Vice President JD Vance may soon come to "regret his new title" as President Donald Trump's fraud czar, according to a new analysis.

Trump appointed Vance as fraud czar via an executive order signed in March, which instructed him to investigate social benefits fraud in blue states such as Minnesota, California, and Colorado. Will Gottsegen, a staff writer for The Atlantic, argued in a new essay published on Thursday that Vance may be in for more than he's bargained for with the job, considering that Trump has fired many of the watchdogs that would be doing the groundwork.

Donald Trump promised to cut Americans' electricity bills in half within his first year and a half in office, but in ruby red West Virginia, some residents are now getting hit with monthly electric bills bigger than their paychecks.

Rebecca Michalski, a disabled woman on a fixed income in Rainelle, West Virginia, opened her February electric bill to find a charge of $940.08, more than her monthly check, The Associated Press reported Thursday. She keeps one energy-efficient lamp on at night and turns the lights off during the day. She took out a loan after receiving a cut-off notice during an arctic blast.

A Republican lawmaker was called out for his history of making racist remarks during a live interview on TMZ on Thursday.

Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) was asked on "TMZ Live" to respond to comments made by right-wing influencer Dan Bilzerian on Wednesday, who called Fine a "fat Jew" during a live interview. Fine said that Bilzerian's comments showed he intended to use the term "Jew" as a slur rather than a statement of fact, and that it could potentially harm Bilzerian's chances of running for office one day.

President Donald Trump posted a lengthy screed against immigrants on his Truth Social account Thursday — accompanied by what appeared to be raw video footage of what appeared to be a woman being beaten to death by a Haitian with Temporary Protected Status.

Trump wrote that "An Illegal Alien Criminal from Haiti, who was released into our Country by the WORST President in History, Crooked Joe Biden, and the Radical Democrats in Congress, just beat an innocent woman to death with a hammer at a gas station in Florida."

A former federal prosecutor ripped Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche on Thursday for comments he made about President Donald Trump.

During a recent press conference, Blanche told reporters that he "loved" working for Trump and that it would be an honor to serve the administration as attorney general or any other position Trump puts Blanche in. However, it was a comment he made at the end of his answer that stuck in the mind of Glenn Kirschner, a former deputy U.S. Attorney in Washington, D.C.

Two prominent figures within President Donald Trump's MAGA movement are ripping into each other over the plight of a Trumpworld lawyer whose loyalties have been thrown into question.

Laura Loomer, a far-right conspiracy theory figure known for having Trump's ear, is calling for the dismissal of Stanley Woodward, the third-in-command at the Justice Department, on the grounds that his wife supports Democratic causes. But this has raised the hackles of Peter Navarro, the president's longtime trade adviser, who went out of his way to pen a response for the Daily Caller.

President Donald Trump stunned political observers and analysts on Thursday by officially endorsing Hungarian dictator Viktor Orbán for reelection.

Trump posted on Truth Social that Orbán is a "truly strong and powerful Leader, with a proven track record of delivering phenomenal results" and urged voters to support him during the April 12 election. Trump's post came at a time when Orbán, who has been in office for the past 16 years, is facing one of his toughest reelection bids yet.

President Donald Trump lashed out at a federal court after it denied his bid to end Temporary Protected Status for certain immigrants on Thursday.

U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy of the District of Massachusetts ruled that the Department of Homeland Security didn't properly move to terminate TPS for the immigrants. Tens of thousands of Ethiopians were let into the country in 2022 under the Biden administration because of an armed conflict and humanitarian crisis in the country. Courts have also blocked Trump's attempts to end TPS for Haitian immigrants.

The conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board was outraged Thursday that President Donald Trump punched holes in U.S. sanctions on Russia — and penned a column demanding Trump "stop doing sanctions favors for Mr. Putin."

The Treasury Department lifted certain Russian oil sanctions, which have been as harsh as possible as Russia continues its disastrous invasion of Ukraine, in response to Iran shutting down shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz amid war with the United States, disrupting around 20 percent of the world's oil market.

Hunter Biden threw down the gauntlet on Thursday, challenging Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump to a cage match, and making clear he doesn't need anyone's permission to show up.

"I told him I'd do it — 100% in if he can pull it off. And if he can't, I'm still coming," Biden said in a video shared on conservative social media commentator Andrew Callaghan's Channel 5 Instagram. Callaghan had called him about organizing the bout.

A political commentator excoriated Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt for lying to the American people to cover for President Donald Trump in a new reaction video.

David Pakman, who hosts the progressive YouTube show, "The David Pakman Show," called out Leavitt's latest "massive dump of lies" about the Strait of Hormuz in a new video on Thursday. The Strait has been effectively closed since the U.S. and Israel began bombing Iran in late February, which has led to a sharp spike in oil prices. Trump claimed in a Truth Social post that the Strait would be reopened as part of a two-week ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran, a deal that Iran appears to be violating, according to another one of Trump's Truth Social posts.

David Rothkopf, a columnist with The Daily Beast, floated a new theory about why first lady Melania Trump gave seemingly unprompted remarks about her relationship with disgraced financier and convicted sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein on Thursday afternoon.

Trump held a press conference where she declared that the "lies" about her relationship with Epstein "need to stop." Her comments came at a time when the Trump administration is trying to navigate a wave of criticism over its handling of the war in Iran.

Former Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem is barely doing the job President Donald Trump demoted her to, reported the Daily Mail on Thursday.

Noem was effectively fired from the Cabinet after months of bad press from immigration enforcement raids, and a disastrous congressional hearing in which she blamed Trump for a $200 million taxpayer-funded ad campaign that used her likeness. Trump moved her into the role of Special Envoy to the Shield of the Americas, a minimally important State Department role.
