It has been a rough week for two of President Trump’s most prominent cabinet secretaries. In separate but related events, both tried to flex the immense power of the executive branch. And in both cases, they were met with a simple, unified, and stunningly effective response: No. The widespread refusal by the nation’s airports to…

Trump appointed U.S. attorneys in blue states without Senate confirmation, using legal workarounds to bypass the “blue slip” tradition requiring home-state senators’ approval. Now the prosecutions these attorneys brought – against James Comey, New York Attorney General Letitia James, and others – face dismissal because courts are questioning whether the prosecutors had legal authority to…

On a street in Washington D.C., a citizen filmed federal agents making an arrest. A tense confrontation ensued, ending with the citizen herself in handcuffs, facing a serious felony charge for assaulting a federal officer.

The irony is so heavy it’s almost crushing: Bolton publicly criticized Trump’s handling of classified…

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave reporters until 5 p.m. Tuesday to sign a new policy agreement or lose Pentagon access permanently. Nearly every major news organization refused. Starting Wednesday, for the first time since the Eisenhower administration, no major U.S. television network or publication will have a permanent presence in the Pentagon. The policy requires…

The government has been closed for two weeks. President Trump redirected $8 billion in Pentagon research funds to pay troops. The Office of Management and Budget began mass firings over the weekend. Senate Democrats blocked their eighth attempt to reopen government Tuesday. And the president called Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer “a weakened politician” who…

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…
