 'worst governor in America' after the Democrat dinged her over Medicaid cuts. In a Friday post on social media, Hochul accused Stefanik of voting 'to put five hospitals in her district on the chopping block, endangering her own constituents' lives, health, and jobs—all to serve Donald Trump.' 'I won't stand for it. I'm fighting like hell to save New Yorkers' health care,' said Hochul. In response, Stefanik posted on X, 'Hi @KathyHochul! Welcome to the fight.' 'You didn't get exposed enough during our last round when you testified and were totally exposed for your dangerous and failed sanctuary state policies ?? Let's do Medicaid now,' she wrote. Stefanik slammed Hochul for giving Medicaid benefits to illegal immigrants, 'putting New Yorkers most vulnerable LAST.' 3 Rep. Elise Stefanik is rumored to be planning a gubernatorial run in 2026 and called out Gov. Kathy Hochul as the 'worst governor in America.' FOX News 'NY's Medicaid program is rampant with tens of billions of waste, fraud, and abuse under Kathy's watch,' she wrote. 'Kathy Hochul, the Worst Governor in America oversees the worst run Medicaid program in the country harming NYers. Medicaid is an incredibly important program that I have worked to strengthen for New Yorkers.' 3 On X, Stefanik said, 'Hi @KathyHochul! Welcome to the fight.' FOX News The New York congresswoman then added, 'Oh and Kathy, your numbers in rural NY are plummeting' and 'I have been nationally recognized as the TOP advocate to deliver results for rural hospitals due to my work for hospitals in my district.' In another post, Stefanik said, 'Oh Kathy. I'm glad I set your schedule these days – from setting your Tweet schedule by forcing you to tweet on the Communist Mayor who just won in your Democrat Party in NYC. To you now scrambling to go to Saranac Lake because of news articles. When I have an announcement to make, believe me you'll know.' This comes after Stefanik pressured Hochul to say whether she supported the new Democratic nominee for New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani, who has made controversial statements criticizing Israel and promoting Palestine and who identifies as a Democratic Socialist. 3 Stefanik called out Hochul on social media for closing hospitals in her district, while she also criticized her policy of giving illegal immigrants Medicaid benefits. Christopher Sadowski Hochul has since said she plans to meet with Mamdani to discuss his ideas for the city but has not yet issued a full endorsement. Stefanik has said that as the leader of the New York Democratic Party, Hochul 'fully embraced the antisemitic, Communist nominee,' adding, 'she owns this catastrophe.' Earlier this month, Stefanik told a Republican crowd in Staten Island she was 'strongly considering' entering the race for governor. She unveiled a new state political action committee, Save New York, which appears aimed at further cementing her status as a heavyweight in Empire State GOP politics.
