The arrival of Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado at the White House on Thursday was a "stunning moment" in history, according to one CNN anchor.

Machado traveled to Washington, D.C., to meet with President Donald Trump amid the U.S.'s ongoing intervention in Venezuela. Earlier this month, the U.S. captured dictator Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, and flew them to New York to stand trial for narco-terrorism and weapons charges. The U.S. also left Maduro's second-in-command, Delcy Rodríguez, in control of the country instead of supporting Machado's opposition party, even though the latter won Venezuela's most recent election.

A Supreme Court precedent that was reaffirmed just last year may not bode well for the immigration officer who killed Renee Good in Minneapolis last week, according to a legal expert.

President Donald Trump's administration rushed to justify Good's killing shortly after the shooting occurred. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called Good a "domestic terrorist" after the shooting, and Trump said she was being "disrespectful" to officers. They also accused Good of "weaponizing" her car against Ross, and provided isolated clips as video evidence. However, witness testimony and video recordings appear to contradict the government's evidence.

A Trump administration official raised more than a few eyebrows Thursday when he declared the president is creating a "new world order," using the same phrase popularized by right-wing conspiracy theorists who believe a secretive global elite is plotting to establish a totalitarian one-world government.

Kevin Hassett, a conservative economist who serves as director of the National Economic Council in the Trump administration, joined the Fox Business show "Making Money with Charles Payne," where he was asked what Americans could expect from President Donald Trump at the annual World Economic Forum held in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland. The yearly get-together features global leaders from government, business, and civil society.

A propaganda expert called out President Donald Trump's administration for "taking a page from ISIS" in social media campaigns boosting its immigration operations.

Robert Page, a professor of political science at the University of Chicago, joined CNN's Jake Tapper on "The Lead" to dissect some recent social media posts from Trump's Department of Homeland Security, some of which seem to directly reference white nationalist and Nazi propaganda. Behind the overt references to those ideologies, Page added, there is an "even more disturbing" theme that ties them together.

A federal judge handed President Donald Trump's administration another stinging defeat in its bid to rig the 2026 midterm elections, according to a new report.

For months, Trump's Department of Justice has been trying to access state voter rolls under the guise of inspecting them for fraud. Some Democratically-controlled states have pushed back and sued the administration, while Republican-led states appeared quick to comply with the spurious demand.

A right-wing firebrand unleashed on the Trump administration Thursday amid reports the president and his circle have cozied up to Qatar.

Laura Loomer sounded the alarm on social media over what she described as a dangerous power imbalance between the United States and Qatar, claiming the Trump administration has surrendered American sovereignty to the wealthy Gulf nation.

President Donald Trump's latest affordability gambit involves forcing grid operators to hold an emergency power sale and pay for infrastructure upgrades without passing costs down to consumers, according to a new report.

Bloomberg reported on Thursday that Trump's move, which is expected to be formalized on Friday, represents an "extraordinary intervention in the power markets." It comes at a time when many Americans are growing concerned that the proliferation of data centers in their neighborhoods is driving up utility costs.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was roundly criticized on Thursday for her pearl-clutching moment in front of the press during the daily briefing.

Leavitt complained that some protesters had flipped off Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and that they had written profane language on broken-down federal vehicles. Her comments come after cameras captured President Donald Trump flipping off a worker who called him a "pedophile protector" during a recent tour of the Ford Motor plant in Detroit.

Political analysts and observers were stunned on Thursday after a foreign leader gave President Donald Trump a "pathetic" gift.

Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado visited the White House on Thursday, where she met with senators and presented her Nobel Peace Prize to Trump and offered to share it with him. Trump has previously insisted that he should have won the prize over Machado for "settling eight wars" while in office. Machado was selected because of her “tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy,” according to The Nobel Foundation.

Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado revealed that she "presented" President Donald Trump with the Nobel Peace Prize she won "for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela."

Before her Thursday meeting, the U.S. president said it would be an "honor" to share a prize with her, even though he had made it clear he wanted it for himself.

One of President Donald Trump's most embattled Cabinet secretaries may have found a way to escape accountability for her role in helping the president avoid fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein files, according to one analyst.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has found herself in the hot seat over her handling of the Epstein files release, Joe Perticone, national political reporter for The Bulwark, noted in a recent newsletter. Even though there appears to be a lot of evidence that Bondi broke the law by slow-walking the release, the political winds may prevent lawmakers from having the fortitude to pursue accountability until after the midterm, he argued.
