While mainstream media is talking about potential invasions of Greenland and Panama, Donald Trump and Elon Musk are making advancements in their real war effort, according to a columnist's analysis.

National opinion columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer, Will Bunch, is no stranger to issues related to the president-elect.

Donald Trump on Saturday sided with appointee Elon Musk over MAGA influencers including Laura Loomer, a report suggests.

Loomer is among those who have picked a fight with Musk over certain immigration visas, which he says are necessary for him and other executives to conduct their regular business. Far-right Trump supporters argued that big businesses should instead rely upon talented workers from the United States.

Donald Trump was warned on Saturday that, if he keeps catering to the "Mar-a-Lago crowd," he's going to learn how quickly things will fall apart for him and his major coalition.

Former White House speech writer Jesse Moore appeared on MSNBC over the weekend to discuss Trump's ongoing transition.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), who is the presumptive next United Nations (U.N.) ambassador is one of President-elect Donald Trump's more traditional Cabinet appointments, and is unlikely to face a tough confirmation battle in the Senate. But one former Trump administration official is hoping she'll usher in drastic cuts to the U.N.'s budget during the president-elect's second term.

In an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal, John Bolton — who was former President George W. Bush's U.N. ambassador before briefly serving as Trump's National Security Advisor in 2018 — laid out his proposal for what he hopes Stefanik and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), who is Trump's secretary of state-designate, accomplish at the U.N. over the next four years. Bolton is particularly hoping Stefanik, Rubio and Trump will do away with a U.N. funding mechanism that he likened to "taxation of America by other U.N. members."

Donald Trump has submitted a filing to the Supreme Court regarding the TikTok case brought by the Justice Department, which the court will decide in the coming session.

The lawsuit brought by the DOJ alleges "violations of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act and its implementing regulations (COPPA)."

Montenegro said Friday it will extradite to the United States the South Korean cryptocurrency specialist Do Kwon, who is also wanted by Seoul for the multi-billion-dollar bankruptcy of his company, Terraform Labs.

His lawyers denounced the decision as illegal and contrary to European conventions on extradition.

Slovakia on Friday confirmed its readiness to host peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, despite Kyiv's accusation that it is playing into the hands of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The Russian leader on Thursday called it "acceptable" for the country to become a "platform" for dialogue over the conflict, which US President-elect Donald Trump has said he could end after he takes office in January.

A new report from Amy Maxmen of KFF Health News highlights the potential danger of bird flu turning into a full-blown pandemic in the United States.

In particular, Maxmen, an award-winning journalist in New York City who covers public health, science policy, and inequality, spoke with several experts who said the United States has been behind the ball when it comes to keeping a handle on the pandemic and they point to the fact that the United States Department of Agriculture has only recently started testing milk nationwide for bird flu contamination.

Key members of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's cabinet traveled to Florida on Thursday for talks with representatives of US President-elect Donald Trump, as Ottawa works to avert a potentially devastating trade war.

Newly appointed Finance Minister Dominic Leblanc and Foreign Minister Melanie Joly flew to Palm Beach, Florida, "to meet with officials from the incoming Trump administration," Leblanc spokesman Jean-Sebastien Comeau said in a statement sent to AFP.

Trump devotee Laura Loomer says she is paying a price for her criticisms of X owner Elon Musk.

In recent days, Loomer and many other MAGA devotees have been criticizing Musk after he said that America needs to import more top-tier engineering talent from other countries because there simply aren't enough American-born engineers talented enough to meet demand.

Donald Trump has been threatening to take over sovereign territories and reclaim control of the Panama Canal, and sources revealed the motives for his bluster.

The president-elect has been fascinated with buying Greenland since his first term in the White House, although the autonomous Danish territory isn't for sale, in addition to apparent jokes about making Canada a state and taking back control over the crucial canal, and CNN's Alayna Treene spoke to advisers to learn what's behind his threats.
