Trump's abrupt Kennedy Center closure poised to spark staff legal battle

Donald Trump's abrupt announcement of an extended closure for the Kennedy Center might now result in a legal battle, according to KFOX 14 News, as the union for employees at the arts center has weighed in.

Trump goes on wild overnight attack against NYT -- demands $1 billion

President Donald Trump extended his late-night tirade against The New York Times early Tuesday, after posting a series of attacks late Monday night. The Times reported that the Trump administration had dropped its $200 million demand for a payment from Harvard University, setting off a fresh burst of anger from the president. "Why hasn't the Fake News New York Times adjusted its phony article on the corruption and antisemitism which has taken place at Harvard," Trump railed Tuesday morning. "They never call for facts, or factchecks, because the Times' is a corrupt, unprincipled, and pathetic vehicle of the Left."

Inside Trump's plot to fix the midterm elections

During his efforts to overturn the election results, Trump pressured local officials to "find" him an additional 11,780 votes. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was on the scene Friday despite having no domestic law enforcement authority. The raid comes amid an ongoing federal probe into the 2020 election.

Military helping Trump build massive network of 'concentration camps'

In the wake of immigration agents' killings of three US citizens within a matter of weeks, the Department of Homeland Security is quietly moving forward with a plan to expand its capacity for mass detention by using a military contract to create what Pablo Manr?quez, the author of the immigration news site Migrant Insider calls "a nationwide 'ghost network' of concentration camps." On Sunday, Manr?quez reported that "a massive Navy contract vehicle, once valued at $10 billion, has ballooned to a staggering $55 billion ceiling to expedite President Donald Trump's 'mass deportation' agenda."

Looking for an answer to the most asked question in US history

I don't like these polls that ask if we simply "approve or disapprove" of the job Donald Trump is doing. These words just seem wildly inadequate in this case. So today I'd like to speak to (and for) the 60 percent or so of us Americans who not only "disapprove" of Trump, but see him at bare minimum as dangerous, grotesque and revolting.

Two Republicans plan to blow up Trump's plan to avoid shutdown

President Donald Trump has previously demanded the pending bill to keep the government funded be sent to his desk promptly, without changes. Two Republicans have a different idea. On Monday, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) tweeted that she is prepared to mount a "standing filibuster" of the bill the Republican-controlled Senate sent to the House of Representatives. Luna is insisting that the SAVE Act - which would require voters provide proof of citizenship before being able to cast a ballot -- be included in the House version of the bill. Luna insisted in her post that Trump supports including the SAVE Act in the final legislation.
