President Donald Trump fielded questions about his administration’s ongoing siege on Iran for about 30 minutes on Monday, and one of his remarks was flagged Tuesday by former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan as particularly telling.

In his opening remarks, Trump provided an explanation as to the timing of the joint U.S.-Israel attack on Iran, which, according to a human rights group, resulted in more than 1,000 civilian deaths only four days into the operation.

An attempt by former Donald Trump lawyer Alina Habba to take a dig at 2024 Democratic presidential candidate fell flat when she managed to screw up the late Jesse Jackson’s name.

Habba, who was booted from her appointment by Donald Trump to be a US attorney in New Jersey, appeared on Newsmax and attempted to criticize Harris over her eulogy at the civil rights legend’s funeral, and instead name-dropped New York Yankees and Oakland A’s Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson instead.

President Donald Trump is making Democratic strategists' jobs easier and creating a major headache for Republicans seeking election this November, according to a report Tuesday.

Just two weeks ago, the 79-year-old president framed his party's message around his economic record — specifically touting $2.30 gasoline in most states — but his decision to join Israel in war against Iran threatens to undermine that pitch to voters as surging oil prices provoked pain at the pump, reported the Washington Post.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio was singled out on MS NOW on Tuesday morning for spending more time hyping up US military members and not doing his job and bringing the war on Iran to a halt.

During an appearance on “Morning Joe,” retired United States Army Lieutenant General Mark Hertling was asked by co-host Joe Scarborough if Donald Trump’s war can be considered a success so far.

President Donald Trump was hammered by two of his own officials after making “one of the biggest tactical miscalculations since the bombing of Iran began,” Axios reported on Tuesday.

Trump authorized strikes on Iran on Feb. 28, kicking off what Axios described Tuesday as a “world at war” as nations across the globe have joined in on the conflict. Among the largest challenges the United States has faced thus far has been Iran’s inexpensive drones, which have posed a “bigger problem than anticipated” to Trump’s war effort and are connected to the deaths of seven U.S. service members.

Materials released over the weekend by the Texas Department of Public Safety regarding a homeland security officer’s killing of 23-year-old Ruben Ray Martinez last March in Texas appeared to provide the latest evidence that federal agents have misled the public about the circumstances surrounding fatal shootings.

American Oversight, a government watchdog group, revealed last month that nearly a year before the fatal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis, Martinez was the first known US citizen to be killed by an agent of the Trump administration who was carrying out official duties.

Disinformation has exploded on social media since U.S. and Israeli bombs started dropping in Iran.

Iranian state media and pro-Tehran propaganda networks have tapped into the conspiracy theory that President Donald Trump launched the joint military operation to distract from his presence in the Jeffrey Epstein files, and the content has linked both U.S. and Israeli leaders to the late sex offender to portray them as corrupt and depraved, reported the Washington Post.

A woman told the FBI that in the early 2000s, when she was 16 years old, she had given a massage to Jeffrey Epstein at his New York home while the disgraced financier “was on a speakerphone call with Donald Trump” — just moments before being sexually assaulted, according to a newly released FBI memo.

First reported by the Daily Mail, the revelation comes from a transcript of a 2020 FBI interview released by the Justice Department last week as part of its publication of 50,000 new files related to Epstein. In the interview, the woman, whose name is redacted, told an FBI agent and analyst that she had been recruited by Epstein when she was a junior in high school.

Megyn Kelly launched a full-on attack at President Donald Trump ally Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) over his escalating calls for U.S. military involvement in foreign conflicts. Kelly, an outspoken opponent of U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran, characterized Graham as a warmonger promoting dangerous foreign policy.

Graham has made several aggressive statements across media appearances in recent days. During an interview with Maria Bartiromo on Sunday, he called for direct U.S. intervention in Cuba and urged President Trump to join Israel in attacking the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon. Speaking to Sean Hannity on Monday, Graham told other Middle Eastern nations to intensify military efforts, stating they needed to "up your game." He also criticized Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez for opposing Iran attacks, telling Spain it had "lost your way" and calling for the U.S. to withdraw its military air base from the country.

Senate Republicans are increasingly divided over how – or whether – to pass President Donald Trump’s sweeping elections overhaul, a measure he has called his “No. 1 priority.”

The fate of the proposed SAVE America Act grew murkier Monday as GOP senators clashed over the strategy needed to overcome Democratic opposition in the closely divided chamber, NBC News reported.
