Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem repeatedly bragged about having a "conversation" with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu but refused to divulge what they discussed.
During a Monday interview on Fox News, Noem said she had stopped at the Western Wall in Jerusalem before meeting with Netanyahu.
"Around 10 o'clock last night, went and met with Bibi with the Prime Minister and had a conversation about President Trump's negotiations with Iran and had a conversation with him," Noem explained. "President Trump specifically sent me here to have a conversation... It was a very candid conversation... I've known the prime minister for many years and had many good conversations with him."
"The prime minister's team had a conversation afterwards with us," she added. "I don't want to go into the private conversation... I don't want you to get into the specifics of the conversation."

"The intelligence information that they have and that Israel has and they share with the United States and that we also have and are using for those conversations as critically important."
Noem hinted that she was interested in ending the war in Gaza and making a nuclear deal with Iran.
"So that was the discussion there, and also giving us an opportunity to get out of this conflict that we have in Gaza, is very important," Noem said.
Israeli airstrikes reportedly killed at least 38 people in Gaza during Noem's trip to Israel.

French President Emmanuel Macron appeared to be shoved in the face by his wife, Brigitte Macron.
The Associated Press caught the interaction on video as the Macrons arrived in Vietnam on Monday.
Emmanuel Macron can be seen preparing to exit his plane when his wife uses both hands to shove him in the mouth.
The president quickly recovers and waves to the cameras. As the couple exits the aircraft, Brigitte Macron declines to take her husband's arm.
The president later insisted that his wife had been joking.
"We are horsing around and, really, joking with my wife," he said, according to CBS News. "It becomes a sort of geo-planetary catastrophe."

An associate of the president described the incident as a "squabble."
"It was a moment when the president and his wife were decompressing one last time before the start of the trip by joking around," one source claimed.
"It's a moment of togetherness. No more was needed to feed the mills of the conspiracy theorists," the person added, noting that pro-Russian voices had made negative comments about the interaction.

U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) made a major prediction and listed the top two Donald Trump moves she hopes to investigate, all while breaking some news in the process.
Crockett on Sunday appeared on MSNBC, where she also suggested Trump needs "some ADHD medication" after his latest West Point address.
After that, she made the prediction that Democrats are poised to retake the House of Representatives.

Crockett went on to list some of the things she wants to investigate involving Trump, such as potential constitutional violations over the receipt of a Qatari jet, as well as "business deals" such as those surrounding Trump's recent anonymous event for crypto investors.
In the process of making that statement, she mentioned in passing that she hopes to "lead" the Oversight committee where she currently sits. The leadership position opened up following the death of fellow Democrat Gerry Connolly.
The host responded to Crockett's monologue by saying, "Did you make a little news here? Did you say you hope to lead that committee?"
Crockett confirmed, "I absolutely do."
Two British tourists reacted with shock after seeing a mentally ill man with assault-style rifles at the Apple Store in Los Angeles.
KTLA reporters were on the scene Saturday for another story when a man identifying himself as Stephen Jensen showed up with two AR-15s.
Video captured by the station showed a police officer struggling to take down Jensen after he displayed his weapons to the two tourists.
"At the start, we thought it was a movie set, if I'm honest," Emilie Thomas told KTLA. "Because obviously, I don't know, I've never seen a real gun in my life."

"And yeah, and then we looked over in like the case because he had like a massive like gun," she recalled. "I don't know my guns, but it was a big gun... And then obviously we saw like a little, someone taking a video and we thought, oh, it must be a movie set. But then he seemed really angry and agitated."
"And we thought, oh gosh. So we started like walking off. I thought, I'm not going to get shot. Don't fancy that today."
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) mocked President Donald Trump after he aired his political grievances to cadets during a rambling commencement speech at West Point over the weekend.
During his rant, Trump complained that he had been "through more investigations than Alphonse Capone" and noted that "a lot of trophy wives [don't] work out." He also complained about "drag shows" in the U.S. armed forces.
"I am tired of it," Crockett said Sunday in response to the president's diatribe. "I mean, he literally sounds like someone who is broken out of the insane asylum. Like, he just be all over the place."
"Like, get him some ADHD medicine, if nothing else, because I don't know where he's ever going to go," she continued. "And I don't think that those that have gone through West Point expected to have their commander-in-chief address them and start talking about trophy wives or start talking about how he had so many investigations."
EXCLUSIVE: Trump accused of new grift that puts Qatari plane in shade
"What a great reminder that you are not qualified to be the person that potentially will command us as troops to go into war. Like, that is not instilling confidence whatsoever. And honestly, our troops deserve better. Our graduates deserve better. We as a country deserve better."
Crockett argued that the speech was a sign that Republicans should question Trump's mental capacity.
"We know when it comes down to his criminality, he is not qualified to serve," she observed. "But this is just absolutely deplorable."
During a panel discussion on MSNBC on Donald Trump's commencement speech to cadets at West Point on Saturday, MSNBC's Alex Witt pointed out that the president broke with tradition by leaving immediately after.
Following the speech, which has become notable for the president discussing the usefulness of "trophy wives," Trump was escorted off-stage and left without taking part in either saluting or shaking hands with graduating cadets as previous presidents have done –– including President Joe Biden last year.
"Here's something else that some are going to call inappropriate," the MSNBC host addressed to former Barrack Obama HUD Secretary Julián Castro. "Because Trump skipped the tradition of past presidents who shake the hand of each graduate as they receive their diploma. In fact, last year, President Biden stood for more than an hour and returned the salute of over 1000 West Point graduates."

She added, "In contrast, Trump left yesterday before diplomas were even handed out," before pointing out the Vice President J.D. Vance spoke at the U.S Naval Academy and did stick around to greet each graduate.
"What are the optics here?" the MSNBC host pressed her guest.
"Well, I mean, I think what you can say about Trump is that he's full of himself," Castro replied. "He's self-absorbed, doesn't really care about the graduates that he's addressing, speaks in platitudes and, you know, says all of the right words in a speech to congratulate them but doesn't really care.
"That's why he's disrespecting them by wearing a MAGA hat, not shaking their hands, not taking the time," he continued. "I mean, you know, if you're a parent, they're in the audience and you're watching and this is the day that you've been looking forward to. And your son or daughter, look what they're accomplishing –– you have to find this so disrespectful."

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) tore into Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for her latest photo op in Israel.
As Noem was posing for cameras at the Western Wall in Jerusalem on Sunday, MSNBC's Alex Witt asked Crockett if she expected the Trump official to accomplish anything while in the country.
"Is it about a quick discussion about what happened tragically this last week in Washington?" Witt wondered, referring to the shooting of two Israeli embassy staffers. "Donald Trump wanting to negotiate with Iran? I mean, there's a lot of possibilities what discussions could be about."
"Yeah, you went over all of the kind of sane things that this could be about," Crockett replied. "But I have found a lack of sanity from this administration. I have found them to be more decisive when it comes to making sure that they've got a good photo op."
EXCLUSIVE: Trump accused of new grift that puts Qatari plane in shade
"And so as far as I'm concerned, I doubt that there's anything of substance that she probably is over there to deal with," she noted. "I doubt that she is going to decide to have a conversation about what happened to those two young people that work for the Israeli embassy and talk about potential security measures."
"I doubt it is anything of substance. You just had a good photo op, and I think that that's probably all Kristi Noem is good for is a photo op."

During an appearance on MSNBC on Sunday morning, former Democratic National Committee Chair and Jamie Harrison disputed comments attributed to him in CNN host Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson's controversial book about former President Joe Biden.
After discussing the internal warfare currently in play within the DNC, "The Weekend" co-host Eugene Daniels asked Harrison about the book "Original Sin," and noted that Thompson appeared on the show on Saturday.
That was when the ex-DNC chair went off.
EXCLUSIVE: Trump accused of new grift that puts Qatari plane in shade
"It says that you had an interaction with President Biden where he didn't recognize you and you said to some other Democrat that wasn't good, right? I heard that you said this didn't happen, so did it happen or not?" Daniels prompted his guest.
"It was a bald-faced lie," Harrison shot back. "I don't know where the hell they got that from and I've told that to Alex. That is a bald-faced lie, and it frankly is pissing me off, excuse my language, that they continue to push it and say it."
"I have told them –– you know, unless I need to get a cognitive test, and I just totally forget all these things, but I'm, you know, I'm 49, but maybe I'll go to my doctor and get a check-up," he continued. "So for me it provides me all of what I need to know about what this book is about."
"I've seen similar with [Biden adviser] Jake Sullivan saying that the situation that they talk about him did not happen.," he added before recalling, "I know in terms of the [George] Clooney situation, I mean, there are some things that I can also share about that Clooney situation. You know, that part where they show Barack Obama holding on to Joe Biden's arm and leading him off right in front of us? I went to my wife when I saw that that or heard about that in the book, and I said, 'Wasn't that where those three young, it was three young white men who was standing up yelling at Joe Biden about Palestine."
"They were protesting right up front, and he was trying to listen to what they were saying and Obama grabbed his arm and pulled him away," he added. "My wife said, 'Yeah, I remember that, we were sitting right there in the audience.'"
"But that book lost all credibility when they put my name in it for something that did not happen," he accused. "And then they continue to double down on that particular story."

The Supreme Court's increasing use of the so-called "shadow docket" to issue quickie rulings mostly in Donald Trump's favor was on the receiving end of a smack-down on MSNBC on Sunday morning.
With legal expert Melissa Murray explaining the maneuver is normally something that is used for case management, Slate legal analyst Dahlia Lithwick noted that the spare rulings, shorn of detailed legal explanations and citations, is currently giving Trump free rein to do as he pleases -- without justification or reasoning..
"Maybe a good way to think about it is through the lens of this legitimacy question, this court's legitimacy question that we've been talking about for years now, and the sort of plummeting public trust in the court," she began. "Well, what is the single most essential thing that a judicial body can do to instill in the public the sense that this is a lawyerly, sober fact-backed business."
EXCLUSIVE: Trump accused of new grift that puts Qatari plane in shade
"The opinion is the single most important thing, because that stands, right, as precedent going forward. Not just for credibility for the public, it's guidance for courts in similar cases. 'Oh right, this looks like that, we'll do that thing," she continued. "As Melissa just said, as you just said, that's gone on the shadow docket. There's no argument, there's very spartan briefing, the court below has been leapfrogged so that we don't have a developed record and then you get this kind of back-of-the-envelope reasoning from the justices two, three sentences."
"Sometimes you don't even know how they voted!' she exclaimed. "And for a court that's really grappling with keeping a hold on the public respect and regard to do this kind of sort of slot machine justice on the fly is the worst possible way to say we're a serious entity."

Democratic strategist Lucy Caldwell undermined a Fox News panel criticizing former President Joe Biden by revealing she had recently been diagnosed with cancer.
During Sunday's MediaBuzz program, conservative pundit Clay Travis argued that Biden would have had to step down during his second term because of recently diagnosed prostate cancer.
"And I just think we're very lucky as a country that Donald Trump is in office because otherwise, I think Joe Biden would have to step down and Kamala Harris would be elevated," Travis said. "And we just saw that the nation, overwhelmingly, all 50 states, moved against her compared to 2020."
"So I'm thankful for Trump," he continued. "I feel like we dodged a bullet."
EXCLUSIVE: Trump accused of new grift that puts Qatari plane in shade
"Clay is not a urologist or an oncologist," Caldwell replied. "I am actively a cancer patient right now. I also feel great."
"You don't know what is going on with your cancer from one moment to the next," she added. "Joe Biden was just diagnosed. The fact that his doctors don't have all the information does not necessarily reflect that there's a cover-up. Cancer is a treatment. They're all different. And it's evolving moment to moment. You don't know."

Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Marty Makary argued that insulin should be withheld from people with diabetes and replaced with "cooking classes."
During a Sunday interview on Fox News, Makary promoted a report from President Donald Trump's Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission.
"You know, scientists have been waving the flag for years, saying you've got to look at this body of scientific data, and the modern medical establishment really has been disconnected," he opined. "We've got to stop and ask ourselves, should we be focusing more on school lunch programs, not just putting every kid on Ozempic?"
"We've got to talk about environmental toxins that cause cancer, not just the chemo to treat it," he continued. "And maybe we need to treat more diabetes with cooking classes, not just throwing insulin at people."
EXCLUSIVE: Trump accused of new grift that puts Qatari plane in shade
Makary said he "could not be more excited" about the MAHA report.
"It talks about 70% of the diet being ultra-processed," he added. "It talks about pesticides, microplastics, natural light exposure in children, sleep quality. Remember, Republican, Democrat, and independent moms showed up in high numbers to vote for President Trump over this very issue."

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) continued his war on the "big beautiful" budget bill the GOP-controlled House fashioned at Donald Trump's direction on during an appearance on CNN Sunday morning.
While on CNN's "State of the Union," the Wisconsin Republican told host Jake Tapper there are enough Republicans in the Senate willing to kill the bill presented by House Speaker MIke Johnson (R-LA) unless it undergoes a major re-write.
Along the way, he took a potshot at the face of his own party.
EXCLUSIVE: Trump accused of new grift that puts Qatari plane in shade
After excitedly detailing the many ways the bill, as it currently stands, will massively add to the national debt, Johnson was asked by host Tapper, "We're almost out of time, but I'm just wondering if you could just give me a number, how many other Republican senators do you think share your concerns and are willing to make work to make major changes to this bill?"
"I think we have enough to stop the process until the president gets serious about spending reduction and reducing the deficit," Johnson shot back.
At the same time that Johnson was on CNN, Sen Rand Paul (R-KY) was making the same case on Fox, telling host Shannon Bream, "Somebody has to stand up and yell, the emperor has no clothes, and everybody's falling in lockstep on this, passed the big, beautiful bill, don't question anything."
