Donald Trump administration staffers who are fans of Bruce Springsteen are facing a dilemma as the legendary rock star continues his “No Kings Tour” — stay home and avoid the wrath of the president or attend a show and hope they are not seen and possibly lose their job.

According to NOTUS, Republican operatives connected to the administration are privately expressing terror about the consequences of attending Springsteen's performances. "Can't piss off Trump," one Republican operative said, declining to go on the record. Another admitted, "I don't think it would be a good look for me personally in my career."

Spencer Pratt took his LA mayoral campaign to Fox & Friends Thursday morning with five days until the June 2 primary — and invoked divine intervention on his path to City Hall.

"I have a feeling God wants me to just win with 51% on June 2, and it's over," the registered Republican and former The Hills star told hosts Ainsley Earhardt, Brian Kilmeade, and Lawrence Jones.

In the midst of yet another faltering agreement with Iran to bring Donald Trump’s war to an end, the producers of MS NOW’s “Morning Joe” compiled embarrassing video footage of the president optimistically claiming “Iran wants to make a deal” — dating back multiple weeks.

Coming out of a commercial break, the president is seen telling Fox Business host Larry Kudlow, “I don't know. I mean, I don't know. I know one thing. They want to make a deal. They wouldn't talk to anybody else, but they're talking to me,” during a February 10 interview.

President Donald Trump has refiled his $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal — and to bolster his case, he's leaning on a key witness interview conducted by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, the president's own former personal attorney.

In an amended complaint filed Tuesday in federal court in Miami, Trump's lawyers cited a July 2025 interview with Ghislaine Maxwell as evidence that the Journal's reporting was false. What the filing doesn't mention is that the interview was conducted by Blanche who was serving as Deputy Attorney General at the time and has since been elevated to Acting Attorney General — and who granted Maxwell limited immunity to participate.

A former aide to President Donald Trump questioned why his administration was launching a criminal investigation of E. Jean Carroll, who successfully sued him twice for sexual assault and defamation, just months before crucial elections.

A jury found Trump liable in 2023 for sexually abusing the writer and columnist decades earlier, and he was also found liable for defamation over comments he made about her on social media.

The Trump administration has fractured into warring factions over how best to regulate artificial intelligence, as industry pressure forces the president to reverse himself on his planned executive order trying to lay ground rules for the industry, reported Politico on Thursday.

The change came as experts raised the alarm about the level of lobbying from AI and tech firms since the president started his second term.

CNN's Audie Cornish was caught off guard by a former Donald Trump official's response to criticism of the president's plans for his 80th birthday celebration.

An octagon-shaped cage is being erected on the White House South Lawn to host next month's UFC bout marking the nation's 250th anniversary and the president's birthday, and mixed martial arts analyst Luke Thomas addressed some of the concerns about the hulking structure and the event itself.

Rock star Bruce Springsteen used his May 27 performance at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. to deliver a searing six-minute critique of Donald Trump — and announced plans to return to Donald Trump's backyard in October for a major "Power to the People" music festival designed as an explicit show of resistance ahead of Election Day.

The legendary rock star told the cheering crowd to direct their message toward the White House before leading an "ICE Out Now!" chant, signaling his opposition to the Trump administration's aggressive immigration enforcement policies, according to NJArts.

Cracks are beginning to show in the MAGA-linked "Freedom 250" festival, an event billed as marking the country's 250th anniversary featuring a number of musical performers of all genres and backgrounds, as artists uncomfortable with the event's increasingly politicized direction begin to exit.

The trouble began with Morris Day, who denied any involvement with the event despite having been advertised as being in the lineup, according to Bring Me The News.

Two Donald Trump political appointees are pressuring the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing to violate federal law by placing Donald Trump's portrait on currency — and have already pushed aside the career official who refused to comply with their demands.

According to an exclusive Washington Post investigation, U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach and his senior adviser Mike Brown have repeatedly pressured bureau staff to move forward with a $250 bill featuring Trump's face, despite the fact that federal law explicitly prohibits living people from appearing on American currency.
