Florida sheriffs are furious that the Department of Homeland Security used data provided to them from sheriffs' departments around the country to poach their staff for their own desperate efforts to meet deportation quotas from the White House.

President Donald Trump lashed out after learning that his job numbers were lackluster at best.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt lavished praise Thursday on President Donald Trump in what columnist Greg Sargent called “one of her most obsequious, fawning tirades yet” – flattery, he argued, that is backfiring as Trump’s poll numbers plummet.

“We can always tell when Trump is in a shaky situation when press secretary Karoline Leavitt rushes in to praise him with absurdly over-the-top obsequious flattery – and boy, did she not disappoint this time,” Sargent said in the latest episode of his podcast The Daily Blast.

A rambling story Donald Trump told to an audience in Pennsylvania on July 15 has raised a red flag with an attorney who served in the late Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign in 2008.

In a column for The Hill, California attorney Chris Truax, who has previously acknowledged he has not supported Trump since his first run for the White House, pointed out that the president has spiraled into bouts of "confabulation," which is more concerning than the president's habit of off-the-cuff lying.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the American nonprofit organization that provides funding to National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service, announced it would be shutting down Friday following President Donald Trump’s budget cuts to public broadcasting.

President Donald Trump’s recent trip to Scotland was soured, according to Salon reporter Brian Karem, after he spotted a headline in a Scottish newspaper that dubbed him a “convicted U.S. felon.”

The shockingly weak July jobs report sent the country reeling Friday, with Democratic lawmakers sounding the alarm that the economy is about to suffer even more under the "big, beautiful bill" that the GOP just passed.

Bloomberg's Joe Weisenthal reported that the only two major job sectors that experienced growth in the latest economic numbers were health care and social assistance. Jobs overall saw growth of 73,000, way below the 115,000 expected. And updated numbers for June were even more brutal, with only 14,000 jobs added.

U.S. District Court Judge Jia Cobb ruled Friday that President Donald Trump's administration cannot use "summary deportation" for anyone who had previously been paroled into the United States.

Politico legal reporter Kyle Cheney posted the ruling on Bluesky in which the judge shames the administration for using tactics many of those immigrants saw in the countries from which they fled.
