A federal magistrate judge has ruled that Trump must turn over detailed financial information in connection with his defamation lawsuit against the BBC. The decision opened the door for the BBC to explore the finances of more than 400 companies owned by a Trump family trust.

Duckworth: "He appointed the most incompetent secretary of defense in our nation's history. All he seems to be worried about is testosterone levels in our troops instead of making sure that he actually has a plan to execute this mission in Iran and ending it before even more Americans get killed."

Lindsey Graham was a simple, tragic man to understand. He lacked a moral core. The great empty spaces of his life were filled with an insatiable need for “relevance.” He found it as a cast member in the most malignant reality show ever made. steveschmidt.substack.com/p/lindsey-kn...

Lindsey knew better. He chose worse.
Lindsey Graham was a lonely and unprincipled man who betrayed his country for power and his decency for attention.

Trump (@realDonaldTrump) showing a profile-style card with his name and a formal portrait labeled “Official portrait, 2025.” Below the photo is a table of roles and dates, including a line that reads “Acting President of Venezuela,” with “Incumbent” and “January 2026,” and another line listing “45th & 47th President of the United States,” with “Incumbent.” It also lists “Assumed office: January 20, 2025” and “Vice President: JD Vance.” At the bottom are engagement counts and a timestamp: “8 ReTruths,” “27 Likes,” and “1/11/26, 7:23 PM.”

Pete Buttigieg is absolutely correct. We must hold Noem accountable for what happens in her department.
Screenshot of a post on X by Brian Tyler Cohen (@brian…) quoting Pete Buttigieg. The quote says an ICE agent should have been trained not to stand in front of a vehicle or shoot into a moving vehicle, and claims this happened on Kristi Noem’s watch. It adds that the point of Homeland Security is to make the country more stable and safe, and argues the opposite has occurred under the administration. Below the text is a video thumbnail showing Pete Buttigieg speaking directly to camera indoors, seated in front of a framed picture and a lamp, with a 0:27 timestamp and a speaker icon.
