President Donald Trump took to social media Monday to warn Americans against vandalizing his beautification projects in Washington, D.C., threatening those who “even attempt” to destroy “such things” with a decade behind bars.

“Of the MANY Statues and Fountains that we rebuilt, renovated, cleaned, and fixed, the only one that was Vandalized was the Reflecting Pool, which is being taken care of, ASAP!” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social, repeating a claim that’s been disputed by critics.

Fox News host Brian Kilmeade lost it, calling for President Donald Trump to replace JD Vance as Iran negotiator — blasting his Israel criticism as "ridiculous."

On Fox & Friends, Kilmeade unloaded on Vice President JD Vance after Vance warned Israeli cabinet members Thursday that Trump is "the only powerful ally" they have "anywhere left in the entire world." The remarks came as U.S. and Iranian negotiators were deep into a 60-day sprint to flesh out the memorandum of understanding the two countries signed last week.

A majority of Americans – including Republicans – believe that President Donald Trump was desperate to end his war in Iran regardless of whether his goals were accomplished.

The president signed a memorandum of understanding last week to negotiate an end to the war he launched Feb. 28, and CNN's Harry Enten presented polling data that showed public opinion had remained solidly against Trump all along.

Amid the ongoing negotiations in Switzerland between Washington and Tehran, Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani shared a photograph of himself and Vice President JD Vance on social media, and an odd detail in the image sparked a wave of speculation among onlookers.

Posted Sunday night on X, the photograph shows a seated Vance typing on a laptop beside Al Thani, who is gesturing toward the laptop screen. Standing behind them is Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and special peace envoy. What drew curiosity from onlookers, however, was what appeared to be inserted into the laptop.

President Donald Trump has spent the better part of a decade trying to outrun the ghost of Herbert Hoover — and last week, he brought him up twice in two days.

"I never want to be the late, great Herbert Hoover," Trump told Marc Caputo on "The Axios Show." Days earlier, at a G-7 press conference in France, he'd said almost the same thing: Of all the presidents he's studied, Hoover is the one he never wanted to become.

MS NOW's Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski expressed shock over a new report exposing the decades-long influence of Tulsi Gabbard's religious mentor over her political career.

Gabbard recently stepped down as President Donald Trump's director of national intelligence after serving as a Democratic congresswoman, but the Washington Post reported over the weekend that that she has been guided every step of the way by eccentric religious leader Chris Butler, head of a Hare Krishna breakaway group called the Science of Identity Foundation.

MS NOW's Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski cut into a live press conference to call out Vice President JD Vance's remarks in real time.

The vice president spoke to reporters Monday morning in Switzerland, where he's been engaged in high-stakes talks with Iranian officials, and Vance was asked about President Donald Trump's threats to kill those same Iranian negotiators before they returned home if the Strait of Hormuz remained closed.

A Republican political action committee (PAC) that “initially took great effort” to hide their identity came clean Monday after admitting to Punchbowl News they had “meddled” in Democratic primaries in several states.

“Republicans are leveling the playing field after over a decade of Democrats meddling in our primaries,” said Samantha Bullock, a spokesperson for Conservative Americans PAC, speaking with Punchbowl News. “And with the Democrat Party in the midst of a civil war, Republicans would be stupid not to take advantage while pushing their candidates farther left.”

President Donald Trump is slated to attend the Senate GOP’s Steering lunch event on Wednesday at the invitation of Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL), an invite seen by other Republican lawmakers as “a slight” toward Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) amid the president’s ongoing spat with the chamber, Punchbowl News reported Monday.

Trump has sparked significant “chaos” for Senate Republicans in recent weeks, from derailing the caucus’ entire agenda last week by “canceling” a Senate confirmation hearing, to pushing his controversial voting ID bill the SAVE Act that Thune has said does not have the support to advance.

A new front has opened in the politics of artificial intelligence, and it's coming from inside President Donald Trump's own coalition.

Amy Kremer, a former Tea Party leader who helped organize the rally preceding the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, has emerged as one of the most prominent conservative voices pushing back against Silicon Valley's influence over AI policy, reported the Washington Post. As chair of the advocacy group Humans First, Kremer is attempting to channel the same populist anger that once fueled the Tea Party into a movement against AI labs and the tech billionaires who have aligned themselves with Trump.
