White House’s angry threat over planned Trump probes

The White House is going on a pre-emptive offensive against any planned Democrat investigations into the Trump family and other administration figures next year, claiming such probes amount to “blatant criminality”. After their comprehensive victories in the recent midterm elections, during which voters cited “corruption” as one of their top issues in exit polling, the triumphant Democrats have flagged that they will launch multiple probes. US President Donald Trump is facing multiple investigations when the Democrats take control of Congress next year. Nathan Howard In a newly-published letter, White House legal counsel Will Scharf warned Democratic Representative Robert Garcia, the incoming head of the powerful House Oversight Committee, that the probes could potentially b...

A blue tsunami just hit the US. Trump may unleash ‘tremendous powers’ to get around it

Heading into the midterm elections, there were predictions of a blue wave crashing over the United States. The forecasts proved conservative, in more ways than one; a tsunami of Democratic support destroyed the Republican stranglehold on the House and Senate, and with it, Donald Trump’s control of Congress. But what does it actually mean for the president? First up, it shows just how unpopular he and his administration are. This was Trump’s first electoral test since his emphatic victory over Kamala Harris in 2024, and he repeatedly urged voters to vote as if his name were on the ballot. The results are damning: Huge swings against the Republicans in districts Trump easily carried two years ago; a swath of House seats flipping to the Democrats; crucially, at least six ...

"Oil Prices are DROPPING LIKE A ROCK, down almost $10 a Barrel, A RECORD, because people feel that there will not be a War with Iran," Trump wrote. "Iran wants a settlement, as soon as possible.

Trump’s closing midterm message is on the topic voters care about the least

On the day before the election which will determine the fate of Donald Trump’s remaining time in office, the president has given a speech centred on an issue voters resoundingly don’t care about. Trump’s closing message was delivered at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington DC.

There have been unflattering headlines about the reflecting pool after a botched renovation ordered by Trump resulted in the iconic landmark turning green. The administration also blamed peeling coating on vandalism, a claim that has since been deb...
