After giving a rah-rah speech about the US war on Iran, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was put on the spot by a reporter from the Daily Caller to reassure his MAGA base with rumors of a possible land invasion hanging in the air.

Toward the end of his Pentagon press conference, Hegseth was asked by conservative journalist Reagan Reese about the chokehold on oil at the Strait of Hormuz before being pressed with, “Without asking you to comment on things that you can't talk about, what is your message to Americans who love the president and strongly believe in him, but are very worried about this notion of boots on the ground?”

With the Supreme Court set to hear arguments on Wednesday about President Donald Trump's executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship guaranteed under the 14th Amendment's citizenship clause, “Morning Joe” co-host Joe Scarborough challenged far-right Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to stand up for constitutional precedent.

Speaking with California Attorney General Rob Bonta, who is challenging Trump administration efforts to strip citizenship from those born in the US, Scarborough noted that there should be no question about the clear language in the amendment which has been debated previously.

Comments made by Secretary of State Marco Rubio about the future relationship between the US and NATO that hint at a break with the peace-keeping coalition received a thorough –– and critical –– examination on MS NOW early Tuesday morning.

In an interview with Hashem Ahelbarra of Al Jazeera, the Donald Trump appointee criticized the NATO alliance for not backing the US war on Iran, and then stated, “I think it was very disappointing. You have this – and again, look, the President and our country will have to reexamine all of this after this operation is over. But one of the reasons why NATO is beneficial to the United States is it gives us basing rights for contingencies. It allows us to station troops and aircraft and weapons in parts of the world that we wouldn’t normally have bases, and that includes in much of Europe.”

President Donald Trump erupted at the United Kingdom Tuesday morning over its refusal to join the United States in its war against Iran, issuing the European nation a notice that the United States would no longer be offering it “help.”

“All of those countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you: Number 1, buy from the U.S., we have plenty, and Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.

Reacting to a Politico report that group of Jan. 6 insurrectionists have filed a lawsuit in Florida against the Capitol police officers they assaulted in Donald Trump’s name, “Morning Joe” co-host Joe Scarborough went on a furious rant on Tuesday morning that concluded with a long, drawn-out obscenity.

After co-host Mika Brzezinski noted the lawsuit seeks to “represent a class of plaintiffs that includes dozens of others present that day” who stormed the hall of Congress, the outraged Scarborough exploded.

President Donald Trump's administration just crossed a "tipping point" where other authoritarian regimes have failed, according to one expert.

Over the weekend, more than eight million people participated in the nationwide "No Kings" protest, one of the largest public demonstrations in U.S. history. The total number of demonstrators who attended the protests represents about 2.5% of the nation's population, which signaled to David Rothkopf, the former editor of Foreign Policy Magazine, that the Trump administration has reached the point of no return.

President Donald Trump's decision on Monday to share an AI-generated video of his presidential library in Miami caused a firestorm on social media.

Trump posted a video on Truth Social depicting his presidential library soaring above the Miami skyline. The building is decked out with a gold-plated entryway, a garden terrace with water features overlooking the city, and videos of Trump playing on the side of the building.

An expert was appalled on Monday after President Donald Trump told one of his aides that he is considering ending the war in Iran without requiring the Strait of Hormuz to be reopened.

The Iranian regime has effectively blocked access to the Strait of Hormuz to U.S. and Israeli ships since the war in Iran began in late February. The waterway accounts for 20% of the global energy trade, and the move caused energy prices to skyrocket in the U.S.

President Donald Trump has quietly retreated from his bombastic vow to choke off Cuba's oil supply, allowing a Russian tanker to deliver crude to the island and signaling the administration may let other shipments through, too.

The about-face, reported by The New York Times on Monday, comes after months of Trump threatening to take over Cuba entirely and declaring in January: "THERE WILL BE NO MORE OIL OR MONEY GOING TO CUBA — ZERO!"

Political analysts and observers were aghast on Monday after a new report revealed that President Donald Trump's Defense Secretary has reached a new "height of criminality."

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's stockbroker looked into purchasing a defense-related fund ahead of the Trump administration launching its self-described "excursion" in Iran, the Financial Times reported, citing "three people familiar with the matter."
