Trump News

President Donald Trump keeps toying with the use of the Insurrection Act to essentially declare an emergency state that mobilizes military forces in American cities — something he has considered many times in the past, even to potentially seize voting machines after his election loss in 2020.

But he just "blurted out" the real reason he loves the idea, Greg Sargent wrote for The New Republic in an analysis published Wednesday — and it's incredibly revealing.

Former Uvalde, Texas school police officer Adrian Gonzales, 52, was found "not guilty" of 29 counts of child endangerment and abandonment charges stemming from his actions during the Robb Elementary school shooting in 2022.

The shooting was one of the most deadly school shootings in recent history, leaving 19 students and two teachers dead. Parents of slain students have argued that police did not do enough to stop the gunman that day, and have sought to prosecute officers like Gonzalez who were involved.

Mockery abounded on Wednesday after a former NFL sideline reporter who is running for U.S. Senate released her first campaign ad.

Michele Tafoya, who reported from NFL sidelines on NBC's "Sunday Night Football" until 2022, announced this week that she is running for Senate as a Republican in Minnesota, a state that has come under increased scrutiny over social services fraud. Tafoya is running to replace retiring Sen. Tina Smith (D-MN), and is expected to face a hotly contested primary.

A New York Times opinion columnist delivered a dire plea to world leaders on Wednesday night as President Donald Trump announced "the ultimate long-term deal" on Greenland as he fantasizes about seizing the island.

In a stunning reversal, Trump backed off his Greenland power grab at Davos, for now, but not before sending European leaders into full panic mode.

An organizer of the anti-immigration protest in a Minnesota church over the weekend spoke out on Wednesday evening to correct falsehoods that have spread about the event.

Last week, a protest erupted in Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, where one of the pastors is allegedly a leader in the local Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office. The protest sparked outrage within the MAGA movement, and officials in President Donald Trump's Department of Justice have said they plan to prosecute the protesters.

President Donald Trump's immigration agents appear to think their power to arrest and detain Americans is limitless, according to a new report.

The Associated Press reported on a memo from Immigration and Customs Enforcement that it received, and described the document as a "sharp reversal of longstanding guidance meant to respect constitutional limits on government searches." It was leaked at a time when tensions between ICE and the public are running high following the killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and a bevy of other intense confrontations between immigration agents and American citizens.

Fans of President Donald Trump's MAGA movement melted down on Wednesday after a video circulating online showed a postal worker yelling and flipping the bird at immigration agents.

The video was posted by Collin Rugg, co-owner of the conservative news site Trending Politics. In it, a postal worker drives past agents who appear to be conducting a stop. The video captures the driver yelling, "Go home, you f------ losers." As he drives away, the driver sticks his hand out of the window and reveals his middle finger.

A conservative columnist is sounding the alarm that red states face devastating consequences from President Trump's increasingly unpredictable behavior on the world stage.

The fiasco began with Trump's middle-of-the-night social media tirades demanding Denmark cede Greenland, a move that led European troops to flood the territory. European leaders have threatened hundreds of billions in retaliatory tariffs specifically targeting industries in Trump-backing red states.

After weeks of authoritarian threats to crush protests with the military, cancel elections, conquer foreign countries, and send masked agents door-to-door to round up anyone who can’t prove their citizenship, Trump on Wednesday told an already uneasy room full of world leaders that “sometimes you need a dictator.”

The offhanded comment came in the middle of a rambling speech at the reception dinner for the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday, in which Trump congratulated himself on a different rambling speech he’d given earlier that day at the summit.

A major decision in the legal fight over President Donald Trump's responsibility to release the Jeffrey Epstein files may have given lawmakers a way to take down the president, according to one legal expert.

Last year, Congress passed a law requiring the Department of Justice to release all Epstein files in its possession by Dec.19, 2025. The administration has said in court filings that it has released just 1% of the files so far, and will need "several weeks" to review millions more documents that it allegedly discovered. Some of the files have painted Trump's relationship with the disgraced financier and convicted sex criminal in an unsavory light.

America faces significant threats to our nation's infrastructure from hostile actors like Russia, China, and others. But a leaked security threats assessment from President Donald Trump's administration says the greatest threat America faces is within its own borders, according to a new report.

Each year since 2020, the Department of Homeland Security has published a Homeland Threat Assessment, a report that describes the specific threats America faces. A lot of the usual suspects are present: crime, drug gangs, illegal immigration, and so on. But a new crop of characters appeared in this year's report, which has not yet been made public, according to independent journalist Ken Klippenstein.

CNN anchor Jake Tapper had no patience for President Donald Trump's rambling speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos during the opening segment of his show on Wednesday.

Trump traveled to Davos, Switzerland, to attend the annual gathering of the world's economic elite, where he gave a speech that critics derided as "raving" and "mad." The New York Times fact-checked 12 false or misleading claims Trump made about international affairs, including the Kingdom of Denmark's relationship with Greenland, and about Trump's domestic accomplishments.
