A new “litmus test” appears to have emerged for Democrats already musing about President Donald Trump’s exit from the White House — one that puts the president’s White House ballroom project at the center of a pivotal question, NOTUS reported Friday.

“Should a Democratic president bulldoze Trump’s ballroom?” the report asks, noting it had “already split” the 2028 Democratic presidential field.

A former staffer from President Donald Trump's first term recalled an anecdote from his very first week in office that has echoed in his mind for years.

Miles Taylor, who served as chief of staff for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, published a new piece for The i Paper calling back a story – which he said probably never even happened – that Trump liked to tell that he argued helps explain his approach to governance.

U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro's plan to scuttle a damaging ruling backfired when a federal judge smacked her down for a second time.

Pirro — the former Fox News host tapped by President Donald Trump as Washington's top federal prosecutor — had asked Chief Judge James Boasberg to wipe his own ruling from the record, arguing the case was moot. Yesterday, Boasberg said no — and took the opportunity to pile on.

An announcement by Donald Trump that he is on the verge of a peace deal with Iran that preempted what was expected to be a major bombing campaign was not greeted with universal approval by members of his MAGA base.

Late Thursday, the president took to his Truth Social platform to write, “Based on the fact that discussions with the Islamic Republic of Iran have been brought to the highest level of Iranian leadership and approved, I have, as President of the United States of America, cancelled the scheduled strikes and bombings against Iran this evening.”

Two Republican senators took their fight over the SAVE America Act public Thursday, with Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) telling Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) bluntly that he doesn't have the votes.

The exchange, which played out in a series of posts on X, pitted Lee — the bill's chief Senate sponsor — against Cornyn, a co-sponsor who lost his Texas primary to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton last month and will leave the Senate in January. At issue is Lee's push to skip recesses and keep the Senate in session until the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act passes.

Amid unprecedented bipartisan backlash, President Donald Trump ditched his original nomination for Director of National Intelligence (DNI) on Thursday and named a new replacement – an announcement that's sparked “Trump-induced chaos” for Senate GOP leaders, Punchbowl News reported Friday.

“As always, the timing around here matters,” said Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), according to Punchbowl News. “It would have been nice if we had had this a couple of days earlier.”

According to branding expert Donnie Deutsch, Donald Trump’s desire to be the central topic of every day will lead him to deny his MAGA crown to either Secretary of State Marco Rubio or Vice President JD Vance.

Deutsch, a former friend of Trump’s going back to their Manhattan days, told the hosts of MS NOW’s “Morning Joe” that the president will instead tab one of his children to keep the Trump name in the headlines.

A chorus of Senate and House Republicans broke sharply with President Donald Trump Thursday over his escalating threats to Iran, with one loyalist invoking the specter of Vietnam and others warning the conflict will cost them in the midterm elections.

The complaints grew louder within hours after Trump threatened to seize Kharg Island, a critical Iranian oil hub, in the latest of a string of statements that have whipsawed allies and adversaries alike — and for many Republican lawmakers, it was a threat too far, reported CNN.

Should a desperate Donald Trump sign off on the latest deal with Iran that led him to call off a major attack late Thursday, he would suffer a “major humiliation” based on leaked details.

That is according to Insider editor Michael Weiss, who appeared on MS NOW’s “Morning Joe” on Friday morning and claimed that the president has come to the realization that he was duped into the whole endeavor.

The White House quietly installed a "babysitter" to keep Robert F. Kennedy Jr in check amid terror the vaccine-sceptic is about to help tank the GOP's midterm performance, a report claimed Friday.

The secretary of health and human services' most powerful aide has been installed to keep Kennedy from going off the rails, several Democrats told Politico.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event slated to be held at the White House on Sunday is underwater with a majority of Americans, many of whom have bombarded its promotional posts with references to Jeffrey Epstein, Axios reported Friday.

According to a survey of more than 9,200 adults conducted by YouGov, 51% of Americans either “somewhat” or “strongly” disapprove of the event, officially labeled UFC Freedom 250 and scheduled for Trump's 80th birthday.

A prominent psychologist is sounding the alarm about President Donald Trump's increasingly erratic behavior, warning that his fixation on Washington construction projects is a sign of significant mental decline.

Dr. John Gartner, a clinical psychologist and former Johns Hopkins University Medical School professor, told the Daily Beast that Trump's rambling tangents about pet projects — the White House Ballroom, the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, a planned Triumphal Arch modeled after Paris's Arc de Triomphe — aren't just political theater.
