First Lady Melania Trump broke sharply with her husband’s scorched-earth rhetoric Tuesday, offering warm praise for former President Joe Biden and Jill Biden during a Fox News appearance promoting her upcoming documentary Melania. Recalling inauguration day, Melania described the Bidens as “very nice” and said their time together was marked by a “cordial” and even “beautiful relationship,” a striking contrast to Donald Trump’s years of insults, calls for Biden’s jailing, and dismissal of sympathy following Biden’s cancer diagnosis. The unexpected show of civility comes as Trump aggressively hypes the film amid reports of sluggish ticket sales ahead of its release.

Immigration agents across the country are quietly rebelling against the Trump administration after being thrust into what they describe as a “no-win situation” following the killing of Minneapolis ICU nurse Alex Pretti, according to a report by independent journalist Ken Klippenstein. Agents told Klippenstein they are furious over what they see as a politically driven “information war” from Washington, rejecting officials’ rush to brand Pretti a “domestic terrorist” despite video evidence showing he was unarmed when shot repeatedly. The administration’s aggressive damage-control narrative has fueled paranoia, fear of retaliation, and deep internal dissent, with some agents openly questioning leadership and even calling for a pullout from Minnesota as confidence in DHS leadership collapses.

Behind the scenes of the Melania Trump documentary, morale appears to be so low that some crew members are now quietly rooting for the film to bomb, according to a new Rolling Stone report. Insiders described the Brett Ratner-directed project as chaotic, exhausting, and plagued by access issues — compounded by discomfort over Ratner’s presence and the film’s perceived “propaganda” bent. Several crew members reportedly sought to have their names removed from the credits, with one source saying they would “feel great” if the movie flopped, even as Amazon MGM Studios insists it greenlit the project believing audiences would love it.

President Donald Trump’s attempt to hype his wife’s upcoming documentary Melania backfired spectacularly Monday, as social media users mocked what appeared to be dismal ticket sales ahead of its release. Screenshots of wide-open theaters quickly went viral, undercutting Trump’s promotional push and prompting jokes about the film “selling out fast” despite rows of empty seats. The ridicule was compounded by renewed scrutiny of the project’s co-producer and director, Brett Ratner, whose past sexual misconduct allegations and ties to figures linked to Jeffrey Epstein resurfaced alongside the box office mockery, turning the rollout into yet another online embarrassment for the Trump brand.

A 2018 Second Amendment post by slain conservative commentator Charlie Kirk has gone viral again in the wake of the deadly Minneapolis shooting of ICU nurse Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents, drawing sharp reactions online and among critics of the MAGA movement. Kirk’s words — that the right to bear arms exists so people can defend themselves against a tyrannical government — have been widely circulated on social media as a rebuke to those defending armed civilians’ involvement in protests and federal enforcement actions, with commentators saying the quote underscores tensions and contradictions within the movement he once helped shape.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Monday declined to defend senior aide Stephen Miller after he blasted slain Minneapolis resident Alex Pretti as an “assassin” who tried to murder federal agents in the wake of the controversial Border Patrol killing — a characterization made before any public investigation and widely disputed as misleading. During a terse briefing, Leavitt stressed that President Trump himself has not used that language and emphasized the administration wants the facts to guide the ongoing inquiry, even as federal officials’ early claims about Pretti’s intentions have faced blowback amid video evidence and growing calls for transparency.

A leading Republican candidate for Minnesota governor abruptly dropped out of the race Monday, blasting President Donald Trump’s aggressive immigration enforcement as an “unmitigated disaster” and a political liability for his party. Minneapolis attorney Chris Madel — who had even offered legal help to an ICE agent involved in a controversial killing — said in a video announcement that he could not continue his campaign while national Republicans pursue what he called “retribution” against Minnesota citizens amid the federal immigration surge linked to the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Madel warned that the GOP’s hardline stance is making statewide victories nearly impossible and alienating voters of all backgrounds.

As ticket sales crater and performances are quietly canceled at the Kennedy Center following Donald Trump’s takeover, the president is once again deflecting blame. Trump claimed on Truth Social that he “inherited” massive deficits and stepped in to rescue the institution, despite evidence that financial and ratings troubles worsened after he installed himself as board chair. Since Trump assumed control, The Nutcracker has seen a historic drop in ticket sales, the annual honors broadcast hit record-low ratings under his hosting, and a Trump-aligned board voted to rename the venue — a move it had no authority to make — fueling criticism that Trump’s cultural power grab has backfired spectacularly.

President Donald Trump erupted at pollsters on Monday, threatening them with criminal prosecution over what he claimed were “fake and fraudulent” surveys showing his administration underwater with voters. In a Truth Social rant, Trump singled out not only mainstream outlets but also conservative stalwarts like Fox News and The Wall Street Journal, accusing them of knowingly pushing bad polls to influence elections. The latest outburst comes as new polling shows fewer than a third of Americans believe the country is better off under Trump, prompting the president to revive his long-running insistence that unfavorable numbers are not just wrong, but part of a coordinated “scam” against him.

Health experts are raising fresh concerns about Donald Trump’s cognitive health, citing worsening language problems and confusion in recent public appearances. Speaking to Slate, researcher Carolyn Aldwin said Trump’s frequent unfinished sentences and word substitutions may signal cognitive decline that can only be confirmed through testing. The scrutiny intensified after Trump bragged about acing a cognitive exam, which Dr. Vin Gupta noted is typically used when physicians are screening for age-related impairment or early dementia.

Fallout from the Minneapolis deaths of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti is now ricocheting through conservative media, with pundits and even Trump-aligned officials blasting DHS leadership for what they call a disastrous and dishonest response. Fox News reporter Bill Melugin revealed that agency officials are privately furious, saying the shooting of Pretti and the insistence he planned a “massacre” — contradicted by video evidence — has been “catastrophic” for morale, with some considering quitting outright. The criticism quickly spread, as conservative pundit Erick Erickson reported Trump’s growing displeasure, and conservative columnist Jonah Goldberg accused DHS and Stephen Miller’s camp of prioritizing “spectacle” over safety and credibility, and other conservative voices warned that Kristi Noem and Border Patrol leadership have torched the agency’s standing — all while Goldberg openly mocked Vice President JD Vance’s defense of the incident as yet another implausible narrative.

President Donald Trump is quietly distancing himself from the Department of Homeland Security as scrutiny mounts over the execution-style killing of 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti and officials’ combative response afterward. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Trump declined to back DHS claims that Pretti was solely at fault, saying only that the shooting is “under review,” even as he offered mixed signals about Pretti’s lawful gun possession. Behind the scenes, conservative pundit Erick Erickson reports that Trump is increasingly frustrated with DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and Border Patrol chief Gregory Bovino for clinging to a discredited narrative that paints Pretti as the aggressor, fueling internal tensions and exposing cracks in the administration’s handling of the deadly incident.

President Donald Trump’s recent late-night barrage of Truth Social posts has raised red flags for at least one medical expert, who says the behavior resembles a common post-stroke complication. Speaking on The Daily Beast Podcast, Dr. Bruce Davidson of Washington State University said Trump’s angry, sleepless social media tirade — which veered from attacking enemies to lamenting his lack of a Nobel Peace Prize — is consistent with “agitated depression,” a condition often seen in stroke patients. Davidson said the episode suggests Trump may need closer involvement from his medical team, warning that the president’s behavior reflects not just personal distress but a broader failure of medical oversight at the highest levels of government.
