The Department of Defense claimed on social media that its recruitment of women into the armed forces is going great. The problem, however, is that when they bragged about it in an interview, artificial intelligence photos were used.

AI-generated images were part of an effort to "make it seem like the government’s recruitment efforts are actually working," The New Republic reported Friday.

As Donald Trump’s trade war kicks into high gear, consumers are already reporting that they are feeling it in their pocketbooks — and that is going to come back to haunt Republican lawmakers.

According to a Friday afternoon editorial from the conservative Wall Street Journal, if GOP lawmakers lose their seats in next year's midterms, they can look back ruefully to the time when they let the president go wild with tariffs.

The White House posted a video of a large number of U.S. Marshals and FBI agents in riot gear with shields marching through the halls of an apartment building to calmly arrest what has become known as the "Sandwich Guy."

On Sunday, a man in a pink shirt raged at police on the streets of Washington, D.C. before he threw his foot-long sandwich at them. The "sandwich slinger," allegedly lawyer Sean Dunn, was released without charge.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom fired off Thursday at President Donald Trump for his federal takeover of Washington, D.C. — and suggested the president look instead to cities represented by leaders of his own party.

“I think he should start with Shreveport, Louisiana, in Speaker [Mike] Johnson’s district that has six-plus times the per-capita murder rate of Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco,” Newsom said, speaking with MSNBC contributor and YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen.

A recovery advocate who helps those with substance abuse confessed that the biggest mistake he's made in his own journey of sobriety was in supporting President Donald Trump in 2024.

Writing in a column for The Nevada Independent, Rob Banghart explained that after years of opioid addiction, he was finally able to find recovery. He has overdosed 15 times, and each time was "pulled back from the brink of death," he wrote.

A federal judge has called a 2 p.m. hearing for Friday in the case against the Trump administration over its federal takeover of Washington, D.C., and could issue an order to halt the operation “within hours,” according to Politico reporter Kyle Cheney.

Washington, D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb filed a lawsuit Friday morning against the Trump administration over its “hostile takeover” of the city, with more than 1,500 federal troops currently patrolling the city’s streets and making arrests. U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes, however, who’s been assigned the case, could put a halt to the operation swiftly.

Washingtonians have delivered a quick response to what protesters characterize as an "occupation" of the District of Columbia by Donald Trump's federal forces.

However, the president is calling it all fake news.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has secured herself a sweetheart deal that allows her to live rent-free in Washington, D.C. in what is described as a “spacious waterfront residence.”

According to a report from the Washington Post, Noem did not feel safe staying in an apartment like other Donald Trump Cabinet officials, so she was granted the ability — for security reasons — to stay in a residence at “Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling in Southeast Washington where the Coast Guard commandant typically resides.”

The White House has rated hundreds of American companies and trade associations on their loyalty to President Donald Trump and his agenda, according to a new report.

A senior White House official told Axios the West Wing scorecard factored in how hard the 553 companies and associations had worked to promote Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill," including social media posts, press releases, video testimonials, ads and attendance at White House events to boost the Republican megabill.

Fresh off of walking a tightrope to get a massive budget bill passed with reluctant Republicans on one side and Donald Trump on the other, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is once again stuck in the middle trying to make both parties happy.

At issue now is Trump’s desire for Republicans to redistrict multiple red states in order to gain more GOP seats in the House and Republican caucus members who could be out of a job if Democratic governors, including California’s Gavin Newsom, make good on threats to do the same for their own party.

Several of the law firms that agreed to do pro-bono work for Donald Trump’s administration after he publicly targeted them with threats have yet to do a single thing for the president because they believe the terms of the agreements are unenforceable.

According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, Trump’s campaign against the law firms resulted in a series of executive orders threatening their access to federal buildings, removing security clearances and putting their clients’ government contracts at ris.

President Donald Trump’s order this week to deploy federal troops to Washington, D.C. in an effort to stamp out crime had produced a little over 100 arrests as of Thursday — a figure that Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker torched as severely underwhelming.

“It took a military occupation to pull this off?” Parker wrote in an op-ed published Friday in The Washington Post.

Vladimir Putin's top diplomat appeared to be taunting President Donald Trump as the Russian arrived in Alaska for a high-stakes summit to discuss the war in Ukraine.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov arrived Friday morning for the talks wearing a sweater emblazoned with the inscription “CCCP" — the Cyrillic abbreviation for USSR — in an apparent reference to Russian propagandists fantasizing about reclaiming Alaska during negotiations to end the war, reported The Daily Beast.
