A right-wing think tank that helped draft Project 2025 plans to target volunteer editors on Wikipedia with malicious tracking links who it alleges are "abusing their position" by publishing antisemitic content, according to a report Tuesday in the Forward.

Documents obtained by the outlet say employees of the Heritage Foundation plan to use facial recognition software and a database of hacked usernames and passwords to find the editors, who mainly use pseudonyms.

A bizarre new detail has emerged about Matthew Livelsberger, the deceased Army Green Beret who is believed to have staged the Cybertruck bombing outside of Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, according to The Associated Press.

Specifically, he may have turned to the artificial intelligence model ChatGPT as an accomplice to tell him how to set up his plan.

Any notion that President-elect Donald Trump is riffing when he suggests buying Greenland is flatly wrong, but his suggestions to annex Canada are clearly a "troll" meant to be a "dominance play," CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins and New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman said Tuesday.

"The idea that he's just coming up with this on the fly, that's not the case," Collins told fellow CNN anchor Anderson Cooper on Tuesday evening, referring to his remarks about purchasing Greenland.

A right-wing Canadian politician is having none of President-elect Donald Trump's repeated demands for Canada to join the U.S. as a state if they want to avoid tariffs.

According to The Daily Beast, he's responding in kind.

Far-right Trump-appointed district judge Aileen Cannon has no authority to block special counsel Jack Smith from releasing his report on the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case, former Watergate prosecutor Jill Wine-Banks told MSNBC's Joy Reid on Tuesday evening.

This comes as other legal experts have speculated Cannon herself knows such an order to block the report is invalid, and she just wants to run out the clock long enough for Trump to appoint officials at the Justice Department who can prevent it from being released.

Despite his best efforts, President-elect Donald Trump is still scheduled to be sentenced for his 34 felony convictions this Friday in New York.

Trump was hoping to push his sentencing date past his January 20 inauguration date, after which any sentencing is unlikely given that it would interfere with his duties as commander-in-chief. But on Tuesday, Justice Ellen Gesmer of the First Judicial Department's Appellate Division in New York denied the president-elect's motion to delay his January 10 sentencing date.

A father and son have been arrested and face assault charges after authorities said they tried to force their way past police officers protecting the Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021.

Jonathan Wayne "Duke" Valentour, 26, of Boulder, Colorado, was arrested Monday, Justice Department prosecutors said Tuesday. His father, Joseph Charles Valentour, 66, of Centerville, Ohio, was arrested Friday.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has introduced a huge list of changes and hires that appear directly calculated to ingratiate himself to President-elect Donald Trump — but it's unlikely to give him the mileage and goodwill he's hoping for, political strategist Chai Komanduri told MSNBC's Ari Melber on Tuesday's edition of "The Beat."

"What do you see in the politics here?" asked Melber. "Zuckerberg previously had different policies, he said he had frankly different views, so had Trump lost, had the vote swung a point and a half the other way, presumably, we would be moving past some of this."

A fierce opponent of Donald Trump jabbed news outlets Tuesday over its recent reporting of the president-elect.

"The fact that no news channel is discussing the kidnapping of the venezuela oppositions son, but Trump and Greenland is all over, just means it will be four years of the same BS trap," wrote former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL).

Firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) took little time in following through on her vow to draw up legislation to make President-elect Donald Trump's latest antic a reality.

Trump said at a Mar-a-Lago news conference Tuesday he wants to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America."

President-elect Donald Trump has lately doubled down on his obsession with annexing new territory into the United States, from his desire to buy Greenland to his ultimatum for Canada to become a U.S. state if it wants to avoid tariffs, to most recently calls to reclaim the Panama Canal Zone and turn the Gulf of Mexico into the "Gulf of America."

But even all of this wasn't enough for longtime Trump ally Steve Bannon. On his latest "War Room" episode on Tuesday speaking to far-right activist Jack Posobiec, he fantasized about Trump seizing the entirety of the North American continent.

Fans of the late former President Jimmy Carter weren't happy to see Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) delivering speeches as the late Democrat was placed in the Capitol rotunda.

Several people commented that Johnson incorrectly said that Carter served in the Army and then followed it with the detail that Carter was on a submarine.

Mike Johnson was re-elected speaker of the House last week despite a rumored uprising against him, and MSNBC's Jen Psaki said that showed the relative weakness within the Republican Party's congressional majorities.

Nine GOP lawmakers voted against the speaker at one point during Friday's election — the same number needed to trigger a vote to remove him — and the former White House press secretary published a new column urging Democrats to seize on the majority's dysfunction.
