White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks broke with Republicans on Friday after labeling them “largely” responsible for pushing to escalate the United States’ ongoing military siege on Iran, while also urging President Donald Trump to “get out” of the ongoing conflict while he still had the chance.

A South African-born venture capitalist and billionaire, Sacks has long been a staunch ally to Trump, and was tapped by the president for his current role last December.

Just hours after Transportation Security Administration (TSA) workers missed their first full paycheck amid the ongoing partial government shutdown, President Donald Trump took to social media Friday to demand that they “go to work” regardless, issuing those who do a “promise” to repay their dedication.

Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s penchant for going rogue of health policy has forced Trump insiders to install new oversight controls, as mounting scandals and unpopular vaccine positions threaten to become a political liability for Republicans heading into midterms.

Despite Trump's public praise for the controversial HHS Secretary, White House officials—some who never supported Kennedy's prominent role—are increasingly alarmed that his erratic leadership and policy blunders will damage GOP candidates in November, with the Wall Street Journal reporting the Cabinet member's "standing among some staff is at a new low.'

President Donald Trump has been ridiculed in recent days for repeatedly referring to his administration’s military siege on Iran as an “excursion,” a potential mix-up with the word “incursion,” but according to a new report from Zeteo, his aides are well aware of the blunder but refuse to correct him out of fear.

“I’m not telling him,” a Trump administration official told Zeteo on Friday, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

Donald Trump's impetuous decision to launch a war on Iran, despite being warned against it, has handed Vladimir Putin an unexpected windfall, as the U.S. Treasury's decision to lift sanctions on Russian seaborne oil shipments has effectively relieved the economic stranglehold that was finally beginning to cripple Moscow's war machine.

President Donald Trump was warned before launching military action against Iran that Tehran could try to shut down the vital Strait of Hormuz – a move now helping drive up oil prices and fuel economic fears.

That’s according to a new Wall Street Journal report, which revealed Friday that Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine told Trump in multiple briefings that U.S. officials long believed Iran would deploy mines, drones, and missiles to close the critical shipping lane.

Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said President Donald Trump’s recent moves in Iran “really angers” her when confronted on CNN about her past praise for him.

The moment unfolded during Greene’s appearance on “The Source” when host Kaitlan Collins asked her whether Trump still deserved a Nobel Peace Prize amid escalating tensions abroad. The former MAGA lawmaker acknowledged she once believed he was worthy of the international honor.

Newsmax personality Greg Kelly unleashed a furious attack on Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth, accusing the controversial Defense secretary of reckless rhetoric that endangers military personnel.
