Trump News

The leadership behind the revamped “60 Minutes" newsmagazine was accused of falling down on the job after getting Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to sit down for a one-on-one interview in the season-opening episode.

According to media watchdog Status, CBS News chief Bari Weiss personally secured the "sit-down" with the embattled Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine, leaning on her friendly rapport with Hegseth's wife, Jennifer — "a former Fox News producer who has become a de facto Pentagon adviser."

Hundreds of thousands of US citizen children could lose access to key benefits as part of a Trump administration proposal to strip tax credit refunds away from immigrant families, including those with legal status.

In August, the US Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) proposed rules redefining four tax credits—the adoption tax credit, child tax credit (CTC), American opportunity tax credit, and earned income tax credit (EITC)—as “federal public benefits” under a decades-old welfare reform law, meaning that certain groups of noncitizens, not considered “qualified aliens,” would be ineligible to claim refunds from them.

Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) got a harsh reckoning from the conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board on Monday, as she was exposed for talking out of both sides of her mouth on President Donald Trump's trade policies.

When the Supreme Court struck down Trump's first tariff scheme, the board wrote, Britt took to the papers to write, “What the media won’t tell you is that President Trump’s tariffs work. We are not going to return to the status quo of allowing American jobs and manufacturing to be sidelined in exchange for cheap junk from foreign adversaries.”

Attorney General Todd Blanche's announced event at the White House on Tuesday stunned a panel of legal experts.

Blanche is supposed to hold a briefing in the Rose Garden at the White House on Tuesday, a move that Elie Honig, a CNN legal expert, and Andrew McCabe, former deputy FBI director, said had never been done before. They argued that it was a testament to how the Department of Justice has lost any semblance of independence during the Trump administration.

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin may be in over his head with a festering MAGA "dilemma," according to a new report.

One of the many things that the MAGA base has been clamoring for is the deportation of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), on allegations that she committed fraud on her naturalization paperwork. However, Republicans have not disclosed any evidence that would stand up in court to support such a claim, according to a new report from Will Sommer of The Bulwark.

The Republicans just gave the clearest signal yet that they know the midterms are going to be disastrous, according to one GOP strategist.

A Republican-controlled committee spent $50 million on advertising to support Ken Paxton in the Texas Senate race, according to reports. Mike Madrid, a GOP strategist, argued in a new Substack post that the ad buy signals that Republicans know they are hemorrhaging support in one of their strongholds.

Nearly 150 unionized doctors at two Twin Cities area hospitals began a four-day strike on Monday in what’s believed to be the first walkout by private-sector hospital doctors in U.S. history.

Doctors clad in their white coats walked picket lines outside Allina Health’s Mercy Hospital in Coon Rapids and Unity campus in Fridley, carrying signs that read “patients over profits” and “burnout hurts.”

President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform on Monday to throw fury at Karl Rove, a longtime Republican strategist who worked under former President George W. Bush.

"Karl Rove is so bad for the Republican Party, and completely wrong so often," wrote Trump. "He suffers from a major case of Trump Derangement Syndrome primarily because, for almost 10 years, I beat back and won against so many of the people and things that he wanted and espoused."

The Supreme Court has denied the Trump adminstration's request to stay a lower court order blocking his Postal Service's new rule restricting the ways states can use mail-in ballots.

The ruling included a concurrence from Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who stated the order is likely illegal under the Administrative Procedure Act because it doesn't give states adequate time to comply. Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissented.

The Justice Department's sudden loss of a pro-Trump loyalist prosecutor bodes ill for the president's recently selected attorney general, former federal prosecutor Harry Litman wrote on Monday.

Joseph diGenova has refused to explain the reasoning for his departure, but the mere fact that he chose to leave speaks volumes, Litman argued, and is a "devastating verdict" on Attorney General Todd Blanche's leadership.

President Donald Trump has been telling Americans “economic fairy tales” about one of his signature campaign promises, according to a blistering new column.

Trump repeatedly vowed to slash energy and electricity prices by 50% within 12 months of taking office. Instead, diesel recently surpassed $6 per gallon, while electricity and other household energy costs have also climbed.

President Donald Trump's pitch to voters to cut $5,000 checks for every adult if Republicans win the midterms shows how truly out of options he is, political analyst Juanita Tolliver told MS NOW's Ari Melber on Monday.

In essence, she argued, the president is starting to realize he's in trouble — but has deluded himself that he has a path out of it.
