Progressive activist and media figure Justin Kanew sounded an alarm Tuesday after a Democratic district attorney shared a "horrifying" account of law enforcement training in the GOP-controlled state of Tennessee.

On Saturday, an op-ed written by Democratic District Attorney Steven Mulroy of Memphis was published in USA Today detailing his experience attending a “weeklong use-of-force training for law enforcement by Force Science, a private company hired by many law enforcement agencies across the country.”

A former Department of Homeland Security official didn't mince words on CNN on Tuesday, describing how the agency is failing to meet its mission and endangering the American public.

In the last week, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers have killed two people during traffic stops. One of them was a 26-year-old Colombian man living in Maine, and the other was a 52-year-old immigrant in Houston who was in line to obtain his work authorization. Both killings sparked protests and outrage from community members after videos appeared to contradict ICE's narrative about the incidents.

Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo (R) — currently running for re-election — pulled a "do you know who I am" on a Las Vegas police officer to get out of a ticket, reports the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

In body camera footage obtained by the Review-Journal, a Metropolitan Police sergeant pulled over Lombardo's Ford pickup near Mandalay Bay on May 15 for a suspected red light violation as his wife, Donna, sat in the front passenger seat.

President Donald Trump's pick to oversee Pentagon spending was confronted over the $3.2 billion in defense contracts tied to his sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump since he took office.

Acting Pentagon Comptroller Jules W. Hurst III faced the confrontation Tuesday at his Senate Armed Services Committee confirmation hearing — the official process to make his role permanent.

Foreign policy expert Trita Parsi sounded the alarm Tuesday over what he suspected would be a “major escalation” from the United States, one he predicted would come “in the next coming days.”

“I do suspect that there’s going to be a major escalation from the U.S. side in the next coming days… I think it’s going to be quite terrible,” Parsi said in a video interview published by Zeteo Tuesday.

A decision by Donald Trump to use a Thursday night address to the nation to relitigate the results of the 2020 election, where he lost, was greeted with amusement and disbelief on MS NOW on Tuesday morning.

After the president teased his plan to address the nation on social media, it was reported that he will use his time to claim that newly declassified intelligence exposes a plot by a foreign nation to interfere in the 2020 presidential election to deny him back-to-back terms.

Jon Stewart used Monday's Daily Show to unload on Mitch McConnell, mocking the ailing senator's long-awaited "proof of life" photo before pleading with him, only half in jest, to stay retired.

The 84-year-old Kentucky Republican resurfaced over the weekend with a hospital-bed image after a month out of public view. The picture drew immediate skepticism online, and Stewart became the latest in a chorus of voices who weren't buying the wholesome framing, sarcastically presenting the photo as proof McConnell was "the happiest boy in the hospital."

MS NOW host Joe Scarborough blew up on guest Donnie Deutsch on Tuesday morning after the branding expert expressed his dismay that a position on Israel has become a litmus test for Democratic candidates.

Following an appearance by Michigan Democrat Haley Stevens, an Israel supporter who is running for the Senate, Deutsch suggested, “Yeah. Israel seems to be kind of like a check. You have to — I don't know how we got here.”

A former U.S. Army intelligence officer was left dumbstruck Tuesday following President Donald Trump’s latest attempt to degrade Iran’s control of the Strait of Hormuz, an effort they described as a manifestation of the president’s “new levels of desperation.”

On Monday, Trump announced that the United States would be reinstating its naval blockade on Iran and charging hefty fees to transiting vessels. The decree came amid renewed exchanges of fire between the United States, Iran and U.S.-aligned Middle Eastern nations.

A federal judge's pointed jab, with implications of legal wrongdoing, will haunt acting Attorney General Todd Blanche as he is set to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee, which will decide whether to strip the “acting” from his title.

During an appearance on MS NOW on Tuesday morning to review Donald Trump’s major court loss in Florida on his IRS settlement deal, former US Attorney Barbara McQuade noted that U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams went out of her way to single out Trump’s former personal attorney.

MS NOW's Rachel Maddow opened up her Monday night show with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement shooting of a Colombian man in Biddeford, Maine, which agents claim was in self-defense but that video heavily disagrees with.

Her main question, leading the night, was "will there be a real investigation into the shooting?" And so far, one key move ICE made — or didn't make — doesn't bode well for the answer.

President Donald Trump just pulled off a shocking power grab as election season heats up, and it barely registered on the radar, according to one analyst.

Last week, Trump dismissed the three remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission, a little-known agency that helps states ensure their elections run smoothly and safely. The move happened at a time when Trump's rhetoric about election integrity is becoming increasingly dark. Courts have rebuffed his administration's attempts to gain access to state voter data, but the president appears persistent in his efforts to meddle in the upcoming midterm elections, which public polling suggests favor Democrats by a significant margin.
