Emotions are running high on both sides of the aisle on Capitol Hill as Elon Musk makes his way for the exit. Musk is stepping back from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which President Donald Trump appointed the tech billionaire to run for the first 130 days of his new administration.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The American health system is bleeding out, and it desperately needs a real doctor.  Leading Health and Human Services (HHS) today is like navigating a chaotic hospital — patients in every hallway, monitors screaming, seconds ticking away. Yet, instead of a seasoned physician who triages and trusts proven protocols, that hospital is overseen by an activist named Robert F. Kennedy Jr.  A patient’s oxygen level plummets; nurses turn to...

President Donald Trump wrote a fiery, lengthy post on social media Thursday night in response to the intense legal battle surrounding his proposed tariffs. On Thursday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit allowed Trump’s tariffs to temporarily remain in effect, just one day before the US.

Elon is terrific!’ Musk’s government service will...

During Musk’s time as the head of DOGE, he...

Former first lady Jill Biden should have to answer for her role in the ‘cover up’ of her husband and former President Joe Biden’s mental decline, according to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.  Multiple books published in 2025 have detailed the deterioration of Biden’s mental faculties while in the White House, including in the book ‘Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again’ released May 20.  ‘The former...
