The conviction rate inside U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro's Washington office has collapsed so badly that legal experts are calling it "embarrassing," according to a new CNN analysis published Monday.

More than two dozen investigators, former prosecutors, defense attorneys and other legal experts told CNN that Pirro's track record at the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia is "essentially unheard of in recent memory."

Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) spent nearly four times more taxpayer money than previously thought on travel to an out-of-state home that is quickly becoming a re-election liability despite his efforts to sell it.

The Trump administration is poised to unveil its new “economic D-Day” plan Monday afternoon as part of its latest ploy to force Iran into submission, but in doing so, is destined to trigger a “predictable, catastrophic reaction,” warned international security expert Robert Pape.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent revealed the plan Sunday in an op-ed published in the Financial Times, in which he revealed that the Trump administration was readying the “single greatest financial offensive ever marshalled against an adversary.” While specific details of the plan have yet to be revealed, its key component will be the use of secondary sanctions, which aim to harshly penalize any nation or entity that financially supports Iran.

The Washington Post has been ordered by an arbitrator to rehire a Black columnist who clashed with the Opinion page editor who abruptly left the paper just weeks ago.

According to a report from the New York Times, billionaire Jeff Bezos's news organization will rehire opinion columnist Karen Attiah, who was fired in September over her social media posts about the assassination of the conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The arbitrator also ordered the company to compensate her with back pay.

CNN's John Berman suggested "ominous music" should accompany the latest reporting on President Donald Trump's economy.

The Treasury Department could tap nearly $1 trillion in general accounts to fund an increased pace of government bond purchases, according to two senior agency officials, in a move that CNN global economic analyst Rana Foroohar called "a really big deal" with troubling implications.

President Donald Trump raged against Canada after trade talks broke down between the U.S. and its northern neighbor.

A professional lip reader decoded a heated exchange between President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump at Sunday's race, capturing the president reportedly saying he had "had enough."

President Donald Trump took to social media Monday to once again declare that Iran was “completely collapsing” following reports that Iranian state television broadcast a video targeting the president’s youngest son with a $10 million bounty.

“IRAN IS COMPLETELY COLLAPSING!!!” Trump wrote, unprompted, on his social media platform Truth Social.

Two longtime Washington, DC insiders could not contain their amazement that President Donald Trump is viewed favorably in only three states in the union.

On MS NOW’s “Morning Joe," co-host Joe Scarborough, a former GOP lawmaker, and Democratic strategist Jennifer Palmieri both called new polling from YouGov “staggering” when it came to the president’s collapse, particularly when it comes to red states.

A review of Natalie Harp's now-removed social media feed has uncovered years of posts showing extraordinary personal devotion to Donald Trump, predating her current role as a key White House aide.

A major donor to President Donald Trump is pleading with the commander in chief to get his “head in the game” and walk back his latest move that Zeteo’s Asawin Suebsaeng called “insanely stupid” and an “imperialistic disgrace.”

On Friday, trade talks between the United States and Canada imploded, leading Trump to impose a 50% tariff on a number of Canadian goods. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney vowed to match those tariffs “dollar for dollar.” Beyond the tit-for-tat tariffs, however, the Trump administration has gone scorched earth on its neighbor to the north.

A widening trust gap between Congress and the White House is coming to a head over budget director Russell Vought, who has spent his tenure testing the limits of executive control over federal spending — and is now facing pushback even from Republicans.

Since returning to government service to lead the Office of Management and Budget last year, Vought has used nearly every tool available to restrict the flow of federal dollars, from implementing DOGE's unilateral spending cuts and mass firings to arguing the president can impound congressionally appropriated funds despite the Impoundment Control Act's explicit prohibition, wrote MS NOW's Hayes Brown.

President Donald Trump takes a great deal of satisfaction when Republicans lose in elections that do not involve him.

That is according to the New York Times Maggie Haberman, who appeared on MS NOW’s “Morning Joe” on Monday to talk, in part, about why Donald Trump is waging a new trade war with Canada, which will put GOP lawmakers in a tough spot.
