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.

A congressional candidate from Louisiana who was the subject of a police report accusing him of rape " which he denies " says he is hoping to again "earn" Donald Trump's endorsement as he considers precisely where to run amid redistricting. The candidate, Blake Miguez, is weighing running in one of two districts, neither of which he lives in but in which he is allowed to run. He has been mulling that choice after the supreme court's landmark decision in Callais v Louisiana prompted the state to swiftly redraw its US House districts " and after he had secured the president's backing under the previous congressional map. Miguez's campaign has also had to grapple with an Atlantic report that he had not disclosed to Trump's team the existence of a 2007 rape accusation reported to local law enforcement on the same day of the alleged assault.
Calling him a "thug," detestable Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville (R) brayed that NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) be arrested and sent to the infamous torture prison at Guantanamo Bay for correctly calling ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu an "architect of genocide," responsible for a series of atrocities in Gaza (~75,000 Palestinians murdered, per The Lancet UK).
Perfect message from NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D)

PROMINENT MANOSPHERE INFLUENCERS and accused sex traffickers Andrew and Tristan Tate were arrested by U.S. marshals in Miami last weekend, as they were set to host"what else?"a bare-knuckle boxing match. Video of their arrest, which quickly went viral, showed Andrew Tate dressed in clamdigger pants and an unusual purple shirt unbuttoned down almost to his navel. But maybe the most surprising thing is that it happened on American soil at all. That's because, despite years of accusations involving rape and sex trafficking, the Tates have enjoyed a strangely close relationship with Trump world that seems to have extended to preferential treatment from the government.
Quoidbach et al. elicited estimates of people's personality, values, and choices and compared how much, for instance, 33-year-olds believed that they would change in the next 10 years with how much 43-year-olds reported that they had changed in the past 10 years. For groups spanning 18 to 68 years of age, people of all ages described more change in the past 10 years than they would have predicted 10 years ago. Read more
The majority of immigration officers who faced charges were accused of sex offenses or crimes against children.
Confidence is essential in combat, but swagger is dangerous because it tempts leaders into believing they already know what will happen, or how a battle or war will end. The enemy always gets a vote. Swagger may energize political supporters and produce memorable television clips, but it is not strategy. Strategy begins with a clear understanding of the enemy, realistic assessments of what military force can accomplish, and enough humility to recognize that wars rarely unfold according to plan. More than two decades after learning that lesson in southern Iraq, I still remind myself never to predict the outcome of a war while the enemy is still fighting. Secretary Hegseth and President Trump would be well served to remember that lesson today. Read more

A nondescript facility south of Cleveland has become an early staging ground for the auto industry's next supply-chain pivot: replacing vehicle hardware from China. The plant belongs to Eagle Wireless, a maker of electronics that was formed in late 2025, largely in response to a federal rule that bans certain Chinese connected-car software and hardware in U.S. vehicles by the end of the decade.
