The “completely made-up and meaningless honor” was only given to Trump because he “cannot get the Nobel Peace Prize which he so desperately craves,” his niece argued. “That is why he needs more of anything else. Thinking that that will fill the void. And in his most terrified moments, Donald knows it. And all of us are paying that price,” she said.

The 2025 White House holiday decorations, themed "Home Is Where The Heart Is," have prompted mixed reactions from interior designers. Featuring greenery, traditional ribbons, warm lighting, and playful installations like a butterfly tree, the décor was described as "nostalgia-driven" and sentimental. Annie Elliott described elements such as dominoes, blue butterflies, and a Lego portrait of the former president as unrelated, calling the overall design "confusing." The decorations also faced scrutiny for failing to foster communal participation, with past administrations incorporating children's art and interactive elements. While some praise the classic, storybook aesthetic, designers emphasised that the emphasis on curated imagery over public inclusivity diminishes the sense of shared national celebration.

Now, she's coming for late Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk's wife, Erika Kirk. Bryan Bedder / Getty ImagesThis whole situation stems from Kirk's recent live interview at the DealBook Summit in New York. "What I don't want to have happen is women, young women, in the city look to the government as a solution. Also notable is the fact that Kirk spoke of women delaying marriage, though she was 32 when she married, which is older than the US average. Later adding, "She is an absolute grifter, just like Donald Trump and just like her unrepentant, racist, homophobic husband was."

Mark Schiefelbein via Associated PressIn a social media post about the operation involving missile strikes that have killed scores of people in the Caribbean Sea, a U.S. military account featured no American flags ― but a large cross was plainly visible. Many consider the Jerusalem Cross, as the ornate design is known, to be a simple profession of Christian faith. The strikes fall under what the administration calls Operation Southern Spear. “The graphic was an illustration of service members in a ready posture during Operation SOUTHERN SPEAR,” Col. Emanuel Ortiz, U.S. Southern Command spokesperson, told HuffPost in an email. This, the administration says, makes them fair game for military strikes, as opposed to Coast Guard drug interdiction, which typically does not involve lethal force at all.

For months, the Trump administration has been accusing its political enemies of mortgage fraud for claiming more than one primary residence. ProPublicaMortgage law experts who reviewed the records for ProPublica were struck by the irony of Trump’s dual mortgages. But Trump’s two loans, they said, exceed the low bar the Trump administration itself has set for mortgage fraud. The circumstances around Trump’s mortgages are also similar to the case his administration has made against Lisa Cook, a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. He did not respond to questions from ProPublica about Trump’s Florida mortgages.

LOADING ERROR LOADINGWASHINGTON ― Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) launched a bid for the U.S. Senate in Texas, according to multiple reports, shaking up the Democratic primary to unseat Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) that already includes state Rep. James Talarico. In another bombshell move just hours earlier on Monday, Rep. Colin Allred (D-Texas) said he would be dropping out of the Senate race to run against Democratic Rep. Julie Johnson in a newly drawn House district in Texas. “She’s unelectable in Texas,” Cornyn predicted to HuffPost in October. The congresswoman told CNN that her ability to raise large sums of money and appeal to voters in Black and Latino communities could help Democrats flip the Texas Senate seat. “I’ve come to believe that a bruising Senate Democratic primary and runoff would prevent the Democratic Party from going into this critical election unified,” he wrote on Monday.

Under the plan, ICE agents would work with U.S. Customs and Border Patrol officers in “targeted operations” at land ports along the southern border. They would arrest people “attempting to self-remove” after being in the U.S. without legal authorization. Others would be processed according to their current immigration cases, the document states, suggesting they would be detained and face formal deportation proceedings. The document offered no clear start date, and operations have been known to change during Donald Trump’s fast-moving immigration crackdown. The president has promised to remove undocumented immigrants at an unprecedented rate, pressuring officials in his administration to deliver figures that match his campaign rhetoric.

This whole situation stems from Kirk's recent live interview at the DealBook Summit in New York. During the talk, Kirk was asked about her thoughts on NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, and she said she worried about working women delaying motherhood and marriage in lieu of viewing government support as a sort of replacement. "I think there's a tendency, especially when you live in a city like Manhattan, where, again, you are so career-driven, and you almost look to the government as a form of replacement for certain things, relationship-wise, even," she said. "What I don't want to have happen is women, young women, in the city look to the government as a solution. To put off having a family or a marriage, because you're relying on the government to support you, instead of being united with the husband, where you can support yourself and your husband can support [you]."
