Discontent is brewing in right-wing circles on college campuses against the Trump administration — but it's not because they oppose his agenda.

Rather, a large number of college Republicans think the president is simply not going far enough in his quest to purge the nation of immigrants.

President Donald Trump admitted he is "profiting" when a reporter accused him of "profiting off the presidency."

The exchange came after Trump's latest financial disclosure showed he earned more than $2.2 billion in 2025 — his first year back in office — including more than $1 billion in cryptocurrency income alone, NBC News reported.

Sen. Mitch McConnell was "unconscious" at his Washington home when he was rushed to the hospital more than two weeks ago, according to EMS radio traffic circulating online, Punchbowl News reported.

Just before 9 a.m. on June 14, a dispatcher sent an Advanced Life Support ambulance to the home of the former Senate GOP leader, according to the audio, which was posted by journalist Desiree Townsend. The account has not been independently confirmed, and McConnell's office has not addressed it.

President Donald Trump called for Congress to help him overcome his Supreme Court loss by passing a law to limit birthright citizenship, but CNN's Elie Honig called that plan "delusional."

Justice Brett Kavanaugh joined five other justices in voting against Trump's executive order, but he argued that the order had violated federal law but not the Constitution and all but invited Congress to pass legislation to strip automatic citizenship for the children of some immigrants.

President Donald Trump has set off a "frenzy" of bidding from convicted criminals seeking one of the 250 pardons he's dangling as part of the July 4 semiquincentennial celebrations.

The Atlantic's Sarah Fitzpatrick reported this week with colleague Michael Scherer that the jockeying from individuals seeking clemency has been intense, and she told "CNN This Morning" about the "three-ring circus" described by lawyers, lobbyists and others in Trump's orbit about the process.

Lawyers representing Donald Trump in his battle to keep his name on the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts threw a new wrinkle at the court on Tuesday.

According to a report from The Atlantic, Department of Justice lawyers representing the Kennedy Center on Tuesday urged a federal appeals court to restore Donald Trump’s name to the institution, warning it puts in jeopardy “hundreds of millions” of dollars in gifts and pledges belonging to an "entity, unheard-of until this month, called the Trump Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Foundation."

Republicans on Capitol Hill split Tuesday over how to respond after the Supreme Court rejected President Donald Trump's effort to end birthright citizenship through his Day 1 executive order, The Hill reported.

In a 6-3 decision in Trump v. Barbara, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that the 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship to nearly all children born on U.S. soil, even those born to parents in the country illegally. Roberts was joined by fellow conservative Amy Coney Barrett and the three liberal justices. Justice Brett Kavanaugh also voted to block the order but reasoned it violated a federal statute rather than the Constitution.

The Supreme Court ended its most recent term on Tuesday with an announcement that it has “agreed to hear a case that asks them to determine whether bans on AR-15s and other semiautomatic rifles are constitutional,” wrote former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance, who then warned that the end of controversial rulings has not come to an end.

As she noted on her Substack platform, the Supreme Court is never really dormant and less so recently, using the so-called "shadow docket" to excess in the service of Donald Trump.

President Donald Trump eulogized Victor Willis, the founding lead singer of the Village People and co-writer of disco anthems including "YMCA," "Macho Man" and "In the Navy," by boasting about his own popularity.

The group's official Facebook page announced that Willis had passed away Monday at age 74 after a brief illness, and the 80-year-old president paid tribute Wednesday on his Truth Social platform.

President Donald Trump has helped clear a path for Democrats to retake control of the U.S. Senate, according to fresh polling data.

A new New York Times/Siena poll across six Senate battleground states found an opening for Democrats to flip enough seats to regain the Senate majority, and the surveys found the 80-year-old president was largely to blame for his party's shaky foundation.

President Donald Trump's Great American State Fair on the National Mall has turned into a Washington punchline, and a firsthand account in Slate found the 16-day celebration earned the ribbing.

Slate writer Molly Olmstead visited expecting to find an overlooked upside but reported the opposite, calling the fair a flop marked by thin crowds and flimsy, temporary-looking construction. She wrote that "MAHA Monday," a nod to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Make America Healthy Again movement, relied on lectures rather than entertainment. One session featured Dr. Mehmet Oz interviewed by Dean Cain, the actor who played Superman in the 1990s, before an audience Olmstead put at roughly 50 people in 87-degree heat.
