Former President Barack Obama has a few choice words for businesses and institutions that caved to President Donald Trump's "deals" to end administration harassment, The Daily Beast reported on Monday.

Since taking office, Trump has made a variety of agreements and legal settlements with various entities that were subject to his wrath, as a condition of avoiding certain kinds of persecution from the administration.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy insisted that millions of demonstrators who take part in the peaceful No Kings protests are "part of antifa," which has been designated as a domestic terrorist organization by President Donald Trump.

Duffy made the remarks on Monday while complaining about air traffic controllers who call in sick during the government shutdown.

Moments after Donald Trump finished a more than hour-long speech before the Knesset in Jerusalem, MSNBC host Jonathan Lemire called it “rambling” — and the former president of the Council on Foreign Relations cast doubt on the president's Gaza peace plan.

Appearing on “Morning Joe,” Richard Haas claimed that declaring victory is one thing, but seeing it through and getting it to stick is unlikely.

The parents of a U.S. Marine in California were detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement last month while en route to visit their pregnant daughter. The father was deported Friday, NBC News reported.

Steve Rios, a U.S. Marine and resident of Oceanside, was traveling with his parents to Camp Pendleton to visit his sister who, along with her husband who’s also a U.S. Marine, is expecting her first child. The trio was stopped at the base’s entrance, however, when ICE agents detained Rios’ parents, who have no criminal history and have pending green card applications.

Coal miners feel betrayed by President Donald Trump for failing to enforce health regulations to prevent black lung disease.

Dozens of miners and their families will protest Tuesday outside the Labor Department building to call attention to the Trump administration's failure to enforce federal limits on carcinogenic silica dust, which has led to a recent spike in the disease among younger miners, reported the New York Times.

President Donald Trump has been employing a certain political two-step incessantly for years, conservative analyst David French wrote for the New York Times on Monday — and, ironically, it took a judge he appointed himself to stand up and unmask it.

"For a very long time, Trump and his supporters have gotten away with a double game. First, they’ll cheer anything and everything that makes him a thoroughly unconventional president — from his bizarre social media posts to his extreme use of executive power — as necessary, absolutely necessary, to save the country and drain the swamp," wrote French.

As bad as Attorney General Pam Bondi’s widely criticized performance before a Senate Oversight Committee appearance was last week, some underreported comments by Republican senators were even more alarming, wrote the New York Times’ Frank Bruni.

In his column on Monday, Bruni first called out Bondi for what he called spreading “bile” with her “sour expression and clipped expectorations,” but then swiftly turned to GOP senators who used their time to attempt to rewrite the history of Jan. 6 insurrection and take the blame off of Donald Trump.

President Donald Trump made a startling admission aboard Air Force One while en route to Israel, specifically about what he believes will happen to him once he dies.

Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked Trump a question regarding his past comment about wanting to end the war in Ukraine, in part, as a means to “get into heaven, if possible.”

Attorney General Pam Bondi’s surly performance before a Senate Oversight Committee last week provided a clue as to why Donald Trump has kept her around despite pressure from a very vocal faction of the disgruntled MAGA base.

That is the opinion of Salon’s Amanda Marcotte who, on Monday, compared Trump’s pick as the nation's top lawyer to Regina George, the queen bee of the popular film “Mean Girls” — and added, “the resemblance was too strong to be a coincidence.”

President Donald Trump was briefly silenced Monday as Israeli politicians yelled 'terrorist!" at him as he spoke to the nation's parliament.

The U.S. president has just received a standing ovation from members of the Knesset as he took his place behind the podium, but two left-wing politicians began shouting at him in protest as he praised his special envoy Steve Witkoff in a speech marking the end of Israel’s war on Gaza.

A number of high-ranking Israeli officials are openly defying President Donald Trump and his Gaza peace plan amid the president’s visit to Jerusalem on Monday, publicly rejecting key elements of his proposal on social media.

“Israel’s defense minister says the bombing will continue after they get their hostages back,” wrote British journalist and former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan in a social media post on Sunday. “Don’t say you weren’t warned.”

The U.S. Supreme Court seems almost certain to side with President Donald Trump in an upcoming challenge to his authority to fire government officials for any reason, but a leading conservative legal scholar sent a warning that could give the justices pause.

University of Virginia law professor Caleb Nelson, a leading originalist scholar whose work has been cited by all of the court's conservative members in more than a dozen opinions, published an article Sept. 29 for the Democracy Project that has sent shockwaves through the legal community, reported the New York Times.
