President Donald Trump on Friday lashed out at ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl, calling him a “third-rate news anchor” and urging supporters not to buy his new book.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote that Karl had produced “another made up book” before going on to slam fellow ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos.

A “wild card” contender has emerged as MAGA allies push for a new attorney general following the ouster this week of Pam Bondi.

As loyalists jockey to replace Bondi, some in President Donald Trump’s orbit are rallying behind Harmeet Dhillon, an ultra-conservative lawyer and current Justice Department official.

President Donald Trump is weighing additional cabinet changes following the ouster of Attorney General Pam Bondi – but has also signaled reassurance to at least one official who has long been rumored to be on the chopping block.

According to new reporting from the Washington Post, Trump has discussed further shakeups with advisers, while seeking to avoid what one source described as a “massive shakeup” of his administration.

Donald Trump fired his attorney general Thursday, but one analyst said Friday the most significant purge happening inside his administration isn't in the Cabinet, it's at the Pentagon.

While the media focused on Pam Bondi's ouster, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth quietly fired three generals the same day, including General Randy George, the Army's top-ranking commander, National Affairs Correspondent Jeet Heer wrote for The Nation. Military.com called it "one of the most significant wartime leadership shakeups during active U.S. combat operations in recent years."

President Donald Trump seeks hundreds of millions of dollars to renovate the White House residence, according to a new budget request.

The administration’s fiscal 2026 proposal includes more than $377 million “for repairs and renovations to the executive residence,” with another $174 million projected for 2027, according to budget documents reported by Politico.

CNN anchor Jake Tapper on Friday tore into President Donald Trump’s claims about Iran’s military following reports that a U.S. aircraft had been shot down.

On his eponymous show, “The Lead with Jake Tapper,” the host used Trump’s own words in a prime-time address this week to challenge his claim that Iran had been “completely decimated.”

More congressional Republicans have quit, declined to seek reelection, or jumped to different races than in any year since President Donald Trump's last midterm catastrophe, according to a new analysis, and the president's historic approval rating collapse may explain why.

At least 39 GOP lawmakers have headed for the exits, Slate's Ian Prasad Philbrick reported Friday, a number that rivals the 2018 Republican exodus when Trump's first-term unpopularity helped Democrats seize the House in a wave election.

Democrats are seizing on a new opening against President Donald Trump described as a “political gift,” just months before the midterm elections.

The moment was highlighted during a CNN segment on Friday, where New York Times congressional correspondent Annie Karni said Democrats were “agog” at what amounted to a “political gift” handed to them by Trump.

The budget document that President Donald Trump’s White House is set to release Friday calls for $1.5 trillion in military spending for the coming fiscal year, an unprecedented sum that—if approved by Congress—would add nearly $7 trillion to the US national debt over the next decade.

The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board, which got an early look at the president’s fiscal year 2027 budget, reported that the plan includes roughly $1.15 trillion in baseline US military spending as well as $350 billion in supplemental funding “that Republicans could pass in a party-line budget reconciliation bill.” The Journal doesn’t specify the purpose of the proposed supplemental funding, but the Pentagon has asked Congress for at least $200 billion for the Iran war.

A writing expert is raising alarms about how Donald Trump uses language, arguing that the president's word choices can distort reality and “mislead” the public.

In a guest essay for The New York Times, author and former Washington Post critic Sarah L. Kaufman points to Trump’s repeated claim that “we won” during the ongoing conflict with Iran – despite continued fighting – as a key example of his use of language.

President Donald Trump reportedly "expressed frustration" after the news media focused on the downing of an F-15E fighter jet in Iran.

NBC News said that Trump complained about the coverage during an interview on Friday.
