President Donald Trump is reportedly "determined" to have better sleeping quarters than his wife since she is isolated in the master bedroom, leaving him with the "living room."

New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan reveal the details in Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump, a copy of which the Daily Mail obtained. First lady Melania Trump occupies the traditional master bedroom with an en suite dressing room and bath; Donald Trump occupies the second-floor space typically labeled the "living room" on White House maps, next to the Yellow Oval.

One of the Trump administration's deportation schemes has seen an "unprecedented" rise in activity over the last year that stunned two CNN reporters on Thursday.

Priscilla Alvarez, a CNN correspondent, and Phil Mattingly, who hosted Thursday's broadcast of "The Lead," discussed the Trump administration's efforts to denaturalize U.S. citizens throughout the second administration. Alvarez noted that only 166 denaturalization cases have been filed over the last 18 years, a figure the Trump administration is now trying to surpass in just one year by filing 250 cases.

Maricopa County Recorder Justin Heap, the pro-Trump official in charge of election administration in one of America's largest swing-state counties, got a blistering loss in state court on Thursday, as a panel of appellate judges blocked his sweeping election order against the Board of Supervisors.

Among other things, Heap ordered the board to hand over a trove of election equipment and resources they were withholding from his office, and make a number of changes to the process for approving polling places, including stripping the board of the power to approve new drop box sites without his consent under penalty of felony.

Political analyst Steve Schmidt said the fallout from President Donald Trump's botched Iran war could haunt America for generations in the latest episode of his show, "The Warning," on YouTube.

Schmidt started by praising Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), who called the Trump administration's Iran peace deal a disaster. "This will go down as a tremendous foreign policy blunder," Cassidy said. "Iran ends up stronger, our allies in the region are weaker."

A Republican senator pleaded with reporters to "take a breath" as they tore apart President Donald Trump's Iran deal claim by claim.

Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) found himself on the defensive on Thursday during a Capitol Hill press availability, struggling to answer pointed questions about the memorandum of understanding the Trump administration struck with Iran.

A forthcoming book revealed that President Donald Trump once touted a document that he received comparing him to world leaders like Josef Stalin and Adolf Hitler, which he claimed was written by a "presidential historian" but was actually written by the caddy of one of Trump's golf partners, according to a new report.

New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan interviewed Trump for their forthcoming book, Regime Change, in March, where the president showed the reporters a document that argued he was more powerful than some of the most powerful strongmen in history, like Attila the Hun, Genghis Khan, Napoleon, Stalin, Mao, and Hitler. After doing a little digging, the reporters found out the document was not authored by a presidential historian, as Trump claimed, but was written by Gary Player's long-time caddy, who gave Trump the document at Mar-a-Lago, CNN reported.

At long last, Rep. Tom Kean Jr. (R-NJ) finally has a date for his official, in-person return to Congress after months of absence — but questions still remain about what has been going on in his life.

Kean has been missing for an extended period of time, with even GOP leaders on Capitol Hill kept in the dark. His office has claimed he is suffering from a medical issue, but would not give any details on what that medical issue is. Reporters who went to Kean's house discovered his neighbors also mystified by his disappearance.

Fox News cut away from former President Barack Obama's historic remarks at the opening of his presidential library on Thursday to go to political analyst Reince Priebus.

The abrupt switch came during Obama's dedication speech at the $850 million Obama Presidential Center in Chicago's Jackson Park, where three former presidents and a roster of A-list performers had gathered for an invitation-only ceremony.

While former President Barack Obama threw shade at President Donald Trump in his speech on Thursday, Trump took to his Truth Social account to rant and rage about various things infuriating him.

First, the president lashed out at Utah's move toward a mail-in ballot system, warning that Utah could soon follow Colorado and other states down what he called a leftward political spiral. Trump said he won Utah 'handily' both times he appeared on the ballot there, making the development all the more infuriating to him personally.

A Slate reviewer delivered a scathing verdict on Vice President JD Vance's new memoir, arguing the book accidentally revealed how much politics has "corrupted" its author.

"Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith" is Vance's first book since "Hillbilly Elegy" and was released Tuesday in what many read as a soft launch for a 2028 run. In a review published Thursday, Molly Olmstead wrote that the book is essentially two books crammed into one. For its first 177 pages, she wrote, it's a "thoughtful" meditation on trauma, fatherhood, and Vance's winding path from evangelical Christianity to atheism to Catholicism.
