Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is casting off government oversight as she carries out President Donald Trump's mass deportation orders, according to a report.

At least 11 people have died while in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement since the start of the fiscal year — one short of the 12 deaths reported in all of last year — and Republicans just handed the agency the DHS secretary oversees a historic budget increase. But Noem has shut down three oversight offices and cut staff down to the bone, reported CNN.

A federal judge on Monday temporarily blocked a provision of the new Republican budget law that bars Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood health centers across the United States, an attack that reproductive rights advocates warn could shutter hundreds of clinics nationwide.

The decision by Judge Indira Talwani of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, an Obama appointee, came shortly after the Planned Parenthood Federation of America and its chapters in Massachusetts and Utah sued over the provision, which establishes a one-year Medicaid funding ban for healthcare organizations that provide abortions and received more than $800,000 in federal funding in 2023..

Congressional Republicans have set a "slow-rolling avalanche" tumbling toward their own constituents and state-level colleagues as they desperately tried to deflect blame for passing Donald Trump's budget bill, an analyst wrote Tuesday.

Trump's freshly signed law represents a masterclass in political buck-passing, MSNBC's Hayes Brown wrote. It shifts the burden of maintaining America's social safety net from Washington to cash-strapped states — including many deep red ones — while millions face losing access to food and healthcare benefits.

A ‘jaw-dropping” statistic shows that President Donald Trump’s drive to deport hundreds of thousands of immigrants is killing his chance to achieve his economic dreams, experts wrote Tuesday.

Stephen Moore, an economic adviser of Trump’s 2020 campaign, coupled with Ohio University economics professor Richard Vedder to write a warning in the Washington Post.

Republicans are moving on after passing their so-called "big beautiful bill" — but it's not clear all of them have an appetite for this coming battle.

Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is bracing Democrats for a fight over GOP intentions to claw back $9.4 billion in funding for foreign aid and public broadcasting, saying the rescissions package was "beyond a bait-and-switch — it is a bait and poison-to-kill."

Flight data shows Sen. Ted Cruz could have rushed back to his flood-hit Texas constituency after the deaths of 100 people — including 27 girls and counsellors at a summer camp, the Daily Beast reported Tuesday.

Instead, he was seen touring the Parthenon in Athens, a full day after the Guadalupe River burst its banks. When confronted by a witness who said, "20 kids dead in Texas and you take a vacation?" Cruz reportedly "grunted and walked on" while his wife shot dirty looks.

The panel on CNN's "NewsNight with Abby Phillip" erupted on Monday night after a GOP strategist tried to defend President Donald Trump's tariff policy.

Earlier in the day, Trump announced new 25% tariffs against South Korea and Japan, two of America's largest trading partners. GOP strategist Brad Todd joined the panel to argue that the tariffs are a sound economic policy for the U.S. government to pursue.

WASHINGTON — U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem ended temporary protections Monday for nationals from Nicaragua and Honduras, opening up roughly 76,000 people to deportations by early September.

The move is the latest effort by President Donald Trump’s administration to wind down legal statuses, such as Temporary Protected Status, amid an immigration crackdown and pledge to carry out mass deportations.

President Donald Trump's decision to impose sweeping 25% tariffs on trade partners South Korea and Japan met swift condemnation from the Wall Street Journal's conservative editorial board.

The board penned an op-ed on Monday that argued Trump is spoiling the "economic mood" following the signing of his landmark "One Big, Beautiful Bill Act." The bill makes permanent several tax cuts from Trump's first administration while also slashing spending on social programs.

President Donald Trump has staked much of the credibility of his "big, beautiful bill" of tax cuts on Kevin Hassett, a right-wing economist long hitched to Trump's movement who insists in the face of all evidence that hundreds of billions of dollars in Medicaid cuts aren't actually Medicaid cuts, wrote Jonathan Chait in a searing analysis for The Atlantic published on Monday evening.

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has forecast that Trump's new law will cost millions of people their health care while driving up energy prices and adding more than $2 trillion to the deficit — but Hassett has a simple answer when confronted with this.

President Donald Trump's new fragrance line shouldn't be viewed as any other product release. Instead, it should be seen as a warning sign, according to a new op-ed on MSNBC.com.

Trump's fragrance line, deftly named 'Victory 45-47,' is the president's latest business venture since he entered office for a second term. He has also launched a cryptocurrency venture, negotiated a hotel development in Saudi Arabia, and helped his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, land a luxury hotel deal in Serbia.

Dan Bongino, deputy director of the FBI, became the latest Trump administration official to come under fire Monday night after Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that the Justice Department found no evidence that Jeffrey Epstein was murdered or that a so-called "client list" exists.

Bongino, a MAGA influencer before being tapped for the FBI, made numerous public remarks about Epstein and the "client list" over the years, frequently pushing conspiracy theories suggesting Epstein was killed and that he had blackmailed powerful elites.
