"I am thrilled to report that the U.S. Space Command headquarters will move to the beautiful locale of a place called Huntsville, Alabama, forever to be known from this point forward as 'Rocket City,'" Trump stated today, using a nickname that has long described Huntsville.

Speculation that President Trump was sick — or dead — took on a life of its own over Labor Day weekend, lighting up liberal feeds with conspiracy chatter that spread far beyond the fringe. On Tuesday, Trump stepped in front of the cameras and squashed the online frenzy. Baseless rumors about the 79-year-old president's health metastasized at warp speed, spawning millions of memes, TikToks, Google searches, and "clues" about a supposed White House cover-up. They made it all the way to the Oval Office, where Trump was asked by a cheeky Fox News reporter: "How did you find out over the weekend that you were dead?" Trump, with a smirk, said he hadn't heard the rumors about his demise — but was "very active" over the long weekend doing interviews, playing golf, and posting "poignant" messages on Truth Social...

Tim Walz seems to think rumors that President Donald Trump died are pretty funny. Social media erupted over the weekend with a ton of tweets claiming the President was either dead or seriously sick. Of course, the tweets were completely false and not backed up by evidence at all. It was a classic example of social media running wild. Fortunately, the Daily Caller's Reagan Reese was able to pour cold water on the insanity after revealing she'd been with Trump for an hour and he was fine...

A federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday that the Trump administration cannot speed the deportations of migrants accused of being members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua using an 18th-century wartime law. In a 2-1 ruling, the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with immigrant rights lawyers and lower court judges who argued the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 was not created to be used against gangs like Tren de Aragua. "The Trump administration’s use of a wartime statute during peacetime to regulate immigration was rightly shut down by the court," Lee Gelernt, who argued the case for the American Civil Liberties Union, said. "This is a critically important decision reining in the administration’s view that it can simply declare an emergency without any oversight by the courts."

A federal judge ruled Tuesday that President Donald Trump's administration "willfully" broke federal law by sending National Guard troops to the Los Angeles area in early June after days of protests over immigration raids. In the 52-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer in San Francisco noted Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have stated their intention to deploy National Guard troops to other cities across the country, including Oakland and San Francisco, and that raises concerns they are "creating a national police force with the President as its chief."
