1: Trump Says He’ll Make “A Few” Cabinet Changes After Midterm Losses: “I Don’t Wanna Mention Who”
Asked if he expects to fire anyone, the president told 60 Minutes, “I do”
President Trump says more shake-ups are coming after the midterms. “I love my Cabinet. I think they’re good. But I’ll … be doing maybe a few changes. I don’t wanna mention who,” he told 60 Minutes. Trump still says he has confidence in Pete Hegseth.
Why It Matters to You: Any replacement nominee will need Senate approval, and Democrats take control in January. The next few weeks could decide who runs the government for the rest of Trump’s term. READ MORE
2: Greg Abbott Urged to Strip Emergency Powers Before Democrat Gina Hinojosa Takes Over Texas
A Texas Republican says Hinojosa could inherit “nearly all the powers of a dictator” if lawmakers don’t act in the next ten weeks
Republican state Rep. Brian Harrison wants Gov. Greg Abbott to call a special session and limit the emergency powers Democrat Gina Hinojosa will inherit. “We still have total power in Texas, and we must act like it,” Harrison wrote. Hinojosa has pledged to declare a high-cost emergency.
Why It Matters to You: Emergency powers could let a governor change taxes and energy policy without a vote of the Legislature. Whether Republicans act now will decide how much power Hinojosa inherits. READ MORE
3: Trump Names Stephen Miller White House Chief of Staff as Susie Wiles Steps Down
The president calls Miller one of his “most trusted advisors” as Wiles moves to his political operation
President Trump is shaking up his White House after the midterm losses, naming Stephen Miller as his new chief of staff. Susie Wiles confirmed the move, saying, “Today is my last day as White House Chief of Staff.” Some Republicans are already calling the pick a mistake.
Why It Matters to You: Miller is the architect of Trump’s immigration agenda. Putting him in charge of the White House signals the border fight is far from over, even with Democrats taking control of Congress. READ MORE
4: Democrats Target Elon Musk as Raskin Says “DOGE Was a Catastrophe for America”
Raskin predicts at least one committee will investigate DOGE, but Pritzker balks at going after Musk personally
Elon Musk could be one of the first targets of the new Democratic Congress. “DOGE was a catastrophe for America, and at least one committee, I feel pretty certain, will investigate it,” Rep. Jamie Raskin said. Not every Democrat wants to go after Musk himself.
Why It Matters to You: The federal workforce shrank by about 250,000 jobs in 2025 as DOGE pushed cuts. Democratic investigations could decide whether those savings for taxpayers stick or get reversed. READ MORE
5: Former Trump Staffer Says Susie Wiles “Needs to Resign” After Midterm Wipeout
Caroline Sunshine says the White House chief of staff should step aside before the president has to ask
Caroline Sunshine, a former staffer to President Trump, is calling on White House chief of staff Susie Wiles to step down after Republicans’ midterm losses. “Susie Wiles needs to resign,” Sunshine said on Fox News. Trump has stood by Wiles in the past, calling a report about her standing with allies “TOTAL FAKE NEWS.”
Why It Matters to You: The chief of staff runs the White House as Democrats prepare to take subpoena power in Congress. Who holds that job will shape how the president defends his agenda for the next two years. READ MORE
