Tech billionaire Elon Musk is suffering the consequences of the growing unpopularity of President Donald Trump’s policies, which the head of the Department of Government Efficiency has become deeply associated with, according to MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow.

The primetime host on Tuesday delivered a bruising assessment of the damaging effect Musk’s connection to the Trump White House has had on his electric car company, Tesla.

A potential new White House plan that would award a “National Medal of Motherhood” to families with six or more children was doused with a stark reality by CNN data analyst Harry Enten, who made clear how he views the MAGA strategy to make America have more babies again.

“No bueno,” Enten said Tuesday. “In terms of countries that have actually given out medals for motherhood, it's not exactly the 1927 Yankees, all right,” he added.

An Arizona Democrat found no friends late Tuesday as she denounced the Trump administration over its mass deportation effort, which mistakenly resulted in a Maryland father being deported to El Salvador.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari, who was elected to Arizona's 3rd Congressional District in November, joined "The Ingraham Angle" on Fox News with host Laura Ingraham, an avowed ally of President Donald Trump.

Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) warned U.S. Secretary Pete Hegseth that he was now occupying “a sober job,” requiring more skill than he is presently delivering.

“Here's what Pete Hegseth is,” McCaskill told Deadline: White House anchor Nicole Wallace. “He's a show off. He's a braggart. He wants to show off to his friends what he knows, not thinking about the consequences to the brave men that were piloting those those aircraft that were dropping those bombs. He wants to do workouts and pushups. He wants to show off all of his regalia, and do videos and photo-ops. He doesn't understand that the secretary of defense is a sober job, and I mean that in more ways than one.”

CNN's Jake Tapper took the highly unusual move on Tuesday evening of calling out rival CBS News, following an allegation that the network was stifling the journalistic freedom of one of its core lineup programs to appease President Donald Trump.

"The executive producer of CBS News' "60 Minutes," Bill Owens, resigned today," said Tapper. "Now, normally that would probably not be news that we would bring you, except the circumstances rise to the level of, well, alarm. Owens said in a letter to his staff that, quote, 'Over the past months, it has become clear that I would not be allowed to run the show as I have always run it, to make independent decisions based on what was right for '60 Minutes,' right for the audience,' unquote. And the context here is key, because President Trump has been suing CBS News and its parent company, Paramount Global, for $20 billion out of fury the network aired an interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris even as he personally declined his own interview.

Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) didn’t mince words as he delivered harsh comments about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who the lawmaker, a former Air Force general, made clear would not last in his administration if he were commander-in-chief.

Bacon subjected Hegseth to a brutal assessment during a CNN interview on Tuesday, following new bombshell revelations that the embattled defense secretary shared confidential attack plans on a Signal chat for a second time – on this occasion, with his wife, brother, personal attorney and about a dozen other people in tow, according to media reports.

A former Democratic fundraiser who left the party following the November election and declared herself a Republican — clashing with Democratic Party leaders on her way out — took to a right-wing network on Tuesday to declare she really has switched parties.

"I called you a Trojan horse because I'm not sure you're truly conservative or not," said host Eric Bolling. "So let's just do this now —"

CNN Pentagon correspondent Natasha Bertrand said that all of the information leaking out of the Department of Defense has left Secretary Pete Hegseth "paranoid."

Host Jake Tapper for Tuesday's episode of "The Lead" described Hegseth's latest scandal in which he "shared sensitive, possibly classified pending military strike plans on Signal group chats" that included his family members.

Former White House Counsel Ty Cobb, who served during President Donald Trump's first term, scorned the U.S. House and Senate on Tuesday, calling lawmakers chickens.

Speaking to MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace on "Deadline White House," Cobb addressed the recent resignations of three assistant U.S. attorneys in the Southern District of New York after they refused to admit wrongdoing in the case involving New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

Fox News’ Martha MacCallum found herself calling out American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten in a fiery on-air clash Tuesday.

The feisty interview exchange touched off almost immediately after Weingarten appeared on Fox News' "The Story with Martha MacCallum" to discuss a Supreme Court case the conservative justices took up earlier in the day, involving censorship rights over LGBTQ+ materials in public schools to religious parents.

Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) held an event in Estero, Florida, on Monday, where residents of his district expressed their anger over drastic cuts to government agencies that many count on for services.

When he came into office, President Donald Trump created the Department of Government Efficiency by executive order and tasked tech billionaire Elon Musk with finding things to cut. That initiative has been behind the upheaval and dismantling of government agencies. Websites, grants, programs, and employees have been cut or frozen under the promise that Trump will save taxpayers trillions.

Right-wing influencer Tim Pool asked White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt to criticize the media over the mistaken deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, which he called "the Maryland Man hoax."

During Tuesday's White House press briefing, Leavitt revealed she had invited Pool to sit in as a member of "new media." The right-wing influencer was allowed to ask the first question of the briefing.
