A GOP strategist turned anti-Trump activist on Monday slammed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's latest threat to a Democratic lawmaker over a social media video that circulated last week.

Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), a retired astronaut and former naval officer, appeared in a video with five other Democratic lawmakers last week, telling military troops that they do not have to obey illegal orders. The video was widely condemned by President Donald Trump and his MAGA base, with the president describing it as a "seditious act."

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt insisted that the United States "can't have" soldiers questioning whether orders are legal after Democrats pointed out that troops have a responsibility not to follow illegal orders.

During a Monday interview on Fox News, Leavitt said Democrats were giving "a wink and a nod to the 1.3 million active duty service members who serve in our United States armed forces and essentially encourage them to defy the orders of their commander-in-chief."

Bill Maher called out Lara Trump after she tried to deny that her father-in-law called a reporter "piggy."

During his Monday Club Random podcast, Maher told Lara Trump that some of President Donald Trump's rhetoric made it difficult for him to win over opponents.

Donald Trump’s decision to turn on Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), combined with outside influencers like podcaster Joe Rogan falling out of love with the president on a multitude of fronts, is set to cripple his agenda and eventually open him up to a wave of investigations.

A panel convened on MS NOW to discuss the fallout in the Greene--Trump MAGA alliance agreed that no one who has been strongly allied with the volatile president is immune to his wrath if they disagree with him in the slightest.

A prominent Republican senator broke with President Donald Trump after rebuking him on his proposal to issue Americans $2,000 checks, going as far as to compare him unfavorably with former President Barack Obama.

“Look, we can’t afford it. I wish we were in a position to return the American public their money, but we’re not,” Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) said, speaking on with Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo, according to Fox 8 on Monday.

At the same time that a judge in Maryland was dismissing cases filed by Donald Trump’s Department of Justice against former FBI director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, the president was picking another fight on Truth Social.

Now that long-time MAGA supporter Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is resigning in January after she clashed with Trump and he sicced his supporters on her, leading to death threats, the president is focusing his attention on Sen. Rand Paul, with Trump putting the Kentucky Republican’s title, “Senator,” in quotes.

President Donald Trump’s most loyal supporters erupted Monday following the news that two of the administration’s most high-profile criminal indictments were tossed out by a judge because the Trump-backed prosecutor had been unlawfully appointed.

“Judge dismissed both cases. I give up,” wrote X user “Detroit Brian 88,” a self-described pro-gun-rights, pro-police advocate who’s frequently shared content supportive of Trump and critical of the Democratic Party, and has amassed more than 4,000 followers.

Fox News legal analyst Jonathan Turley criticized Lindsey Halligan, President Donald Trump's illegally appointed prosecutor, after a judge dismissed two cases she brought against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James.

After United States District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie ruled that the indictments against Comey and James were invalid on Monday, Fox News host John Roberts noted that Attorney General Pam Bondi had issued a memo to declare that she had "ratified" the indictments in an attempt to insulate the charges in case Halligan was found to be illegally appointed.

A federal judge dismissed the charges against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James after finding President Donald Trump had unlawfully appointed the U.S. attorney who prosecuted them — and the administration instantly became a target for mockery.

Trump appointed former White House aide Lindsey Halligan as interim U.S. attorney despite having no prosecutorial experience, and U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie agreed with attorneys for two of Trump's political enemies and dismissed both cases.

President Donald Trump likes to claim Thanksgiving costs are down this year, but some holiday hosts are considering extraordinary measures to keep their meals under budget.

The president has claimed costs for this year's meal are down 25 percent, citing a misleadingly priced Thanksgiving meal basket listed online by Walmart, but the Washington Post reported on social media debates over the ethics of charging guests for their dinner.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's so-called Department of War threatened to court-martial Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) after he appeared in a video stating that U.S. troops have a constitutional duty to refuse illegal orders.

"The Department of War has received serious allegations of misconduct against Captain Mark Kelly, USN (Ret.). In accordance with the Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 U.S.C. § 688, and other applicable regulations, a thorough review of these allegations has been initiated to determine further actions, which may include recall to active duty for court-martial proceedings or administrative measures," the Department of Defense said in a statement on Monday.
