'It's an admission': New scramble said to be a confession of major Trump failure

By announcing a new naval operation to provide security for vessels to transit the Strait of Hormuz, President Donald Trump had “effectively” admitted that his naval blockade of the critical shipping waterway was a failure, Bloomberg columnist Javier Blas argued on Monday.

“The push to re-open the Strait of Hormuz today, with two US warships crossing it and two US-flagged merchant vessels, signals the White House realizes it cannot keep waiting for the blockade to force Iran into the negotiation table,” Blas wrote in a social media post on X.

New stats blow up Trump admin's key defense of ICE violence: WaPo

New data contradicts the Trump administration's arguments to justify a sharp rise in violence by federal officers against migrants in detention centers.

Trump snarls at 'crying like a baby' CNN strategist for calling him a 'dictator'

Donald Trump flew off the handle on Monday morning, attacking Van Jones, claiming the CNN personality once came to him “crying like a baby” for help, and now has deemed him a “dictator.”

Jones, who once famously praised Trump in his first term after the president honored the widow of a slain NAVY Seal during a joint session of Congress, telling his CNN colleagues, “He became President of the United States in that moment, period,” has always straddled the line between faint praise and then criticism.

Trump admin quietly ramping up ‘illegal’ operation as Iran takes center stage: analysis

As the United States’ war against Iran continues to dominate news headlines, the Trump administration is simultaneously ramping up its attacks on suspected drug traffickers in the Caribbean, attacks that several legal scholars continue to call illegal.

Big-name outsider is primed to swipe '28 nomination from Vance and Rubio: ex-GOP insider

According to DC insiders, the race to assume the MAGA crown from Donald Trump as the Republican Party’s 2028 presidential nomination is a two-horse race between Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

However, as longtime GOP campaign strategist Rick Wilson wrote on Monday, there is a wild card in the mix who not only could use Donald Trump’s outsider playbook from 2016, but already has a base to lean upon that could elevate him in the early primaries and clear the field: former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
