Karoline Leavitt's VERY MAGA office décor... and how she 'balances' being a mom in the White House
A revealing photo gave a glimpse into Karoline Leavitt 's White House office and showed how the press secretary balances the demands of both her job and motherhood.
Donald Trump 's aide Margo Martin captured Leavitt's literal balancing act in her office on Thursday and shared it on X.
'Walked in to @PressSec typing with one hand, and feeding her son with the other. Super Mom!' Martin said.
The press secretary, 27, wore a pink dress as she worked from her desk and fed her nine-month-old son Niko a bottle.
Niko's pacifier and toy were placed on the desk among Leavitt's neatly organized papers.
The working mom appeared to be drinking an iced green beverage from Tatte, likely a matcha of sorts. A sparkling matcha lemonade from Tatte costs $5.50, while an iced matcha latte costs $4.50 for a 12oz or $5.00 for a 16oz.
Leavitt had several photos throughout her office, including a cutout of her in a black dress posing with Trump in a blue suit and red tie from the campaign trail placed on the heater.
Leavitt posted the same photo to Instagram on January 1, 2024, with the caption, '2024. LETS GO! us.'
On her corkboard, Leavitt pinned two pictures of her son: one of her holding the infant up on the beach and another of the baby sitting on a plane seat with a pillow bearing the presidential seal.
She also has a signed group photograph of seventh-grade students from the George Walton Academy.
Middle schoolers from the Georgia private school - where tuition costs $16,065 a year - visited Washington, DC, in March.
During their field trip, the group visited the White House, where they met Leavitt and posed for the photo.
Additionally, she has a meme of a man in a white shirt with his hand up to a brain saying, 'No thanks. I won't be needing that. I believe everything the legacy media shows.'
On Monday, Leavitt shared a rare glimpse into her family life with a series of sweet snaps from a weekend trip to Palm Beach, Florida, with husband Nicholas Riccio, 59, and their young son.
The family spent the weekend at Trump's Mar-A-Lago, and Leavitt captured adorable photos of the occasion.
One picture showed the political aide smiling on a green couch while she held her young son, who was dressed in a cute checkered onesie, on her lap.
In the second snap, Riccio - who is 32 years Leavitt's senior - also stepped into the frame as the trio posed in front of a pool at sunset.
Leavitt captured another heartwarming photo of her spouse dressed more informally while cradling Niko and kissing his cheek.
And the final picture in her adorable carousel simply alluded to the family relaxing on sun loungers while draped under towels.

Fed's Musalem estimates ‘50-50' chances on tariffs triggering prolonged US inflation, FT reports
June 6 (Reuters) - St. Louis Federal Reserve President Alberto Musalem has put the likelihood of Donald Trump's trade war causing a prolonged surge in inflation at "50-50," warning that U.S. policymakers would face uncertainty "right through the summer," the Financial Times reported on Friday. Musalem told the newspaper that while U.S. President Trump's tariffs could boost inflation for "a quarter or two," there was "an equally likely scenario where the impact of tariffs on prices could last longer." Trump's tariff hikes and a $2.4 trillion budget bill have shaken markets, prompting a wait-and-see stance from the Fed after last year's rate cuts. Musalem said he believes officials could benefit from a favorable scenario where uncertainty over trade and fiscal policy "goes away in July," which would put the Fed back on track to cut interest rates in September, according to the FT. He also highlighted, however, the possibility of a scenario "where inflation begins to rise materially and we will not know whether that is a temporary, one-off increase in the price level or whether it has more persistence," the report said. The Fed is expected to hold rates steady at its mid-June meeting, when it will release updated economic projections.

Chaos breaks out as ICE raids business in downtown Los Angeles and locals revolt: 'We will not stand for this'
Federal immigration officials clashed with protesters as they raided several downtown Los Angeles locations on Friday. US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) were spotted at a Home Depot, an apartment complex, federal courts and even in the fashion district. The raids come just days after Donald Trump 's watch dog Stephen Miller demanded ICE crackdown on migrants at popular shopping destinations to bolster their arrest numbers. Crowds of protesters swarmed the officers on Friday in an attempt to stop the detentions, reported KTLA. However, there efforts were unsuccessful and at least 45 people across seven locations were detained, according to Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights Executive Director Angelica Salas. One of those detainees has been identified as Service Employees International Union California President David Huerta, who was pepper-sprayed and injured while being taken into custody, Mayor Karen Bass told NBC Los Angeles. 'He is doing ok physically, but I know what really impacted him the most was the emotional trauma of watching parents and kids being separated,' said Bass. 'He's going into ICE custody and we hope to get him out very soon.' Footage from local news station KABC showed officers throwing smoke bombs or flash bangs on the street to disperse the people so they could drive away in SUVs, vans and military-style vehicles. In one video, a person was seen running backward with their hands on the hood of a moving white SUV in an effort to block the vehicle. The person fell backward, landing flat on the ground. The SUV backed up, drove around the individual and sped off as others on the street threw objects at it. Other video showed people being handcuffed by federal authorities in a Home Depot parking lot. At one of the spots, immigrant-rights advocates used megaphones to speak to the workers inside a store, reminding them of their constitutional rights and instructing them not to sign anything or say anything to federal agents, the Los Angeles Times reported. The advocates also told the federal agents that lawyers wanted access to the workers, and sometimes yelled out specific names. Mayor Bass said neither her nor the Los Angeles Police Department were warned about the activity. 'As Mayor of a proud city of immigrants, who contribute to our city in so many ways, I am deeply angered by what has taken place,' Bass said. 'These tactics sow terror in our communities and disrupt basic principles of safety in our city. We will not stand for this. Police Chief Jim McDonnell released a statement claiming the department is not involved in 'civil immigration enforcement.' 'We will not assist or participate in any sort of mass deportations, nor will the LAPD try to determine an individual's immigration status,' McDonnell said. 'I want everyone, including our immigrant community, to feel safe calling the police in their time of need and know that the LAPD will be there for you without regard to one's immigration status.' The Los Angeles raids come as White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller has reportedly demanded ICE agents raid Home Depots and 7-Elevens as part of his lofty new target for arrests of illegal migrants. Miller, one of Donald Trump's biggest hawks on immigration, said last week that Trump wants the agency to conduct 3,000 arrests every single day in an ambitious effort to ramp up his deportation agenda. He and 'border czar' Tom Homan have both suggested that the numbers are not currently where they want them. Homan backed the ambitious new benchmark on Thursday morning, insisting: 'We've gotta' increase these arrests and removals.' 'The numbers are good, but I'm not satisfied. I haven't been satisfied all year long.' During Trump's first 100 days back in office, ICE officials arrested 66,463 illegal immigrants.

The World Tonight No sign of reconciliation between Trump and Musk
US President Donald Trump is "not particularly interested" in speaking to Elon Musk after the tech billionaire and former close political ally turned on him in a bitter and public war of words. Initial reports that the pair had scheduled a phone call came to nothing. With some among the MAGA branch of Trump's supporters rounding on Musk, we explored the factional infighting and what impact it might have on the Big Beautiful Bill which Trump wants the Senate to pass, but which Musk opposes. Also on the programme, can supporters of the European Convention on Human Rights head off criticism by adapting the treaty? That's what the Secretary General of the Council of Europe seems to suggest. We hear from former Attorney General Dominic Grieve. And we speak to the Hollywood actor turned cryptocurrency sceptic about his new documentary on the phenomenon, premiering at the SXSW festival in London.
