Trump News

President Donald Trump has been hit by a new lawsuit over his UFC arena being built on the White House South Lawn — and the details left a former federal prosecutor incredulous.

Joyce Vance detailed the most shocking parts in her Civil Discourse Substack.

A federal judge on Monday threatened to sanction President Donald Trump's personal attorneys after they missed a court deadline in his sprawling $10 billion libel lawsuit against the BBC — and tried to cover their tracks with a pair of last-minute procedural filings.

U.S. District Judge Roy Altman, a Trump appointee, ordered the president's legal team to explain by June 10 why he shouldn't penalize them for what he called their "apparent disregard of court deadlines." Trump's lawyers had been due to respond to the BBC's motion to dismiss the case by June 5. Instead of filing that response, they submitted two eleventh-hour motions — one seeking leave to file excess pages, another seeking to file under seal — neither of which asked the court to extend the deadline.

Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) openly defied President Donald Trump Sunday night in calling for Israel to launch strikes toward Iran, a remark that flew in the face of the president’s foreign policy agenda — and, according to a GOP congressional candidate, may have violated federal law.

Iran launched strikes against Israel Sunday in response to that nation's bombing of Lebanon’s largest city, strikes that Trump urged Israeli leadership not to respond to. Despite Trump’s plea, Israel's missiles flew later that night, the news of which excited Fine, who proceeded to encourage Israel to continue.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reversed course Monday on a Pentagon religious classification policy that had enraged Republican allies — after Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) called it "repugnant," phoned President Donald Trump directly, and demanded an immediate fix.

The controversy stemmed from a May 20 memo, first reported by Military.com, signed by Under Secretary of Defense Anthony Tata, that slashed the military's religious affiliation codes from 211 to just 31. The overhaul was designed to help chaplains better track and serve troops' beliefs — but the initial redone list left The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints out of the Christian category entirely, classifying it separately from every other faith that professes belief in Jesus Christ.

A federal judge ruled on Monday that President Donald Trump’s order to impose a $100,000 fee on businesses for H-1B visa applications was “unlawful” and ordered it to be “vacated in its entirety,” as flagged by Politico’s Kyle Cheney.

First unveiled last year, Trump’s plan to impose the hefty fee was met with immediate scrutiny from corporate leaders, many of whom rely on cheap foreign labor to maximize profits. The plan proved unsuccessful during its first few months, generating a net loss in revenue for the federal government.

The man California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) called "Gestapo Greg" is now gunning for the White House — and he's ready to take on whoever President Donald Trump has in mind as his successor.

Gregory Bovino, the firebrand former Border Patrol commander-at-large who became the face of Trump's brutal immigration crackdowns in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Minneapolis, has launched an exploratory committee for a 2028 presidential bid, NewsNation confirmed Monday. The move puts him on a direct collision course with Trump, who has publicly backed a Vance-Rubio ticket as his preferred succession plan.

With Donald Trump's endorsed candidate facing a potentially embarrassing primary Tuesday, some of the loudest voices in MAGA world are rooting for him to lose — and they're not whispering about it.

On Monday's edition of Steve Bannon's War Room, Bannon and Noel Fritsch — a conservative campaign consultant working for GOP Senate candidate Mark Lynch — gleefully torched Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on the eve of South Carolina's Republican primary, warning the four-term incumbent could fall below the 50% threshold required to avoid a runoff.

President Donald Trump has reached a critical juncture, writes geopolitical analyst and expert Trista Parsi, one that could result in either some de-escalation in the Middle East or an unprecedented disruption to global trade that could send oil prices to “well above $200 per barrel.”

Parsi’s analysis, detailed in a report published on his Substack Sunday night, comes after Iran and Israel exchanged strikes earlier that same day. On Monday, Trump publicly pleaded with Israel and Iran to stop fighting as his administration continues working toward a negotiated settlement with Tehran, though both nations have frequently defied the president’s wishes.

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) sparked widespread mockery Monday after both appeared on Newsmax to blame former President Joe Biden for the screwworm emergency now threatening Texas cattle — despite the Trump administration's own cuts to the very monitoring programs designed to stop the parasite.

Rollins, who oversees the federal response to the first confirmed U.S. screwworm infestation in decades, pointed the finger squarely at her predecessor. "I do think it's important to note that under the last administration, with the massive movement under the open borders policy, the cartels, et cetera, border security — that's when it began to make its way back up toward America," she said, adding that when she took office in February 2025, "obviously not much had been done to push back."
