Workers erected black screening around the drained Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on Monday, hiding it from public view and fueling accusations of a "cover-up."

"We drained the beautiful 'Reflecting Pool' today in order to fix the scars and damage that was done by the Vandals two weeks ago," President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social late Monday. "The slashes were 300 yards long, and the floor of the pool was cut and then pulled upward, with great force, by these thugs."

President Donald Trump alarmed an international relations expert on Tuesday after he backed down from his latest threat to the Iranian regime.

On Monday, Trump said he planned to impose a 20% toll on ships traveling through the Strait of Hormuz in response to the Iranian regime's latest attempt to reclose the waterway. The move also called into question the strength of the memorandum of understanding that the Trump administration signed with the Iranians, which was supposed to guarantee the reopening of the Strait without the imposition of fees or tolls.

A shadowy $2 million payment that President Donald Trump reported on his recent financial disclosure raised new questions about Trump's efforts to profit from the presidency.

The New York Times reported on Tuesday that Trump's holding company received a $2 million payment from a South Korean business that is under investigation by Trump's trade authorities. The report noted that the financial disclosure only offered a brief, "cryptic explanation" for the payment.

President Donald Trump has reportedly found a way to cram even more golden garnish on the Oval Office walls just a day after a photo of his tube of Krazy Glue went viral.

CNN White House producer DJ Judd first spotted the adhesive on Monday evening, as Trump fielded reporters' questions about Iran from behind the Resolute Desk.

The Trump administration is coming under fire for its response to the outbreak of cyclosporiasis, a foodborne illness that causes explosive diarrhea and has so far been documented in more than two dozen states.

Public health officials still have not identified the source of the outbreak, which typically spreads via contaminated produce.

A former Department of Homeland Security official didn't mince words on CNN on Tuesday, describing how the agency is failing to meet its mission and endangering the American public.

In the last week, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers have killed two people during traffic stops. One of them was a 26-year-old Colombian man living in Maine, and the other was a 52-year-old immigrant in Houston who was in line to obtain his work authorization. Both killings sparked protests and outrage from community members after videos appeared to contradict ICE's narrative about the incidents.

Hours before U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were instructed to immediately halt vehicle stops, which have led to fatal shootings of innocent immigrants in Texas and Maine, an ICE official called for a reset and recalibration before things grow worse due to stressed-out street agents.

Under new Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, immigrant round-ups have been ramping up but, hopefully, without all the hoopla that was allowed by his predecessor Kristi Noem, who was fired by Donald Trump.

A former senior Homeland Security (DHS) official is warning Americans about President Donald Trump's upcoming address on Thursday, drawing on firsthand experience from the first Trump administration to predict what the president intends to discuss.

“The White House hastily manufactured a Big Lie in 2020 that the election was stolen from Trump, but in the frenzied aftermath, it couldn’t really find a culprit,” wrote Miles Taylor, who served in both the Trump and Bush administrations, in an analysis published Tuesday on his Substack.

Rep. Tom Kean Jr. (R-NJ), who disappeared on his colleagues and constituents for months, has returned to restart his re-election bid only to find that Donald Trump’s administration has made the road a lot rockier than it was before.

Kean was mysteriously missing with no public explanation until he finally admitted that he was being treated for depression, and now he needs to deal with a decision by the Department of Homeland Security to renew a bid to resurrect a controversial detention facility proposal that had already united Republicans and Democrats in the North Jersey district in "unified opposition," Politico is reporting.

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito could use a retirement announcement to interfere in the midterm elections, a new analysis warns.

A new analysis by Off Message writer Brian Beutler found a risk that Alito could use an unconventional retirement announcement to influence the outcome of November's election. Beutler called it "LEGAL judicial election interference, and another heist."
