Right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones suggested that Israel may have played a part in the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner to influence American foreign policy.

During his Monday show, Jones noted that White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt had said that the war with Iran had been won as he was preparing for the broadcast.

After White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt used her Monday press conference to blame Democrats for a lone gunman attempting to crash the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday night. MS NOW reporter Laura Barrón-López pushed back with a list of physical threats President Donald Trump has made over the years.

Leavitt was presented with a question from a Fox News reporter, wondering what needs to be done to lower the political temperature after the unsuccessful assassination attempt.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Monday warned that the United States is being “humiliated” by Iran and risks getting trapped in a quagmire there like it did in Afghanistan and Iraq.

“The Iranians are clearly stronger than expected and the Americans clearly have no truly convincing strategy in the negotiations either,” Merz told students at the Carolus-Magnus-Gymnasium in Marsberg, North Rhine-Westphalia. “The problem with conflicts like this is always: You don’t just have to get in, you have to get out again. We saw that very painfully in Afghanistan for 20 years. We saw it in Iraq.”

Prominent conservative activist Brigitte Gabriel was hammered Monday after joining First Lady Melania Trump’s call for ABC to cancel comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s show – only for her past remarks to be immediately used against her.

“ABC must TAKE action against Jimmy Kimmel,” Gabriel wrote in a social media post Monday on X to her more than 1.4 million followers. “I stand with FLOTUS.”

President Donald Trump called on ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel to be fired after he joked about the commander-in-chief's death days before a gunman allegedly attempted to assassinate administration officials at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

"Wow, Jimmy Kimmel, who is in no way funny as attested to by his terrible Television Ratings, made a statement on his Show that is really shocking," Trump wrote Monday on Truth Social. "He showed a fake video of the First Lady, Melania, and our son, Barron, like they were actually sitting in his studio, listening to him speak, which they weren't, and never would be. He then stated, 'Our First Lady, Melania, is here. Look at Melania, so beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.'"

Vice President JD Vance has been questioning the Defense Department’s portrayal of the Iran war behind the scenes, according to a new report.

Two senior administration officials told The Atlantic that Vance has cast doubt on the accuracy of information about the war provided by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but sources say he has tried to be careful about expressing those concerns.

One of President Donald Trump’s closest allies, U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro, has had a recent string of “repeated failures” in securing indictments against the president’s political enemies, but those very “failures,” argued MS NOW producer Steve Benen, could ultimately elevate her to the nation’s top law enforcement post.

Pirro’s latest “humiliating failure,” Benen wrote in a report published Monday, came after the Justice Department dropped its criminal probe into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, whom Trump relentlessly attacked for refusing to lower interest rates to his liking, despite the decision not being entirely Powell’s to make.

The U.S. Supreme Court could soon be put on the spot if lawmakers challenge President Donald Trump's war against Iran.

The president's war with Iran is most likely illegal under the War Powers Act, argued Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the University of California, Berkeley, law school in an op-ed for the New York Times, and he said it will be plainly unlawful by the end of this week.

RNC National Committeewoman Patti Lyman called on Steve Bannon's War Room "posse" to ask God to prevent Virginia's new district maps from being used for the midterm elections.

As the Virginia Supreme Court was hearing oral arguments on the new district maps, Lyman predicted a ruling would come in the next few days.

On Monday, former MSNBC host Katie Phang filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia asking the court to compel acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to release the entire Jeffrey Epstein files.

According to Phang, a former prosecutor turned legal analyst at MSNBC (now MS NOW) the DOJ has illegally withheld files and has redacted documents that have been released, denying journalists the ability to delve more deeply into the disgraced felon's contacts and financial ties.

First Lady Melania Trump erupted at comedian Jimmy Kimmel Monday for spreading what she called “hate” – and was promptly told by one prominent political commentator to “walk across the hall” and “start” her crusade against “hate” by speaking with her husband, President Donald Trump.

Last week, Kimmel jokingly referred to Mrs. Trump as an “expectant widow,” a clip of which resurfaced in the wake of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting on Saturday, the suspect of which reportedly penned a manifesto that named Trump as a target.
