Trump News

President Donald Trump has lost no time since taking office in disappearing immigrants into an infamous Salvadoran megaprison with little to no due process — and it's time for Democrats to confront him head-on before he ramps up efforts to do the same to U.S. citizens, Jonathan Chait wrote for The Atlantic on Wednesday.

Indeed, he continued, far from backing down and conceding as Democrats did on the issue shortly after Trump was elected, they should press the offense.

President Donald Trump has repeatedly argued that his calls for tougher border security are about stemming the flow of dangerous drugs like fentanyl into the United States. But one new policy he's implementing could end up making the problem even worse.

That's according to a Wednesday article in the Daily Caller — a prominent conservative news outlet — which reported that Trump's plan to stop enforcing a key section of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) is worrying many in the law enforcement community. The U.S. Treasury Department officially announced the rule change last month, which may end up helping drug cartels operating in the United States.

A debate over the IRS commissioner turned into a shouting match between tech billionaire Elon Musk and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, a Wednesday report said.

Last Thursday, President Donald Trump ousted his acting IRS commissioner after just a few days in the role as a "power struggle" unfolded, The New York Times reported. At issue was that Musk hired someone to run the IRS, not Bessent, who oversees the post.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, a former Fox News weekend co-host, has reportedly ordered his agency to install a makeup studio in the department's headquarters at the Pentagon.

Hegseth approved thousands of dollars in spending for a room where he can apply makeup before television appearances, CBS News reported. The room was formerly used for briefings and is located next to the Pentagon press briefing room, the report said.

The Justice Department appeared in a Washington, D.C. court on Wednesday to defend President Donald Trump's executive order attacking the law firm Perkins Coie.

The law firm sued Trump and appeared before U.S. District Court Judge Beryl Howell, who had several questions for the government lawyer that he struggled to answer.

Nearly all of the co-hosts of "The View" took issue with President Donald Trump's idea to encourage birth rates in the United States by offering families $5,000 upon birth.

The baby checks aren't the only idea; another suggestion from White House advisers is a program that explains the menstrual cycle to women. They think this might be necessary "in part so [women] can better understand when they are ovulating and able to conceive," the New York Times report said.

An apparent climate activist was handcuffed and detained by the Secret Service after a presidential placard was spray-painted in Trump Tower.

Wednesday's incident was caught on video by FreedomNews.TV.

President Donald Trump wants to “put his own stamp on elections,” according to a new report from the Associated Press.

An executive order, which he signed in March, targets the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC), a little-known independent commission which was designed to “help states update their voting equipment.”

“The most predictable guessing game in Washington, D.C., in the first three months of Donald Trump's second presidency has focused on not if he will spark a Constitutional crisis, but when,” according to USA Today columnist Chris Brennan.

The writer claimed Democrats have been leading the way in questioning the president, and GOP members, who he believes are “repulsed” by his “penchant for trampling the U.S. Constitution,” are now following.

It’s “easy” to paint Elon Musk as a “villain” while working in DOGE, and he could be “taking the heat” off President Trump in the process, claimed one political analyst on Ana Cabrera Reports Wednesday Morning.

“There's been this coupling between Elon Musk and Donald Trump politically, as we've seen DOGE do its work in these early days of the Trump Administration,” Cabrera said. “The New York Times did a review of several recent polls that found Americans largely like the concept of eliminating fraud and government waste. But they do view Elon Musk and DOGE negatively. Does that have any political consequences for the President himself, who gave Musk so much power to just do whatever he wanted?”
