President Donald Trump unloaded on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a curse-filled phone call Monday, blasting the Israeli leader over the country's escalating military campaign in Lebanon, according to a bombshell Axios report citing two U.S. officials and a third source briefed on the conversation.

"You're fucking crazy. You'd be in prison if it weren't for me. I'm saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this," Trump told Netanyahu, according to one U.S. official's summary of the remarks.

A spokesperson for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth caught heat from political analysts and observers on Monday after making a wild claim about the department's "transparency" on social media.

"This is the most transparent War Department in history. No amount of spin from the Fake News media will change that," Joel Valdez, the acting press secretary for DoD, posted on his official X account.

Former Brazilian model Amanda Ungaro made explosive claims about first lady Melania Trump over the weekend, tying her to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, according to a new report.

In a since-deleted post on X, Ungaro claimed that Melania Trump was one of Epstein's escorts, and that is how she was introduced to her husband, President Donald Trump, the Daily Beast reported. Ungaro shared a WhatsApp recording on X in which she accused her former partner, Paolo Zampolli, one of Trump's appointees to the Kennedy Center's Board of Trustees, of lying about introducing the Trumps in 1998, the report added.

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin had few words Monday for his loudest MAGA critic: "He's irrelevant to me."

Asked at a press conference about retired Border Patrol Commander-at-Large Gregory Bovino and "the criticism he's been leveling at the department," Mullin didn't blink. "I never met the guy. He's irrelevant to me. I don't know who he is," the secretary said, then moved on.

A long-time GOP analyst compared President Donald Trump's dying "anti-weaponization" fund to an iconic scene from the movie "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" during an interview on CNN.

Trump's fund was established as part of a settlement between the Trump Department of Justice and the IRS for a case involving Trump's leaked tax returns. The nearly $1.8 billion fund was designed to pay people who allege that they were wrongfully prosecuted by the federal government, and multiple of Trump's allies have said they plan to file claims seeking restitution.

The first day of Pride Month sent the hosts of The Charlie Kirk Show into a tailspin, with the two men warning that rainbow logos and a celebratory June are quietly steering America toward demographic collapse.

"It's a month that's turned into a celebration of degeneracy," declared co-host Andrew Kolvet, the show's executive producer, who complained he didn't want Pride "stuffed in my face and down my throat."

President Donald Trump's administration is planning to pull the plug on his $1.776 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund" to pay out people supposedly victimized by "lawfare" — a controversial plan that critics claimed was a slush fund to pay out money to Jan. 6 rioters and other allies of the president convicted of crimes.

According to Axios, White House officials are set to comply with a court order putting the fund on pause and don't have plans at this time to contest the court's action or try to resume it later.

Minnesota Republican Party Chair Alex Plechash refused Monday to say whether he supported a moment of silence for convicted murderer Derek Chauvin held at the GOP's state convention over the weekend — stonewalling a radio interviewer who pressed him three times and never got a straight answer.

When WCCO's Vineeta Sawkar asked Plechash point-blank if he agreed with delegates who believe Chauvin was wrongly convicted, he dodged. "I don't think I'm going to comment on that," he told her. "The court system had its verdict, and I'm not going to challenge the court."

President Donald Trump announced Monday that a key obstacle standing in the way of his administration’s negotiations with Tehran to end the U.S. war against Iran had apparently been addressed, potentially clearing the path to an end to the conflict.

“I had a very productive call with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, of Israel, and there will be no Troops going to Beirut, [Lebanon], and any Troops that are on their way, have already been turned back,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.

A federal appeals court on Monday blocked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's ban on transgender servicemembers, ruling the policy is driven by unconstitutional animus — and torching the government's legal strategy along the way.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit affirmed a preliminary injunction protecting currently serving troops from the Hegseth Policy — the February 2025 Pentagon directive implementing President Trump's executive order barring from service anyone with a history of gender dysphoria. The court vacated the injunction for prospective recruits.

President Donald Trump swept all seven main battleground states in the 2024 presidential election, but as the midterm elections draw closer, a number of his supporters in those states are starting to voice regret as the president’s deeply unpopular war against Iran continues to squeeze Americans’ pocketbooks.

“Last time I filled up [my tank with gas] I was like, ‘Oh, this hurts,’” said Adele Wilson, a 30-year-old Michigan resident and dental assistant, speaking with The New York Times in its report Monday.
