President Donald Trump's strikes on suspected drug trafficking vessels, apart from being illegal, appear to have been executed with no proper planning, retired Rear Adm. William Baumgartner told MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace on "Deadline: White House."

This comes after explosive reporting that military officials fired on survivors of at least one strike, an act considered a war crime under both U.S. and international law, which has sent the White House and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth scrambling to alternatively justify and point fingers for the action.

President Donald Trump appears to have concocted a new ploy to buy votes for Republicans during the 2026 midterm election, a scheme that one columnist described as "brazen" in a new column published on Monday.

Jamez Bovard, a columnist and author, argued in a new column for The New York Post that Trump's idea of sending $2,000 "tariff rebate" checks to American households is a brazen attempt to buy votes ahead of the midterm. He also argued that the idea seems to contradict Trump's promises to cut government spending, a promise that he articulated in the creation of the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency.

A group of high-profile conservative voices is calling on President Donald Trump to ditch a controversial policy that has allowed tech titans to train their artificial intelligence models on copyrighted materials without paying for them, according to a new report.

Thirteen top conservatives, including former Trump advisor Steve Bannon and conservative strategist Mike Davis, penned a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and Michael Kratsios, director of Trump's Office of Science and Technology Policy, calling on the administration to revise its stance on the "fair use" doctrine.

Longtime Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) was reportedly considering a run for Congress in Texas if the Supreme Court upholds new district maps in California.

The new map approved by California voters would eliminate Issa's San Diego-area seat if the Supreme Court upholds it. On Monday, Punchbowl News reported that Issa was eyeing a seat near Dallas if the ruling does not go his way.

Joaquin Guzman Lopez, the son of infamous Mexican drug lord "El Chapo," has pleaded guilty to federal drug trafficking charges in Chicago, CNN reported on Monday.

"Known locally in Mexico as the 'Chapitos,' or 'little Chapos,' Joaquin Guzman Lopez and his brother, Ovidio Guzman Lopez, are accused of running a faction of the Sinaloa cartel. Federal authorities in 2023 described the operation as a massive effort to send 'staggering' quantities of fentanyl into the US," said the report.

A former congressional staffer for Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) posted a scathing manifesto to X on Monday, slamming her as leading the Republican Party down a dangerous path for her own self-interest — and urging President Donald Trump to cut her loose.

Mace, who bucked the GOP on a number of recent issues, including being an early supporter of releasing the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case files, is currently running for governor of South Carolina, where she has picked ugly public fights with rival candidates.

Economist E.J. Antoni, who President Donald Trump nominated to take charge of the Labor Department before reversing course, erupted at Americans receiving federal food assistance on Monday on Fox Business, claiming that many of them chose to live in poverty.

There are around 42 million Americans – including 16 million children – who receive food assistance through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, which, due to Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, is projected to boot at least 2.4 million people from the program, though it may affect as many as 22.3 million families over 10 years.
