President Donald Trump said the quiet part out loud when it comes to why immigrants tend to work farm jobs instead of Americans.

During a Tuesday phone interview on CNBC, Trump was asked if he had changed his position on deporting undocumented farm workers.

CNN's John Berman fact-checked President Donald Trump's justification for firing the Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner.

The president abruptly fired BLS chief Erika McEntarfer last week after the monthly jobs report suggested an economic slowdown, but he stoked baseless conspiracies Tuesday morning in an appearance on CNBC's "Squawk Box" to defend his decision.

Republicans are reportedly “feeling jittery” over the potential economic fallout to President Donald Trump’s tariffs, set to kick off on Thursday but already starting to impact job growth and costs.

“Republicans on Capitol Hill are feeling jittery about the economy after the latest jobs report showed the economy added far fewer jobs than previously estimated over the past three months,” wrote Alexander Bolton in The Hill on Tuesday.

A controversial longtime strategist and ally of President Donald Trump has quietly assumed what is effectively second-in-command power at the Department of Homeland Security, leaving officials and staffers in a constant state of fear and subservience to his will, CNN reported on Tuesday morning.

Corey Lewandowski, who plunged Trump's 2016 campaign into controversy and was fired as manager when he was accused of manhandling a right-wing female reporter, has been involved in DHS policy since even before Trump was sworn in, making major hiring decisions on behalf of Kristi Noem before she was even formally confirmed as secretary of that department.

New details have been revealed about a deal President Donald Trump cut with hardcore Republicans to get their votes for his "big beautiful bill" — and that agreement has left other GOP lawmakers feeling double-crossed.

The House Freedom Caucus has not specified what exactly it got from the White House in exchange for members' votes, although some members hinted they'd gotten some concessions. But NOTUS has learned the Republican faction was directly involved in Trump's executive order that increased scrutiny on wind and solar developers.

Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has gone nuclear on the Republican Party after President Donald Trump delivered a stinging snub to her ambitions, an expert claimed Tuesday.

Greene, a firebrand right-winger who was long been Trump’s biggest cheerleader, claimed Saturday she was close to splitting with the GOP that she said has become out of sync with what its conservative base wants.

Former Treasury Department official Steven Rattner ripped into President Donald Trump for his “economic ignorance” Tuesday in a scathing op-ed published in The New York Times, pointing to what he described as the president’s “foolhardy tariffs.”

“Now we have a president who is fundamentally ignorant of the most basic and incontrovertible economic principles, as evidenced in his latest round of foolhardy tariffs (and in so many other ways),” Rattner wrote.

President Donald Trump's second term has been mired by scandals from the very beginning. However, New York Times foreign affairs columnist Thomas L. Friedman, a three-time Pulitzer Prize winner, highlighted on Monday what he considers to be the "most dangerous" among all of the "terrible" actions taken by the president.

Friedman pointed to the firing of Erika McEntarfer, the Senate-confirmed head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, as the most alarming action of Trump 2.0. McEntarfer's tenure ended after she released a jobs report that Trump didn't like.

CNN's Kaitlan Collins issued a harsh reminder to Republicans that President Donald Trump isn't keeping as many promises as he's claimed.

Collins discussed a new report from The Washington Post on her show "The Source" that details Trump backing away from a campaign promise he made to make in vitro fertilization courses more widely available. Collins then played a montage of instances where Trump made such a promise to voters.

The conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board issued a warning on Monday to Texas Republicans seeking to advance a new gerrymandered election map.

Texas Republicans called a special session to redraw the state's electoral map following the devastating floods in the state's Hill Country that killed more than 130 people and displaced hundreds more. Republicans have defended the move as legal while Democrats contend they are simply trying to rig the 2026 midterm election.

Journalist Gretchen Carlson issued a warning Monday regarding the possibility of President Donald Trump pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted accomplice of child predator Jeffrey Epstein.

During a segment on CNN, Carlson stated, "There will be an insurrection if he pardons Ghislaine Maxwell."

President Donald Trump celebrated a report from The New York Post on Monday night that called talk show host Gayle King's future with her network into question.

The Post reported that King's ratings have "tanked" and that the co-CEO of Paramount, George Cheeks, has promoted a diversity, equity, and inclusion, or DEI, policy that has kept King on the air. The report cited "sources with knowledge of the situation." It added that King's contract is due to expire in May 2026.

The "magic" House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has used to keep the GOP coalition together may be starting to fade, according to two analysts.

Johnson has presided over one of the thinnest Republican majorities in recent history. That requires him to be the ultimate party dealmaker to keep various factions in line to pass President Donald Trump's policy agenda.
