Once-again embattled Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth posted a meme to seemingly defend himself from war crimes allegations over his orders to strike two survivors of a missile attack.

The Washington Post reported last week that Hegseth verbally ordered a follow-on attack Sept. 2 of two survivors clinging to wreckage of a bombed boat that administration officials say was smuggling drugs from Venezuela to the U.S., and that led a military commander to carry out the second strike.

President Donald Trump seemingly distanced himself from the latest controversy surrounding Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

The self-styled secretary of war reportedly ordered a second missile strike on two alleged smugglers who survived an attack on a boat administration officials say was carrying drugs from Venezuela to the U.S., and many military and legal experts say Hegseth's "no quarter" order violated international and U.S. laws.

Florida's gubernatorial race is getting messy despite President Donald Trump's early endorsement of a favored candidate.

The president's endorsement of MAGA loyalist Rep. Byron Donalds (R-LF) didn't clear the Republican field quite as expected, and the GOP primary is turning into something like a proxy battle between Trump and outgoing Gov. Ron DeSantis – with some wild cards lurking on the fringes, reported Politico.

President Donald Trump made a decision that's hurting residents in a stronghold of support that helped propel him to re-election.

The president denied disaster aid Oct. 22 to two electric utilities in rural northern Michigan – where his support has historically run strong since entering politics – that would shift billions of dollars in costs from federal taxpayers to working-class customers who now potentially face thousands of dollars in rate hikes to pay for repairs to the power grid following a three-day ice storm in March, reported Politico.

A former police officer who nearly lost his life during the Jan. 6 insurrection mad a bold prediction about President Donald Trump's eventual fate.

President Donald Trump has been hammered over his recent pardon of a convicted Honduran drug trafficker, with the president being pressed for an explanation as his administration escalates military pressure on Venezuela over alleged narcotics trafficking. But on Sunday, two journalists said they’ve uncovered the real reason behind the move.

On Friday, Trump said he plans to pardon Juan Orlando Hernández, former president of Honduras and convicted drug trafficker who, according to court testimony, planned to “stuff the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.”

Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) is pushing back against GOP criticism of his effort to release Jeffrey Epstein files, arguing that his Republican colleagues are “obsessed” with him due to their frequent attacks.

As the top-ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, Garcia has helped lead the push to force the Trump administration to release all of its files on Epstein, the disgraced financier who died in 2019 awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges and was known for his close ties with powerful figures, including President Donald Trump.
