A multi-billion-dollar natural gas export company just made its first and only federal political donation ever, and it landed squarely in the pocket of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's son-in-law.

Fairwood Peninsula Energy handed $125,000 in May to Northwoods Future PAC, a super PAC boosting Michael Alfonso's bid for Duffy's old Wisconsin congressional seat, according to FEC records reviewed by Politico. Alfonso faces a crowded primary Tuesday and has previously drawn scrutiny for scooping up transportation-industry PAC money despite having zero background in transportation policy.

The "ludicrous" rantings of President Donald Trump's officials about vaccines in the Oval Office on Monday stunned a panel on CNN.

Trump held a bill-signing ceremony for an executive order that revised the pediatric vaccine schedule to 11 vaccines from 18. During the ceremony, Trump described the bill as a “major victory for parents' rights, religious and constitutional rights, and for the gold standard science.” Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. also amplified the conspiracy theory that vaccines are linked to autism during the event by announcing his agency would release findings on alleged connections "as soon as they are ready." Stephen Miller, Trump's deputy chief of staff, called it a "medical travesty" for children to be "pumped full of vaccines."

President Donald Trump and his staff orchestrated an "elaborate ruse" to sneak out of Turkey on a military aircraft, leaving the press on a "decoy" Air Force One flight.

The elaborate deception was triggered by a credible Iranian assassination threat detected as Trump left the NATO summit in Turkey, reported The Washington Post on Monday. The operation was so tightly held that it fooled even people traveling with the president.

Legendary reporter Dan Rather had nothing but scorn for Trump's failure in the Iran war, as he continues to make demands of the Islamic Republic and they appear uninterested in engaging.

Rather, writing for his Steady Substack, identified the real reason this was inevitable all along.

The new hairdo that President Donald Trump unveiled recently revealed something startling about his mental decline, according to the president's niece.

Mary Trump, a psychologist and author, said during a recent interview on the "Deep State Radio" podcast with hosts Riley Fessler and political expert David Rothkopf, global affairs columnist for The Daily Beast, that the fluffy new coif that Trump sported during a rally in Las Vegas harkened back to her grandfather's battle with alzheimers. Mary Trump shared a portion of the interview on her Substack, "The Good In Us."

The FBI famously opened a counterintelligence probe in 2016 to look at whether Russia's interference in the previous year's election was a threat to national security.

That probe never seemed to get off the ground, unlike the investigation into President Donald Trump, which at least was carried to its conclusion. But the reason for this was never public — until Trump released a trove of classified documents last month that just happened to provide the answer.

Analysts warned on Monday that President Donald Trump is running out of options to end the war against Iran, the New York Times reported.

Trump launched the war at the behest of Israel and Saudi Arabia more than five months ago, claiming that it would prevent Iran from ever developing a nuclear weapon — something that was already guaranteed by the 2015 Iran nuclear deal negotiated by the Obama administration that Trump tore up — and would present an opportunity for the people of Iran to establish a democratic government. Since then, the war has caused the global price of gas to skyrocket, and further complicated the economic problems that Trump promised voters he would solve as the midterm elections draw near.

President Donald Trump admitted to some surprising common ground with the Democratic Socialists of America during his event signing an executive order on childhood vaccines.

In his comments, Trump lashed out at "the radicalism and the craziness of the candidates and the stupidity of what they're suggesting," listing off some of the things the DSA platform wants to do as "let's get rid of the Supreme Court, let's get rid of the presidency, let's get rid of the Senate." He has also repeatedly attacked DSA candidates as "communists."

President Donald Trump drew ridicule and alarm after claiming "nothing bad can happen" from his executive order to limit childhood vaccines.

Trump signed the executive order Monday in the Oval Office, calling for the number of diseases vaccinated against to be reduced to 11, according to CNBC.

A legal expert shredded the "fever dream" that seems to be animating President Donald Trump's latest push to limit birthright citizenship.

Harry Litman, a former federal prosecutor, argued in a new essay on his Substack, "Talking Feds," that Trump's new executive order, which creates new exceptions for birthright citizenship and places limits on so-called "birth tourism," is destined to fail at the Supreme Court. He described the move as another iteration of Trump's "favorite play" — taking a loss and calling it a win — that revealed the president hasn't grasped how resoundingly the Supreme Court rejected him the last time he tried this scheme.

Before he became president, Donald Trump had a bizarre fixation on a scandalous aspect of the office, biographer Michael Wolff claimed Monday.

According to The Daily Beast, Wolff wrote in his Substack, "Howl," that deceased child trafficker Jeffrey Epstein told him Trump "knew his star turn on The Apprentice was fading and that he urgently needed a new platform for the promotion of Donald Trump — indeed, he could talk of little else, how to avoid television’s fate: cancellation.”
