A culture war conservative got an abrupt fact check on foreign policy from President Donald Trump's former ambassador to the European Union.

Anti-trans crusader Terry Schilling appeared Tuesday on "CNN This Morning," where he joined a panel discussion on the U.S. president's reportedly profane confrontation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the bombing campaign in Lebanon, and he argued that Trump was facing pressure to end his war in Iran.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) is “practically begging” the White House to abandon President Donald Trump’s “fixation on personal projects,” with one in particular “growing more toxic” and potentially jeopardizing a key priority for Republicans as the midterm elections draw near, Punchbowl News reported Tuesday.

Republican lawmakers are hoping to pass a reconciliation bill this week to fully fund federal immigration enforcement agencies, but Trump’s continued support for his $1.7 billion taxpayer-funded “anti-weaponization fund” – established to award payouts to his supporters who claim to have been unfairly targeted by the Biden administration’s Justice Department, including violent Jan. 6 Capitol rioters – risks sinking the legislation entirely.

In the aftermath of the explosive first meeting between the remaining "60 Minutes” staffers and new Bari Weiss hand-picked executive producer Nick Bilton, executives at CBS News are picking through the rubble of the very public spectacle of a news organization in crisis.

According to media watchdog Status, during the brief 15-minute Monday meeting, noted 60 Minutes co-host Scott Pelley raked Bilton over the coals as Pelley pointed out that his boss, Weiss, has "no qualifications for her job" and added that Bilton has “slender qualifications for this job."

The former adviser to Donald Trump appeared Monday night on Fox News, where she demanded that Democrats disavow Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, who reportedly sent sexually explicit messages to other women while married and has faced blowback for a Nazi tattoo he got while serving in the military, and she compared him to former Ku Klux Klan leader and Republican legislator David Duke.

"They're not uncomfortable enough," Conway told host Sean Hannity. "Remember, everybody who's a Republican anywhere had to disclaim David Duke, even if we never met him, had a meal with him, agreed with anything he said. I want every single Democrat who's running as a United States Senate candidate this year to step away from this guy, to tell him to get off the ticket."

Republican House Rep. Tom Kean of New Jersey thanked President Donald Trump on Monday for his endorsement ahead of the GOP primary election on Tuesday, but critics – including his Democratic opponent – were quick to remind the lawmaker that he’s not been seen on the House floor for nearly 90 days.

“Kean hasn’t voted in the House or appeared in public in months, yet he’s being endorsed for re-election by Trump,” wrote John Bresnahan, co-founder of Punchbowl News, in a social media post on X Monday night.

Just after 1 a.m. EST, Donald Trump took to his Truth Social account to demand that his civil and criminal case court losses in New York be tossed based on comments made by his former lawyer during a Monday podcast.

During an appearance on Michael Smerconish’s podcast, so-called Trump “fixer” Michael Cohen, who was the middleman in paying off adult film star Stormy Daniels and subsequently served time in jail, complained about being “cancelled by both the far-right and the far-left."

Gregory Bovino, the former leader of President Donald Trump's Customs and Border Protection force, lashed out at a MAGA Trump official on Monday after he received a stinging rebuke.

Earlier in the day, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin was asked about Bovino's recent criticisms of how he's managing the department, amid protests outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in New Jersey. Mullin claimed he didn't know who Bovino was and, even if he did, his comments were "irrelevant."

President Donald Trump attacked several of his political foes, whom he called "corrupt and irrelevant," in a raving late-night posting spree on Truth Social.

Trump is routinely up late at night posting images of himself or firing off long-winded attacks against his political enemies. In the past, he's posted an AI-generated image of himself as Jesus Christ healing a sick man in bed, threatened to wipe out the Iranian civilization, and reposted multiple conspiracy theories about how the 2020 general election was allegedly stolen from him, even though his lawyers couldn't prove that point in more than 60 cases.

MS NOW's Rachel Maddow kicked off Monday night's broadcast with a devastating round of mockery for President Donald Trump's recent celebrations to himself.

She set the scene by covering an episode she had already reported on in Philadelphia, where the Trump administration tried to take down memorials to enslaved people at the President's House, only for locals to sue and stop him — but then the National Park Service only restored half the memorials, leaving the entire site looking obviously unfinished.

Kellyanne Conway, a former advisor to President Donald Trump, made a bizarre remark on Monday during a new interview on Fox News.

Conway joined Fox News's Sean Hannity on his eponymous show, where they discussed the contentious Senate race in Maine, where Democratic candidate Graham Platner is seeking to unseat incumbent Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME). During the interview, Conway demanded that Democrats disown Platner because of his extreme views, something she said they once used to cause a divide between Republicans and a high-profile extremist.

Pro-Trump influencers have all suddenly started waging war on Harley-Davidson motorcycles — and it's clearly not an organic movement, Will Sommer wrote for The Bulwark in an analysis published on Monday.

This week, he wrote, "has seen wave after wave of MAGA personalities and meme accounts decide, seemingly out of nowhere, that Harley-Davidson was company non grata." For example, he noted, "MAGA influencer Priya Patel declared the manufacturer 'fundamentally anti-American,' while Hercules actor-turned-tweeter Kevin Sorbo said his friends were abandoning Harley-Davidson en masse." Even Nick Adams, a Trump envoy, boosted the campaign.
