Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, revealed that Vice President J.D. Vance believes President Donald Trump "doesn't even understand what he's doing."

On Sunday, Goldberg told NBC host Kristen Welker that he observed Vance's opinion of Trump after being mistakenly included on a Signal chat about a U.S. attack on Yemen.

Fox News host Shannon Bream challenged White House trade adviser Peter Navarro after he insisted that President Donald Trump's tariffs were "tax cuts."

During an interview on Fox News Sunday, Bream noted that Trump had said he "couldn't care less" if car prices increase because of his tariffs.

Add Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) to the list of Republican lawmakers calling for an investigation high-ranking Donald Trump officials who engaged in a chat on the Signal app where they discussed an upcoming military attack on Yemen with a journalist mistakenly invited to listen in.

Speaking with CNN's Dana Bash, the conservative from Oklahoma didn't pause when asked if an investigation is warranted about comments made by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth who shared blow-by-blow assault plans with his colleagues that have since alarmed military officials.

"I want to get straight to this question of this potential national security breach," the CNN host prompted her guest. "The Senate Armed Services Committee chair, Roger Wicker, he said the incident, quote, 'Raises questions as to the use of unclassified networks to discuss sensitive and classified information.'"

"He wants the Pentagon inspector general to investigate," she added. "Do you also want an independent investigation into how all of this happened? "

"It's entirely appropriate for the inspector general to be able to look at it and to be able to answer two questions," the GOP senator replied. "One is obviously, how did a reporter get into this thread in the conversation? And the second part of the conversation is when individuals from the administration are not sitting at their desk in a classified setting on a classified computer, how do they communicate to each other?"

"Currently, it's through encrypted apps , it's how that communication happens," he added. "The next question is, is that the right way to be able to do it? Obviously, that's the way it has been done for quite a while now while they're out on the road."

"The national security adviser, Mike Waltz, said it was a mistake to use Signal," Bash pressed. "He has taken responsibility. The defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, has not, even though he's the one who shared this specific information about the timing and aircraft being used in this strike. Should he take responsibility as well, senator.?"

"I think he just joined into an encrypted app," he replied. "I don't see it as much of an issue because, again, they all believe that this was a closed circle of conversation. He was trying to give each other a heads up of what's about to happen, as we had given a heads up to our foreign partners overseas as well, to let them know what was about to happen as well. So this is this is normal communication on it. What's not normal is having a reporter in the middle of it."

Reacting to a Wall Street Journal report that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has been dragging his third wife along with him to intel briefings, Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) took a personal jab at the Donald Trump nominee.

On Friday, the Journal reported that the embattled Hegseth, already being scrutinized for sharing military plans in a Signal chatroom before an attack in Yemen on Houthi rebels, has been inviting his wife Jennifer to tag along to some of his meetings.

CNN conservative S.E. Cupp covered her ears and "Table for Five" Sara Sidner had to yell at her guests on Saturday morning as conservative attorney Arthur Aidala forcefully, and loudly, attempted to make the case that it is perfectly fine for the Donald Trump administration to round up suspected gang members based upon their tattoos.

What started out as a discussion on Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem deciding to do yet another photo-op, this time in front of caged and posed prisoners in a prison in El Salvador, which led Aidala to defend the Trump administration's PR campaign while ignoring the rights of immigrants who have been snatched up by ICE.

The attorney seemed particularly obsessed with what he called gang tattoos and held court at length describing them while his co-panelists futilely tried to get him to answer questions about due process owed to those being arrested and shipped out of the country despite court warnings.

With Cupp covering her ears and then picking up her phone and jokingly saying into it, "Mom, can you pick me up?" as Aidala shouted next to her, host Sidner lost her patience, pounded on the table, and shouted everyone down with, "Alright, hold on. Hold on. Order in the court. Alright talking over each over each other doesn't work. No one can hear what you're saying."

"You are making the argument that having a tattoo can make someone look like a criminal," she said to the attorney. "Okay, that's the argument you are having. It sometimes is admissible, but you're also making the argument that because they have tattoos, they must be criminal –– is that what you're arguing?"

"No," the attorney protested.

"It sounded like that's what you were arguing," the host shot back.

He then claimed he was talking about the "imaging" the Trump administration is attempting to sell the public on its immigration policies.

Attorney Arthur Aidala defended federal employee firings under Donald Trump's administration during a CNN appearance on Saturday morning, but angered his fellow panelists after he was confronted with America's veterans also seeing their jobs taken away which he blew off.

Seated next to CNN conservative S.E. Cupp, the attorney attempted to make the case that the Elon Musk-headed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was doing Americans a favor by getting rid of thousands of jobs and replacing them with AI and computers that he claimed will be more efficient.

It was when mention of veterans working at the VA being swept up in the purge of federal workers came up, in conjunction with him comparing the firings to "cleaning out the garage," when things got heated and "Table for Five" host Sara Sidner lost control due to all the shouting.

"I just don't think we should compare firing veterans from the VA to cleaning out the garage," Cupp admonished Aidala as he talked over her and she could be heard uttering, "Gross."

With order briefly restored, she continued, "Like Gretchen [Carlson], I'm a conservative ... I want to cut fraud and waste. I want to make the government smaller, but there's a smart way to do it and we're talking about human capital."

"That's not the same thing as cleaning out the garage and, unfortunately, I feel like Elon and Trump see it your way –– like we're just cleaning out the garbage, which is actually humans. Humans like veterans and humans like air traffic controllers, AKA people who know stuff," she continued.

Undeterred the attorney replied, "That's life, that how it works in all big corporations."

A glib comment by Attorney General Pam Bondi that the use of the Signal messaging service is perfectly satisfactory for high-level conversations between Donald Trump administration officials was dismantled on MSNBC on Saturday morning.

During an interview with Sen. Chris Coons on MSNBC's "The Weekend " former RNC Chair Michael Steele got the Delaware democrats to agree with him the Trump appointee is either lying or has no idea what she is talking about.

During an appearance on Fox News on Thursday, Trump's AG claimed, "I think Signal is a very safe way to communicate. I don't think foreign adversaries are able to hack Signal as far as I know and maybe people just have to keep an eye on their contact list a little bit more carefully."

After sharing the clip, with Steele describing Bondi as someone whose "arrogance in the job is stultifying," he suggested to Coons, "So, senator, is she being deliberately ignorant just for the sake of just sort of playing down this whole thing? Because as the attorney general of the United States, I think she would understand that in fact, our foreign adversaries absolutely know how to dip into, as the former director of the CIA , John Brennan said at this table just a moment or two ago and said, yes, the communication between me and Symone [Sanders Townsend] and Alicia [Menedez] is encrypted when we send it. But at the end points, once we get it on this thing, if the phone is compromised, madam attorney general, they can access that information."

Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-IN) became the latest in a growing list of Republican lawmakers to get cornered by her own constituents at a town hall — and grew visibly frustrated with them.

Her event in Westfield saw hundreds of people enraged at tech billionaire Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency task force for dismantling the civil service and trying to undermine federal programs across the board — and she leapt to Musk's defense, in a moment captured by NOTUS' Daniella Diaz.

A one-time White House communications director during President Donald Trump's first term appeared to put his closest allies and advisors on notice Friday evening: the president is no fan of sycophants, contrary to popular belief.

For his second term, Trump stuffed his Cabinet with MAGA loyalists, who critics warned won't put up as many guardrails against his more outlandish — and possibly illegal — whims.

Rep. Jamie Raskin, ranking Democrat of the powerful House Judiciary Committee, railed Friday afternoon against President Donald Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk for running what he called "an utterly lawless operation."

The discussion centered around Trump's war against specific law firms as part of his retribution campaign. One firm represented Hillary Clinton, and another employed Andrew Weissmann at one time, both of whom Trump has targeted as foes.

President Donald Trump's latest round of tariffs is going to cause immediate harm to the economy for hypothetical benefits that would take years to be realized — if ever, Democratic strategist Meghan Hays said on a CNN panel Friday afternoon.

The tariffs, which apply to foreign cars and auto parts, caused yet another stock market dive and tanked the share value of Ford and General Motors, two companies the tariff aimed to promote and protect.

Vice President J.D. Vance attacked Denmark Friday while speaking from the Greenland.

Vance told U.S. military members that shoring up Greenland — an autonomous territory in the Kingdom of Denmark — was now considered essential to the U.S.
