Joe Kent, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, announced his resignation on X Tuesday by saying he “cannot in good conscience” back Donald Trump’s war in Iran. It delivered a jolt to the administration that is already reeling from a war that is going badly.

According to Kent, Iran “posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.”

Joe Kent, who was tapped by President Donald Trump to lead the National Counterterrorism Center, resigned on Tuesday out of protest over the U.S. war against Iran, marking the president’s first major rebuke on the conflict from a member of his administration.

“After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today,” Kent wrote Tuesday in a statement shared on social media.

Florida’s Republican sheriffs want President Donald Trump to end mass deportations of undocumented immigrants who haven’t committed crimes, a striking shift from law enforcement in the nation’s most aggressive anti-undocumented immigration state.

“While Congress sits on their hands and does nothing about this, we are on the ground floor with this day in and day out — looking in the eyes of these folks that, yes, came here inappropriately. But some came here inappropriately only to do better for themselves and their family,” Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said Monday during a State Immigration Enforcement Council meeting.

Young Trump devotees who bought into the "vibe shift" narrative during the 2024 campaign are experiencing cold, hard reality as the bloom rapidly falls off the rose — and they're not happy about it.

According to the Washington Post, the cultural cachet that once surrounded Trump and his movement has evaporated. What was once positioned as hip, edgy conservatism now looks embarrassing to many who climbed aboard the MAGA train.

Tourists visiting Washington, DC, may be gazing at the barren spot where the East Wing used to exist longer than Donald Trump might like as his plans for a massive ballroom appear to be headed to court.

According to the Washington Post, three Trump loyalists he installed on the National Capital Planning Commission lack the expertise legally required for the position — a vulnerability that could torpedo the entire project or, at minimum, delay it indefinitely.

Donald Trump's most loyal Iran war hawks are experiencing buyer's remorse as what they envisioned as a quick military victory threatens to metastasize into a prolonged, unpopular quagmire requiring American boots on the ground, according to a report.

More than two weeks into the campaign, insiders close to the White House are sounding the alarm — the president has lost control of the conflict's trajectory, Politico reported. Iran now holds the upper hand, they warn, and Trump may have boxed himself into a corner where escalation — potentially including a full ground invasion — becomes the only face-saving option.

Trump's courtroom luck has run out — and he's taking it personally.

After riding a wave of favorable Supreme Court rulings delivered through the so-called "shadow docket," the president has hit a wall. The result: an unhinged Truth Social meltdown late Sunday night that exposed just how badly the political ground has shifted beneath his feet.

President Donald Trump got a severe dressing down from the New York Times editorial board Tuesday as it decried a chaotic, ill-considered and badly planned nearly three weeks of war.

"The war has become an exemplar of Mr. Trump’s chaotic, ego-driven approach to the presidency," the board wrote.

President Donald Trump took to social media early Tuesday morning to float the idea of permanently seizing control of Venezuela and officially making it the United States’ 51st state, an idea sparked by the South American nation’s recent victory in the World Baseball Classic international tournament.

“Wow! Venezuela defeated Italy tonight, 4-2, in the WBC (Baseball!) Semifinal,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social. “They are looking really great. Good things are happening to Venezuela lately! I wonder what this magic is all about? STATEHOOD, #51, ANYONE?”

President Donald Trump issued a baffling statement after the World Baseball Classic (WBC) semifinal game on Monday night.

Venezuela and Italy faced off in the WBC semifinal, with Venezuela besting the Italians 4-2. After the game, Trump took to Truth Social to express his pleasure with the outcome.
