With Donald Trump's endorsed candidate facing a potentially embarrassing primary Tuesday, some of the loudest voices in MAGA world are rooting for him to lose — and they're not whispering about it.

On Monday's edition of Steve Bannon's War Room, Bannon and Noel Fritsch — a conservative campaign consultant working for GOP Senate candidate Mark Lynch — gleefully torched Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on the eve of South Carolina's Republican primary, warning the four-term incumbent could fall below the 50% threshold required to avoid a runoff.

Government scientists are feeling pressure from political appointees to play down the safety risks for chemicals found in everyday consumer products, according to a new report.

Multiple current and former career employees at the Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention told CNN that supervisors pushed them to minimize the potential risk of chemicals that are being used in products already on shelves, and some veteran researchers said they've been pressured to make up absurd test scenarios to ensure the desired results

Tom Homan, President Donald Trump’s border czar, revealed Monday that he had issued a threatening warning to New York Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul about an impending operation planned for her state.

As reported by The Detroit News, Homan revealed on Fox News that the Trump administration had “drawn up a plan to surge” federal immigration enforcement agents to New York City in a continuation of Trump’s immigration crackdown. Homan claimed to have informed Hochul of the impending operation, albeit in a vague and threatening manner.

President Donald Trump has reached a critical juncture, writes geopolitical analyst and expert Trista Parsi, one that could result in either some de-escalation in the Middle East or an unprecedented disruption to global trade that could send oil prices to “well above $200 per barrel.”

Parsi’s analysis, detailed in a report published on his Substack Sunday night, comes after Iran and Israel exchanged strikes earlier that same day. On Monday, Trump publicly pleaded with Israel and Iran to stop fighting as his administration continues working toward a negotiated settlement with Tehran, though both nations have frequently defied the president’s wishes.

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) sparked widespread mockery Monday after both appeared on Newsmax to blame former President Joe Biden for the screwworm emergency now threatening Texas cattle — despite the Trump administration's own cuts to the very monitoring programs designed to stop the parasite.

Rollins, who oversees the federal response to the first confirmed U.S. screwworm infestation in decades, pointed the finger squarely at her predecessor. "I do think it's important to note that under the last administration, with the massive movement under the open borders policy, the cartels, et cetera, border security — that's when it began to make its way back up toward America," she said, adding that when she took office in February 2025, "obviously not much had been done to push back."

For years, Ramsey Elkholy had a simple business proposition.

The New York City modeling agent had a roster of young women and an eye for opportunity. Jeffrey Epstein was a well-connected financier with ties to Victoria's Secret, Vera Wang and the upper reaches of the fashion world. Elkholy would bring Epstein women, Epstein would help those women — and by extension, Elkholy — get work. Everyone, in theory, would benefit.

A Black man sits on death row in Mississippi, convicted by a jury of 11 white people and one Black juror — and now a Supreme Court justice says the far-right state court that keeps rejecting his appeals is applying a standard that is "almost certainly wrong."

Justice Sonia Sotomayor used a Supreme Court order Monday to rebuke the Mississippi Supreme Court over its handling of racial bias claims in the case of Tony Terrell Clark, a death row inmate whose lawyers say prosecutors systematically weeded out Black jurors at his trial.

A clerical error inadvertently revealed a campaign contribution to Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) that's now the subject of complaint with the Federal Election Commission.

The nonprofit Project On Government Oversight flagged a $250,000 contribution by the private prison contractor GEO Group to a super PAC aligned with Jordan less than two weeks after the lawmaker helped pass President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which provided funding to double the detention space for immigrant detainees.

Former Rep. Aaron Schock (R-IL), who in 2015 resigned amid scandal for defrauding taxpayers, is facing renewed scrutiny after being exposed for allegedly working on behalf of a foreign government in exchange for “an honest-to-god gold mine,” Politico reported Monday.

“No one around Schock could know whether the agreement was real. Like many things in Schock’s life, it could have been a gilded mirage distracting from a more complicated truth,” Politico’s report reads.

A joke has been making the rounds among House Republicans about Mike Johnson.

The GOP House speaker relies so heavily on President Donald Trump to whip votes and manage his fractious caucus that Trump is, for all practical purposes, running the House himself, the joke goes, but NOTUS reported that most members passing that quip along believe it's essentially true.
