President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks aren’t the only cast of characters that will be heading to Washington in his new administration with the potential for drama.

Their spouses will follow, according to a new report, which profiled more than a dozen spouses of high-level Trump appointees who are also likely to turn heads in D.C. And notably, that list includes TV producer Jennifer Rachet, who is married to Pete Hegseth, intimacy expert Lisa Oz – wife of Dr. Mehmet Oz – and actress and director Cheryl Hines, who is married to Robert F. Kennedy Jr, according to the Daily Mail.

Donald Trump’s stunning electoral victory allowed him to consolidate his power within his own party, but the Republican resistance to the incoming president is starting to take shape, and those a part of it are scrambling for ideas on how to move forward, according to a new report.

Trump's broad support among congressional Republicans has taken reforming the party “off the table,” and cast doubt that a new party by disaffected Republicans could emerge, former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-FL) told POLITICO.

Barack Obama's aides are infiltrating Donald Trump's upcoming administration, according to the president-elect's MAGA allies.

The "prediction" comes as Trump is reported to have met with Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, at Mar-a-Lago, leading to one anti-Trump conservative saying the tech leader had "kissed the ring." After that reporting, a self-described "die hard Trump supporter" spoke out against a budding relationship between Trump and Zuckerberg.

Several House Democrats have been subjected to bomb threats and swatting in recent days, and the threats all reportedly included President-elect Donald Trump's catchphrase.

On Friday, the Washington Post reported that three lawmakers — Reps. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) Jahana Hayes (D-CT) and Jim Himes (D-CT) — were "targeted with bomb threats." House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said the threats ranged from “detailed threats of a pipe bomb placed in mailboxes to swatting," the latter of which is the term used for an anonymous caller alerting police to a situation at an address that requires an immediate armed response. Jeffries noted that the threats were "all signed with 'MAGA' at the conclusion of the message."

Despite distancing himself for months from the highly controversial Project 2025, President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet selections show his stance on the ‘right-wing manifesto’ giving Democrats worries is shifting.

And that means Trump’s vision for America when he returns to the White House could soon include many of the plans spelled out in the 900-page policy blueprint known as Project 2025, according to a New York Times report. The publication cited his recruitment of at least half a dozen “architects and supporters of the plan to oversee key issues, including the federal budget, intelligence gathering and his promised plans for mass deportations.”

Donald Trump's inauguration is approaching, and outgoing President Joe Biden is at work trying to protect some of his flagship policies that have been passed in the last four years.

Among them, the Wall Street Journal pointed to the CHIPS and Science Act, which helped increase domestic manufacturing for memory chips built in the United States. One economic expert even warned that if Trump were to kill the Biden program it could cost the U.S. up to $1 trillion.

Donald Trump's appointee to head the Department of Defense came under criticism from retired Naval War College professor Tom Nichols, as his limited experience in the military and inexperience in leading anything but a weekend Fox News show is causing backlash.

Nichols spoke on Friday in a podcast with The Atlantic about Pete Hegseth's appointment as nothing more than "pure provocation."

Democrat Kamala Harris came in for a deluge of mockery by Republicans and right-wing US media Wednesday after the release of a short video clip from her first public comments since losing to Donald Trump.

The Democratic Party posted a 28-second clip from longer remarks made by Harris in a video conference call Tuesday to thank supporters from her failed November 5 bid.

Republican vice president-elect J.D. Vance was under fire on Thursday after he was said to have "depicted himself as Donald Trump's wife" in a meme posted to social media.
