John Bolton, the hawkish former National Security Advisor who attacked Trump for mishandling classified documents, was indicted Thursday on 18 counts of doing exactly that – transmitting and retaining thousands of pages of top secret material at his Maryland home. The irony is so heavy it’s almost crushing: Bolton publicly criticized Trump’s handling of classified…

President Trump stood in the Rose Garden Tuesday and posthumously awarded Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom on what would have been the conservative activist’s 32nd birthday. Kirk’s widow Erika accepted the award, sharing through tears what their 3-year-old daughter wanted to tell her father: “Happy birthday, Daddy. I want to give you a…

The White House physician has declared the 79-year-old President to be in “exceptional health” following his second “annual” physical in just six months. But this latest visit to Walter Reed Medical Center – coming after a string of unexplained health incidents and a recent diagnosis for a chronic condition – has reignited one of the…

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Friday that Qatar will establish an air force facility at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho, and the MAGA movement is in open revolt. Laura Loomer says she’s “never felt more betrayed by the GOP.” Steve Bannon told Newsweek “there should never be a military base of a foreign…

Or is it a form of medical conduct that the government has the power to regulate, and even ban? This is the profound and deeply divisive constitutional question that the Supreme Court confronted on Tuesday.…

President Trump shut down the government for 35 days in 2019 fighting for his border wall, and it was a political disaster. He owned it, cameras caught him owning it, and he eventually caved with nothing to show for it. Fast forward to October 2025, and Trump’s playing an entirely different game. This shutdown isn’t…

Iran just did something remarkable: it publicly endorsed Hamas’s response to Trump’s Gaza peace plan while simultaneously warning about the plan’s “dangerous dimensions.” That carefully worded statement from Iran’s Foreign Ministry on Sunday reveals the precarious constitutional position Trump has put himself in. He’s negotiating a peace deal that requires buy-in from a terrorist organization,…
