A Trump biographer revealed on Tuesday that there is someone behind the scenes pulling the strings of the president's administration.

Journalist Michael Wolff, who wrote "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House," discussed it on the premiere of "Inside Trump’s Head," a twice-weekly podcast from The Daily Beast. Wolff noted that while Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, has been active in the administration despite his physical absence.

The Wall Street Journal's conservative editorial board rebuked arguments that the Trump administration's lawyers made in court about his tariff policy in a new op-ed on Tuesday.

President Donald Trump has raised tariffs on multiple U.S. trading partners since taking office, a move that has been heavily contested in the courts. The Constitution gives Congress the power to impose tariffs, although the GOP has largely supported the president's efforts.

President Donald Trump's announcement of Heritage Foundation economist E.J. Antoni as his nominee to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is an ominous signal to Americans and investors, according to one analyst.

In a Tuesday article, Jonathan V. Last — an editor for anti-Trump conservative site The Bulwark — opined that Trump's appointment of a loyalist who is replacing someone he fired for publishing unflattering jobs numbers was meant to send a not-so-subtle message: That when it comes to economic data, the truth is subjective.

A progressive lawyer brutally mocked the GOP on Tuesday for its hypocrisy over crime in Washington, D.C.

Marc Elias, founder of Democracy Docket, joined progressive YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen on "Democracy Watch" to discuss Trump's move to federalize law enforcement in D.C and the efforts by the Texas GOP to redraw their election maps. Cohen remarked that it seemed like the Republicans are trying to use the powers of government against their political opponents, a move they accused Democrats of doing when they prosecuted President Donald Trump for trying to overturn the 2020 election.

President Donald Trump's efforts to rewrite American history didn't sit well with CNN's Anderson Cooper on Tuesday night.

Cooper discussed the Trump administration's moves to review the content at the Smithsonian Museum, which is home to many American historical artifacts and documents. In a letter sent to eight of the Smithsonian's 21 museums, the White House said they were conducting the review to ensure the museums are promoting "American excellence."

President Donald Trump ought to give the billionaire owner of the New England Patriots a call ahead of his "half-baked" plan to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin, a New York Times opinion columnist suggested Tuesday.

Trump is scheduled to meet with Putin on Friday in Anchorage, Alaska. The meeting will focus mainly on Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the potential for a ceasefire.

A former federal prosecutor slammed President Donald Trump's efforts to federalize law enforcement in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday.

Glenn Kirschner, a former assistant U.S. Attorney, said on his podcast, "Justice Matters," described Trump's moves to federalize the D.C. police force as "offensive, disrespectful, dangerous, and dictatorial." His comments happen at a time when the Trump administration is trying to justify its moves to use military troops as civilian law enforcement officers.

A curious post on social media from Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) generated outrage on Tuesday.

President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social about "great" nominees for the "Trump/Kennedy Center, whoops, I mean Kennedy Center, (sic) Awards." Graham replied to the post on X, where he said he is "all in" to help Trump remake the Kennedy Center. Graham also riffed on Trump's "whoops" bit in the post.

A Republican lawmaker took a shot at President Donald Trump on Tuesday afternoon, telling CNN anchor Jake Tapper the party wants to see a "stronger Trump" when it comes to his dealings with Russia.

An economist issued a dire warning on Tuesday about a loyalist that President Donald Trump has picked to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Trump recently announced that he was considering hiring E.J. Antoni, chief economist at the Trump-aligned Heritage Foundation, to lead the embattled BLS.

CNN's Jake Tapper slammed President Donald Trump's excuses for deploying federal troops to Washington, D.C. during his show on Tuesday.

Yesterday, Trump claimed he was deploying federal troops to D.C. to address crime, even though federal data shows that crime rates reached a 30-year low last year. Trump also said he was considering making similar moves in Baltimore, Maryland; Chicago, Illinois; and Los Angeles, California, a claim that caught Tapper by surprise.

Eighty years after the dropping of the atomic bombs that ended the Second World War, President Donald Trump is systematically dismantling the public institutions of science and research that made American strength and prosperity possible, historian Garrett Graff wrote in a scathing analysis for The New York Times published on Tuesday.

Trump began attacking science from the outset of his presidency, with the National Science Foundation even red-flagging words like "female," "women," "systemic," or "trauma" in grant applications, and has since carried out mass layoffs and political reorganizations at agencies vital to scientific research.
