House Republicans who publicly championed releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files have largely abandoned the effort, despite having voted to force Department of Justice disclosure.

According to Politico reporter Hailey Fuchs, when pressed about the DOJ's failure to meet a December 19 legal deadline for file release, GOP lawmakers are "shrugging" the matter off and prioritizing other concerns — to the delight of the White House.

President Donald Trump’s bizarre and threatening letter to Norwegian Prime Minister Minister Jonas Gahr Støre has sent shockwaves across the globe, prompting analysts, journalists and political commentators to openly question whether the president had suffered “some sort of serious mental breakdown.”

“Whatever people's views on Trump's broader politics, these are the words of a man who is having some sort of serious mental breakdown,” wrote Dan Hodges, a British columnist and political commentator, in a social media post Monday to their more than 200,000 followers.

Donald Trump’s decision to endorse a Republican candidate to run against Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) has resulted in the president facing off with Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD).

On Saturday night, seemingly out of nowhere, Trump threw his support behind Rep. Julia Letlow (R-LA) to go after Cassidy’s seat, despite the fact she had not entered the race.

Trump's 2024 campaign manager Chris LaCivita abruptly settled his defamation lawsuit against the Daily Beast on Friday evening before a federal holiday, abandoning demands for triple damages and claiming he had suffered millions in lost business opportunities.

The sudden backtrack came as the Beast planned to serve about 50 subpoenas to LaCivita associates — among then senior Trump aides and even the president himself, the news outlet revealed Monday.

President Donald Trump issued a bizarre and threatening letter to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, PBS News reported Sunday night — a message in which he stated he “no longer” felt an “obligation to think purely of peace” over what he’s perceived as a snub in not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize.

“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America,” Trump wrote in the letter, the text of which was obtained by PBS.

President Donald Trump's efforts to acquire Greenland left one analyst aghast on Sunday.

Over the last several weeks, Trump has intensified his push to acquire Greenland from the Kingdom of Denmark. Those efforts have included threatening to invade Greenland and imposing 10% tariffs on all goods imported from several European countries. Trump has claimed that acquiring the island nation is in America's national interests, although experts have said that He can accomplish many of the things he hopes to achieve through the acquisition, such as increasing America's military presence.

President Donald Trump is taking a "reckless risk" by trying to acquire Greenland, one that could make one of Russia's biggest dreams come true, warned the Wall Street Journal's conservative editorial board on Sunday.

Trump has relentlessly pursued acquiring Greenland, either by force or negotiation, during his second administration. Recently, Danish ambassadors traveled to the White House to negotiate with Trump. Trump's efforts to acquire the country have also inspired the "Make America Go Away" campaign in Denmark, according to reports.

Political analysts and observers were stunned on Sunday by a new report that appeared to explain why President Donald Trump's immigration officials act as if they can't be held accountable for their actions.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday that Trump's Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers receive a bonus if they meet their 3,000 arrests per day quota, even if the people they arrest are later released. About 2,000 people have been arrested in Minneapolis since federal agents surged into the city this month, the report added, although it is unclear how many people were later released.

America's allies in Europe warned on Sunday that they are prepared to move forward with a more than $100 billion plan to retaliate for President Donald Trump's latest round of tariffs, according to a new report.

On Saturday, Trump imposed new 10% tariffs on all goods from six EU countries, the U.K., and Norway, in an attempt to up the ante in his bid to acquire Greenland from the Kingdom of Denmark. On Sunday, diplomats from the bloc's 27 governments met to affirm their options to "fight back" against the tariffs, Politico's European bureau reported.

The Wall Street Journal's conservative editorial board issued a stunning warning about President Donald Trump's latest efforts to end the war between Israel and Hamas, saying the president's plan "legitimizes the terrorist" and fails to secure peace.

Last week, the Trump administration announced that Trump's peace plan for the war had entered "Phase 2," which includes establishing an international peacekeeping commission. However, the plan also appears to rely on the assumption that Hamas will "[see] the light" and disarm themselves, which is something other Arab nations in the region and moneyed interests have failed to achieve, according to a new editorial published on Sunday.
