President Donald Trump's Department of Justice is investigating disgraced former Republican Rep. George Santos of New York for insider trading on the prediction market Kalshi, according to a new report.

NPR reported, citing "three people with direct knowledge of his trades who were not authorized to speak publicly," that the probe began after Santos began posting on X about attending Trump's State of the Union address. At the time, bets were being placed on who would attend, according to the report, and Santos began spreading the narrative that he would be one of the guests. That narrative caused the odds for his attendance to skyrocket.

Former GOP operative Tim Miller took a moment on MS NOW's "Deadline: White House" to lay into President Donald Trump's move to replace outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard with his controversial housing finance administrator Bill Pulte — a man often called Trump's "attack dog," and, Miller pointed out, has absolutely no qualifications to coordinate national intelligence.

"I'm going to start with you because there's nothing for an intelligence person to say about this person," said anchor Nicolle Wallace. "This is a political hack ... what happens next?"

A GOP congressman who has been absent for more than three months issued a cryptic statement on Tuesday about his upcoming return to work.

Rep. Tom Kean (R-NJ) has not been seen in Washington, D.C., since early March, according to reports. In April, his office said he was dealing with a personal medical issue, and then told the New Jersey Globe in May that he would return to work "in a couple of weeks."

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) quietly deleted a post from X on Monday after it ignited a firestorm — including from members of his own party.

The since-deleted post, made on the second day of Pride Month, was blunt: "Homosexuality has no place in America. Happy Nuclear Family Month."

Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) clashed with Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin on Tuesday during a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing over what Van Hollen described as a "pattern" of mistruths from DHS.

Van Hollen challenged Mullin about previous statements former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem made about cases involving Kilmar Abrego-Garcia, an immigrant in Maryland who was wrongfully deported to El Salvador last year, and Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse who was shot and killed by immigration agents during a confrontation with Border Patrol agents amid protests in Minneapolis, Minnesota, this year. Van Hollen claimed there was a "pattern" of untruths offered by the previous DHS administration.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche dashed any remaining hopes that the Trump administration would move forward with its plan to create a $1.776 billion so-called "anti-weaponization" fund to pay claims to people who say they were wrongfully prosecuted by the government.

"We are not moving forward with the fund," Blanche told the House Appropriations Committee on Tuesday.

Patrick De Haan, a renowned oil industry analyst, had a dire warning for the American public on Tuesday as the Strait of Hormuz closure continues to pressure global oil supplies.

"Tomorrow, U.S. distillate inventories will likely fall under 100 million barrels for the first time in over 20 years, exacerbated by high exports due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz," he wrote in a post to X.

Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK) is threatening legal action against another man named Dan Sullivan who filed to run against him — accusing him of being a "ghost candidate" planted by Democrats to split the vote against him.

This comes as former Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola is launching her own Senate campaign, with polls suggesting a surprisingly competitive race in a GOP-favoring state that comfortably backed President Donald Trump three times.

On the second day of Pride Month, Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) posted a stark declaration to social media: "Homosexuality has no place in America. Happy Nuclear Family Month." The blowback was swift — and came from his own party.

Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) fired back directly: "Homosexuality exists. In America. In fact Andy, you have family, friends, neighbors, colleagues and constituents who are gay and lesbian. It doesn't make them less than or somehow unworthy of being an American. What an absolutely idiotic statement to make."
