White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the way Democrats handled themselves during Trump's address to Congress was "shameful."

President Donald Trump is expected to issue an executive order as soon as Thursday to direct new Education Secretary Linda McMahon to close the department down.

The continuation of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire remains uncertain. President Donald Trump has signaled that he has no intentions of pushing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu away from a return to combat if Hamas doesn’t agree to terms to a new ceasefire proposal, which the Israelis have billed as being drafted by U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff.

The White House denied a report that President Donald Trump is planning to revoke the legal immigration status of nearly a quarter million Ukrainians.

Peter Baker, a veteran journalist and former Moscow correspondent for the New York Times, compared the White House’s decision to Kremlin tactics.

A new administration’s efforts to pressure the news media, punish political opponents and tame the nation’s tycoons evoke the early days of President Vladimir V. Putin’s reign in Russia.

The decision departs from a century of tradition in which a pool of independent news organizations go where the chief executive does and holds him accountable on behalf of regular Americans.
