The Republican congressional leadership that was on the verge of putting together a comprehensive child care package that Democrats found agreeable had the rug pulled out from under them by Donald Trump who accidentally blurted out his private thoughts.

According to the Washington Post, Republican and Democratic congressional leadership had made significant progress on a child care bill designed to address the costs families say are driving up expenses across the country. Lawmakers from both parties had signed on in record numbers requesting funding for early childhood programs.

Then along came Trump in a characteristic unguarded moment.

"We can't take care of day care. We're a big country, we have 50 states. We have all these other people, we're fighting wars. We can't take care of day care," Trump said at an Easter lunch on April 1, according to a video the White House posted online and later took down after it went viral.

The admission contradicted the administration's official position. Trump's domestic spending package had expanded tax credits for working parents and maintained about $20 billion in combined funding for Head Start and the Child Care and Development Block Grant — measures adopting elements of a bipartisan bill from Sens. Katie Boyd Britt (R-AL) and Tim Kaine (D-VA).

The White House immediately leaped into damage control, claiming Trump was merely referring to allegations of fraudulent payments for child care centers in Minnesota, the Post report noted before adding that a White House official pointed to Vice President JD Vance's fraud task force, saying it would ensure the programs' "viability for the Americans they're meant to serve."

Sen. Tim Kaine isn't buying it.

President Donald Trump said he was "prepared" to name up to three additional conservative justices to the U.S. Supreme Court.

During a Wednesday interview, Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo told Trump that there was speculation that Justice Samuel Alito would soon retire.

President Donald Trump once again posted a controversial AI-generated, religious themed image of himself on Wednesday — this time an image of Jesus Christ embracing him, with a supporter proclaiming he might be "God's Trump card."

This comes just days after even many of his own supporters called him out for blasphemy over an image of himself as Jesus — which he claimed he didn't realize and thought it depicted himself as a doctor — as well as picking a fight with Pope Leo XIV for criticizing the war in Iran.

President Donald Trump sparked another round of concerns about his cognitive health with a disordered interview with Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo.

The president shrugged off Chinese aggression, touted Republican chances in the midterms, predicted the war with Iran was nearly over, lamented that he did not take over Greenland and made a hash of the timeline for his replacement for the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Former Republican rising star Elise Stefanik left not only her seat in the House representing New York, but a massive gap in campaign funding that has some of her colleagues scrambling to fill the void.

According to a report from Politico’s Playbook, the former House member who started out as a moderate before becoming one of Donald Trump’s most avid MAGA supporters, was able to use her ties to the president to become a prodigious fundraiser known to share the wealth while representing a safe GOP seat.

In the face of intense criticism for posting an AI-generated image of himself as Jesus Christ, President Donald Trump doubled down and posted yet another religious-themed image of himself to his Truth Social platform on Wednesday morning.

Trump's post consisted of a screenshot of an image of Jesus embracing Trump, posted by an account on X which accompanied it with, "I was never a very religious man ... but doesn't it seem, with all these satanic, demonic, child sacrificing monsters being exposed ... that God might be playing his Trump card!"

United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby went straight to the top last month, pitching President Donald Trump on a blockbuster merger with rival American Airlines during a private meeting.

According to Axios, the move signals a seismic shift in how corporate America now operates: if you want antitrust approval, skip the bureaucrats and go directly to Trump.

Early Wednesday morning, Donald Trump took to his Truth Social account to boast that he will be able to open the Strait of Hormuz for the benefit of China and he expects the country's leadership to appreciate his efforts.

With shipping at almost a complete standstill due to Trump’s war on Iran, the president claimed that China, normally a US adversary, will benefit from his latest attempt at a diplomatic maneuver as ceasefire talks drag on.

Moments after MS NOW host Joe Scarborough took Vice President JD Vance to the woodshed over his hectoring Pope Leo XIV on theology, the entire panel has a good laugh about the tiny crowd that showed up to see him at Akins Ford Arena on the University of Georgia campus in Athens.

As co-host Jonathan Lemire started to comment on Vance’s appearance at the Turning Point USA event, the "Morning Joe" producers showed a clip of the arena that appeared about twenty percent full, with the few attendees closest to the stage and the rest of the room empty.
