President Donald Trump celebrated a report from The New York Post on Monday night that called talk show host Gayle King's future with her network into question.

The Post reported that King's ratings have "tanked" and that the co-CEO of Paramount, George Cheeks, has promoted a diversity, equity, and inclusion, or DEI, policy that has kept King on the air. The report cited "sources with knowledge of the situation." It added that King's contract is due to expire in May 2026.

A Texas Republican's attempt to bash CNN backfired spectacularly when Kaitlan Collins hit him with a devastating supercut smacking down his claims live on air.

Kristi Noem's Department of Homeland Security has made shocking "confessions" with its new ad blitz, according to Guthrie Graves-Fitzsimmons, vice president of programs and strategy at Interfaith Alliance.

Laura Loomer, a self-proclaimed "Proud Islamophobe" and 9/11 truther, has already claimed a number of scalps in the Trump administration by posting against various people she believes to be unqualified or Democratic sleepers, to the point that various administration officials are unleashing her on each other to advance their own careers and knife rivals.

The "magic" House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has used to keep the GOP coalition together may be starting to fade, according to two analysts.

Johnson has presided over one of the thinnest Republican majorities in recent history. That requires him to be the ultimate party dealmaker to keep various factions in line to pass President Donald Trump's policy agenda.

Fox News host Lisa Kennedy Montgomery (also known as "Kennedy") recently committed a major on-air error, and is being roundly mocked for it on social media.

On Monday, Kennedy was criticizing California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) over his proposal to allow California voters to decide this November whether to get rid of the Golden State's independent redistricting commission. Newsom floated the idea in response to Texas Republicans carrying out a mid-decade redistricting plan aiming to strip Democrats of five seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.

The Trump administration appeared this week to decree that cities and towns that have an official policy of boycotting Israel will be denied disaster relief funding — but after sharp backlash, denied they had any such policy while quietly deleting any mention of it from the Department of Homeland Security website.

As reported by Reuters, a document issued by DHS specifically bars "discriminatory prohibited boycotts" alongside all of the usual Trump adminstration policies prohibiting diversity, equity, and inclusion, or DEI, policies, and specifically states: "Discriminatory prohibited boycott means refusing to deal, cutting commercial relations, or otherwise limiting commercial relations specifically with Israeli companies or with companies doing business in or with Israel or authorized by, licensed by, or organized under the laws of Israel to do business."

Another deep-red state is eyeing plans to redistrict amid a showdown in Texas, where Democrats made the stunning decision to flee the state to block Republicans from a mid-decade move to eliminate several Democratic-held seats.

Rep. Brian Harrison (R-TX), who represents the state's 10th district, joined MAGA firebrand Steve Bannon on his "War Room" podcast on Monday to talk about Texas' redistricting efforts. Earlier in the day, state Democrats fled to Illinois to prevent the state legislature from voting to pass the state's newly redrawn electoral maps.

President Donald Trump's political fortunes are eroding as the economic outlook crumbles, Nobel Prize-winning economist turned political commentator Paul Krugman wrote for his Substack on Monday — but that doesn't make him any less dangerous.

Rather, wrote Krugman, a frequent Trump critic, it means he will have to greatly accelerate his timeline for dismantling American democracy if he wants to avoid losing the power he's accumulating.
