J.D. Vance earned mockery this week from a former Republican lawmaker as the vice president tried to salvage the second lady's cultural trip to Greenland by refashioning it as a national security visit.

Peter Navarro, a counselor to President Donald Trump, clashed with CNN's Kasie Hunt on Thursday after he attempted to claim that American automakers weren't really American.

The Canadian Prime Minister and the Canadian people are expressing anger and frustration with Donald Trump, following months of attacks, and now threatened as well as actual double-digit and even triple-digit tariffs, by the U.S. President on America’s northern neighbor—one of its oldest and closest allies, both economically and geographically.

Canada’s new Prime Minister, liberal Mark Carney, has been in office for nearly two weeks but has yet to speak with President Trump. He did, however, deliver a speech on Thursday announcing that the U.S is “no longer a reliable partner”—and that the “old” Canadian-U.S. relationship has ended.

Longtime MAGA disciple Steve Bannon launched a furious tirade on his "War Room" show Thursday evening after U.S. District Judge James Boasberg ordered President Donald Trump to preserve all records from the burgeoning "Signalgate" scandal.

In Bannon's view, this is a red alert for Republicans to start cracking down and stripping the federal judiciary of its independence — because, he believes, if Democrats win their way back into power over the next couple of years, Trump's track record of dodging prison time for his criminal charges will run out.

After days of spinning the Signal group chat fiasco embroiling the Trump administration this week, Fox News host Will Cain on Thursday turned the tables on the Cabinet officials involved in the colossal national security error, including his former TV colleague Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Cain on his show Thursday walked viewers through "unanswered questions" still lingering in the aftermath of The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg’s bombshell report, including asking viewers what “ethical obligation” the journalist had in the ordeal.

President Donald Trump is desperate to talk about anything other than the exploding Signalgate controversy, CNN's Kasie Hunt reported on Thursday afternoon — even as his own party and supporters begin to ask tough questions of him.

"There are new questions in the defense and intelligence community about Defense Secretary Pete Hegsth's judgment, after he put incredibly detailed information about strikes in Yemen into a group chat," said Hunt, who added that sources are telling her, "The egregious actor here is Hegsath." They added, "He's in the bullseye now because he put all this out there on a signal chat."

Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) is facing an investigation from the House Ethics Committee, Politico reported on Thursday.

A new report released by the Office of Congressional Conduct detailed “substantial reason to believe that Rep. Mills may have entered into, held, or enjoyed contracts with federal agencies while serving in Congress.”

The stark images of caged undocumented immigrants stacked on top of bunks while U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem toured an El Salvadoran megaprison conjure up a grim reality of where the country is headed.

That’s according to Bulwark editor Jonathan V. Last, who told readers that propaganda images such as the ones manufactured by Noem on Wednesday have been seen before, “just not from America.”

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was eager to help President Donald Trump with his immigrant purge, passing laws at the state level to clear the workforce of unauthorized noncitizen labor — and its resulted in critical shortages in industries like construction and agriculture.

But Republicans in the state think they have the answer, wrote Ja'han Jones in an analysis for MSNBC — replace those workers with children.

A growing list of bar associations and legal groups are willing to fight back against President Donald Trump and the Republican Party's attempts to punish judges with whom they disagree and target law firms.

"We support the right of people to advance their interests in courts of law when they have been wronged. We reject the notion that the U.S. government can punish lawyers and law firms who represent certain clients or punish judges who rule certain ways. We cannot accept government actions that seek to twist the scales of justice in this manner," said a letter signed by more than 60 groups on the American Bar Association's website.

Historian Eric Rauchway does not think much of President Donald Trump's plans to make America rich beyond its wildest dreams by leveling tariffs against imported goods that will be end up being paid by American consumers.

Speaking with Aaron Rupar's blog Public Notice, the University of California, Davis historian outlined what Rupar described as the "hopeless confusion" of Trump's policies.

The federal judge who ordered the Trump administration to turn around planes carrying migrants being deported ordered the president's team to preserve all communications over four days stemming from the group chat scandal involving top Cabinet officials, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and National Security Adviser Mike Waltz.

Judge James Boasberg issued what he called a "compromise order," MSNBC legal contributor and Just Security fellow Adam Klasfeld wrote on X. The Trump administration defendants in the lawsuit were ordered to preserve all Signal communications between March 11 and March 15.

After months of stalling, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) is now no longer being considered for the role of United Nations ambassador, after President Donald Trump suddenly withdrew the nomination on Thursday.

Semafor reporter Burgess Everett confirmed that Stefanik's nomination was pulled, and that the White House notified Sen. Jim Risch (R-Idaho), who chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, that the New York Republican will be remaining in her House of Representatives seat. NOTUS reporter Reese Gorman tweeted that Stefanik — who was previously the chair of the House Republican Conference — "gave up her leadership position" after Trump nominated her, and that she will return to the House "as a rank-and-file member."
