Donald Trump's White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles has divulged stunning details about the inner workings of the administration in an explosive new report. 

Wiles, 68, speaking with Vanity Fair over the course of the last year, likened Trump to her own late alcoholic father and legendary sportscaster Pat Summerall, noting the president has 'an alcoholic's personality.'

Did you have immigration lawyer watch list on your 2025 authoritarianism BINGO card? If so, congrats! But for everyone else, it’s yet another sad slide into federal control to learn that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) posted what appears to be a covert roster of immigration attorneys buried on its own website.

The list was discovered by attorney Arlene Amarante, who stumbled upon the list while interacting with ICE’s website and found her own name on it. The list has since been pulled from the website, which is usually what agencies do when a documents is totally normal. Now Al Otro Lado, an immigration advocacy group, has filed a Freedom of Information Act request demanding to know who created the list, why it existed, and what ICE thought it was doing cataloging attorneys in the first place.

Amarante noticed something else about the list that raised even more concerns, as she told WGNO, “One of the troubling patterns I suppose that I recognized, was that a large number of these practitioners on the list were people of color.”

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) said any voter, regardless of party affiliation, is welcome to support her campaign to be one of the Lone Star State’s senators.

“I’m a Texan, and so at the end of the day, I think people are trying to say it has to be one [party] or the other, and I believe it has to be both. I think that we’re going to see frustration. We’re going to see people that are regretting that they voted for Trump. And those people are absolutely welcome in our campaign,” Crockett said during an interview on MS NOW on Saturday.

“My attitude is we need to focus on what matters most to Texans. I can tell you that our farmers and ranchers, they’ve already been feeling the heat before Trump got in there, because the Republicans would not allow for a farm bill to be passed out of the House. He’s only exacerbated their problems. And that’s why there’s record numbers of bankruptcies that are being filed right now,” she continued.

Crockett’s desire to garner voters from both sides comes after announcing her bid for the upper chamber last week, challenging Texas State Rep. James Talarico. He, like Crockett, is a rising star in the Democratic Party. Just before Crockett announced her run, former Rep. Colin Allred (D) dropped out of the Senate race in favor of running for a House seat.

Talarico welcomed a bid against Crockett, saying that the Democratic movement is rooted in unity over division.

President Donald Trump's administration is now responding to a lawsuit seeking to halt construction of his proposed new White House ballroom.

The Associated Press (AP) reported Monday that Trump is now justifying the construction of his $300 million ballroom – which would replace the demolished East Wing of the White House — by claiming it's necessary for "national security" purposes. U.S. Secret Service officials told the judge assigned to a lawsuit filed by the National Trust for Historic Preservation in the United States that construction on the site where the East Wing used to stand had to continue to meet unspecified "safety and security requirements."

The public can’t shake its fixation on the distracting bulge inside of Donald Trump’s pants. His continued silence on the issue has further fueled speculation that the president, 79, has reached a point in life where underwear is swapped for adult diapers.

Rumors of his alleged diaper usage grew from a years-long whisper to roaring speculation when Trump returned to the White House for a second term in January. Theories about his bathroom and hygiene tendencies worsened as people began to observe the awkward folds in his pants, long coat jackets to cover his rump, and, at times, a bag-like protrusion in the area of his crotch.

President Donald Trump's mockery of the slain Hollywood star Rob Reiner earned a stern rebuke from The Atlantic's John Dickerson, who scorched the MAGA leader for using grief as a "plaything."

Dickerson wrote Monday that the violent deaths of Reiner and his wife ignited a moment of national reflection, as much of Reiner's work was woven into America's collective experience, with films like "The Princess Bride," "Stand by Me," and "When Harry Met Sally."

"What was not called for—in the moment, in the psychology handbook, or in the traditions of the American presidency—was Donald Trump’s response," wrote Dickerson, formerly a CBS News correspondent.

He did not declare war on Venezuela. 🌐

Trump's overnight address to the nation lasted 15 minutes and turned out to be, as always, a routine boast.

His statements: 🗣

Our country was laughed at all over the world - now they are no longer laughing. I inherited a mess and I'm fixing it now. 🧷 The number of drugs imported by sea and by air decreased by 94%. 🛳 Wages are growing much faster than inflation. 📈

The Ah Louis Store in San Luis Obispo, California, turns into a winter wonderland every holiday season ❄️🎄

Green garlands, giant nutcrackers, baubles and bows go up in early November on the historic downtown building that houses the gift shop. 🏛🎁 Inside, customers can choose from over 500 different types of ornaments and a variety of holiday gift baskets. 🧸✨

“We really just make it a magical spot,” co-owner Emily Butler said. 🪄
“Whether you come in or not, we want to make sure that we’re spreading that holiday joy.” 🎅🎉

But Butler says she and her twin sister-business partner had to work harder this year to turn browsers into buyers and to make a profit. 📉💰 Many of the decorations and stocking stuffers they sell are made overseas and either did not arrive or got more expensive when President Donald Trump imposed unusually high taxes on imported goods, she said. 📦📈

Trump has approved a new NASA plan in which the United States wants to install a nuclear reactor on the Moon. 🌏🚀✨

US President Donald Trump has approved a new space strategy that returns the United States to the moon with nuclear technology. 🔋🌑

The document gives NASA the green light for the development of the Artemis program: by 2028, American astronauts should land on the Moon again, and by 2030 they plan to create a permanent US base there. 🌗🏆

One of the most resonant details of the plan is a bet on nuclear energy. ☢️
The United States intends to develop and send nuclear reactors into space, as well as install its own lunar nuclear reactor on the surface of the Moon. ✨
It should provide energy for the future base and, according to the White House, will be ready for launch by the end of the decade. 📍

The matter is not limited to the lunar program.
Trump's strategy also includes the Golden Dome project, a system to protect against threats from outer space. 🛰⭐️

We are talking about new early warning devices that will be able to track hazards in near-Earth space and in the zone between the Earth and the Moon. 🪐💥

At the same time, the White House is counting on the economic impact: it is assumed that Trump's decree should attract at least $ 50 billion in investments in the American space sector and reform government procurement of space technologies. 💲

The Department of Justice was forced into a U-turn on its release of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein after a photo of President Donald Trump was temporarily removed from the files.

The missing photo depicted Trump alongside his wife Melania, Epstein, and the sexual offender's longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell. It was taken in February 2000 at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate and was one of the few photos in which the president appeared in the documents as federal agents raided Epstein's New York City townhouse.

Denmark summoned the US ambassador over Greenland

US President Donald Trump has appointed Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry as his special envoy for Greenland. He justified this by saying that Landry understands "how important Greenland is to our national security, and he will resolutely defend the interests of our country."

Denmark, which owns Greenland, reacted with indignation to another manifestation of Trump's claims to the island. Foreign Minister Lars Loekke Rasmussen called the appointment of a special envoy "completely unacceptable." The Danish government has summoned the American ambassador in Copenhagen to protest.
