Pushback against Cabinet picks proof they're disruptors we wanted: Trump Jr

Donald Trump Jr. said Sunday that the team now around the president-elect knows how to choose a Cabinet and build out an administration, unlike the time before his father first took office. Any pushback that Donald Trump's unconventional choices face from the Washington establishment proves that they are just the kind of disruptors the new administration and voters are demanding, the younger Trump said. The reality this time is, we actually know what we're doing. We actually know who the good guys and the bad guys are, he told Fox News Channel's "Sunday Morning Futures. And it's about surrounding my father with people who are both competent and loyal. They will deliver on his promises. They will deliver on his message. They are not people who think they know better, as unelected bureaucrats. After Donald Trump was elected in 2016, he stocked his early administration with choices from traditional Republican and business circles, tapping figures such as former Exxon Mobil CEO Rex ...

Vivek Ramaswamy's journey from son of immigrants to being Trump's pick

Amongst the first Indian-American picks by US President-elect Donald Trump is biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, who has been tasked with improving government efficiency along with Tesla owner Elon Musk. Trump Tuesday announced that Musk and Ramaswamy will lead the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, aimed at improving governance and curbing wasteful expenditures and gave them a deadline of July 4, 2026, the 250th Anniversary of The Declaration of Independence. Ramaswamy's journey as a son of immigrants to a self-made entrepreneur to a political newbie climbing ladders to try his luck as a Republican presidential candidate has been no short of remarkable. But after his poor showing in the primaries, Ramaswamy decided in January to end his bid and back Trump. Later, Ramaswamy took to X to declare that he was suspending his campaign and endorsing Trump. I will do everything I can to make sure he is the next US President. I am enormously proud of this team, this movement,

US Congress returns to unfinished business and new era of Donald Trump

Congress returns to a changed Washington as President-elect Donald Trump's hard-right agenda is quickly taking shape, buoyed by eager Republican allies eyeing a full sweep of power on Capitol Hill while Democrats are sorting out what went wrong. Even as final election results are still being tallied, the House and Senate leadership is pushing ahead toward a second-term Trump White House and what he's called a mandate for governing, with mass deportations, industry deregulation and wholesale gutting of the federal government. Trump is already testing the norms of governance during this presidential transition period telling the Senate to forgo its advise-and-consent role and simply accept his Cabinet nominees and he is staffing his administration and finding lawmakers willing to bend those civic traditions. Trump's going to deliver his deportations, the drilling, the wall it's going to take all of us getting together, said Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., a conservative member of the ..

Opponents of wind energy expect Trump to kill industry upon return to WH

Opponents of offshore wind energy projects expect President-elect Donald Trump to kill an industry he has vowed to end on the first day he returns to the White House. But it might not be that easy. Many of the largest offshore wind companies put a brave face on the election results, pledging to work with Trump and Congress to build power projects and ignoring the incoming president's oft-stated hostility to them. In campaign appearances, Trump railed against offshore wind and promised to sign an executive order to block such projects. We are going to make sure that that ends on Day 1, Trump said in a May speech. I'm going to write it out in an executive order. It's going to end on Day 1." They destroy everything, they're horrible, the most expensive energy there is, Trump said. They ruin the environment, they kill the birds, they kill the whales. Numerous federal and state scientific agencies say there is no evidence linking offshore wind preparation to a spate of whale deaths al
