President Donald Trump proclaimed the Strait of Hormuz has been re-opened, but that's not exactly how he put it.

The 79-year-old president notified Americans that Iran would begin to allow "full passage" in what he inaccurately identified as "the Strait of Iran," the narrow waterway between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman that has been closed to most commercial shipping traffic since Trump authorized a joint U.S.-Israel military operation.

Liberal justices on the U.S. Supreme Court are reportedly "slow walking" a redistricting decision to effectively deter additional states from trying the tactic before the midterm elections.

On Friday, former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer told War Room host Steve Bannon that liberals on the court were plotting to prevent Republican-led states from gerrymandering districts ahead of November by refusing to submit a minority opinion in a Louisiana redistricting case that is likely to give states additional latitude in the future.

Even some of President Donald Trump's biggest fans are starting to believe his first assassination attempt was staged, and they want him to publicly admit it.

Conspiracy theories proliferated almost immediately after a 20-year-old gunman fired off shots that seemingly clipped Trump's ear and killed retired fire chief Corey Comperatore at a July 13, 2024, campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, but now some of the president's own supporters have been casting doubts on the official account of the shooting, reported Wired.

Noting that Department of Justice investigators are busy working in his “backyard” of Florida on election theft conspiracy theories promoted by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, former state attorney of Palm Beach County Dave Aronberg told the hosts of “Morning Joe” it will end in embarrassment for all involved.

Brought on to discuss Gabbard’s efforts to get a whistleblower criminally charged for informing on Donald Trump, Aronberg claimed there is little value in the conspiracy theory Gabbard is pushing and, should the DOJ follow her lead, the cases will fall apart quickly.

President Donald Trump lashed out at the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) on Friday after reports suggested his administration and Tehran have reached a deal to fully re-open the Strait of Hormuz, claiming that NATO allies had offered help, which he immediately rejected.

“Now that the Hormuz Strait situation is over, I received a call from NATO asking if we would need some help,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social. “I TOLD THEM TO STAY AWAY, UNLESS THEY JUST WANT TO LOAD UP THEIR SHIPS WITH OIL. They were useless when needed, a Paper Tiger!”

President Donald Trump issued Israel a fierce demand on Friday as his administration continues to work to negotiate an end to the U.S. war against Iran, an effort repeatedly complicated by Israel’s continued strikes in Lebanon.

The ceasefire between the United States and Iran tentatively reached earlier this month included a provision from Tehran that would require Israel to halt its assault on Lebanon, which it invaded last month, displacing more than 1 million people – including 350,000 children – and killing more than 2,000, creating a “humanitarian crisis.” Just hours after the ceasefire was reached, however, Israel launched a major attack on Southern Lebanon.

Rhode Island has become the fifth state to win in court after the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division requested sensitive voter records.

Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon has attempted to satisfy President Donald Trump's obsession with the 2020 election loss by requesting voter records from every state. While 17 of the Republican states handed over their rolls, the Department of Justice (DOJ) sued 29 states and Washington, D.C. for refusing the request.

Onlookers and critics were left baffled Friday after the Trump administration’s plans for ending its war against Iran were leaked by two U.S. officials and two additional insiders familiar with the White House’s negotiations.

As reported by Axios on Friday, the Trump administration is reportedly considering releasing $20 billion in frozen Iranian funds in exchange for the Middle East nation’s stockpile of enriched uranium.

Supporters of Donald Trump reacted poorly to the president’s attack on former MAGA supporters who have parted ways with the president over his military adventurism in Iran and Venezuela, with the prospect that Cuba could be next on his list.

The president started his day on Friday by once again snarling at Tucker Carlson who lost his job at Fox News in part because he boosted the president’s incorrect claim that the 2020 election was stolen.

President Donald Trump erupted at several notable figures in the MAGA movement on Friday, and floated the idea of creating “a list” to rank his supporters from “bad” to “good.”

In his outburst – shared on his social media platform Truth Social – Trump named Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens and Alex Jones, all of whom at one point were fierce defenders of Trump but have since openly criticized his presidency.
