President Donald Trump lobbed a new threat in escalating the trade war with Canada.

The 80-year-old president has been trading insults with Ontario's outspoken premier Doug Ford since Prime Minister Mark Carney backed out of trade talks, and Trump threatened to take symbolic control of Lake Ontario in response.

President Donald Trump's standing with Republicans will be put to the test on Tuesday, and if he comes up on the short end, he may never recover.

According to a report from Politico, the president has bet it all by throwing every bit of weight he has behind Sen. Darline Graham Nordone (R-SC) to be on the ballot in November.

CNN political commentator Charles Blow flipped a conservative panelist's guilt-by-association attack back on Donald Trump during a heated Monday night clash, invoking Jeffrey Epstein and Trump's affinity for authoritarian leaders in a comeback that quickly ricocheted across social media.

The clash unfolded on "NewsNight" with host Abby Phillip, where Blow and National Review columnist Caroline Downey are frequent sparring partners. Downey was pressing the argument that Democratic candidates campaigning alongside progressive streamer Hasan Piker should be judged by that association.

Conservative judge Michael Luttig warned Monday that President Donald Trump seems likely to push Congress into a "high noon" scenario if the midterms don't go well for Republicans.

If public polling is any indication, Democrats could win both the House of Representatives and the Senate after the midterms, which would significantly imperil the Trump administration. Trump seems to have preemptively dispatched his son-in-law Jared Kushner to negotiate some kind of truce with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), as reports of a meeting between the two men have rankled political analysts across the spectrum.

President Donald Trump seems to have dispatched his "secret weapon" in hopes of staving off the one thing he is terrified of happening, according to one expert.

David Rothkopf, global affairs columnist for The Daily Beast and a former international trade official in the Clinton White House, argued during a new episode of "The Daily Beast Podcast" that Jared Kushner's secret meeting with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) signals that Trump is terrified of being impeached again. Kushner wouldn't have met with Jeffries unless the White House is preparing for Democrats to regain control of the House of Representatives after the midterms.

The Supreme Court undermined its own prior rulings to give President Donald Trump a win on his mail-in ballot executive order, GOP legal expert Ben Ginsberg told CNN's Kaitlan Collins.

The order requires the U.S. Postal Service to restrict delivery of mail ballots to states that haven't handed over vast troves of voter information to the Department of Homeland Security — which, if implemented now, could lead to widespread chaos.

Fox News host Jesse Watters was cornered during a fiery interview on Fox News over a "personal question."

Watters interviewed Abdul El-Sayed, a progressive in Michigan who earned the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate race, on Monday, where the two got into a tense back-and-forth about one political topic that made Watters a little uncomfortable. During one debate about health care, El-Sayed backed Watters into a corner that the host was all too eager to escape.

The Bulwark's Will Sommer took a deep dive on Monday into how the Trump administration tried to feed information to a trusted MAGA influencer — and her paranoia of "entrapment" set off a "circular firing squad" within the pro-Trump movement.

The controversy surrounds Jennica Pounds, better known as "Data Republican."

President Donald Trump's latest round of trade war against Canada is self-defeating, warned the conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board — because he'll take the U.S. auto industry down in the process.

"Mr. Trump is angry that Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney over the weekend vowed to retaliate dollar-for-dollar against his latest tariff barrage," wrote the board. For that reason, he is imposing a 50 percent tariff on “all Cars, Trucks, both large and small, Automotive Parts, and Steel,” according to his Truth Social posting.

President Donald Trump has put himself in an "unusual position" after he overlooked a populist groundswell that a younger Trump may have pounced on, according to a new analysis.

According to recent polling, upwards of three-quarters of Americans are against building new artificial intelligence data centers. Yet Trump has continued to hawk data centers, claiming recently that communities that resist them are making a "big mistake" because of their potential to generate revenue.

President Donald Trump’s plummeting approval rating shows Republicans are increasingly turning against him as an escalating Middle East conflict drives up gas prices, a former administration insider said Monday.

Sarah Matthews, who served as a Trump White House deputy press secretary during his first White House term, sounded the alarm on CNN’s “Erin Burnett OutFront” after a new poll showed Trump’s approval rating hitting an all-time low of 33%, with 65% disapproving.

Donald Trump’s ever-present aide Natalie Harp attended Sunday’s Freedom 250 Grand Prix event in the president’s official viewing box - but she was nowhere to be found in the White House’s official video of the event.

Harp, 35, appeared in numerous photographs and videos from the Washington, D.C. event, but was largely excluded from the White House’s tightly edited social media footage, The Daily Beast reported Monday.

The Republican Party desperately wanted the Supreme Court to overturn a 40-year precedent — but now they're getting more than they bargained for.

The GOP threw its weight behind a landmark 2024 case, Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, that overturned the Chevron doctrine, the precedent that judges must defer to experts at federal agencies when interpreting the law. The Chevron doctrine was ironically written by a conservative Supreme Court at a time when the lower courts were more liberal, and agency experts were more conservative — but in 2024, the reverse was true, so the GOP wanted the precedent gone.
