Trump News

The Trump administration tried to get the Navy to use live 2,000-pound bombs instead of dummy bombs to mark the celebration of the Navy's 250th Anniversary, according to The Associated Press.

"Original planning for what the Navy dubbed the Titans of the Sea Presidential Review called for military personnel to use dummies and not live bombs, [one] person familiar with the Navy’s planning said," the report continued. "That person, who like the others was not authorized to speak publicly on the matter and spoke on the condition of anonymity, would not comment on why the Navy decided to switch to live bombs."

Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) skewered Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene during a CNN interview on Tuesday over her criticisms of how Republicans have handled the government shutdown.

Earlier in the day, Greene called out Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) for refusing to share details of the Republican Party's health care plan, according to reporting from The Hill.

Matt Ford tells The New Republic that Trump is furious at an anti-tariff ad from the Canadian province of Ontario because he knows his tariffs are on shaky ground.

Ontario aired a commercial during the games that used a 1987 speech by then-President Ronald Reagan to oppose Trump’s tariff-blasted trade policy.

Heath Secretary Robert F. Kennedy's wife, Cheryl Hines, shed light about his bizarre diet during a podcast interview on Tuesday.

Hines joined Katie Miller, who is married to White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, on her show, "The Katie Miller Podcast," to discuss her journey into the Make America Healthy Again movement. She also discussed the diet that her husband has created, which involves only meat and fermented vegetables.

In an article for the Los Angeles Times published Tuesday, columnist Jonah Goldberg argued that President Donald Trump’s claims of emergency powers to impose tariffs reflect a dangerous strain of “Caesarism” – the age-old tendency of republics to surrender extraordinary authority to one man in the name of solving crises.

Titled "Donald Trump isn't a dictator, but his goal may actually be worse," the article drew a historical parallel between Julius Caesar’s rise from temporary problem-solver to “dictator for life” and Trump’s efforts to justify sweeping trade powers under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) of 1977.

Political analysts were stunned Tuesday after The Washington Post reported that President Donald Trump had fired an entire independent commission tasked with overseeing his ballroom project.

The Post reported that Trump fired the entire six-member Commission on Fine Arts, which is staffed with architects and urban planners. The commission would have reviewed Trump's plans to build an arch in Washington, D.C. bearing his name, according to the report.

More than two dozen Democratic state attorneys general on Tuesday sued the Trump administration for withholding emergency food assistance that could help prevent 42 million people from going hungry next month, arguing that the US Department of Agriculture is legally obligated to ensure federal nutrition aid gets to people who rely on it.

With the US government shut down since Oct. 1, the USDA said weeks ago that it could reprogram an emergency reserve held by the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to ensure people don’t lose their benefits on Nov. 1. But last Friday a memo from the department said the emergency funds were to be used during disasters such as hurricanes and floods, and were “not legally available” for families set to lose their benefits due to the shutdown.

A conservative former federal judge warned MSNBC viewers on Tuesday that Republicans appear to have wrongly bought into the idea that President Donald Trump can run for a third term.

J. Michael Luttig joined host Alicia Menendez on "Deadline: White House" to discuss Republicans' thoughts on Trump possibly seeking a third term.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday fired the entire Commission of Fine Arts, a six-member independent agency that was expected to review the president's plans to build a Trump arch in Washington, D.C., according to a new report.

The Washington Post reported on Tuesday that the commission is a mix of urban planners and architects who were selected by President Joe Biden. Several of the members' terms extended beyond 2028, according to the report.

Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) clashed with CNN's Jake Tapper on Tuesday over looming cuts to the federal Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program, otherwise known as food stamps.

Funding for SNAP is set to expire Nov. 1 if Congressional lawmakers are unable to reach a deal to reopen the federal government. Allowing the funding to expire could put more than 40 million Americans at risk of facing food insecurity, according to estimates.

Legal observers and analysts mocked a lawsuit filed by one of President Donald Trump's most controversial nominees on Monday, which alleges that Politico defamed him by publishing statements from anonymous sources about interactions between the nominee and some of his female colleagues.

Paul Ingrassia, who withdrew his name from contention to lead the Office of Special Counsel, was accused of sexually harassing a female colleague while working as a White House liaison to the Department of Homeland Security, Politico reported Oct. 9. Ingrassia's lawyers contend that the article contains multiple defamatory statements, a claim that legal analysts took issue with.

Former New Jersey U.S. Attorney Alina Habba was brutally needled in a Substack post on Tuesday by a former deputy chief at the U.S. attorney's office in New York.

Habba lost her bid to keep her job before a district court and appealed, but her track record of winning has never been strong, legal expert Kristy Greenberg said.
