The Department of Justice is facing an apocalyptic threat from President Donald Trump, according to a conservative columnist.

Presidents always pose a threat to the department's political independence, but New York Times columnist David French warned that Trump has already remade the DOJ in his own vengeful imagine.

President Donald Trump teased a major announcement Wednesday regarding a potential federal takeover of Chicago, Illinois, amid the ongoing federal takeover in Washington, D.C., and the president’s repeated threats to do the same in other Dem-led cities.

Trump has publicly feuded with Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker in recent months, with Trump having labelled Pritzker as “probably the worst (governor) in the country,” and Pritzker, calling the president a “wannabe dictator.”

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough urged President Donald Trump to drop his controversial pick to oversee public health as questions about his leadership grow louder.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced a series of moves that will limit eligibility for the next round of COVID vaccines as the virus surges, and the Health and Human Services secretary is locked in a power struggle with newly confirmed Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Susan Monarez over vaccine policy.

Political strategist and columnist Rick Wilson laid into RFK Jr. Thursday following the Health and Human Services secretary’s firing of Susan Monarez, the Trump-appointed director for the Centers for Disease Control, calling him a “serial killer” and warning that the “death toll” of the decision would be "unimaginable.”

“RFK, Jr., heroin addict, sex addict, anti-vaccination lunatic and aspiring architect of millions of deaths purged the CDC last night,” Wilson wrote Thursday on his Substack “Against All Enemies.” “He gutted the world’s premiere public-health agency in his endless quest to destroy vaccine science and plunge this nation into the Middle Ages.”

Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, who President Donald Trump proclaimed to have fired on Monday amid his war against the central bank for refusing to slash interest rates, has named Trump and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell in a new lawsuit protesting the decision.

First reported by Politico reporter Kyle Cheney, the lawsuit suggests a complicated pattern of events based on Powell being named in the suit alongside Trump.

The supposed ousting of Centers for Disease Control Director Susan Monarez was potentially tied to an impending report from the Department of Health and Human Services that some anticipate will embrace the debunked theory that vaccines cause autism, a New York Times reporter said Thursday.

“We're all waiting for that report, it's being written by someone who has also embraced the vaccine-autism theory, so who knows what is coming next,” said New York Times reporter Sheryl Stolberg, speaking on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” Thursday. “It may well be that his clash with Susan Monarez is in anticipation of that forthcoming report.”

California Gov. Gavin Newsom teased a new plan to troll what he described as President Donald Trump’s “crypto grift” Wednesday following a private meeting he had with the president earlier this year.

“We talked about his crypto grift,” Newsom said of his meeting with Trump, speaking during a Politico summit in Sacramento, California. “He was surprised that the meme coin is not even a coin.”

A Republican lawmaker was forced to agree with a crowd of angry constituents in the deep-red Ohio county from which Vice President JD Vance hails.

Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH) hosted a town hall Wednesday evening at Edgewood Middle School in Butler County, where more than 500 people packed into an auditorium to challenge the congressman on President Donald Trump's policies from the start of the event, reported the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Senate Republicans are bracing for chaos over President Donald Trump's efforts to take control over the Federal Reserve.

More than a dozen Trump administration officials and Republican lawmakers still enjoying their August recess told CNN they had no idea the president would attempt to fire one of the central bank's governors, Lisa Cook, for the first time in history, but some administration insiders say the signs were obvious.
