President Donald Trump raged at what he called "one of the great scams of our time" in a new Truth Social post on Tuesday.

Trump took aim at birthright citizenship in his post, which comes as the Supreme Court prepares to hear oral arguments on Wednesday in a case that could determine whether U.S. citizens will face hurdles to obtaining citizenship for newborns. The birthright citizenship precedent is more than a century old, and some legal experts have said the Trump administration faces a tall task in overturning it.

Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) is furious about new reporting that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sought out stocks related to defense just ahead of the Iran war, a red flag that he may have committed insider trading, and vowed on MS NOW's "Deadline: White House" that Democratic members of Congress will pursue an investigation.

The administration has already disputed the reporting, saying that Hegseth never reached out to BlackRock for financial information — but, anchor Nicolle Wallace noted, that's not even what the original story from the Financial Times alleged.

President Donald Trump put major insurers on notice in a threatening Truth Social post on Tuesday.

More than a year after the Eaton Fire ravaged the Los Angeles, California area, some homeowners report receiving insurance payouts that are significantly less than the value of the homes they lost. Similarly, some homeowners have reported receiving HOA fines and utility bills even though their properties do not exist.

President Donald Trump's administration tariff refund portal will process only 63 percent of 53 million import entries when it launches, according to a court filing.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection told the U.S. Court of International Trade the system cannot immediately handle refund claims for the remaining one-third of entries without providing a timeline for subsequent phases.

President Donald Trump's latest move to appease his administration's corporate donors sparked outrage on social media on Tuesday.

The Washington Post reported that the Trump Department of the Interior, led by Secretary Doug Burgum, voted to exempt oil and gas companies from existing rules under the Endangered Species Act when they are drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. A committee nicknamed the "God squad" met for the first time in roughly three decades on Tuesday to approve the exemption, in a meeting that lasted about 15 minutes, according to the report. Species such as Rice's whale are threatened with extinction because of the move.

The Supreme Court issued an ominous ruling for LGBTQ rights on Tuesday, siding with an anti-gay counselor in Colorado that the state's law against conversion "talk therapy" is a regulation on speech and therefore subject to strict scrutiny, ordering a lower court that upheld the law to re-examine it with a much harsher framework. However, liberal justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan joined in with the conservatives, surprising some observers.

Slate court-watcher Mark Joseph Stern believes they got it disastrously wrong — but has some speculation about why they ruled the way they did.

President Donald Trump is considering ending the Iran war without requiring the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has blocked since late February.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Trump and aides assessed that reopening the waterway would exceed his four to six-week timeline. Trump's strategy aims to disable Iran's navy and missile stocks, then pursue diplomatic pressure on Tehran to restore trade flow.

Republican hopes of unseating Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul took a brutal hit Tuesday after their candidate was denied up to $7 million in matching funds over a pair of filing blunders, leaving him vastly outgunned in an already uphill race.

The Public Campaign Finance Board voted 4-3 along party lines to deny Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman the funds after he failed to list a lieutenant governor on his December application and never updated his paperwork when he picked his running mate, The New York Times reported.

President Donald Trump lashed out at the National Trust after it successfully sued for a preliminary injunction that halted construction of his $400 million White House ballroom.

"The National Trust for Historic Preservation sues me for a Ballroom that is under budget, ahead of schedule, being built at no cost to the Taxpayer, and will be the finest Building of its kind anywhere in the World," the president complained in a Truth Social post on Tuesday. "I then get sued by them over the renovation of the dilapidated and structurally unsound former Kennedy Center, now, The Trump Kennedy Center... where all I am doing is fixing, cleaning, running, and 'sprucing up' a terribly maintained, for many years, Building, but a Building of potentially great importance."

Former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) made an eyebrow-raising claim on air with a far-right talk show host: the U.S. government is not only covering up the existence of extraterrestrials, but breeding them.

Gaetz told Benny Johnson that he received this information from an official briefing.

U.S. District Court Judge Richard J. Leon blocked President Donald Trump from further construction of his White House ballroom project.

In a three-page order on Tuesday, Leon granted a preliminary injunction requested by the National Trust for Historic Preservation of the United States.
