President Donald Trump's obsession with acquiring Greenland from Denmark appears to be blowing up in his face, The New York Times reported on Monday.

"His decision, announced this weekend, to send a high-powered U.S. delegation to the island, apparently uninvited, is already backfiring," wrote Jeffrey Gettleman and Maya Tekeli. "The administration tried to present it as a friendly trip, saying that Usha Vance, the wife of Vice President JD Vance, would attend a dogsled race this week with one of their sons and that Michael Waltz, the national security adviser, would tour an American military base."

A portrait of President Donald Trump hanging in the Colorado state capitol will be removed after he complained it was "purposefully distorted."

Artist Sarah Boardman painted the portrait during the first Trump term, and it was unveiled in 2019, The Associated Press reported. The Colorado Republican Party raised more than $10,000 on GoFundMe to commission an oil painting of Trump for the Capitol.

A combination of “sloppiness” and reckless disregard for the law led to the “emergency” situation created by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth sharing top-secret war plans in a Signal chat with other high-level Trump administration officials – and a reporter.

That’s according to Rep Jamie Raskin (D-MD), who made clear during a CNN interview hours after the bombshell report emerged that the development involving highly sensitive information being discussed freely via a messaging app violated the law.

GOP strategists are "secretly panicking" that tech billionaire Elon Musk is leading President Donald Trump down a path to electoral ruin, Ellie Quinlan Houghtaling wrote in an analysis for The New Republic published on Monday.

Polling has shown that even a lot of voters who like Trump are souring on Musk as he uses his Department of Government Efficiency initiative to force sweeping and often extralegal cuts to the civil service and vital government programs.

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has resigned, TIME Magazine reported Monday afternoon.

In an exclusive report, TIME noted, "DeJoy’s departure comes weeks after he struck an agreement to allow Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to help the agency cut costs and remove bureaucratic red tape."

A bombshell report in The Atlantic revealed that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth shared classified war plans in a Signal chat that included a reporter among its membership — and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had thoughts on the eye-popping report.

Taking to X on Monday, Clinton posted, "You have got to be kidding me."

Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on Monday delivered an expletive-laced reaction to reports that highly sensitive war plans were shared with a journalist who was somehow added to a Signal chat group of defense officials.

The colossal error was revealed by Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, who wrote Monday of his inadvertent inclusion in the messaging app where war plans about an imminent strike on Yemen were discussed among high-level Trump administration officials.

Fox News host Will Cain, a former colleague of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's "Fox & Friends" days, praised Trump administration officials after a journalist from The Atlantic accidentally received secret war plans against Yemen.

"If it was accidental, and we'll wait to see if this was accidental, it is incredibly concerning that this information would be shared over the Signal app with the journalist included," Cain acknowledged on his Monday show. "But the bigger takeaway for me is it's an insight, a transparent insight into the thought process and dialogue of our national leaders."

President Donald Trump has made “great progress” in his expanded attack on the federal judicial system only two months after returning to the Oval Office, according to The Atlantic’s Tom Nichols, who worried the assault could become the judiciary’s “last stand.”

Nichols, an anti-Trump conservative, began his latest opinion piece on Monday by telling readers that the president’s campaign against the rule of law “is already the most hostile and sustained political attack on America’s legal and law-enforcement institutions since the Civil War.”

A bombshell report in The Atlantic revealed that Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth shared classified war plans in a Signal chat that included a reporter among its membership. It's something that President Donald Trump's director of national intelligence had previously warned was unacceptable just days earlier.

The story reveals a Signal chat among top officials in President Donald Trump's Cabinet who discussed classified military strikes against the Houthis in Yemen.

Arizona voters may soon decide on whether to remove a controversial provision that gives immunity from speeding tickets to state lawmakers under certain circumstances, The Washington Post reported on Monday.

This comes after three separate incidents in which GOP lawmakers, including failed former Secretary of State candidate and state Sen. Mark Finchem, instructed law enforcement to exempt them from speeding tickets while the legislature was in session. Finchem, in particular, wrote a letter to a police chief saying, “Perhaps the officer is unaware of the law in this regard.”

Legal advocacy groups have issued a sharp rebuke to U.S. President Donald Trump's directive aimed at holding "accountable" law firms and lawyers that, according to him, "engage in frivolous, unreasonable, and vexatious litigation against the United States."

"Accountability is especially important when misconduct by lawyers and law firms threatens our national security, homeland security, public safety, or election integrity," Trump wrote in a memorandum to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi and U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, which was issued late Friday. Trump directed Bondi to "seek sanctions against attorneys and law firms" who engage in objectionable litigation, and scrutinize litigation against the government stretching back over the past eight years.
