White House health adviser Calley Means suggested "demonic forces" were to blame for chronic childhood diseases.

During an interview this week on Real America's Voice, host Steve Gruber asked Means if President Donald Trump and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could make a difference for the nation's children.

White House columnist Brian Karem confessed he "stifled a laugh" as President Donald Trump's team announced in a news release, “On Earth Day, we finally have a president who follows science.”

It's one of many things Karem said Trump uttered in recent days to brag about himself and an administration suffering under several scandals.

Key members of President Donald Trump's administration are in a backstage "civil war" over whether or not to ease energy sanctions on Russia, The Daily Beast reported on Thursday.

The sanctions, put in place to try to starve Russia of the funding to continue its brutal military invasion and occupation of Ukraine, sent shockwaves through global markets when adopted, forcing Europe to pivot away from its longstanding reliance on Russian oil and gas.

President Donald Trump's administration is barreling head-first into another war — and a defense expert warned it was going to be a propaganda nightmare.

The conflict Mohammed al-Basha, a Yemeni defense analyst, referred to is the bombing campaign launched against the Houthis in Yemen, an operation that got a lot of attention for being at the center of the Signal scandal circling Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

President Donald Trump plans to sign a presidential memorandum on Thursday that he will cast as cracking down on foreign contributions in American elections, according to an exclusive report from Politico.

Caught in the crosshairs is a major online donation platform that funds Democratic and progressive causes and elections.

On Thursday, President Donald Trump's administration lost another procedural motion in one of its legal battles brought by lawyer Norm Eisen, a former White House ethics czar.

Eisen won an injunction for the League of United Latin American Citizens, or LULAC, and others in a lawsuit against Trump's administration. Trump signed an executive order that "changed the rules of federal elections," the plaintiffs said in the court filing.

President Donald Trump deflected away questions about how intent he is to force Ukraine to surrender territory to Russia as the terms of a peace deal during a joint meeting with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.

With Støre was Jens Stoltenberg, the country's minister of finance and the former Secretary General of the NATO alliance.

A surprise decision by Gov. Kim Reynolds (R-IA) to not seek re-election in 2026 has given Democrats in the state hope that they can snag the seat in what is expected to be a midterm referendum on Donald Trump's return to the Oval Office.

According to a report from the Washington Post, Donald Trump's decision to enact tariffs that have severely impacted American farmers will likely not be forgotten when election time comes around in a state where agricultural policy is always at the top of the ticket no matter who the nominee is.

As Iowa Democratic Party Chairwoman Rita Hart put it, "There are a lot of people who are seeing this as an opportunity," before adding that Trump's tariffs will be front and center in the campaign.

According to the Post's Patrick Svitek, "In Iowa — the second biggest agricultural exporting state in the country — not all Republicans have been fully onboard with Trump’s sweeping — and ever-changing — tariffs, which, at a minimum, have created deep uncertainty for farmers who make a living selling their crops to other countries."

Sam Newton, a spokesperson for the Democratic Governors Association, claimed, “It’s definitely a race we’re keeping our eye on. We believe that there’s a real opportunity for a competitive race with a strong candidate who fits the state well.”

President Donald Trump's official store has started selling "Trump 2028" hats years before the next presidential election.

The new hats showed up on the official "Trump Store" website on Thursday for $50 each. Eric Trump was seen wearing the hat in an image circulating on social media. "Gulf of America" hats were also available.

President Donald Trump's second presidency got off to a fast start, but a columnist said it's "falling apart" as it nears his 100th day in office.

The president greatly exaggerated his mandate and governed accordingly, but his approval rating has drooped underwater in multiple polls and he's already more unpopular at this point than any other president besides himself, and his major policies are even less popular, according to the Washington Post's Aaron Blake.
