President Donald Trump's newly announced ban on multiple news outlets is headed for a major fall when a legal challenge is presented to a judge — and he will have only himself to blame.

That is the opinion of Hofstra University Law Professor James Sample, who made a strong case on Monday morning that CNN, MS NOW and Politico will win their legal challenge, filed Monday morning, to what amounts to censorship by banning them from the White House.

Republicans' 2026 midterm vulnerability is coming into sharper focus, according to a "CNN News Central" discussion featuring Andrew Desiderio, senior congressional reporter for Punchbowl News, and Puck's chief Washington correspondent Leigh Ann Caldwell.

The conversation opened around a phrase from Axios' Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen, who argued Monday that President Donald Trump's "vincibility is being exposed" as courts restrain him, more GOP candidates publicly break with him, and the broader public turns against him.

President Donald Trump’s latest update to his plans for his proposed 250-foot arch in Washington, D.C., making it a "military complex", pushed MS NOW’s Jonathan Lemire over the edge on Monday morning.

Over the weekend, the president stated on Truth Social that his controversial arch would "house, store, and have the rapid ability to use large numbers of drones, plus Snipers, on both the roof and plaza areas, and additionally have and hold large quantities of sniper ammunition in storage."

A Washington, D.C., insider offered an explanation for President Donald Trump's ban on three news outlets from the White House.

CNN, MS NOW and Politico have notified the 80-year-old president they're filing a lawsuit after their reporters were blocked from the White House on Saturday after Trump said he would ban them over what he called "fake news," and Axios co-founder Jim VandeHei told "CNN This Morning" what he believes set off the confrontation.

A GOP lawmaker's interview on Fox News instantly backfired Sunday after he uncorked a wild claim about the difference between Democrats and Republicans.

Rep. Dan Meuser (R-PA) joined Fox News to discuss the upcoming midterm elections and argue that voters should support Republicans. At one point, Meuser attempted to draw a contrast between the two parties that flatlined among political analysts and observers.

One political analyst was astounded Sunday while discussing President Donald Trump's efforts to ignore the crisis driving his demise.

Terry Moran, a former ABC journalist, discussed a recent trip he made to Iowa on a new episode of "The Daily Beast Podcast" with host Joanna Coles. He noted that Trump's insistence that the cost-of-living crisis many Americans are reeling from is a "hoax" is not only driving typical Republican voters away from Trump, but also causing young voters to rethink their support for Republicans, which could be a significant issue for the party in the 2026 midterms.

White House chief economist Kevin Hassett sparked outrage Sunday after he claimed the American economy was thriving, and boasted about his weekly trips to the grocery store to prove it.

Hassett faced unexpected pushback from Fox News' Peter Doocy during an interview about Americans' poor views of the economy, with 62 percent reporting grocery prices to be a "major problem for their family.”

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) spoke recently at the Ron Paul Institute's “Front Row at the Revolution” conference in Virginia, during which he sparked applause after taking an especially brutal dig at Fox News’ aging viewers.

Massie, recalling his primary election loss in May to a GOP challenger backed by President Donald Trump, flagged a deceptive attack ad generated with artificial intelligence (AI) that depicted him entering a hotel hand-in-hand with progressive Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN). The ad also described Massie as having been “caught in a throuple in Washington.”

Yet another Republican lawmaker has condemned President Donald Trump's son for allowing a Russian oligarch to contribute a quarter of a million dollars to his Bahamas wedding blowout.

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) spoke out against Don Trump Jr. during an interview on "Face the Nation" Sunday morning.

White House chief economist Kevin Hassett faced rare pushback from Fox News’ Peter Doocy on Sunday after attempting to dismiss the growing economic anxiety among Americans.

According to polling cited by Doocy, only 23% of American voters describe the economy as “excellent or good,” only 12% describe their financial situation as “getting ahead,” and 62% believe grocery prices are a “major problem for their family.”

Republicans struggled to excuse President Donald Trump's controversial new plans for the White House on Sunday.

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA), United Nations Ambassador Mike Waltz and Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) squirmed as journalists Sunday demanded to know their views on Trump's decision to oust MS NOW, CNN and Politico from the White House.

President Donald Trump told Fox News’ Trey Yingst Sunday morning that, regarding speculation of an imminent U.S. escalation in the Middle East, “very big things” would take place in the “not-so-distant future,” things that include ‘wiping Iran out” entirely.

Fears mounted Saturday night after Trump abruptly cut his weekend getaway in Maryland short and returned to the White House without explanation, a schedule change that came amid other signals that hinted at imminent U.S. military action. Yingst spoke to Trump by phone Sunday morning and was asked by Fox News’ “Fox & Friends Weekend” to provide viewers with the latest on the president’s thinking.
