AlterNet Crooks and Liars Daily Kos (Note: these articles are from RSS News Feeds websites, and are deleted after 30 days, February 3, 2026 at 9:57 PM EST President Donald Trump has frequently had to answer for one of his top advisors, who has angered everyone from ordinary Americans, to Republican senators and even CEOs of public traded corporations. However, the president has yet to take any concrete action to limit his influence and power. The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller - who has been a key member of Trump's inner circle since his first administration - is an increasingly divisive figure in the president's second term. Trump's hardline immigration enforcement tactics seen in Minneapolis and Chicago are the brainchild of Miller, who convinced the president to center his 2024 campaign on immigration rather than the economy. February 3, 2026 at 9:16 PM EST After putting his name on the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, President Donald Trump is closing it. National Review writer Jeffrey Blehar argues that Trump's stated reason of conducting repairs and maintenance is simply window dressing masking the real reason for the facility's sudden closure. President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he was shuttering the Kennedy Center completely during America's Semiquincentennial year of celebration, with Blehar quipping that the president did it "for, uh, two years of retooling and refurbishing." February 3, 2026 at 8:59 PM EST Despite Pope Leo XIV repeatedly calling on Christians to honor the Bible's multiple instructions to care for and welcome immigrants and refugees, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is insisting that the scripture says otherwise. The Daily Beast reported Tuesday that Johnson was confronted in a Capitol Hill hallway by a reporter who asked him about the pontiff's words on providing a safe haven to immigrants fleeing oppression. Pablo Manriquez -- a reporter with liberal outlet MeidasTouch -- asked the speaker: "Pope Leo has cited Matthew 25:35 to critique Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda. How would you respond to Pope Leo in scripture?" February 3, 2026 at 8:29 PM EST American Conservative writer Spencer Neale says "you would be forgiven for wondering from time to time if Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is still alive," but he adds that Trump is only four years McConnell's junior -- yet MAGA won't admit it. "McConnell's declining health (he has been spotted falling on multiple occasions) and his accelerating age are not uncommon sights in Washington DC, where Congress has become fertile ground for boomers who refuse to go quietly into that good night," Neale said. -- Nor are the pair alone in their desire to remain in DC. " Dianne Feinstein, the first female mayor of San Francisco and the first female senator from the state of California, served more than 30 years in the U.S. Capitol before being reduced to a punchline as the then-89-year-old publicly battled health issues." February 3, 2026 at 7:46 PM EST President Donald Trump won't be in attendance at the biggest sporting event in the United States this year. And according to a new report, he's skipping out over fears that he may be booed by tens of thousands of people. On Tuesday, Zeteo's Asawin Suebsaeng and Andrew Perez reported that one unnamed White House official feared Trump would get booed "big league" at Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara, California (the home stadium of the San Francisco 49ers). Suebsaeng and Perez wrote that Trump's advisors feared a wave of boos at the Super Bowl "would instantly create a wealth of viral video clips and media coverage that administration officials would prefer to avoid." February 3, 2026 at 6:03 PM EST President Donald Trump spent part of a recent press conference in the Oval Office admonishing a female reporter who asked him about convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. During a Tuesday bill-signing event in the Oval Office, Trump took questions from journalists in an impromptu press conference. At one point, CNN host Kaitlan Collins asked Trump about two of his associates - Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Tesla CEO Elon Musk - being mentioned in the latest batch of Epstein files. Trump shrugged off those two names, saying "I'm sure they're fine. Otherwise there would have been major headlines." February 3, 2026 at 5:45 PM EST The New Republic reports a federal agent likely used his cellphone to nab a "trophy" photo of Chicago resident and U.S. citizen Marimar Martinez after Border Patrol agents shot her five times in Chicago. Martinez, who said the memory haunts her to this day, testified before Congress Tuesday about how she was shot while monitoring agent's activities from her car in Chicago and warning her neighbors. February 3, 2026 at 5:05 PM EST Fox 9 Minneapolis correspondent Paul Blume is now reporting that Department of Justice (DOJ) attorney Julie Le appears to have had enough of her bosses. "The system sucks, this job sucks," Blume tweeted, quoting Le. Her answer came in response to U.S. District Judge Jerry Blackwell (an appointee of former President Joe Biden) pressing the DOJ attorney on why so many federal court orders were being ignored by her superiors. February 3, 2026 at 4:53 PM EST President Donald Trump is drawing widespread attention and backlash after urging Republicans on Monday to "nationalize" elections in at least fifteen jurisdictions he deemed "crooked," particularly because the U.S. Constitution primarily assigns election authority to the states. Now, the White House is having to defend his remarks. Saying there are "millions and millions" of undocumented immigrants and "we have to get them out," Trump warned that "if Republicans don't get them out, you will never win another election as a Republican." February 3, 2026 at 4:17 PM EST Thomas H. Dupree Jr., who was principal deputy assistant attorney general in former President George W. Bush's Department of Justice (DOJ), told MS NOW anchor Katy Tur that judges from respectable conservative backgrounds are increasingly sounding the alarm on Trump's unconstitutional actions. "I guess one thing that has surprised me in all of this, in all the legal back-and-forth, is that there are some very conservative judges" who clerked for Justice [Antonin] Scalia who have spoken out very explicitly about this," said Dupree, speaking of Chief U.S. District Judge Patrick J. Schiltz (a George W. Bush appointee), who has expressed growing frustration with the Trump administration's tactics in court. February 3, 2026 at 12:11 PM EST Marimar Martinez is one of several people who've been shot by federal agents in recent weeks. And she and her attorney are speaking to the media about the Chicago native's experience and the ongoing battle against the Department of Homeland Security's lies about the incident. Martinez is also speaking to Congress about her clash with federal agents. February 3, 2026 at 11:51 AM EST Donald Trump's abrupt announcement of an extended closure for the Kennedy Center might now result in a legal battle, according to KFOX 14 News, as the union for employees at the arts center has weighed in. Over the weekend, Trump took to Truth Social to announce that the Kennedy Center would be shutting down for two years, starting on July 4, to coincide with the 250th birthday of the U.S. He claimed that this decision was made after a year-long review of the center that revealed it to be in need of extensive repairs, a claim that has already been heavily disputed. |
