Stephen Miller has been by President Trump's side for most of the last 10 years of the president's political career, taking center stage on some of the president's biggest battles – from border security to culture wars.
The crackdown on crime in the nation's capital is Miller's latest project, working to make his own mark as Trump and his administration officials fan out across the city to highlight a federal take over. |

California will ask voters this fall to decide whether to redraw this state's congressional lines after its Democratic-controlled Legislature formally approved a sweeping redistricting plan on Thursday, a response to GOP-led efforts in Texas. The plan, if voters give it the green light, could give Democrats five additional House seats, potentially nullifying the gains Republicans hope to get through Texas redistricting. |

President Trump is seeing a growing disapproval rating among Americans seven months into his second White House term, according to a Friday survey.

President Trump's border czar Tom Homan said on Saturday that a Florida judge's order to temporarily shut down some of Alligator Alcatraz is "not going to stop" Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations, indicating that migrants apprehended by federal agents could be sent to other detention facilities. "They're not going to stop us doing what we're doing. We'll follow the judge's order and we'll litigate and we'll appeal it. But [the] bottom line is, we're going to continue to arrest public safety threats and national security threats every day across this country," Homan said in an exclusive interview with NewsNation, The Hill's sister network. |

Former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley condemned the Trump administration's decision to take a 10 percent stake in Intel. "Biden was wrong to subsidize the private sector with the Chips Act using our tax dollars. The counter to Biden is not to lean in and have govt own part of Intel," Haley, who was the UN ambassador during President Trump's first term, said in a Saturday post on social platform X. "This will only lead to more government subsidies and less productivity. Intel will become a test case of what not to do." |

Former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta weighed in on the FBI's raid of President Trump's former national security adviser John Bolton, suggesting Friday night that there's "some targeting here going on." "We don't know all the facts here because we don't know what the Justice Department said to a magistrate judge in order to get a warrant," Panetta said during his appearance on CNN's "Erin Burnett Outfront." |

President Trump selected Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia this week as the U.S.'s first chief design officer as part of the administration's push to update the federal government's design language to be both "usable and beautiful." Gebbia, who joined the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) earlier this year and is on the board of Tesla, said Saturday that his directive is to improve the government's services to be as "satisfying to use as the Apple Store: beautifully designed, great user experience, run on modern software." |

OPINION | Artificial intelligence threatens to cause a jobs shock across offices, warehouses, call centers, clinics, classrooms and more. Faced with backlash among displaced workers, the industry and its lobbyists will likely lean on cash‑transfer schemes — universal basic income and its like — as a release valve. That path would paper over dislocation while entrenching gatekeepers. It would weaken bargaining power at work and create new and unintended social and fiscal dependencies. |
OPINION | Earlier this month, the State Department released its annual Country Reports on Human Rights Practices, which provide nation-by-nation human rights analysis about the previous year. Such reports often reveal political compromises — but, distinct from past years, the department under Secretary of State Marco Rubio has dramatically distorted the human rights records of abusive governments with whom the U.S. has vested interests. This includes especially El Salvador, about whom the State Department is, frankly, lying to the international community. |
