The MAGA movement is in celebration mode over the Justice Department decision to step in and review the election tampering conviction involving far-right conspiracy theorist Tina Peters – and they are also lauding the players that helped make it happen.

That reportedly includes MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, who has been propped up among election-deniers as one of a handful of prominent MAGA enthusiasts who have personally reached out to President Donald Trump to back Peters, a former Colorado clerk and recorder serving a nine-year prison sentence.

The Trump administration is on course to undermine Social Security, one of the most vital public programs the federal government administers, warned former Social Security Administration director Martin O'Malley to The Bulwark's Joe Perticone.

President Donald Trump repeatedly promised he would not touch Social Security benefits on the campaign trail. However, Republicans in Congress have floated changes to the program, and Trump, alongside tech billionaire and Department of Government Efficiency task force chief Elon Musk, appear dead set on going after the workforce of the SSA, even if they're not outright cutting benefits.

President Donald Trump has ordered federal workers back into the office — after years of working from home following the pandemic — but some of those office spaces are being vacated, according to a new report.

A lease had been canceled for office space in a southern U.S. state that housed Agriculture Department employees, The Washington Post reported Tuesday. The termination takes effect in the spring.

Tech billionaire and close adviser to President Donald Trump, Elon Musk, is lending his voice to encourage the pardon of former police officer Derek Chauvin, who killed George Floyd in May 2020.

Far-right commentator Ben Shapiro posted a link to a Daily Wire letter to Trump, asking to pardon Chauvin. Musk shared the post and called it "something to think about."

Trump administration Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick swatted away any notion the president's tariffs on China, Canada, and Mexico could exacerbate inflation on U.S. consumers in a CNBC "Squawk Box" interview with Joe Kernen — accusing anyone expressing this criticism of "whining and complaining."

"I mean, how much pain are we going to be willing to take in inflation if all of a sudden, they hit us right back?" asked Kernen.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy flatly rejected the idea that Elon Musk’s Starlink is the key to fixing FAA’s struggling air traffic control system.

Duffy delivered the slap down of the tech billionaire's satellite internet network while speaking to Fox News on Tuesday about air traffic control shortages and other issues plaguing the agency following a series of deadly aviation disasters in the opening weeks of 2025.

Hours before delivering his first address to a joint session of Congress in his second term, President Donald Trump issued what some legal experts quickly condemned as an attack on the First Amendment—a statement threatening imprisonment or deportation for certain forms of campus protest. The order, seen by some as authoritarian, targets students and faculty and raises questions about whether he anticipates resistance to the announced theme of his speech, “The Renewal of the American Dream.”

“All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests,” Trump declared at 7:30 Tuesday morning. “Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

Elon Musk, the billionaire face of DOGE, urged officials like President Donald Trump to "think about" pardoning the former police officer who shocked the world by murdering George Floyd on camera.

Musk made the call for Derek Chauvin's release from prison Tuesday on his X social media platform while re-posting a rant from conservative pundit Ben Shapiro.

Auto dealership owner David Kelleher told Fox Business that nobody would buy his Ram trucks after President Donald Trump ordered 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada.

During an interview on Tuesday, Kelleher explained to correspondent Jeff Flock that he expected a "dramatic" downturn in sales over the tariffs.

Andrew Wilson, deputy secretary-general of the International Chamber of Commerce, is issuing a red alert about the trade wars sparked by President Donald Trump in the last day.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Wilson warned that Trump's tariffs against Canada and Mexico could be putting the global economy on the path to an economic depression that rivals the Great Depression of the 1930s.

A Republican lawmaker conceded that Donald Trump's tariffs and Elon Musk's spending cuts could driving the nation into an economic recession, but he said that might be necessary.

Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) appeared Tuesday morning on Maria Bartiromo's Fox Business program, where the host asked about the stock market plunged after the president's tariffs took effect at midnight, and the Florida Republican agreed with Trump's assessment that some "short-term pain" might be necessary.
