Vice President JD Vance was torched after he boasted online Monday about having endured a 90-minute training session with Navy SEALs, which journalist Edith Olmsted described as a “recent cosplaying adventure” in an op-ed published Tuesday in The New Republic.

“It’s not entirely clear what prompted Vance’s recent cosplaying adventure. Perhaps it has something to do with his recent presidential endorsement from Erika Kirk, a closely-held friend of the vice president,” Olmsted wrote.

Stephen Miller has been increasingly targeting the children of immigrants in the Trump administration's nationwide crackdown, according to a new report.

President Donald Trump's deputy White House chief of staff has been a driving force in the mass deportation campaign, and the New York Times reported that Miller believes that millions of immigrants in the U.S. take more than they give, which has been refuted over and over by economic data.

A Guardian report documenting the struggles of immigrant children forced to assume care giving responsibilities after their parents were detained by ICE prompted criticism from Katie Miller, wife of Donald Trump adviser Stephen Miller.

The article, published 10 days prior, highlighted how ICE arrests have removed parents who served as primary caretakers and wage earners, leaving teenagers to shoulder adult responsibilities in their absence. The headline stated, "US immigration crackdown forces teens to caretake after parents are detained."

Miller, a former Trump administration staffer who has since launched a podcast, responded on social media with, "They can also just self-deport and go with their parents. What kind of parent just abandons their children?"

Miller's comment drew backlash from social media users who noted her mischaracterization of the situation. Critics pointed out that many of the affected children are U.S. citizens born in the country, making self-deportation impossible for them regardless of their parents' circumstances.

X commenter Murray Wells pounced on the podcaster with, “Parents are just taken from streets and job sites. It’s kidnapping by ICE not abandonment by parents. They warned us about you.”

Conservative economist Stephen Moore, a former adviser to President Donald Trump, admitted that his wife returns from the grocery store "really angry" about food prices.

During a Tuesday appearance on "The Charlie Kirk Show," a viewer emailed in to complain about Moore's rosy view of the economy.

Emerald Robinson, a host on Mike Lindell's network, accused President Donald Trump of a "stain" on the presidency after she said he abandoned Jan. 6 rioters who were allegedly "beaten" during incarceration.

On Tuesday, Robinson began her show by claiming that Ryan Samsel "was arrested on totally trumped up charges on January the 6th."

Organizers of Turning Point USA's AmericaFest, held this past weekend in Phoenix, Arizona, hoped attendees would unite around a shared vision for the organization's future.

Instead, the event revealed significant internal discord and infighting, according to a report Tuesday.

In interviews with young conservatives who attended the gathering, the New York Times documented concerns about the organization's direction following founder Charlie Kirk's death. Multiple speakers spent considerable time attacking one another rather than presenting a cohesive message.

Andrew Gilbey, a 22-year-old student, expressed frustration about the fractured leadership: "Right now, we're just seeing hostility and division at the top, ... and it's trickling down to the lower half and to the grass roots. It's creating division instead of building a movement that keeps everyone together. I mean, what direction are we going in?"

New York Times reporter Nathan Taylor Pemberton noted that while dramatic confrontations unfolded on stage, the absence of Kirk—whom his widow Erika described as the organization's "peacemaker" in her opening remarks—has normalized disunity throughout the conservative coalition.

Phoenix resident Jack Oertle, 17, voiced similar concerns: "Things are just too fiery, and it's creating so much unrest and division. We don't need it. We've been watching Democrats tear each other apart for so long and now it's happening here."

A primary source of contention centers on white nationalist Nick Fuentes, whose prominence has created divisions extending beyond TPUSA and into the Heritage Foundation and among GOP lawmakers.

The controversy left some attendees dismayed. Laiken Combs, 22, stated, "I thought we were a party of free speech, so why are we attacking other podcasters for their viewpoints?"

Others took a harder stance. Corbin Wills, 25, an Arizona Christian University student, countered, "The party is going to fall to the wayside if we let these outspoken lunatics drive things."

President Donald Trump's administration will reportedly begin seizing wages from up to 5 million student loan borrowers who are behind on their payments.

On Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Education confirmed the plan to CNBC.
