Top Democrats on the foreign affairs and armed services committees sounded off against President Donald Trump's latest turn toward China in a recent letter, according to a new report.

Fox News reported on Wednesday that Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY) sent a letter to Under Secretary for Industry and Security Jeffrey Kessler on Monday regarding Trump's decision to allow Nvidia to sell its H200 chips to China.

Podcast host Joe Rogan blasted President Donald Trump for distorting history with his so-called Presidential Walk of Fame.

During his Tuesday podcast, Rogan and comedian Tom Segura discussed recent changes at the White House.

When it became clear that Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) was going to drop out of the race to challenge Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, allies of President Donald Trump privately reached out begging her to change her mind, but to no avail.

Stefanik, a former moderate Republican lawmaker turned hard MAGA loyalist in the Trump era, announced her campaign to great fanfare and a few widely-mocked stumbles in early November, vowing to defeat Democrats in a staunchly liberal bastion state. But after just a few weeks, she announced she is ending her campaign and retiring from Congress to spend more time with her family.

The Department of Justice announced what could be "a million more documents" related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

In a Christmas Eve post on X, the DOJ said that the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York and the FBI located the documents.

Former Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger (IL) called out the Trump administration for waiting until the week of the Christmas holiday to release files from the Jeffrey Epstein case — even though the documents were required to be shared with the public earlier.

"So you guys may be wondering why it is that they are releasing some of the Epstein files today, you know, Christmas Eve, and tomorrow, Christmas Eve. And I'll tell you a very simple reason, because this is like day one in politics stuff that you learn," Kinzinger explained on Tuesday. "When you want to bury bad news, when you don't want it to get much coverage or when you want it to get like as little coverage as possible, you dump it on a holiday."

The Supreme Court's decision blocking President Trump from deploying the National Guard into American cities has alarmed legal experts who fear the ruling may inadvertently create a pathway for the administration to invoke the Insurrection Act.

Trump and his aides have repeatedly suggested they would invoke the rarely used law, which would be politically unpopular but give him broad authority to deploy the military for domestic law enforcement, and Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote in a footnote that the court's opinion "could cause the president to use the U.S. military more than the National Guard," reported CNN.

Lara Trump decried the Supreme Court's decision preventing her father-in-law from militarizing the streets of Chicago.

"I think it's such a shame, obviously," Trump told Fox News in a Christmas Eve interview. "You hate to see a ruling like this because our ICE officers around the country have seen an increase of a thousand percent in assaults on them."

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was accused of stealing a video of troops wearing Santa hats from a freelance reporter who covers the alt-right and focuses on exposing Nazis.

On Christmas Eve, Hegseth shared a video of National Guard troops dressed in Santa garb. The video did not include any attribution.
