A video from CBS News posted to X on New Year's Day, designed to introduce the journalistic path recently promoted CBS News anchor Tony Dokoupil will be taking, was greeted with no small measure of skepticism on social media.

Since the controversial Bari Weiss was picked to run the CBS News division despite a lack of experience in television news, every move has been scrutinized and Dokoupil’s pledge reaffirmed concerns about the dismantling of journalistic standards.

In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Donald Trump expressed dismay about the reporting that he had undergone what White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt called “advanced imaging” during a recent medical check-up.

Trump’s health has been an object of increased speculation during his second term due to notable swelling of his ankles, constant bruising on his hands and his penchant for dozing off during televised press availabilities.

President Donald Trump raged about alleged social services fraud committed in Minnesota during a brief appearance at his New Year's Eve party at Mar-a-Lago on Wednesday.

The debate about social services fraud in Minnesota reappeared this week after a right-wing YouTuber posted a video alleging he found $100 million in child care fraud at Somali-run child care centers. A top Republican in the state has admitted she steered the YouTuber to the centers, all of which had recently had their operations paused.

Fans of Donald Trump were left scratching their heads on Wednesday as the White House attempted to brag about key "wins" for his administration this year.

In a post to X, the official White House account wrote in all capital letters, "2025 MAGA wins: Foreign Affairs." Accompanying the post was a photo touting Trump's foreign policy accomplishments, including the misleading claim that he has ended eight wars. It also touted a deal for NATO members to raise defense spending to 5% of GDP and Trump's dozens of meetings with foreign leaders.

A former federal prosecutor on Wednesday slammed the House GOP for releasing the transcript of former special counsel Jack Smith's deposition earlier this month over the New Year's holiday.

House Republicans interviewed Smith for several hours this month about his investigation into President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Following the interview, Smith called on Republicans to release the entire transcript. Republicans obliged on Wednesday by releasing the 255-page document and an eight-hour video of the interview.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt insisted that President Donald Trump "absolutely" wants to revoke the citizenship of Somali-Americans who are convicted of fraudulently running daycare facilities in Minnesota.

"It's something the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of State is currently looking at right now," Leavitt told Fox News on Wednesday. "It's something this administration has already done. And we know that there are liberal activist judges across the country who will try to block and tackle this administration from pursuing justice at every turn."

A prominent reporter in the Jeffrey Epstein case floated a startling possibility on Tuesday that powerful donors could be leaning on President Donald Trump to quash any damning information from being released by his Justice Department.

Julie K. Brown, an investigative reporter with the Miami Herald, joined former GOP operative Tim Miller on a podcast for The Bulwark to discuss the case.

A recent opinion by Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, which has all of the appearances that he wants the expression “Kavanaugh stops” to fade into obscurity, was panned by Slate legal analysts Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern on Tuesday.

At issue was Kavanaugh, appointed to the nation’s highest court by Donald Trump in 2018 despite concerns about his past, concurring on a ruling banning the use of National Guard in Chicago, where he clarified, or “walked back” as Lithwick and Stern accused, his stance on which law enforcement stops pass constitutional muster.
