Washington " President Trump on Friday ordered federal officials to install signs outside the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History that correct what he says is "inaccurate" information presented by the institution about American history.

Mr. Trump's directive cited a 162-page White House report released on July 4 that accused the museum of adopting "an ideological framework that no longer treats the American story as a shared national inheritance to be taught or celebrated, but as a political instrument to divide, dispirit, and discourage our citizens."


Donald Trump is reportedly in 'revenge mode' concerning Iran, believing that military force is the only way to deal with its leadership, as the US military continues its 13th consecutive day of strikes.

It seems all might not be well in Melania Trump's marriage. The first lady, 56, has been married to Donald Trump since 2005 and it's safe to say they've faced their share of ups and downs over the years. According to Michael Wolff's book Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, the pair sleep in separate rooms at the White House, with the president allegedly requesting a key so he could lock the door of his room. Even Melania's first meeting with her now-husband raised eyebrows as he was on a date with another woman at the time. Their relationship has now been dragged into the spotlight again, with Wolff claiming the couple "barely speak." The comments come after a body language expert suggested the president and first lady seemed "tense" while at the 2026 World Cup final.


The Trump administration's Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has dropped its controversial demand that the University of Pennsylvania provide records related to all Jewish faculty and staff as part of its investigation into alleged antisemitism on campus. In return, Penn has agreed to dismiss its appeal to the 3rd Circuit, possibly ending a monthslong legal battle over whether the federal government could compel the university to identify employees based on their religious affiliation or national origin. Penn claimed victory with the latest agreement, saying the action "vindicated" the university.
