More than one million federal workers participated in the Elon Musk and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) directive to provide a bullet-point list of their work accomplishments from the previous week, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday in a press briefing. ‘I can announce that we’ve had more than one million workers who have chosen to participate in this very simple task of, again, sending five bullet points to your direct supervisor...
A Biden-era legal win that allowed the president to fire certain board members set the stage for President Donald Trump to can several people who sat on the Kennedy Center board. Former Trump press secretary Sean Spicer – one of the plaintiffs in that case, Spicer v.

Some House Republicans are increasingly frustrated with Elon Musk’s handling of his role in the federal government – frustrations that flared during a closed-door meeting on Tuesday. Rep. Austin Scott, R-Ga., raised concerns about Republican lawmakers not being on the ‘same page’ as the White House and Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), three people in the room told Fox News Digital. He is not the only GOP lawmaker who feels that way, either. ‘He...

The left-wing groups backing the anti-DOGE protests across the country have been funding a variety of progressive causes in recent years, including defunding the police, pushing socialism, anti-Israel protests and opposing President Donald Trump’s agenda in general.

A group of Republican lawmakers is turning up the heat on President Donald Trump to recognize the West Bank as Israeli territory after the president suggested he was looking into such a change. A new letter to Trump, led by Rep. Claudia Tenney, R-N.Y., frames the fraught territory, occupied by both Palestinians and Israelis, as the heartland of the U.S. and Israel’s ‘shared Judeo-Christian heritage.’ ‘This region is the heart of our shared Judeo-Christian heritage...
The White House is pushing back against a report from the Associated Press claiming that nearly 40% of the federal contracts that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) canceled aren’t expected to save the government any money. The AP first reported that 40% figure on Tuesday, saying it was derived from the Trump administration’s own data. DOGE, run by Elon Musk, published an initial list last week of 1,125 contracts that President Donald Trump’s signature...
Apple’s iPhone voice-to-text feature is sparking controversy after a viral TikTok video showed a user speaking the word ‘racist,’ which at first showed up as ‘Trump’ before switching back to ‘racist.’ Fox News Digital was able to replicate the issue multiple times.
