One of the files contains a list of especially shocking and graphic sexual abuse allegations against Donald Trump, including claims involving minors. After independent media company MeidasTouch published screenshots of the listed allegations-formatted as individual "complaint summar[ies]"-the DOJ seemingly removed the file, only to reupload it again an hour later.
Donald Trump is cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.' He's loco! He is insane or senile and has a very weird fixation even though the courts proved he lost in 2020, even though it was thoroughly investigated, this guy wants to rewrite history, He is now surrounded by all these sycophants who are incapable of pushing back and telling him he is crazy. He is like the emperor with no clothes!
Robert Fico, one of the few EU leaders to frequently support Trump's stance on Europe's weaknesses, was concerned about the U.S. president's "psychological state," two of the diplomats said. Fico used the word "dangerous" to describe how the U.S. president came across during their face-to-face meeting at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida on Jan. 17, according to two of the diplomats.
But logistical consistency, like coherence and gravitas, does not characterize the new NDS. It is a document that supposedly nests within the National Security Strategy, explaining at greater length the implications of overall policy for the armed forces. The 2026 version does not do that. Rather, it restates some of the basic priorities of the Trump administration but for the most part confines itself to flattery of the president, insults, and bombast.
(John Bazemore/AP photo) The FBI has raided a Georgia election hub as part of an investigation into 2020 election fraud, Fox News Digital reported on Wednesday. Agents were seen entering the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center in Atlanta on Wednesday in an operation related to the 2020 election, the outlet reported.

For nearly a decade, there has been a recurring debate in center-left intellectual circles about whether you could properly describe Donald Trump, his MAGA movement, and the administrations he has led as "fascist." Such discussions have accelerated since Trump returned to the White House in 2025 and began stretching the powers of his office to target his many enemies, real and imagined.

In an interview with the New York Post published on Sunday, the president chastised the Super Bowl performers as poor choices that would be divisive. I'm anti-them. I think it's a terrible choice. All it does is sow hatred. Terrible, Trump told the New York Post on Jan. 24. It's just too far away. I would. I've (gotten) great hands (at) the Super Bowl I would go if, you know, it was a little bit shorter.
The French president Emmanuel Macron borrowed some lines from Hugh Grant about bullies at the World Economic Forum in Davos. His target was Donald Trump, who had leaked a conciliatory text message from Macron who, evidently, was trying to get the US president to the table to shore up the rapidly disintegrating global order. In the love-it-or-hate-it Christmas film, Love Actually, Grant playing the foppish British prime minister of the day confronts the US president, saying: A friend who bullies us is no longer a friend, and since bullies only respond to strength, from now onward, I will be prepared to be much stronger.
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
A year ago, Trump was "at the peak of his political power," and his first 10 months in office "were pretty much signs that there was very little that" could be done to stop him. But then, Olorunnipa noted, "we had the elections in the first part of this month." Following major victories for Democrats in New York, New Jersey, and Virginia, Trump is beginning to realize "that he's going to be a lame duck very soon."
Trump opened the briefing with a lengthy, rambling weave that included attacking Don Lemon, raging about migrants, riffing on the killing of Renee Good, and narrowly escaping the clutches of a nasty binder clip. He spoke for almost an hour-and-a-half before finally taking questions. The presser encompassed several editions of CNN News Central, during which anchors tossed to Dale no less than three times as he racked up a tally of over 17 falsehoods:
Remember at the beginning of the term it was Greenland and then it was like, okay, you know, sometimes the brain farts pass. But this week, the past week it was all, we're going to take it by force, by force. Pete Hegseth, got so excited, he droned a dog sled. (LAUGHTER). But Okay, but then, three days ago, Trump goes to Davos, Switzerland, you know, this is where the people who run the world have the big meeting every year.
