U.S. trade partners are buying up more American goods and trying to curry favor with president Donald Trump in an effort to stave off sweeping tariffs.

The administration is negotiating with more than 70 trading partners, many of whom are trying to eliminate the trade imbalances Trump says the tariffs are meant to even out, but it's not clear the spending spree – or other favors to him and his allies – will appease the president, who announced the reciprocal tariffs April 2 but agreed to pause them until July, reported the Wall Street Journal.

United States Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has reportedly been trying to calm President Donald Trump's rage at Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell due to the negative impacts it could have on the economy.

President Donald Trump thinks he's hit on a winning issue with threatening to lock up American citizens in a foreign torture prison, but legal experts say he's got "zero authority" to do it.

Two White House officials who are familiar with the matter told CNN that the Justice Department and the White House counsel's office are both discussing whether Trump has any legal justification to send "homegrown" criminals to El Salvador’s notorious mega-prison, and one of those sources say the president views it as an "80-20" issue, meaning that he believes 80 percent of Americans agree with his proposal.

A Florida-based charity that is currently under scrutiny by lawmakers over the allocation of funds under the eye of the wife of Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), Casey DeSantis, was forced to shut down a board meeting on Zoom Thursday morning after online trolls created havoc.

A report published in The Washington Post on Thursday revealed tech billionaire Elon Musk funnelled substantial funds in late March to support Republican Congress members who backed legislation aimed at impeaching judges or limiting their authority. The report cites new filings, indicating this effort aligns with his campaign to penalize judges who make rulings unfavorable to the Trump administration.

"The spending, which totaled $144,400 in support of nearly two dozen members of Congress, was disclosed Tuesdayin filings to the Federal Election Commission.While the amount is a fraction of the millions he shelled out for Republican candidates before the November election, the spending so early in the 2026 midterm cycle further cements the billionaire’s long-term involvement in GOP politics despite a decisive loss for his preferred candidate in this month’s Wisconsin Supreme Court race," The Post reported.

Rep. Dan Meuser (R-PA) suggested Gov. Josh Shapiro's (D-PA) opposition to President Donald Trump was to blame after an arson attack on his home.

The Atlantic's Jonathan Chait says that President Donald Trump's refusal to bring back Kilmar Abrego Garcia from El Salvador is about much more than a wrongly deported immigrant.

As he writes in his latest piece, Chait believes that the Garcia case represents a "trapdoor" that Trump is exploiting that he believes could "swallow the Constitution" thanks to his deal with El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele to permanently imprison both immigrants and potentially American citizens.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved a core component of a neurotech brain implant system from a rival company to Elon Musk's.

Critics are attacking President Donald Trump's director of the Federal Communications Commission, Brendan Carr, after he bashed a media conglomerate on X over the news coverage by its subsidiary cable news channel.

"Comcast outlets spent days misleading the American public—implying that Abrego Garcia was merely a law abiding U.S. citizen, just a regular 'Maryland man,'" wrote Carr. "When the truth comes out, they ignore it. Comcast knows that federal law requires its licensed operations to serve the public interest. News distortion doesn’t cut it. Abrego Garcia came to America illegally from El Salvador, was validated as a member of the violent MS13 gang—a transnational criminal organization—and was denied bond by an immigration court for failure to show he would not pose a danger to others. Why does Comcast ignore these facts of obvious public interest?"
