President Donald Trump seems to have broad polling support among Republicans for the escalating war against Iran, despite the vocal outcry of some prominent MAGA figures against the war. But that support may be a lot more fragile than it seems, former GOP strategist Tim Miller told MS NOW's Alicia Menendez on Monday's edition of "Deadline: White House."

"I think it is interesting ... that the people who are calling out the absurdity, the recklessness of what they're doing, are people ... who in many other ways [are] in lockstep with this administration," said Menendez, bringing up as examples Reps. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) and Nancy Mace (R-SC). "I wonder what you make as a sort of student of the MAGA movement and who chooses when to be in alignment and when about the specific fractures, we are seeing in this moment."

Senate Republicans are abdicating their basic oversight powers over President Donald Trump's war in Iran, former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) fumed Monday on MS NOW's "Deadline: White House."

The segment was part of a broader discussion about how even multiple GOP senators, including Rand Paul (R-KY) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), have sounded the alarm about the administration's war plans in a new Washington Post article.

A democracy that rests on a single Supreme Court vote is "living on borrowed time" and Monday's oral arguments suggest that time may be running out, Slate legal analyst Mark Joseph Stern warned Monday.

Stern watched four conservative Supreme Court justices signal their willingness to gut mail ballot grace period laws in 30 states, potentially invalidating the votes of 750,000 Americans, with fewer than 150 days until the midterms.

President Donald Trump sparked tension among immigration enforcement Monday by posting on Truth Social that ICE agents deployed to airports should not wear masks while performing duties normally handled by TSA agents.

Trump's recommendation contradicts the Department of Homeland Security's policy allowing heavily-armed agents to conceal their identities through masks, citing safety concerns about agents being doxxed and harassed while detaining suspected undocumented immigrants.

President Donald Trump's winning cross-section of voters that got him back into office is already falling apart, according to a new poll released by Morning Consult on Monday, with several voting groups essential to his victory turning on him at a rapid pace.

This comes amid widespread public outrage over the war in Iran, abuses of power by federal immigration agents, and a swiftly weakening economy that is seeing a massive jobs slowdown at the same time as inflation is beginning to accelerate again.

A new report shed light on the collateral damage of President Donald Trump's mass deportation campaign: the dogs and cats left behind.

When federal immigration agents swept through New Orleans, they snatched people and left pets to fend for themselves, according to a New York Times report that looked into the quiet devastation of Trump's immigration agenda — a surge of abandoned and displaced pets flooding already-overwhelmed animal shelters from Minnesota to Florida.

President Donald Trump claimed "productive conversations" with Iranian officials Monday as justification for extending his Strait of Hormuz deadline by five days, but Iran's foreign ministry denied any talks occurred.

Trump issued a Saturday ultimatum threatening strikes on Iranian power plants unless U.S. vessels could transit the Strait of Hormuz, warning potential "global economic disaster of historic scale."

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has been on a crusade of "subterfuge" against the Constitution by instituting stealth "viewpoint discrimination" at every turn, former prosecutor Harry Litman wrote for his "Talking Feds" Substack on Monday — and just got curb-stomped for it by an irate federal judge.

Hegseth, a former Fox News personality who styles himself "Secretary of War" due to a controversial and non congressionally approved department name change by President Donald Trump, has repeatedly been caught abusing his powers, including threats to court-martial a U.S. senator who reminded troops they have a duty to refuse illegal orders.

The Miami Herald reported Friday that bags of shredded documents were discovered outside the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan where Jeffrey Epstein was detained.

Investigatory files revealed at least one inmate was involved in document disposal, raising questions about prison guard involvement.

President Donald Trump has spent much of his second term so far scrambling to add his name, or some other mark, onto America's national monuments, from the Kennedy Center to the White House, to even replacing Martin Luther King Jr. Day with his own birthday for free admission into national parks.

It's an impulse shared by many dictators and autocrats around the world, wrote Keith Richburg for The Washington Post, as they all seek to leave a permanent manifestation of their own will and their impact on the nation.
