President Donald Trump went on a social media rant against ‘highly politicized’ judges that are stopping the work of DOGE.

On Monday alone, five different federal judges ordered halts on Trump actions including his birthright citizenship directive, NIH funding slashes, the federal grants freeze and also his firing of the government’s main ethics chief.

‘Billions of Dollars of FRAUD, WASTE, AND ABUSE, has already been found in the investigation of our incompetently run Government. Now certain activists and highly political judges want us to slow down, or stop,’ he wrote on Truth Social.

‘Losing this momentum will be very detrimental to finding the TRUTH, which is turning out to be a disaster for those involved in running our Government. Much left to find. No Excuses!!!’ 

Trump will meet with the King Abdullah II of Jordan and the Crown Prince today as he pushes forward with his controversial Gaza ‘real estate’ takeover. 

It’s setting up a White House showdown after the president said last night he would be open to cutting off aid to Jordan and Egypt if the countries don’t accept Palestinians from Gaza.

Trump rails against 'highly political' judges stopping DOGE from ripping apart fraud and abuse

Billions of Dollars of FRAUD, WASTE, AND ABUSE, has already been found in the investigation of our incompetently run Government. Now certain activists and highly political judges want us to slow down, or stop. Losing this momentum will be very detrimental to finding the TRUTH, which is turning out to be a disaster for those involved in running our Government. Much left to find. No Excuses!!!

Trump’s post comes after his Vice President JD Vance questioned the authority of judges stopping the executive branch.

In a post to X, Vance wrote that if a judge ‘tried to tell a general how to conduct a military operation, that would be illegal.’

‘If a judge tried to command the attorney general in how to use her discretion as a prosecutor, that’s also illegal. Judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power.’

Speaker Mike Johnson confirmed he agrees with Vance’s analysis when asked during a press conference Tuesday.

Breaking:Trump ally Steve Bannon learns if he'll go back to prison after pleading guilty to 'build the wall' fundraising scheme

The prosecutor on the case said that the parties had ‘worked out a plea agreement’ and Bannon won’t be serving any prison time.

‘The parties have worked out a plea agreement. Mr. Bannon will plead guilty to count 5 of the indictment, which is scheme to defraud in the indictment. He will receive a conditional discharge,’ attorney Jeffrey Levinson said.

Bannon already served time behind bars after being convicted of contempt of Congress.

11th Circuit drops case against Trump valet and property manager at Mar-a-Lago

The 11th Circuit finally dropped the case against President Donald Trump’s valet and property manager at Mar-a-Lago after they were charged with obstructing the FBI’s search at his club for classified documents in his possession.

The Justice Department ended the criminal case two weeks ago, even after it was dismissed in July by U.S. district Judge Aileen Cannon.

Cannon tossed out the case, finding that the special counsel Jack Smith was illegally appointed.

Trump given power to rename Greenland 'Red, White and Blueland'

President Donald Trump would have the power to rename Greenland the ‘Red, White and Blueland,’ under a new bill introduced in Congress.

The legislation gives Trump the power to enter into negotiations with Denmark to acquire Greenland and give the island the new moniker.

Republican Rep. Buddy Carter of Georgia introduced the bill on Monday. It still needs to pass the House and Senate.

Trump claims America needs the island for security reasons. He’s also been on a renaming kick: on Sunday he signed an executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America.

Jared Kushner takes on role in Trump's Gaza takeover

By Katelyn Caralle, Senior U.S. Political Reporter

When Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was in Washington, D.C. last week for meetings with President Donald Trump, he also privately huddled with Jared Kushner, according to Axios.

Bibi and Kushner discussed the U.S. president’s recently proposed plans to rebuild Gaza. They also discussed other matters related to Israeli and Middle East relations.

It comes after Trump divulged in an interview that aired Monday evening that he doesn’t see a situation where Palestinians could return to the only land they’ve ever known as home if he were to go in and help develop the war-torn Gaza Strip.

In Trump’s first term, Kushner helped negotiate the Abraham Accords in a historic move to forge relationships with Israel and its neighboring countries in the hostile region.

And reports emerged earlier this year that Kushner, who is married to Trump’s eldest daughter Ivanka, would take on an unofficial advisement role from afar regarding Middle East affairs after previously saying he would not be involved in his father-in-law’s second term.

Chelsea Clinton breaks silence on claims she received $84million from USAID

Chelsea Clinton claims that ‘misinformation’ has been weaponized against her after claims she was gifted $84million from the under fire United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

Elon Musk and President Donald Trump have attempted to shut down the embattled government agency tasked with humanitarian relief overseas after they agreed the organization was ‘beyond repair’ and wasting billions.

The billionaire ‘first buddy’ led a civilian review of the federal government with Trump’s go-ahead and decided this week to shut down the agency.

The US is by far the world’s largest donor of humanitarian aid, with USAID administering billions of dollars in humanitarian, development and security assistance in more than 100 countries.

Trump threatens to cut off aid to Jordan and Egypt if countries don't take Palestinians from Gaza

President Donald Trump said Monday night that he would be open to cutting off aid to Jordan and Egypt if the countries don’t accept Palestinians from Gaza.

Trump spoke to reporters in the Oval Office where he issued a final ultimatum to Hamas saying ‘all hell will break loose' if every remaining hostage is not returned to Israel by noon on Saturday.

He was also asked more about his plan to have Palestinians move into nearby countries, including Jordan and Egypt, while the U.S. turns their homeland of Gaza into the ‘Riviera of the Middle East,’ a pitch he made alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last week.

Pete Hegseth changes Fort Liberty back to Fort Bragg after Army's attempt to erase Confederate names

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced Monday night that Fort Liberty would be again named Fort Bragg – but with a twist.

In 2023, Fort Bragg – located outside of Fayetteville, North Carolina – was renamed Fort Liberty, so that it would no longer be named after a Confederate general.

The base was originally named Fort Bragg in 1918 after Confederate Gen. Braxton Bragg.

Trump threatens to cancel ceasefire deal and 'let all hell break loose' if all hostages are not released by noon on Saturday

President Donald Trump threatened Hamas that he would cancel Israel’s ceasefire on Gaza and ‘let all hell break loose’ if all of the 76 remaining hostages are not released by noon on Saturday.

The president made the comments as he was signing executive orders in the Oval Office Monday evening, after the terror group announced it was scrapping a scheduled hostage release.

But he noted that the decision to end the ceasefire – which went into effect on January 20 – ultimately lies with the Israeli government.
