The White House dismissed a report published Friday night in which two U.S. officials claimed that the Pentagon had raised its counterintelligence threat level from a top U.S. ally to “critical,” the “highest level,” according to NBC News.

Two U.S. officials and one former U.S. official, speaking with NBC News under the condition of anonymity, claimed that the Pentagon had grown “increasingly concerned about Israel ramping up its spying on the U.S.,” the outlet reported, and that in “recent weeks,” the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) had increased Israel’s threat level to the highest level.

Donald Trump's vindictive takedown of a man he considers disloyal handed Democrats a real chance of a prize considered an impossible dream just a few months ago, a columnist warned the president Thursday.

By taking out his hurt feelings on Sen. John Cornyn, a 23-year GOP Capitol Hill fixture considered a certainty for re-election in Texas in November's midterms, Trump replaced him with the scandal-battered, widely disliked Trump clone, Ken Paxton.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent attempted to flip the script on a Democratic senator who has doggedly investigated Jeffrey Epstein's financial network, but an analyst questioned his strategy.

President Donald Trump's Treasury secretary used his opening statement to accuse Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), who has been leading a congressional probe into Epstein's finances, of slandering the Treasury Department to cover up his own son's association with the late sex offender as revealed in Justice Department files.

A media expert warned CBS chief Bari Weiss on Tuesday night that she just set off an "underwater earthquake" at her network by showing veteran journalist Scott Pelley the door.

Brian Stelter, CNN's chief media analyst, told Kaitlan Collins on "The Source" that Pelley's firing likely won't go over well within the CBS newsroom and could lead to a costly legal battle. In the termination letter, CBS Executive Producer Nick Bilton said Pelley was dismissed "for cause," which he can challenge in court.

President Donald Trump has declared that he doesn't care about the midterm election, but a pair of analysts agreed that his second term will likely grow even darker once that benchmark has passed.

The 79-year-old president has been even more unbound by the law and political convention in his second term in the White House, and The New Republic's Greg Sargent discussed with writer Molly Jong-Fast what the remaining two years of his term might look like after his Republican congressional majorities have faced voters in the midterms.

President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency cuts are hitting the state of Texas hard, as a long-controlled pest is threatening to resurge and decimate the livestock industry.

The New World screwworm, the larval stage of a parasitic fly known for laying eggs inside livestock animals and letting the maggots chew their way out, could cause massive damage to cattle herds. In the past, the U.S. managed to work together with Mexico to drive back screwworms, but they have been expanding their territory recently.

President Donald Trump’s $1.7 billion “anti-weaponization fund” is even more disliked among voters than previously known, according to new internal GOP polling that has circulated among prominent GOP organizations “in recent days,” sending several Republican operatives into an all-out panic, Zeteo reported Wednesday.

“This could really f--- us,” a “well-connected national GOP consultant” told Zeteo, speaking on the condition of anonymity. “Why do you think everyone’s so upset?”

In his phone call Saturday with the leaders of several Middle East nations, President Donald Trump reportedly “stunned” those on the call into “silence” with a last-minute demand, and to such an extent that the president “asked if they [were] still there,” Zeteo and Axios reported.

The phone call occurred on the same day Trump had announced that a deal to end the U.S. war against Iran was within reach, during which, the president floated a new requirement to leaders of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan and Bahrain, one that he apparently had not raised before, per two U.S. officials who spoke with Axios.
