A federal judge ordered Donald Trump to end his takeover of the California National Guard, rejecting his claim that the deployment was needed to protect immigration agents. Former prosecutor Glenn Kirschner said the ruling essentially told Trump to “get your damn hands off” the Guard, marking yet another court rebuke of the administration’s attempts to seize state control.

Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy suggested to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt that President Donald Trump could be "jeopardizing a Nobel Peace Prize" by escalating military action with Venezuela.

During Thursday's White House briefing, Doocy asked Leavitt to explain Trump's conflict with Venezuela after the Department of Justice seized one of the country's oil tankers.

President Donald Trump attempted to reverse the continued slide in his economic approval rating by shifting blame for the affordability crisis and insisting that "prices are coming down fast."

The latest AP-NORC survey released Thursday found just 31 percent of respondents approve of Trump's handling of the economy, down 2 percent from last month and plummeting 9 points since March, and marks his lowest approval rating on the topic in either of his terms in the White House.

President Donald Trump is reportedly planning to demolish four federal buildings after tearing down the White House's East Wing, and officials say he's leaving a key government agency out of his scheme.

Mydelle “Mina” Wright, a former senior official at the General Services Administration, submitted a sworn court declaration this week complaining the White House was not consulting with the GSA, which oversees government property, to solicit bids to demolish the four historic buildings in Washington, D.C., reported CNN.

Anti-Trump GOP pollster Sarah Longwell warned on MS NOW that Donald Trump’s desperate attempts to deny an affordability crisis — including his bizarre Pennsylvania speech at which he told Americans they “don’t need dolls or pencils” — are backfiring spectacularly. Voters across parties, she said, now overwhelmingly blame Trump’s own tariffs and economic choices for rising prices, with even his supporters expressing frustration that costs keep climbing under a president who promised relief on “day one.” Longwell argued mounting “buyer’s remorse” has become Trump’s most dangerous vulnerability, as Americans watch him focus on billionaires, ballrooms and excuses while their grocery bills skyrocket — and conclude he owns the mess entirely.

House Speaker Mike Johnson barely muscled the annual defense bill through the chamber after caving to GOP hardliners — and now they’re openly warning they’ll blow up the next government funding measure if he wavers. Axios reports Johnson promised votes on banning congressional stock trades, blocking a Federal Reserve digital currency, and advancing a far-right bill restricting gender-affirming care, along with a separate pledge from Secretary of State Marco Rubio to target NGO funds in Afghanistan. With another shutdown threat looming and a pivotal vote on ACA subsidies coming soon, Johnson’s shaky deal has only deepened the GOP’s own internal chaos, according to the report.

Federal data released Thursday shows that the number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits surged last week, another indication of growing instability in President Donald Trump’s economy as corporations lay off workers en masse and prices continue to rise.

For the week ending December 6, new unemployment claims jumped to 236,000—an increase of 44,000 from the previous week, according to figures from the US Labor Department.
