It’s gotten to the point where his White House handlers don’t let him out much and mostly keep him sitting in the White House while the administration’s sycophantic press asks questions and lets the president ramble.The American people don’t see Trump in the wild very often, because when he is released into a room in front of a crowd, the results are often not pretty. These events show the American people declining state of Trump’s cognitive abilities. PoliticusUSA news and opinions are 100% independent. Support us by becoming a…

Rep. James Comer (R-KY) will likely go down in House history as one of the worst chairmen of the powerful Oversight Committee in congressional history. Comer became famous in political circles for his partisan investigations that ended in failure.Who can forget the years-long impeachment investigation of former President Joe Biden? which began as an investigation in search of a crime, and ended one day in a disappearance without any article of impeachment ever being submitted to the full House for a final vote?PoliticusUSA is not beholden to any political party or special interest.

How the White House didn’t see this coming is mind-boggling. For some reason, the administration thought it could get away with trying to bring criminal charges against the sitting Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell.Powell is a conservative Republican with a lot of power, especially in the markets. The administration did not seem to understand that messing with Powell through a fake investigation would lead to instability and market disruption.PoliticusUSA is 100% independent.

Donald Trump has undertaken a misguided mission by stripping the Federal Reserve of its independence so that he can lower interest rates at will, even though he fails to understand that doing so in today’s economy will lead to increased inflation and higher prices. Trump has threatened and insulted Jerome Powell since returning to office, but his smear campaign has failed, so the president is using his DOJ to investigate Powell in hopes of getting him to resign. The Wall Street Journal reported:U.S. prosecutors are investigating Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell following his testimony last summer about the central bank’s…
Republicans and elites in the media and other parts of society have perpetuated the myth that most Americans are conservative or right-leaning like them.Democratic Party elites and strategists bought into this entirely created myth after the 2024 election when they advised Democrats to move to the right and treat Trump as if he had a mandate. This elitist thinking shapes the way some potential 2028 presidential candidates organize their campaigns. Question after question, Americans show that they are much more center-left than conservative. Whether it’s health care, the economy, or immigration, a majority of Americans tend to lean center-left and…
EDS It may seem big and haphazard at the moment, but like any part of the executive branch, it needs money to function. Government funding expires at the end of January. DHS must pass a new budget before then or it will run out of money.After the filming of Renée Good, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem signed an illegal order stating that any member of Congress must provide one week’s notice before they can visit an ICE facility. Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) posted on Bluesky that Noem’s action is one of the reasons Congress needs to rein in ICE:Members of Congress…
There have been rumors about Kristi Noem potentially replaced as DHS secretary for months. Trump is unhappy with Noem not because she leads an increasingly lawless department that has killed American citizens. Trump is angry with Noem because DHS consistently misses the administration’s deportation goals. Trump wants more cruelty and faster deportations. The murder of Renee Good in Minneapolis, Minnesota, certainly won’t speed things up on the eviction front. Nationwide protests continue after Good’s killing.PoliticusUSA is 100% independent.

The political lay of the land should tell every American that DHS Sec. Kristi Noem will not be impeached in 2026. House Republicans will never allow an impeachment inquiry or vote on impeachment to take place in the House.It won’t happen, but that doesn’t change the fact that it exists a crisis which takes place at the Department of Homeland Security.PoliticusUSA is 100% independent and not beholden to any political party, billionaire, or special interest.

Even amid the chaos Trump is causing at home and abroad, midterm elections still loom on the horizon, and you only have to look further than Congress to see that the upcoming election is already being factored into political calculations.In the Senate, five Republicans angered Trump by voting with Democrats on a resolution to amend the War Powers Act to prevent Trump from taking further action in Venezuela. In the House, dozens of Republicans broke with Trump and President Mike Johnson to pass a three-year extension of Obamacare subsidies. as tens of millions of Americans face skyrocketing health insurance premiums.PoliticusUSA…
