As President Donald Trump's approval ratings swiftly spiral downward, his fundraising appeals have become increasingly desperate, with messaging that veers toward implicit threats against supporters who fail to contribute financially.

President Donald Trump will likely face obstacles put in place by his own Justice Department as his administration argues against refunding tariffs struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Plans for a proposed federal immigration detention facility in New Hampshire were scrapped by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem Tuesday after hundreds of protesters took to the streets over the weekend in protest.

“During my trip to Washington last week, I had productive discussions with Secretary Kristi Noem, and I’m pleased to announce that the Department of Homeland Security will not move forward with the proposed ICE facility in Merrimack,” said New Hampshire Gov. Kelly Ayotte Tuesday in a press release, shared by Politico reporter Kyle Cheney.

Rep. James Comer (R-KY), the chair of the House Oversight Committee, promised "to do whatever the president wants" after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Donald Trump illegally imposed tariffs around the world.

A growing group of Republicans who’ve labeled themselves as a “shadow RNC” are working to reclaim their party from President Donald Trump and his “MAGA takeover” of the GOP, The Hill reported on Tuesday.

The producer of the Melania Trump documentary insists some big-name music "heroes" wanted their songs used in the film — but he won't share their names.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt pivoted to attacking the media Tuesday after being confronted with two statements put out by the Trump administration that appear to stand at complete odds with each other.

Last June, the Trump administration carried out “Operation Midnight Hammer,” a covert attack on three Iranian nuclear facilities that the president proudly boasted had successfully “obliterated” Tehran’s nuclear program.

Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, a Trump appointee, occupies a unique position following a 6-3 decision against the president on tariffs, according to Harvard Law School professor Richard J. Lazarus.

Lazarus argued in a Washington Post column that Kavanaugh should use his current favor with Trump to defend the Court's institutional integrity after the president attacked his colleagues.

President Donald Trump was given a dressing-down by the conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board for persisting with his tariffs policy after the U.S. Supreme Court struck them down.

The court ruled 6-3 last week that Trump overstepped his authority by imposing tariffs without congressional approval. He has raged against the decision for days and threatened to implement the levies using alternative legal means.
