The Trump administration sent Tehran its proposal last week to end the U.S. war against Iran, and days later on Sunday, finally received a response – one that President Donald Trump rejected out of hand, and on Monday, made the startling admission that he hadn’t read it in its entirety.

Taking questions from reporters in the Oval Office Monday, Trump was asked about the state of the ongoing ceasefire between the United States and Iran, one that began in early April but has seen continued hostilities between the two nations.

Despite spending nearly $1 trillion on its military in 2025, the United States has failed to achieve its stated objectives in the war against Iran, which spent just $7.4 billion on defense last year – roughly 130 times less than Washington – and CNN host Fareed Zakaria offered a novel theory on Monday for why that may be the case.

“President Donald Trump decided to play a game of ‘chicken’ with Iran – think of two drivers racing straight at each other. In these situations, if the stakes for one side are existential and for the other much lower, the side with the higher stakes usually prevails,” Zakaria wrote in an op-ed published recently in The Washington Post.

President Donald Trump complained that his name was not used to promote moms.gov, a new government website focusing on maternal health.

Trump announced the new website at a White House event on Monday.

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller's grip on Trump administration policy is reportedly slipping as the president keeps his most ideologically rigid advisor at arm's length — a shift that coincides with a dramatic pullback in aggressive ICE enforcement and the sidelining of Miller by new DHS leadership.

According to reporting from The Atlantic, Miller's "waning influence" is no coincidence. The controversial activities of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement have fallen from the front pages as the agency retrenches following the firing of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and Miller's marginalization within the administration's immigration policy apparatus.

The pro-MAGA Real America's Voice network celebrated women for Mother's Day by calling for male "providers" and "protectors."

During a Monday segment about Mother's Day, host Gina Loudon spoke to Kimberly Fletcher, CEO of Moms for America, a conservative organization.

Even one of President Donald Trump's most reliable defenders at Fox News appears to be losing the faith over the administration's Iran strategy.

Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade openly questioned Monday whether Trump grasps who is actually steering Iran's side of the talks — a day after the president torpedoed Tehran's latest counterproposal.

President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing this week for a high-stakes summit – viewed by some as a “de facto deadline for stabilizing the Iran war” – but not only will Trump now likely show up to the summit “empty-handed,” the president’s efforts were severely undercut just days or hours before his expected departure.

The Trump administration has been working to secure a deal to bring about the end of the U.S. war against Iran since at least early April, but thus far has been unable to reach an agreement with Tehran. Iranian officials were given a new proposal from the Trump administration last week, which Tehran responded to with a proposal of their own on Sunday – a proposal that was quickly rejected by Trump as “unacceptable.”

A new poll reveals a striking erosion of public trust in the authenticity of alleged assassination attempts against Donald Trump, with nearly 55 percent of Americans expressing skepticism about whether the latest incident was on the up and up, revealing a crisis of credibility fueled by conspiracy theories, political polarization, and the president's reality-TV governance style.

According to a Washington Post report citing a NewsGuard survey, roughly one in three Democratic respondents said they believed the April incident at the White House Correspondents' Dinner was staged, compared with about one in eight Republicans. Young adults aged 18-29 were also significantly more likely than older Americans to doubt the incident's authenticity.

White House adviser Stephen Miller's romantic history at Duke University tells a starkly different story than the one he promotes today as a hardline immigration hawk.

During his time as a political science student, Miller reportedly dated an attractive light-skinned conservative Latina woman, though according to accounts from their dormmates, the relationship was notably one-sided.

The Washington Post, already buffeted by a massive exodus of subscribers dating back to when Jeff Bezos pulled the plug on a 2024 endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris to be president, attempted to stop the bleeding with a YouTube podcast that has failed miserably, according to media watchdog Status.

On Sunday night, Natalie Korach of Status reported that the struggling Post, which has undergone massive turnover due to departures by top reporters and columnists, followed by substantial layoffs, went to the expense of creating a podcast studio for members of the remaining editorial board to broadcast their takes on the topics of the day.
