The famed campaign mastermind schooled Trump with a basic history lesson — then challenged him to a face-to-face debate.

Donald Trump’s Iran problem is not going away and maybe worsening, and he can thank the only three people who seem to have his ear, according to the panel on MS NOW’s “Morning Joe.”

With the Strait of Hormuz still caught up in a stranglehold as a result of the president’s unprovoked war on the Middle Eastern nation, Trump has been fuming at the current state of affairs that is costing him MAGA support and has an increasing number of GOP lawmakers looking for a way to rein him in.

A former staffer to President Donald Trump sighed heavily when discussing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's latest moved aimed at consolidating power within the U.S. military.

The Pentagon abruptly announced that Navy Secretary John Phelan, a businessman and major Trump donor who lives near Mar-a-Lago, would be leaving his job effective immediately, and former White House communications director Mike Dubke told "CNN This Morning" that he had mixed feelings about the move coming as U.S. forces enforce a naval blockade against Iran.

President Donald Trump has all the impulses of a fascist autocrat — but there's a key weakness that stands in the way of achieving his goals of reshaping the nation, historian and professor Timothy Snyder told The Daily Beast.

Specifically, he argued, Trump and his inner circle are just too greedy and distracted by their personal wealth ambitions to make the long-term decisions that would help them achieve ideological goals.

With three Cabinet members ousted by Donald Trump since March 5, a handful of Republican senators are growing anxious for several reasons that the firing hammer is about to drop on more, in part because the president is in a “bad mood” with his administration flailing.

According to a report from Politico’s Jordain Carney, four GOP lawmakers are anticipating a purge in part because the midterms are coming up and, should the GOP lose control of the Senate, confirmation hearings under a Democratic majority would be problematic at best.

Republicans are in a state of "buyers' remorse" after President Donald Trump's demands for them to redraw congressional districts to give themselves extra seats backfired.

According to Axios, "What began as an effort to create more GOP-controlled seats — and avoid a Democratic takeover that would weaken President Trump — now could be a wash, or even add to Democrats' edge. At Trump's request, Republicans kicked off the unusual mid-decade redistricting push in Texas. But that effort triggered counter-moves in Democrat-led California and Virginia, where voters on Tuesday approved a new map that could leave the GOP with just one seat, down from five."

Republicans plan to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection through a strictly partisan budget process this week, prompting Democrats to warn that the strategy will establish a dangerous precedent that both parties may exploit in future administrations.

The GOP aims to adopt a budget resolution as soon as Thursday that would allow them to bypass the Senate filibuster and pass immigration enforcement funding through reconciliation — a fast-track process traditionally reserved for tax measures, reported MS NOW. The plan sets a June 1 deadline for final passage, coinciding with President Donald Trump's directive.

CNN host Abby Phillip noted on Wednesday that President Donald Trump's administration has entered an "extraordinary" moment as his base begins to turn against him over a new conspiracy theory.

Over the last week, Trump's MAGA base has begun to speculate that the assassination attempt against the president's life in Butler, Pennsylvania, in 2024 may have been staged. That happened at a time when the Trump administration is facing significant criticism for its handling of the war in Iran and its collateral impact on the American economy.

Close to half of the children in the United States—more than 33 million kids—live in counties with dangerously high levels of toxic air pollution, according to the American Lung Association’s annual air quality report out Wednesday.

The 27th iteration of the ALA’s report examines “two of the most widespread and dangerous air pollutants”—fine particles and ground-level ozone, commonly known as smog—and assigns grades to counties and cities based on pollution levels, both daily and annually. In what the report describes as a “grim indication of the deterioration of air quality nationwide,” just one city—Bangor, Maine—was “ranked on all three cleanest-cities lists by earning an ‘A’ for ozone and short-term particle pollution and being listed among the 25 cities with the lowest year-round particle levels.”

A GOP strategist panned the reportedly negotiated bailout for the ailing airline Spirit Airlines by President Donald Trump's administration during a CNN segment.

Shermichael Singleton, a GOP strategist, argued on CNN's "NewsNight" with host Abby Phillip that the $500 million bailout that Spirit and the Trump administration have been negotiating behind-the-scenes is a bad use of taxpayer money. The deal would include the U.S. government taking a stake in the company, which caused some of Trump's Republican colleagues to decry the president for spreading socialism.
