'At least say thank you!' Trump official continues berating 'troublemaker' Zelensky

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who was in the Oval Office for last week's disastrous meeting with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky, sought to set the record straight about the motivations of President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.

"I've heard nonsense that this was a setup," Lutnick told CNN's Pamela Brown Monday. "We expected this to be a love fest. Really, it was just a love fest. But what happened is, President Zelensky came in and all he asked for was 'no concessions, security guarantees, reparations from Russia of $300 billion, give up no land, get them off our land,' and he kept going, 40 minutes before the cameras were in and 45 minutes once the cameras came in. Endlessly, relentlessly."

Trump rushing agenda because he fears he may not survive term: National Review columnist

President Donald Trump is scrambling to get his agenda implemented as quickly as possible, because he fears he may not live through his second term, National Review columnist Luther Ray Abel argued in a new article published on Monday.

"Originally, I was going to title this post 'Let Trump Cook,' i.e., just wait and see before condemning the president for his every misstep from conventional fusionist orthodoxy," wrote Abel. "But I can’t stand the imperial presidency, so I couldn’t honestly demand deference to a man for whom I wouldn’t even vote. And yet there’s an obvious (at least to me) explanation for just about everything Trump has done up to this point: He cannot stand inactivity and will take the fast and dirty route every time."

'Fundamental corruption': Bill Nye unloads on Elon Musk's alleged self-dealing

Weather experts predict that Elon Musk's latest round of government firings at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), including at the National Weather Service, will almost certainly make it more difficult to predict dangerous weather emergencies as quickly as needed.

As the Washington Post reported, "The administration let go of meteorologists, hydrologists and technicians that help inform daily weather forecasts in places including Boston and Boise, Idaho. It fired scientists who build, improve and maintain weather models that form the backbone of weather forecasting around the globe. Staff at offices responsible for warning the public about tsunamis, tornadoes and hurricanes lost their jobs, as did an entire team dedicated to communicating NOAA’s work and science to the public."
