Administration officials working with Vice President JD Vance have expanded their efforts to weed out fraud, moving on from Medicare to unemployment insurance in all fifty states.

According to Wall Street Journal reporting, acting Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling sent a letter to state governors warning the administration would use "every available tool" to protect taxpayer money.

President Donald Trump's plans for regime change at the Federal Reserve may not go according to his plan, one analyst warned on Wednesday.

Trump waged a pressure campaign against former Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell during the president's second term because of Powell's reluctance to lower interest rates, as the U.S. economy continued to grapple with stubborn inflation. That fight ended when Powell's term as chairman expired in May, and Trump's choice to replace him, Kevin Warsh, took over.

A former Trump administration official is warning that the president's pattern of favoring authoritarian leaders over traditional democratic allies has hardened into something far more consequential than a personal quirk.

Miles Taylor, who served as chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security, published an op-ed for The i Paper tracing the warning signs back to 2018, when President Donald Trump arrived late to a G7 summit in Canada, lectured allied leaders on trade, and publicly disavowed a joint communiqué he had just signed – all while calling for Russia's reinstatement into the group.

A former close friend of a candidate endorsed by President Donald Trump has confirmed that sex scandal allegations against the would-be congressman are "how I remember it."

Matt Hilsabeck, a former police partner and business associate of Mark Lamb, the Trump-backed Republican running for Arizona's Fifth Congressional District on a platform of "faith, family and freedom," spoke on the record to The Arizona Republic to corroborate an ongoing investigation into the former Pinal County sheriff's alleged yearslong history of sexting, nude photo sharing, and intimate encounters outside his marriage.

Fox News’ Peter Doocy was interrupted Wednesday by President Donald Trump when pressing for answers on the tentative peace deal Washington reached with Tehran last weekend, a deal that has sparked outrage among the more hawkish wing of the Republican Party.

Details of the deal, which is reportedly a 14-point memorandum of understanding, include an agreement that the United States would lift all sanctions on Iran and help the Middle East nation gain access to a $300 billion reconstruction fund. Critics have noted the deal’s similarities to provisions in the 2015 Iran nuclear deal reached by former President Barack Obama, which also saw the unfreezing of Iranian funds, a provision Trump had frequently criticized.

One of President Donald Trump's nominees told senators that a magazine cover depicting a Jewish man with horns and a pitchfork was not antisemitic.

Sen. Ruben Gallego, an Arizona Democrat, confronted Allen over a cover his publication ran in the 1990s.

Donald Trump’s much-anticipated press conference to address his Iran peace deal didn’t last long on MS NOW, with host Alicia Menendez cutting in as he discussed the war before taking questions, with the president sounding both hoarse and out of breath.

Before taking questions, the president jumped from topic to topic about the attack on the Middle Eastern country as he was flanked by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.

While the U.S. war against Iran may soon come to an end if the tentative deal agreed to on Sunday holds, President Donald Trump appears poised to launch another “unsuccessful war,” only this one targeting Americans, journalists Andrew Perez and Asawin Suebsaeng argued Wednesday in an analysis published in Zeteo.

A Trump advisor told Zeteo that they considered the tentative Iran deal a “good thing” given that it could help the administration renew its focus on Trump’s immigration crackdown.

Donald Trump’s pride in getting an Iran deal done, despite accusations that it was a complete capitulation to Iran’s leadership, led MS NOW’s Stephanie Ruhle to haul out the “Trump Always Chickens Out” (TACO) taunt.

During a discussion of the deal with former diplomat Richard Haas and MS NOW’s David Rohde, she asked the two experts what the US got out of the deal.
