Outgoing Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has vowed that Donald Trump will not be successful in pushing the Senate into recess so that his Cabinet nominees can bypass the confirmation process.

The problem is, an expert said, neither he nor incoming Republican Senate leader John Thune (R-SD) have the power to stop him.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), a far-right lawmaker known for her confrontational style, clashed with CNN's Boris Sanchez on Tuesday, arguing that the House Ethics Committee should not release the report on allegations against former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) — and even attacking the integrity of Senate Republicans who want to see the report before voting on him for Donald Trump's attorney general.

"I want to get your response to this attorney for the two women who testified before the House Ethics Committee, saying that Gaetz paid them for sex over ten times during a two-year period, one of them alleging that Gaetz unknowingly had sex with an underage woman," said Sanchez.

Vice President-elect J.D. Vance lashed out at a staffer working for Steve Bannon's War Room podcast after she slammed him for skipping Senate votes on judge confirmations.

On Tuesday, War Room CFO Grace Chong slammed Vance and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), the nominee for secretary of state, after the Senate confirmed a judge picked by President Joe Biden for the first time since President-elect Donald Trump won the 2024 election.

Donald Trump and his advisers tried to distance themselves during the campaign from the controversial Project 2024 blueprint, but several individuals who worked on the plan for overhauling the federal government have already found jobs in his incoming administration.

Russ Vought, one of the plan's chief architects and the author of its "comprehensive policy guide for the next conservative U.S. president," has already been vetted by Trump's transition team for a Cabinet-level position and has been meeting with top advisers at Mar-a-Lago, reported ABC News.

A study published Tuesday estimates that tax dodging enabled by the United States, the United Kingdom, and other wealthy nations is costing countries around the world nearly half a trillion dollars in revenue each year, underscoring the urgent need for global reforms to prevent rich individuals and large corporations from shirking their obligations.

The new study, conducted by the Tax Justice Network (TJN), finds that "the combined costs of cross-border tax abuse by multinational companies and by individuals with undeclared assets offshore stands at an estimated $492 billion." Of that total in lost revenue, corporate tax dodging is responsible for more than $347 billion, according to TJN's calculations.

One of Donald Trump's plans during the 2024 campaign was to institute large tariffs on foreign imports, and he needs economic experts who agree with his plans to serve in his administration.

During his nearly two-year campaign, Trump falsely claimed that the cost of the policy would be picked up by the country exporting the goods. Now, several CEOs have said it will be passed onto consumers.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell said that his team is ready to "plug right in" if President-elect Donald Trump picks him to head election security for the federal government.

In a recent interview with Wired, Lindell insisted that he was continuing his crusade to secure elections despite Trump's win in 2024.

Donald Trump has begun receiving intelligence briefings as president-elect, just months after a federal judge dismissed criminal charges against him for allegedly mishandling classified information.

President-elect Trump's sentencing in his criminal hush money trial was put on pause Tuesday, according to a new report.

Axios reported Judge Juan Merchan adjourned the sentencing, slated to take place in New York City on Nov. 26, as he considers how to move forward after Trump's Election Day victory.
