The Supreme Court on Wednesday temporarily blocked a judge's order giving the Trump administration an 11:59 deadline to release billions of dollars in U.S. foreign aid. Chief Justice John Roberts said the order issued by U.S. District Judge Amir H. Ali will remain on hold until the high court has a chance to weigh in more fully. Ali had ordered the federal government to comply with his decision temporarily blocking a freeze on foreign aid, ruling in a lawsuit filed by nonprofit groups and businesses. An appellate panel refused the administration's request to intervene.

Frost (D-Fla.) had used his time to bash President Trump as a “grifter in chief,” which triggered a screaming match and led to Comer barring the 28-year-old from speaking during the hearing. . . Rep.

Former national security adviser John Bolton said President Trump’s mind is “full of mush” as he navigates international affairs and ending the Russia-Ukraine war. Bolton joined CNN’s “The Source” Monday evening, just hours after the U.S. voted against a UN resolution that would have condemned Russia for its invasion of Ukraine. “There are a lot of strange votes of the United Nations that I participated in,” he told host Kaitlan Collins. “It wasn’t so much the vote itself, as the fact we are aligned with what has always been NATO’s principal threat.” “We have sided now, in this vote, with...

CNN - President Donald Trump keeps lying not only about the 2020 election he lost but the 2024 election he won. In a Saturday speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference, Trump correctly noted that he earned 77 million votes in 2024 — then falsely said his vote total was “actually much more than that,” since unspecified people “cheated like hell.” There’s no basis for this claim. Trump’s official vote total is his actual vote total, and there is no evidence of unsuccessful cheating by vote counters or by his Democratic foes. Trump made various other false claims at CPAC,...

On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Laura Coates Live,” Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) said Gen. CQ Brown was removed as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff due to his race and responded to pushback that other officials who are white were dismissed by stating that Brown got called “woke” and “DEI” and “they are substituting these acronyms for the n-word. So, why would you apply the term woke to Gen. Brown? What does that mean?”Clyburn began by saying,” I believe that everybody knows what an outstanding soldier Gen. Brown is and has been, for many, many years. He has a...

TRENTON, NJ – New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy and his minions are messing around with President Donald J. Trump, and soon, they could be finding out in the form of cuts to federal funding for education. Despite a recent executive order from President Trump aimed at barring transgender athletes from participating in school sports aligned with their gender identity, the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA) has announced it will not alter its existing transgender athlete policy. The decision marks a significant act of defiance against the federal directive, setting the stage for a potential clash between state and...

On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Laura Coates Live,” CNN Political Commentator and former Obama Adviser Van Jones said that the only reason he can find to dismiss Gen. CQ Brown as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is “this slander that he’s woke and DEI. Well, if you are the head of a military that is multiracial and multicultural and you want it to be cohesive, you need to have policies in place to help that happen.”
