Democratic Gov. Jared Polis of Colorado gave his "clearest sign yet" that he will grant clemency to one of President Donald Trump's allies, according to one analyst.

In a post on X, Polis compared the case of Tina Peters, a convicted former county clerk who is serving nine years for participating in a security breach that resulted in her county's election data being leaked to Trump allies, to another case in Colorado, where a Democratic lawmaker, state senator Sonya Jaquez Lewis, was convicted of multiple felonies for forging letters of support during an ethics investigation and received no jail time.

Conservative analysts at The Bulwark were floored on Tuesday after watching Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Noem appeared before the committee on Tuesday to answer questions about her agency and some of the decisions she has made as its leader. Republicans and Democrats showed a rare sign of bipartisan unity by sharply questioning Noem about DHS's marketing expenses, some of the contracts the agency has awarded to people close to Noem's inner circle, and the agency's investigations into the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, both of whom were killed during "Operation Metro Surge" in Minneapolis.

President Donald Trump received a "stunning tip" from his Israeli counterpart last week that seems to have forever changed the course of the Middle East, according to a report.

Axios reported on Tuesday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Trump that Iranian Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his top advisors were set to meet in a single location early Saturday, the same time the two countries coordinated a bombing campaign across more than 100 sites in Iran.

Former Customs and Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino is facing another investigation over his behavior while on duty, according to a new report.

The Guardian reported on Tuesday that Bovino is being investigated by the Department of Homeland Security for alleged "unprofessional comments" that he made during a conference call with state prosecutors. During the call, Bovino allegedly derided Daniel Rosen's observance of Shabbat, the weekly period of rest for Jewish people that lasts between Friday at sunset through Saturday at sunset. Bovino also allegedly made a comment about the "chosen people" directed at Rosen, according to the report.

Iranian-Americans are irate at President Donald Trump for delivering a "loss that can't be undone" during the recent bombing campaign.

Early Saturday morning, U.S. and Israeli forces coordinated more than 100 bombing strikes across Iran, a campaign that killed dictator Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and multiple high-ranking military and political leaders, according to reports. The campaign also destroyed cultural sites such as Tehran's Grand Bazaar, which has operated for more than 500 years, and the UNESCO World Heritage Site Golestan Palace, according to the National Iranian American Council.

Medical experts said on Tuesday that they are "blown away" by the Trump administration's new policy for pregnant migrants in its custody, according to a report.

Last July, the Trump administration created a policy requiring young pregnant migrants, some of whom are as young as 13, to be sent to a specific facility in San Benito, Texas, a decision that was made over "urgent objections from some of the administration's own health and child welfare officials," according to seven officials who spoke with NPR about the policy.

President Donald Trump's next pick to lead the Federal Reserve may have a much more difficult time achieving the president's goals than he thinks, according to a report.

Kevin Warsh, who Trump has endorsed to succeed Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell when he steps down in May, could take over the central bank at a time when the president is seeking to dramatically cut interest rates. However, justifying that among the Federal Reserve's Board of Governors may be more difficult than it seems, given the economic climate and policymakers' skepticism, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday.

A legal expert was surprised on Tuesday after the Supreme Court seemed to be "united" in a puzzling case.

On Monday, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in United States v. Hemani, which challenges a federal statute that bars people who admit to using illegal drugs from owning a gun. Earlier this year, the Fifth Circuit struck down the law, finding that it was being unconstitutionally applied to recreational drug users like Hemani, who had previously admitted to using marijuana regularly.

CNN host Kasie Hunt was visibly taken aback on Tuesday after she played an expletive-laden montage of MAGA figures criticizing President Donald Trump's war in Iran.

Hunt played the montage on "The Arena" on Tuesday, which included commentary from MAGA radio personality Megyn Kelly, Blackwater founder Erik Prince, and former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who cited her falling out with Trump over the Jeffrey Epstein files as her reason for leaving Congress in January.

President Donald Trump seems to be "counting on" one of his oldest tricks to "win" his new war in Iran, according to one of his biographers.

Throughout his career, Trump has sought to portray himself as a fighter who wins whatever battle he enters, journalist Michael Wolff, who has written four books about Trump, argued in a new op-ed for The Daily Beast on Monday. Trump appears to be trying the same thing in Iran, but doing so could be costly, Wolff continued.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio pre-emptively complained about the fact that congressional Democrats probably won't like the answers he's giving, during a press conference on the Trump administration's attack against Iran on Tuesday afternoon.

"Listen, let me explain to you guys this in simple English, okay?" said Rubio. "Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics. They have an ambition to have nuclear weapons. They intend to develop those nuclear weapons behind a program of missiles and drones and terrorism, that the world will not be able to touch them for fear of those things. And this is the weakest they've ever been. Now is the time to go after them."
