President Donald Trump's Justice Department is crying foul over the way a federal judge treated Attorney General Todd Blanche, complaining she trashed him in a court order without ever giving him a chance to respond.

In a time-sensitive filing to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday, the DOJ demanded the court freeze the order, toss it, and reassign the case largely over how U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams went after Blanche.

Russian President Vladimir Putin's has set his sights on a member of Donald Trump's Cabinet — by going after his kid.

President Donald Trump's antisemitism lawsuit against Harvard was dismissed Thursday by a federal judge who called the government's arguments "fevered."

President Donald Trump has a crack problem — and America is paying the cost of it, according to Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman.

Krugman argued on Substack Thursday that Americans are unlikely to see gas prices drop because, as he put it, "Donald Trump is not a well man. He is, unfortunately, also President, which means that we all pay a price for his inability to accept reality."

Attorney General Todd Blanche's "strange" address to the Justice Department on Thursday stunned a legal analyst who hurled his own words — and the mounting dangers judges' families face — back in his face.

MS NOW commentator Lisa Rubin took to X to condemn Blanche for a rallying cry to his troops she characterized as blatantly contradictory to his leadership.

President Donald Trump's tanking popularity presents Democrats a "historic" opportunity to flip southern Senate seats they've been unable to claim for decades, according to an analysis by CNN's Harry Enten.

With less than three months until the midterms and Trump's approval rating sinking to new lows, polling shows Democratic candidates leading in three crucial states, according to the data analyst.

Donald Trump's hold over the Republican Party is eroding at a rapid clip, according to longtime Democratic strategist James Carville — and the sudden demise has left the longtime critic reeling.

Speaking on his Politics War Room podcast, Carville pointed to what he called one of the most overlooked stories in American politics — a rapid slide in approval ratings among his own party members. He put the number at roughly 80 percent — a steep drop from the 95 percent he was pulling earlier in his term.

MAGA Texas Senate candidate Ken Paxton got more than he bargained for on the right-wing Newsmax network as the hosts warned him the "clock was ticking" for him to make headway in the race, which Republicans fear could result in handing the chamber over to Democratic control.

Paxton, the scandal-plagued Texas attorney general, muscled his way to the nomination by ousting longtime Sen. John Cornyn in a bruising Republican primary. He heads into the general election weighed down by baggage. He survived a 2023 impeachment, has faced years of legal troubles, and is in the middle of a messy public divorce after his wife, state Sen. Angela Paxton, accused him of adultery.

Attorney General Todd Blanche let a 92-year federal ban on unregistered gun silencers and short-barreled rifles collapse, days after telling senators his duty was to defend it.

A sailor serving on the USS Abraham Lincoln was rescued last month after going overboard into the water, according to a U.S. official.

President Donald Trump is losing Karoline Leavitt, and one columnist surmised Thursday he may soon lose far more than his press secretary.

In a pointed opinion piece for The I Paper, political editor James Ball argued that Leavitt's surprise exit laid bare how dependent an aging Trump has become on the young staffers who shield and soothe him. Leavitt was his most visible public defender, Ball wrote, and was "one of his comfort blankets, someone upon whom he has come to depend."
