President Donald Trump made a series of inaccurate claims in his remarks on Tuesday, conflating World War I and World War II, incorrectly suggesting he spoke with the governor of California on Monday when it was just after midnight Saturday morning, and asserting—contrary to the First Amendment—that protests, even peaceful ones, can be shut down with “heavy force.”

During remarks to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump was asked when he last spoke with California Governor Gavin Newsom. “A day ago,” he said Tuesday afternoon, which was three and a half days after the governor confirmed his phone call. Trump also confirmed the call by sending a screenshot to a Fox News reporter. The screenshot read June 7, 1:23 AM.

A fiery spokesman for President Donald Trump took a profane victory lap on social media Tuesday evening as news broke that ABC News fired journalist Terry Moran following a controversial post in which he harshly criticized Trump and his deputy chief of staff, Stephen Miller.

In a since-deleted post on the platform X, Moran, a senior national correspondent, called Miller a "world-class hater."

Christy Walton, daughter-in-law of Walmart founder Sam Walton and part-heir to the Walmart fortune, placed a full-page ad in the New York Times urging Americans to attend the "No Kings Day" protests on June 14, and engage in civic discourse and speak to officials at town halls. Now MAGA fans are furious and calling for a boycott.

At no point did Walton name President Donald Trump in her ad, but she did talk about fighting dictators and abandoning American allies, Newsweek noted in a report.

President Donald Trump's deployment of the National Guard and hundreds of Marines to quell a Los Angeles protest against mass deportation has triggered a firestorm of controversy — but in the Senate, Republicans are right on board with him, said Joe Perticone in an analysis for The Bulwark.

"We surveyed a number of Senate Republicans about the idea of sending the army into LA and ... you may wanna sit down ... they're thrilled with it," Sam Stein wrote on X, prefacing the article.

A prominent House Democrat urged U.S. military members Tuesday afternoon to question any orders given by President Donald Trump as they pertain to their deployment to quell protests in Los Angeles.

Trump ordered the deployment of both National Guard troops and U.S. Marines to Los Angeles in recent days in response to heated protests against his administration’s immigration enforcement actions. The move came despite strong opposition from California’s state and local leaders.

President Donald Trump spoke to soldiers at the U.S. Army base Fort Bragg in North Carolina on Tuesday where he urged National Guard soldiers on the ground in California to boo the media and protesters.

Many who saw the video experienced a visceral reaction or expressed downright fear.

The Georgia Supreme Court ruled against the Republican-controlled State Election Board on Tuesday, saying that it didn't have the authority to usher in anti-voting restrictions last year.

The state’s highest court upheld a lower court ruling that temporarily blocked several rules passed by the board. Among the contreversial rules passed included one that required hand-counting of ballots. Another had voters provide a signature and ID at ballot boxes.

Under any other circumstances, Attorney General Pam Bondi would fall under the Justice Department’s disciplinary processes for her Friday news conference, wrote former federal prosecutor Harry Litman.

Bondi announced the return of Maryland immigrant Kilmar Ábrego García after he was sent to a prison in El Salvador. She then said that he would be promptly arrested and charged with federal crimes. She began citing allegations from "sources" that Ábrego García allegedly helped kill someone's mother and solicited explicit images of a minor. She said he trafficked guns, drugs, women and children.

President Donald Trump goaded U.S. Army troops into booing the free press Tuesday afternoon while cheering for Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.

During a speech in North Carolina, Trump noted that he had reversed the Biden administration's decision to change the name of Fort Bragg and other bases with names related to the Civil War.

U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem reportedly requested that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth grant law enforcement powers—including the authority to detain and arrest—to the thousands of military troops President Donald Trump deployed to Los Angeles to suppress anti-deportation protests. Such powers are typically barred under federal law, and experts warn the move marks another step toward the administration invoking the Insurrection Act.

In a memo, Secretary Noem alleged protestors included “invasive, violent, insurrectionist mobs that seek to protect invaders and military aged males belonging to identified foreign terrorist organizations, and who seek to prevent the deportation of criminal aliens,” as the San Francisco Chronicle first reported.

Senate Republicans are demanding that the House GOP revote on President Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," with a series of changes to allow it to comply with Senate rules — and it's caught many lawmakers in the lower chamber off guard, reported Politico on Tuesday.

"If the flagged items aren’t deleted, the bill won’t enjoy special party-line treatment in the Senate and the filibuster would be enforced for passage of the 'big, beautiful bill' Republicans want to enact this summer," said the report. "In response, House GOP leaders plan to tee up a vote this week to nix specific provisions the Senate parliamentarian has identified as rule violations."
