- Description
- President Trump told reporters at the Cabinet meeting Friday that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), not Iran, was behind the recent cyberattacks on water systems in Minnesota.
"You know who's behind it? Minnesota, because they're grossly incompetent," he said. "I think the governor is behind it, I don't think there was an Iranian cyberattack."
Earlier this week, several states, including 30 water systems in Minnesota, were hit by cyberattacks as hackers attempted to degrade water infrastructure.
President Trump added that Minnesota "ought to get its act together," calling it "one of the worst run states."
The president's claim comes as multiple media outlets have reported that investigators and U.S. officials suspect Iran was behind the attacks.
Gov. Walz shot back in a post on X, "Trump knows exactly who is responsible for this attack, and knows that other states were hit too. This is what modern warfare looks like, and it fu...

- President Trump criticized Spain for the migrant crisis in Ceuta during his Cabinet meeting on Friday and warned the U.S. could face a similar fate if Democrats win the midterm elections.
“I saw Spain yesterday, and I watched the catastrophe that took place. It looks like an invasion of a country,” he said. "...and that same thing’s going to happen to us if the Republicans don’t get elected, except worse, much bigger, much easier to get into.”
Around 60,000 migrants have crossed from Morocco into the Spanish territory of Ceuta since Thursday, causing a humanitarian and security emergency that resulted in over 40 deaths.
President Trump blamed Spain, calling it "weak law, bad management, but very liberal law." He continued that the incident is a "talking point" for the U.S. midterm elections.
The Spanish government deployed its military and said that half of the migrants have voluntarily headed back, but the surge sparked pol...

Michael Allen served as majority staff director for the House Intelligence Committee and as senior director for the National Security Council during the George W. Bush administration. Evelyn Farkas served as deputy assistant Defense secretary during the Obama administration.

- President Trump arrived at Camp David, a presidential retreat in Maryland, to convene his Cabinet on Friday.
The meeting comes amid high Iran tensions and its detrimental effects on the U.S. economy, which caused the president's approval rating on the economy to hit a new low this week.
"It's the first time ever," the president told reporters before being transported by a golf cart.
The president has held a Cabinet meeting at this retreat during his first term, but today's gathering marks the first meeting in his second term, after an attempt in May was suspended due to bad weather.

- President Trump announced the "Freedom Haulers" initiative on Thursday, which aims to connect military veterans with commercial truck driving careers.
"We're also taking actions to replace these unqualified migrant truck drivers with highly qualified American veterans," the president announced from the White House.
Under the new initiative, veterans with experience driving heavy trucks in the military will "automatically be eligible for a commercial driver's license," while those without that experience will receive training.
The campaign is part of the administration's broader effort to fill workforce shortages following its crackdown on undocumented immigrants.
In April 2025, the president signed an executive order requiring commercial truck drivers to read, write and speak English proficiently.
"We've already moved more than 24,000 non-English speakers from behind the wheel," he said.

"I think if this were just between me and Todd Blanche, we would have worked this out."
The fund, which was widely panned on Capitol Hill, was part of the Justice Department-brokered settlement President Trump reached with the IRS earlier this year over the leaking of his tax returns during his first administration.

- Description
- Dr. Anthony Fauci called to testify before a Senate committee under subpoena about his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic invokes his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination over 100 times. Committee Chair Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) accused Dr. Fauci of covering up evidence of the "lab leak" theory for coronavirus. Dr. Fauci calls Sen. Paul "unhinged" and trying to trap him in any lie before Congress to start a prosecution. And Sen. Paul is threatening to hold Dr. Fauci in contempt of Congress.
President Donald Trump says the U.S. would be hitting Iran hard and "smacking them a little bit" after an attempted Iranian surprise missile attack on American targets in the Middle East.
Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh announced the Fed is keeping interest rates steady for a fifth consecutive meeting, but the Fed is still determined to bring down inflation.

- President Trump on Wednesday said the U.S. would hit Iran "very hard" as the war escalates following a dayslong lull in the fighting.
"We're going to be hitting them very hard, because it's our turn to hit them," he said in response to Iran targeting U.S. military forces in the Middle East on Tuesday night.
U.S. Central Command said it thwarted an "attempted surprise attack" by Iran's Revolutionary Guard, which it said launched multiple ballistic missiles at U.S. forces in the region. The military said all of the missiles were "successfully intercepted."
"They've already apologized, but you know, we've got to smack them a little bit," the president told reporters in the Oval Office.
After a roughly three-day pause following weeks of fighting, the conflict has intensified again, drawing more countries into the war.

- Description
- President Trump on Wednesday attributed the Federal Reserve's decision to hold interest rates steady to politics, saying his handpicked chairman, Kevin Warsh, wants rates to be lowered but was dealing with a "political" board.
"Kevin's fantastic, but he's got a board," he told reporters after the central bank announced it was holding rates at a range of 3.5% to 3.75%. "He's a brilliant guy, smart. I know he'd love to see lower interest rates, but he's got a board and it's a political board and they want to keep rates up. But we fight through rates."
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) vote was 9–3, with the three dissenters, all regional bank presidents, favoring a 25-basis-point rate hike to address inflation, which has now run above the central bank's 2% target for more than five years.
Mr. Warsh voted to keep rates steady and reiterated at a press conference that the central bank remained focused on restoring price stability.

- The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady on Wednesday amid growing pressure to take a firmer approach to bringing inflation back to the central bank's longstanding 2% target.
The move leaves the target range for the federal funds rate at 3.5% to 3.75%, where it has been since December following three consecutive rate cuts.
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) vote was 9–3, with the three dissenters, all regional bank presidents, favoring a 25-basis-point rate hike to address inflation, which has now run above the central bank's target for more than five years.
The meeting, the second led by new Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh, marked the first time since September 2016 that three policymakers dissented with the same view of where rates should be.
The outcome of the vote was uncertain heading into the two-day policy meeting, with investors giving it roughly a one-in-three chance of a 25-basis-point rate hike.

- Description
- Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) called Dr. Anthony Fauci's refusal to answer questions before the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee "inexcusable" and said a contempt of Congress vote would be an "option" available to senators.
"Certainly, his answers today were completely inadequate, and I think that's an option that ought to be available to us," he told reporters Wednesday. "What he did today in front of that committee was inexcusable."
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), the committee's chair, said he planned to hold a contempt vote next week after the infectious disease expert invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and declined to answer questions from the panel about the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Even if it's approved by the committee, the contempt resolution would require 60 votes in the full Senate, making its passage extremely unlikely.

I need a lot of letters, diary entries. And because men were thought to be more important, their letters were kept, and often the letters written by the women were not kept. So, this is why it's slightly skewed towards men."

The Ohio Republican said he decided to run for office after hearing about a woman being arrested at a middle school football game in Ohio in 2020 for refusing to wear a mask, violating the school's policy at the time.
"Here I am sitting in front of you six years later, saying, who the fuck do you think you were for doing that?" he said, seemingly drawing a connection between Dr. Fauci's advocacy for masks at the start of the pandemic and the school's policy.

And it was in the 18th century, astronomers went across the world to measure the entry and the exit time. And they could use that by kind of complicated triangulation to calculate the distance between Sun and Earth, which then became the yardstick to have the distances of the whole solar system. So it's the first scientific collaboration, and it's an extraordinary moment where in 1761, in the middle of the Seven Years War, you have hundreds of astronomers spreading out, working together, because they all have to share their different timing and then calculate, but only when they do it together."

Sen. Paul had warned Dr. Fauci of "repercussions" for refusing to answer the panel's questions on Wednesday.
"The committee will have to consider after this hearing what appropriate action should be taken against you for the failure to testify after being directed to do so," he said. "It's against the law to obstruct an investigation of Congress. There will be repercussions to your refusal to testify today."
Mr. Schertler then tried to defend Dr. Fauci but was cut off by Sen. Paul, who said he was not recognized to speak.
