President Donald Trump is likely planning to fire another one of his cabinet members because they've consistently exhibited a "fatal" flaw, according to one of the president's biographers.

Journalist Michael Wolff, who has written four books about Trump, said during a new episode of "Inside Trump's Head" with co-host Hugh Dougherty, executive editor of The Daily Beast, that Trump will likely fire Secretary of State Marco Rubio because Rubio has upstaged Trump at times. Wolff said that is a "fatal" flaw in Trumpworld.

President Donald Trump's Department of Justice sparked outrage on Tuesday after reports that the agency is holding "internal discussions" about settling a massive lawsuit.

The New York Times reported that the DOJ is considering settling the $10 billion lawsuit that Trump filed against the Internal Revenue Service over the leak of his 2019 tax returns. Trump contended in the lawsuit that the IRS should have done more to prevent his returns from being publicized.

A MAGA Representative upbraided a 10-year-old for asking her about electric vehicle subsidies for a class assignment, and got mocked by political analysts and observers in return.

Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC), 82, recently received a letter from a fourth grader asking about a $5,000 tax rebate for new electric vehicle purchases, according to reports. Foxx responded to the letter by telling the young student that the national debt matters more, and that asking for such a tax rebate would take "money out of the pockets of hardworking people." She also sent the fourth grader an article about the "urgent crisis" of the national debt.

The Wall Street Journal editorial board was none too impressed with President Donald Trump's latest harebrained idea for a place the United States can conquer.

"Move over Greenland and Canada. President Trump told Fox News Monday that he is 'seriously considering' making Venezuela the 51st state," wrote the board. "Hmmm. Does that mean Venezuela would have to hold an election, like America’s current 50 states?"

President Donald Trump's Department of Justice released a stunning memo on Tuesday night claiming that Trump has the authority to take state voter rolls — a claim that directly contradicts several federal court rulings finding the DOJ has no such authority.

The memo was released at a time when Trump's efforts to obtain voter rolls have been repeatedly stifled by the courts. The Justice Department has sued 30 states and the District of Columbia for refusing to provide unredacted voter rolls containing sensitive information like driver's licenses and partial Social Security numbers. Federal judges in California, Michigan, and Oregon have all ruled against the DOJ, finding it lacks statutory authority to compel states to turn over voter data.

A former federal prosecutor flagged a startling fact on Tuesday that could doom President Donald Trump's high-profile prosecution of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man whose wrongful deportation to El Salvador became one of the most prominent immigration cases in the country.

Glenn Kirschner, a former assistant U.S. Attorney in Washington, D.C., said during a new episode of his podcast "Justice Matters" that the Trump administration's prosecution of Abrego Garcia could be doomed because the administration has treated him differently than others in similar situations.

Jeffrey Epstein's relationship with the British royal family may be much deeper than previously reported, according to one of the royal family's biographers.

Andrew Lownie, who has written two books about the royal family, including a biography of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's relationship with Epstein, revealed during a new episode of the Daily Beast’s "The Royalist Podcast" that another member of the royal family also kept company with Epstein. Lownie said that Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, had dinner with Epstein in the mid-1990s and may have helped give him credibility he didn't deserve.

President Donald Trump dumbfounded CNN's Erin Burnett on Tuesday after he shrugged off the economic pain Americans are feeling because of his war with Iran.

Burnett played a clip of Trump speaking to reporters outside the White House during the opening segment of her show, "OutFront," where he was asked about what Americans should think of the economic toll the war is taking. The question was asked at a time when the most recent economic data showed inflation spiked 3.8% over the last year, the highest reading in multiple years, driven primarily by energy price increases resulting from the war.

President Donald Trump has found himself in an "unprecedented position of political weakness" as poll after poll shows his policies are dragging the GOP down ahead of the midterms, according to one analyst.

Rick Wilson, co-founder of The Lincoln Project, said in a recent podcast episode that the GOP's efforts to redraw several state election maps are a sign of how weak Trump has become as the 2026 midterms approach. He argued that Trump has effectively erased any positive messaging Republicans can use to attract voters because the war in Iran has caused consumer prices to surge and has eaten away at the gains that Trump's tax cuts would have given voters.
