The acknowledgment came Monday as Rep. Greg Murphy (R-NC) refused to rule out on CNN’s “News Central” if Trump and his new Department of Government Efficiency could come after funding for veterans. Murphy was asked point-blank if some of the “pain” he said comes with restructuring a federal agency would affect veterans.

Companies are feeling pressure as they prepare for Trump to implement tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China, the New York Times reported Monday.

The tariffs, which were meant to be enacted at the start of last month but were put off 30 days due to "deals" Trump struck, are expected to have a massive impact on American consumers, raising the cost of everyday items.

Even some Trump allies in Congress have begun to worry.

The international feud that unfolded Friday in the Oval Office spilled into a new week after President Donald Trump delivered a veiled threat to Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky while insisting that Russia is ready to make a deal to end the bloody and costly war.
