After watching a supercut of members of Donald Trump’s Cabinet lavishing praise on the president during the three-hour-plus televised meeting on Tuesday, the entire panel on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” made no effort to hide their disgust and embarrassment for the administration officials.

In the clip, one after another official expressed their joy working for Trump, with hedge fund millionaire Scott Bessent, now the treasury secretary, gushing, “Economic security is national security and our country has never been so secure… Your Administration has made a meaningful dent in the budget deficit. The average budget deficit during this term is 26% less than the last twelve months under Biden.”

MAGA world's claim that President Donald Trump's tariffs have been good for the American economy is not based in reality, according to two conservative analysts.

During a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Trump said the U.S. has "a lot of money coming in" from tariffs, and it's coming in "in tremendous numbers." Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent credited the tariffs for the increase in government revenue and cited projections from the Congressional Budget Office that suggest the tariffs could reduce the federal deficit by $4 trillion over a decade.

Rep. Josh Brecheen (R-OK) held a town hall in Pryor, Oklahoma, where he attempted to defend President Donald Trump's "One Big, Beautiful Bill Act," which is the president's domestic spending budget. The bill has been widely criticized because it slashed billions in funding from social benefits like Medicaid and food stamps at a time when the cost of living is increasing.

Throughout the meeting, Brecheen faced tough questions from constituents about what he's doing to lower the cost of food or address the high cost of health care.

The Trump administration's cabinet meeting on Tuesday amounted to a display of personal affection toward the president, according to one analyst.

Maggie Haberman, a journalist at The New York Times who has written a book about President Donald Trump, joined CNN's Kaitlan Collins on "The Source" on Tuesday to discuss the meeting. At the meeting, cabinet secretaries heaped praise on Trump in front of the cameras, which caught Haberman's attention.

CNN anchor Erin Burnett expressed astonishment Tuesday evening, watching President Donald Trump's Cabinet members reach "new heights" for sycophancy.

Trump's cabinet held a meeting that lasted over three hours on Tuesday, which was fully open to the press. Each cabinet member contributed remarks about their departments and the administration's achievements.

Rep. Josh Brecheen (R-OK) was confronted by a constituent who wanted to know what he had done to lower grocery prices, as President Donald Trump had repeatedly promised he would do in office — and gave a dismissive and confused response.

In particular, Brecheen seemed not to understand that the constituent asked him about reversing inflation, and rather thought she asked whether he could repeal Oklahoma's state sales tax on groceries, which was already repealed last year.

An executive order signed Monday by President Donald Trump may permit "random fascist vigilantes" to help him crack down on protests across the country, according to one prominent civil rights lawyer.

The new order, which comes amid wider concern about Trump's militarized takeover of Washington, D.C., directs Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to ensure that each state's National Guard is equipped to "assist Federal, State, and local law enforcement in quelling civil disturbances and ensuring the public safety."

One of President Donald Trump's most high-profile supporters broke with him on Tuesday over one of the president's signature complaints.

Joe Rogan, who endorsed Trump during the 2024 election, said on a recent episode of his podcast, "The Joe Rogan Experience," that Trump's complaints about the 2020 election being stolen are unfounded.

President Donald Trump's continued references to himself as a dictator and the silence from Republicans stunned one prominent political analyst.

Progressive YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen said on a recent episode of his show "No Lies" that Trump's repeated references to himself as a dictator reveal that he is trying to normalize the idea in the minds of Americans. Cohen was aghast that Republicans appear to be implicitly condoning Trump's comments by choosing not to speak out against the remarks.

A Maryland immigrant appeared again this week as Immigration and Customs Enforcement attempted to deport him to a third-party country. That ultimately turned into a stunning rebuke of the Justice Department by a conservative judge.

Kilmar Ábrego García has faced off against the U.S. government since March, when he was mistakenly sent to a brutal prison in El Salvador. Despite court demands to return him, the government dragged its feet until it decided it could charge him with a felony and allege he was part of an organized crime syndicate. The judge in that case ultimately granted bail for Ábrego, only to have ICE snatch him when he showed up for a check-in.
