Far-right Trump influencer and failed Florida congressional candidate Laura Loomer escalated her growing public battle with tech billionaire Elon Musk on Thursday, after he deigned to respond to several of her rants earlier in the morning.

Loomer has demanded President-elect Donald Trump purge his incoming administration of "Big Tech" influence, particularly taking issue with tech CEOs' support for high-skilled visa programs and the influx of Indian immigrants to work at their companies.

Pro-Donald Trump lawyer Mike Davis of the Article III Project is going after Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, claiming, "You disenfranchised AZ voters and stole your election from Abraham Hamadeh."

Although the election was two years ago, Davis is still angry that the Democrat won by a 280-vote margin. Hamadeh is now headed to Congress after Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-AZ) announced her retirement.

President-elect Donald Trump’s threat to fire thousands of federal workers unless they return to their office spaces will be met with fierce resistance from employees – and their union contracts, according to a Washington Post report.

The COVID-19 pandemic brought a rise in companies moving employees to work-from-home schedules and some have yet to return to their offices – including scores of federal employees who Trump vowed to fire last week unless they come back.

Ron Vitiello, former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, claimed President-elect Donald Trump's proposed internment centers for immigrant families would be like a "really nice summer camp."

The Washington Post noted Thursday that Trump border czar Tom Homan intended to once again hold undocumented immigrant families with children in "soft-sided" tent structures.

A North Carolina Republican lawmaker suggested on Fox News this week that the federal government should strip California of funding.

This came in response to reporting that Gov. Gavin Newsom plans a network of support programs to resist mass deportation efforts by the Trump administration, which may include the “creation of an Immigrant Support Network comprised of regional ‘hubs’ to connect at-risk individuals, their families, and communities with community systems — such as legal services, schools, labor unions, local governments, etc.”

Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, a close Donald Trump ally tasked with helping to dismantle the federal government, is facing scorn from both sides of the aisle for saying America has a culture problem — it focuses on prom queens and sports over math and science — and that's why tech companies hire more people from India and China.

In a post on X, he wrote, "Our American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long (at least since the 90s and likely longer). That doesn’t start in college, it starts YOUNG."

President-elect Donald Trump's hardline anti-immigrant rhetoric and campaign promises of resurrecting a travel ban have led to fear and anxiety for international students, according to a report.

Pramath Pratap Misra, a 23-year-old student from India who graduated from New York University this year with a bachelor’s degree in political science, told CNN it's a "scary time for international students."

A pair of former Supreme Court law clerks came out with an opinion article in The Hill this week laying out how Congress ought to disqualify President-elect Donald Trump under the Insurrection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, for his role in inciting the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

The authors freely admitted this was all but guaranteed not to happen, and so far no Democratic member of Congress appears interested in taking up their cause — but the article triggered a round of outrage from pro-Trump commentators. Some went so far as to call this in itself an insurrection attempt, and demand the authors be arrested simply for suggesting it, in sarcasm to imply Trump's 2020 plot wasn't really an act of insurrection.

Don't expect Matt Gaetz to make any mischief at the start of the next Congress, as he's suggested he might do after the release of an incriminating ethics report on his alleged sexual misconduct.

The former lawmaker resigned the seat to which he had just won re-election during his ill-fated nomination by Donald Trump as attorney general, but Axios reporter Juliegrace Brufke tamped down speculation that he might attempt to take part in the Jan. 3 vote for speaker of the House after the next Congress was sworn in.

A columnist took a humorous look at the Christmas wish list of Donald Trump and other prominent political figures.

The president-elect apparently wants Canada, Mexico, Greenland and the Panama Canal, wrote Salon's Brian Karem, and wondered what Trump wanted to do with those sovereign territories he's been talking about taking over.

Reacting to a flurry of Donald Trump Truth Social attacks launched on Christmas day, MSNBC host Chris Jansing asked her panel how Republican lawmakers plan to deal with four more years of erratic proclamations from president-elect.

Speaking to NBC political correspondent Jonathan Allen, she asked, "Jonathan, look, he's not even president yet, obviously he is the president-elect. But if you're a member of the U.S. Senate and you just got re-elected to a six-year term and he's going to be gone in four years, I mean, do you think that there's any doubt that we're going to have these situations where Donald Trump wants something and it's either going to be fish or cut bait?"

Fox Capitol Hill correspondent Chad Pergram walked through the numbers Speaker Mike Johnson faces as he tries to maintain his leadership in the House.

In what he dubbed "The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Failing to Elect a House Speaker Quickly," Pergram explained that, "The problem has been percolating for a while."
