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.

Journalist Anne Applebaum has noticed an odd international political alliance forming between far-right nationalists and traditionally left-wing wellness warriors who share a mutual loathing of the principles of the Enlightenment.

Writing in The Atlantic, Applebaum uses the recent example of Călin Georgescu, the Romanian presidential candidate who seems to have gamed TikTok algorithms to nearly make himself the president.

Meta tech tycoon Mark Zuckerberg was raked over the coals as a "surrender monkey" by The Bulwark's Jonathan Last on Tuesday over his new spate of changes at his company that appear directly calculated to ingratiate himself to President-elect Donald Trump.

This comes after Zuckerberg paid a visit to Trump's estate at Mar-a-Lago, and as a number of tech billionaires are under fire — even from some Trump supporters — as their companies give millions to fund Trump's inauguration festivities.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) voiced his support of President-elect Donald Trump's suggestion to use military force to regain control of the Panama Canal while speaking to Fox Business host Larry Kudlow on Tuesday.

Tuberville has long complained that China has a growing influence over the canal and that ISIS was sneaking into the United States through an unsecured border by making their way from the Middle East to Panama and then heading north to the United States.

Donald Trump could be setting up congressional Republicans for an early failure by going for a big legislative victory right out of the gate.

The president-elect is pushing for one "powerful" reconciliation bill combining his biggest priorities to make sweeping changes to fiscal policy by using special rules regarding economic legislation that requires only half the Senate's approval and would not be subject to a Democratic filibuster, but Washington Post analyst Aaron Blake is doubting its passage.

President-elect Donald Trump continues to be fascinated by Greenland, which he thinks the United States should acquire from Denmark. This week, Trump sent his son, Donald Trump Jr., along with far-right activist Charlie Kirk, to visit the island off the coast of Canada.

Speaking to MSNBC on Tuesday, Democratic strategist Richard Goodstein said that this likely reminds foreign leaders of Trump's ignorance of foreign affairs.

Two bodies were found inside the landing gear well of a JetBlue aircraft that flew to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Airport in Florida from New York's JFK Airport, The New York Times reported.

The two bodies "were discovered during a routine post-flight maintenance assessment of the plane, the airline said. Paramedics pronounced the two people dead at the scene, according to the Broward County Sheriff’s Office. It was unclear how long the people had been in the landing gear compartment," reported Ali Watkins.

A new report from the Department of Justice's inspector general shows that three of Donald Trump's officials may have worked to influence the 2020 election from their posts in the department.

Top officials at Trump's Justice Department may have tried to influence the election by pressing investigations into Democratic governors and then leaking private details about those investigations to right-wing news, ABC News reported Tuesday.
