President Donald Trump's Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche was enraged Thursday that The New York Times didn't use the entirety of a quote he provided on their latest reporting about the prosecutions of Columbia University protesters.

The Times article paints a picture of high-ranking Trump officials clashing with career prosecutors and law enforcement officials disturbed by what they saw as the weaponization of the justice system against students for expressing political opinions about the bloody war taking place in Gaza.

CNN's Jake Tapper was gobsmacked by Vice President JD Vance's insistence on Fox News that the transfer of Mike Waltz out of the national security adviser role into an ambassadorship is unrelated to his role in the Signalgate scandal.

Waltz was part of the unsecured group chat in which highly sensitive military attack plans against the Houthi terrorists in Yemen were leaked to a reporter from The Atlantic. However, the scandal has mainly focused on the role of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who was implicated in a second such leak just weeks later.

A New York Times editorial published Thursday sparked a firestorm of criticism for what many saw as a contradictory warning about the dangers of President Donald Trump’s second term.

In an opinion piece titled, “There is a way forward: how to defeat Trump’s power grab,” the Times’ editorial board warned that the president’s return to power has already inflicted more damage on American democracy “than anything else since the demise of Reconstruction.”

Amazon reported a nine percent rise in first-quarter revenue on Thursday, but its outlook fell below expectations as potential impact from the US-China trade war rattled investors.

In signing a minerals deal, Ukraine has found a new way to tie the United States to its future, but it remains to be seen if it can guarantee long-term support from mercurial President Donald Trump.

The United States is set to end tariff exemptions on Friday for goods shipped from China worth less than $800, a move which could have significant ramifications on consumers' purchasing habits.

US President Donald Trump's decision to ban the so-called "de minimis" exemption from May 2 could affect some 4 million shipments every day, according to the White House.

The Trump administration asked the US Supreme Court on Thursday to back its bid to end the temporary protected status (TPS) shielding more than 350,000 Venezuelans from deportation.

A federal judge in California put a temporary stay in March on plans by Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem to end deportation protections for the Venezuelan nationals.

A former national security adviser to President Donald Trump lit up his former boss in a searing op-ed Thursday in the Wall Street Journal in the hours after news broke he would oust Mike Waltz from the same role.

“Donald Trump’s chaotic national-security governance is in full flood,” wrote his former National Security Advisor John Bolton.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy made an eyebrow-raising announcement while speaking to reporters on Thursday about the ongoing air traffic controller shortage.

While he didn't mention any specific incidents or locations, Duffy told CNN aviation reporter Pete Muntean that he was keenly aware of the danger associated with the need to hire more people to staff airport control towers and keep American skies safe.

A former Republican strategist warned lawmakers in the GOP that there's no "off ramp" for them from the deal they made with President Donald Trump.

As part of a panel discussion on "Deadline White House," host Nicolle Wallace had two legal analysts who remained optimistic about the state of the United States and the rule of law.

As Donald Trump’s trade war continues to escalate, even some within his own administration are bracing for the fallout – by hoarding goods and supplies.

That’s according to Rolling Stone, which reported Thursday that while experts have warned against mass stockpiling over fears it could “backfire spectacularly,” many Americans aren’t listening.

Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-VA) is tearing apart the Republican Party of Virginia — after having been the one to breathe new life into it just four years previously, wrote reporter and political commentator Jeff Schapiro in a scathing analysis for The Roanoke Times published on Thursday.

Youngkin, he noted, brought the GOP out of the wilderness by being elected in 2021, proving Republicans can still at least occasionally compete in the long blue-trending state: "Youngkin’s victory was a testament to, among other things, a generous self-investment. The former Wall Streeter steered to his campaign $20 million from his vast personal fortune, at the time estimated to be $400 million."

Republican pollster and Bulwark publisher Sarah Longwell sounded the alarm about President Donald Trump's comment that Americans would have to make do with only buying one or two toys for their children for the holidays instead of 30. Most Trump supporters will struggle to pay for those two, she explained.

Longwell spends most of her time speaking with focus groups of people who voted for Trump in 2024 after supporting former President Joe Biden in 2020.
