President Donald Trump's tariff policies are starting to show up in monthly inflation data, and that could be bad news for his economic policies, according to a new editorial.

The Labor Department's latest jobs report showed that hiring slowed in industries that rely on immigrant labor. Meanwhile, the latest inflation data showed that prices increased for imports like furniture and clothing. Together, those impacts amount to a "little imprint" on the economic data, but the conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board worries that the impacts could increase in the months to come.

President Donald Trump's assertion that he could appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files seems to have delighted one former federal prosecutor.

Joyce Vance, MSNBC legal analyst and law professor at the University of Alabama, wrote in a recent Substack essay that appointing a special counsel could easily become an enjoyable "unfolding drama."

One of President Donald Trump's most vocal supporters recently suggested the president was deliberately insulting the MAGA movement over his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case.

The Daily Beast reported Tuesday that podcast host and far-right influencer Candace Owens used her latest episode to tear into Trump over both the Epstein case and his decision to send more weapons to NATO allies in order to help Ukraine fight Russia. Owens argued the latter was being done in order to distract from the former.

President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that he has the votes to advance the controversial Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins, also known as the GENIUS Act.

The bill seeks to create a legal framework for stablecoins, or digital assets whose value is tied to a physical asset like fiat currency or gold. It has support from the crypto industry, which considers the bill an important step toward mainstreaming digital assets. However, Republicans failed on Tuesday to adopt a procedural motion needed to pass the bill.

President Donald Trump delivered a meandering speech in Pittsburgh on Tuesday in which he couldn’t remember names and shared what seemed to be false anecdotes.

At a Pennsylvania “Energy and Innovation” summit hosted by Rep. Dave McCormick (R-PA), Trump admitted he initially thought artificial intelligence was “not [his] thing.”

President Donald Trump was quickly mocked by political observers on Monday over his highly-teased threat to impose a 100% tariff on Russia if President Vladimir Putin does not agree to a ceasefire deal with Ukraine in 50 days.

Now, it appears Russia is also mocking the American President’s “ultimatums,” declaring they refuse his terms and will continue to attack the sovereign nation of Ukraine until their goals are met: namely, seizing control of key Ukrainian territory and permanently blocking the country’s accession into NATO.

President Donald Trump's favorite negotiating tactic may not be useful in ending the war in Ukraine, according to a new report from CBS News.

On Monday, Trump threatened to impose 100% tariffs on Russia if the country did not end the war in the next 50 days. The threat prompted a stern response from Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov, who claimed Trump's "demands, especially ultimatums, are unacceptable to us."

President Donald Trump's popularity has called into question numerous aspects of American politics, but none more so than democracy itself, according to experts.

In a new essay for The New York Times, columnist Thomas Edsall argues that Trump has been remarkably effective at undermining American democracy. Experts Edsall spoke to said some factors contributing to Trump's assault on democracy include the GOP's sycophancy, his attacks on independent institutions like universities and the judiciary, and his quest to redefine American citizenship through immigration enforcement.

President Donald Trump issued a rambling boast about his contributions to the U.S. economy during a speech at the Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit on Tuesday, seeming to pull a bizarre number out of thin air.

“So in six months, but really three months. But let’s say four months. We have $16 trillion. The other administration had negative. Nobody’s ever seen these numbers?” said Trump.

Far-right conservative Charlie Kirk has been spinning in a circle for 48 hours, and it has left MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace shaking her head.

Over the weekend, Kirk noted at his Turning Point USA conference that all of the new, young, male supporters among the MAGA followers are furious over the lack of transparency over Jeffrey Epstein, who was arrested by President Donald Trump's government in 2019.

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) called for public hangings after President Donald Trump's Department of Justice declined to release files relating to accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

On Tuesday, CNN's Manu Raju asked Burchett if Attorney General Pam Bondi should appoint a special counsel to investigate the Epstein case.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon issued a warning to President Donald Trump after his continued attacks on Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.

The New York Times reported Tuesday that when Dimon spoke to reporters, he cautioned that consequences could be forthcoming if Trump doesn't cool it.

Republicans appear to be facing a defection in their bid to pass President Donald Trump's package to defund foreign aid and public radio.

According to Punchbowl News' Andrew Desiderio, Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) "spoke out against the rescissions effort again at lunch & had a back-and-forth w/Vought, per multiple [Republicans]."
