President Donald Trump likes to claim Thanksgiving costs are down this year, but some holiday hosts are considering extraordinary measures to keep their meals under budget.

The president has claimed costs for this year's meal are down 25 percent, citing a misleadingly priced Thanksgiving meal basket listed online by Walmart, but the Washington Post reported on social media debates over the ethics of charging guests for their dinner.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's so-called Department of War threatened to court-martial Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) after he appeared in a video stating that U.S. troops have a constitutional duty to refuse illegal orders.

"The Department of War has received serious allegations of misconduct against Captain Mark Kelly, USN (Ret.). In accordance with the Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 U.S.C. § 688, and other applicable regulations, a thorough review of these allegations has been initiated to determine further actions, which may include recall to active duty for court-martial proceedings or administrative measures," the Department of Defense said in a statement on Monday.

President Donald Trump is making a fundamental and easily avoidable mistake that's holding back the industrial boom he promised on the campaign trail, according to a report.

The delayed release of September's jobs report showed slightly better than expected job growth, with 119,000 jobs added to the economy, but the data also showed the manufacturing sector lost 6,000 jobs – which means there are now 94,000 fewer people working in American factories than last year ago and 58,000 fewer than when Trump rolled out his tariffs in April, reported Bloomberg.

Former CIA adviser Jim Rickards, a MAGA supporter, admitted that President Donald Trump's plan to end the war in Ukraine was to give Russian President Vladimir Putin "everything he wants."

"The criticism of the plan is that it gives Putin almost everything he wants," Rickards told MAGA influencer Steve Bannon on Monday. "Well, I have news for you. That's how we're going to end the war. That's the only way you're going to end the war. The Russians won, you know, with a lot of casualties and a lot of people."

The Real America's Voice MAGA network has begun pushing back against President Donald Trump's tariffs by highlighting his small-business supporters who have been hit hard.

On Monday, Real America's Voice host David Brody spoke to Kenneth Bernardo of the Bay Crane Company.

The Department of Homeland Security announced the seizure more than $70,000 over the weekend in “unreported currency,” an announcement that drew the ire of Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), who accused the agency of outright “theft.”

On Saturday, U.S. Customs and Border Protection – an agency under DHS – announced that $70,749 in cash had been seized from a driver at the U.S.-Mexico border, in the Texas city of Brownsville on the state’s southern-most point.

Donald Trump's increasing unpopularity with voters is making it easier for the Democratic Party leadership to recruit stronger candidates — thereby increasing the chances the Senate could flip in the upcoming 2026 midterm election, according to a report.

Trump’s name won’t be on the ballot next year, but his presence will loom large as voters head off to the polls, which has Republicans quaking and Democrats succeeding at encouraging some Democratic heavyweights to make the leap and sign up to run against vulnerable Republicans.

Multiple former Trump administration officials are sounding the alarm over the president’s pardons, saying they appear designed to signal to his supporters that breaking the law is acceptable — so long as it’s done to his benefit.

“He is upending a whole process by which you reach a fair and accurate recommendation,” said an attorney who previously helped President Donald Trump with pardons during his first administration, speaking with The Washington Post Monday on the condition of anonymity.
