President Donald Trump ratcheted up the pressure on Monday's peace negotiations between Israel and Hamas by threatening that "massive bloodshed will follow" if a deal is not struck soon.

"There have been very positive discussions with Hamas, and Countries from all over the World (Arab, Muslim, and everyone else) this weekend, to release the Hostages, end the War in Gaza but, more importantly, finally have long sought PEACE in the Middle East," Trump wrote on Truth Social on Sunday.

President Donald Trump issued a "striking" national security memo recently that would allow the administration to go after American citizens using the same tools the country uses to protect itself from foreign adversaries, according to one analyst.

Ryan Goodman, a national security expert and law professor at New York University, discussed the recent memo, called NSPM7, on a recent episode of "The Bulwark Live" with Bill Kristol, the outlet's editor-at-large. Goodman was visibly stunned as he recalled some of the impacts Trump's memo could have on American citizens.

President Donald Trump's announcement that he is contemplating spending $20 billion to bail out the Argentine soybean industry stunned some of his supporters at home, but a historian says the payment may serve an ulterior purpose.

Trump said last week that he is considering sending $20 billion to support Argentina's soybean economy, even as Republicans in Congress say Trump's tariffs are hurting American farmers. Some observers questioned the move because of Trump's close ties to Argentine President Javier Milei.

President Donald Trump repeated a debunked claim that one of his books warned the world about a former terrorist leader during the Navy 250 celebration on Sunday, which commemorated the 250th anniversary of the American Navy.

During his speech in Norfolk, Virginia, Trump referenced one of his books that called for former Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden to be "taken out" about a year before the September 11 attacks. Even though Trump said that he "can't tell you the name" of the book he referenced in the Sunday speech, he has made similar claims about his 2000 book, "The America We Deserve."

President Donald Trump wants Americans to think that the artificial intelligence videos he's posted on social media are just jokes, but they serve a much more nefarious purpose, according to one former Trump world insider.

Michael Cohen, the former attorney for the Trump Organization, argued in a recent Substack essay that Trump's AI-generated videos are actually "Molotov cocktails" meant to "fracture" the American public square. Cohen warned that Trump's strategy is to make America confused again, as polls show his efforts to make the country great again are falling flat among voters.

Department of Homeland Security agents were seen abandoning one attempt to arrest a man in Chicago over the weekend after being outnumbered by protesters. In at least one case, the Chicago Police Department was ordered not to assist federal agents swarmed by demonstrators, according to reports.

In videos circulated on Instagram, two masked agents could be seen trying to take a man into custody in the middle of a busy street.
