Trump threatened to "blow up" longtime US ally Oman over the Strait of Hormuz. Here's what's behind the threat.
If you’ve spent time around anyone navigating US immigration, you already know the system rewards patience and punishes surprises. There’s a maze of forms, priority dates, and waiting periods that can stretch for years, and most people who get deep into it have made major life decisions around its assumptions. They’ve bought homes, had children,...
Three months into the Trump-Iran war, the Strait of Hormuz is still contested, peace talks keep stalling, and gas prices are hitting Americans hard.
The rally in Suffern, New York on the evening of May 22, 2026 was billed as an economics event. The banner said “Fighting For American Workers.” The stated purpose was to stump for a vulnerable House Republican ahead of November’s midterms and tout the administration’s record on tax cuts and cost-of-living relief. What it became,...
When a sitting president’s capacity to govern becomes a matter of formal medical record, something has shifted in the national conversation that can’t easily be walked back. Doctors putting their names to a public declaration about a president’s mental state is not the kind of thing that fades into the news cycle. It forces two...
When a former Secretary of Defense goes on national television and says he told the Israeli Prime Minister he was “dead wrong,” not privately, not in a memo, but on camera, it’s the kind of moment that cuts through the political noise.

Margo Martin is an American spokesperson and political advisor who has served as Special Assistant to the President and Communications Advisor since 2025.

Yet right at the center of that same disaster, something unexpected is happening: the island is moving faster than almost any country on earth toward a solar-powered future. That those two facts are simultaneously true is...
The word “FOREVER” sitting in a federal legal document is unusual enough on its own. Seeing it in a one-page addendum that permanently blocks the IRS from examining a sitting president’s tax history is something else entirely. The document was added to the Justice Department’s website on a Tuesday, hours after the acting attorney general...
While many people across the U.S. lost their jobs over social media comments about Charlie Kirk’s death, Larry Bushart’s case stood out as something rarer and harder to shake: a criminal prosecution. A retired police officer, a shared meme, a county in Tennessee still raw from grief, and a chain of events that ended with...
The South Lawn of the White House is one of the most photographed patches of grass in the world. State arrivals, Easter egg rolls, summer barbecues, the familiar sight of a president walking toward a waiting helicopter. It has been, for more than two centuries, a living symbol of the American presidency. Now it may...
When Trump’s plane touched down in Beijing last week, the Chinese internet was ready for him.
