Even for a president who has long relied on maximalist threats, today’s 85-word post was jarring.
It ricocheted from the Oval Office to foreign embassies and corporate suites, setting off a countdown to Trump’s 8 p.m. deadline and a frantic global guessing game over what the world’s most powerful man was prepared to do.
Great team effort across the @WSJ

For nearly two days, injured and alone, a U.S. aviator hid in a remote mountain crevice as Iranian forces closed in on him with helicopters and drones.
“God is good,” he radioed once he reached an elevated ridge, a message that was met with suspicion back in Washington as a possible Iranian trap as officials scrambled to verify he was still alive.

One of Pam Bondi’s last acts before being ousted as Trump’s AG was to quietly authorize a U.S. attorney in North Carolina to pursue probes related to 2020 election fraud across the country—pursuing one of Trump’s biggest fixations into her final days on the job

Two months after signing an executive order threatening tariffs on any country that sends oil to Cuba, Trump now says he has “no problem” with countries doing that.
Reporter: There's a report that the US is going to let a Russian oil tanker go to Cuba?
Trump: If a country wants to send some oil into Cuba, I have no problem with that.
Reporter: Do you worry that that helps Putin?
Trump: It doesn’t help him. He loses one boatload of oil. That’s all it is. It doesn’t bother me.

For the last year, the Trump administration claimed that immigration officers have been under attack.
Vehicle rammings. Bitten fingers. All signs of a rampant uptick in assaults against federal officers.
The government has labeled alleged perpetrators on X as "domestic terrorists" and "extremists."
But, who are they?
Citizens — for the most part. Yet none have been convicted at trial.
Read our latest story to learn how the Department of Homeland Security, created to protect Americans, has turned its force against them. 👇
