Guilfoyle out as ambassador to Greece. Kimberly Guilfoyle resigned as U.S. ambassador to Greece on Tuesday after the Trump administration asked her to leave, following Wall Street Journal reports of improper and possibly illegal conduct — including allegations that she offered access in exchange for a donor paying a large credit card bill and threatened a Greek official. New White House press secretary Katie Zacharia confirmed the departure at her first briefing. Guilfoyle denies the allegations and says she will "vigorously defend" her name; the State Department's inspector general is reportedly reviewing the matter.

DOJ gives California a 48-hour ballot ultimatum. In a letter to Secretary of State Shirley Weber, acting Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter gave California 48 hours to review a federal list of people the government believes are noncitizens who were sent mail ballots. For anyone whose citizenship can't be verified, the state must have counties set aside their ballots, or the Justice Department says it will seek emergency court relief. A similar letter went to Los Angeles County; Weber has previously voiced "serious doubts" about the reliability of federal data.

Supreme Court takes up DOGE records fight. The Supreme Court agreed to hear the Trump administration's appeal in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit brought by the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) seeking records from Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency. Lower courts sided with CREW, which argues DOGE is a federal agency subject to FOIA; the administration says it is a presidential advisory body shielded from disclosure.

Paxton Dubai video rocks Texas Senate race. The Wall Street Journal published video showing Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, the Republican Senate nominee, at a New Year's Eve party in Dubai alongside Anosh Ahmed and Sameer Suhail — two healthcare executives indicted on federal fraud charges in 2024 who have not returned to the U.S. Democratic opponent James Talarico seized on the report as the race enters its final weeks.

Measles toll climbs in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania reported its sixth measles-associated death of 2026: a 39-year-old Franklin County woman with underlying conditions who died Oct. 10. The state has logged more than 1,000 cases this year, while the CDC counts 4,080 confirmed cases nationwide as of Oct. 9 — the highest level in decades.

Judge extends press-pass order. A federal judge extended his order restoring White House "hard pass" credentials for reporters from CNN, MS NOW and POLITICO, saying the cancellation of passes for nearly 80 journalists likely violated due process and amounted to likely First Amendment retaliation and viewpoint discrimination.
