President Donald Trump admitted in an interview published Wednesday that he lobbed expletives at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in an explosive phone call on Monday, citing his growing frustration with Israel’s refusal to halt its invasion and bombardment of Lebanon as the cause for his outburst.

Details of the supposed call were first reported on by Axios, which claimed Trump had called Netanyahu “f------ crazy,” and said that “everybody hates you” and “hates Israel.” Trump also reportedly told the prime minister that he’d “be in prison if it weren’t for me,” with Netanyahu having been indicted on corruption charges by the Israeli government, and for war crimes by the International Criminal Court.

Progressive political commentator, author and podcast host Brian Tyler Cohen fumed Tuesday night over a tense moment in a House Appropriations Committee hearing in which a GOP lawmaker shut down their Democratic colleague’s line of questioning regarding files on Jeffrey Epstein, a display, he argued, that had cemented the GOP’s legacy.

“Does the entire f------ party seriously want their reputations to be that they helped prevent accountability for Epstein's victims?” Cohen asked in an episode of his commentary show uploaded Tuesday night.

President Donald Trump has been on a lot of late-night posting sprees lately, and one of his biographers thinks it shows the president is spiraling from stress and anxiety.

Michael Wolff, an author who has written four books about Trump, said during a new episode of "Inside Trump's Head," a podcast he co-hosts with Joanna Coles of The Daily Beast, that Trump's late-night post-a-thon on Truth Social illustrates the version of Trump that he doesn't want the public to see. They show the president is capable of feeling the weight of the situation he finds himself in, even if he doesn't want others to know it.

A veteran Democratic strategist revealed the primary race he's watching as the polls close on Tuesday night.

David Axelrod, a former senior advisor to President Barack Obama, said on CNN's election night coverage that he will be watching the primary election in Iowa with a keen eye. Not only is it a state that President Donald Trump carried in 2024, but it could also be a bellwether for how Democrats can expect to fare in the 2026 midterm elections in November, he argued.

Fox News host Sean Hannity ended Tuesday's episode of his podcast, "Hang Out with Sean Hannity," with a disclaimer that some political analysts flagged as "notable."

The 90-minute episode featured an interview with Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche that spanned several conspiracy theories about alleged Democratic conspiracies to charge President Donald Trump with crimes. The allegations became so caustic that producers felt the need to slap a disclaimer at the end of the video before it was published on YouTube.

The city of Bakersfield, California, was rocked on Tuesday as a man claiming to have a bomb strapped to his chest took a hostage at a Chase Bank in the city's downtown area.

According to CBS News, police have secured lockdowns of the surrounding area and have been negotiating with the suspect. The FBI, Department of Homeland Security, and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives have also responded to the scene.

Legendary Democratic strategist James Carville took a few swings at President Donald Trump on Tuesday's edition of Ari Melber's "The Beat," pointing out his health decline — as he has done on prior occasions — but also his total lack of interest in working on major policy issues that are rapidly beginning to define his second term.

Nothing better exemplifies this, he and Melber agreed, than Trump's repeated recent claims that he doesn't care about Americans' financial situation because the Iran war is more important. When a reporter asked Trump to what extent Americans' financial situation was motivating him to make a deal with Iran, Trump was blunt: "Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans' financial situation. I don't think about anybody. I think about one thing: we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon."

Former GOP operative Tim Miller took a moment on MS NOW's "Deadline: White House" to lay into President Donald Trump's move to replace outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard with his controversial housing finance administrator Bill Pulte — a man often called Trump's "attack dog," and, Miller pointed out, has absolutely no qualifications to coordinate national intelligence.

"I'm going to start with you because there's nothing for an intelligence person to say about this person," said anchor Nicolle Wallace. "This is a political hack ... what happens next?"

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche dashed any remaining hopes that the Trump administration would move forward with its plan to create a $1.776 billion so-called "anti-weaponization" fund to pay claims to people who say they were wrongfully prosecuted by the government.

"We are not moving forward with the fund," Blanche told the House Appropriations Committee on Tuesday.
