Senate Majority Leader John Thune is getting eaten alive by his own base after quietly shelving Donald Trump's signature voter fraud legislation — and the knives are out.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) lit the fuse Friday with a single scorched-earth post: "Just so America knows, after two weeks in recess, John Thune is no longer considering the SAVE America Act."

President Donald Trump apparently believed that professional wrestling matches were completely organic events — and nearly fell out of his seat watching one with disbelief, according to The New Yorker.

The revelation came as part of a deeper dive into how wrestling mogul Linda McMahon, now the head of Trump's Department of Education, approached her position and the influence she has over the administration.

CNN's Kristen Holmes was floored on Monday after President Donald Trump's latest move to make life harder for his administration officials.

Holmes reported during CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront" that Trump administration officials have been conducting a "flurry" of back-door diplomacy over the last week to prepare for an upcoming meeting in Pakistan to end the war in Iran. However, Trump has made several public statements, both on social media and during press conferences, that have made negotiations much tougher for those officials, Holmes said.

A longtime GOP analyst said on Monday that he's alarmed by the acts of one of Trump's "irresponsible and reckless" leaders, as evidenced in a new report.

Bill Kristol, editor-at-large of The Bulwark, said during a new episode of "The Bulwark Podcast" with host Tim Miller that the recent report by The Atlantic about FBI Director Kash Patel's excessive drinking while on the job was "alarming." Not only is Patel's behavior concerning on its face, but Kristol added that it also showed how little pushback Patel is receiving internally, which may be a sign of a larger issue.

A CNN fact-checker smacked down President Donald Trump's Iran claims one by one on Monday, warning that even the president's most basic claims cannot be trusted.

Daniel Dale's analysis documented a pattern of frequent false, dubious and unverifiable claims about the war. The most recent came Monday morning, when Trump told the New York Post that JD Vance was already on his way to Pakistan for Iran negotiations - only for Vance's motorcade to be spotted at the White House. He wasn't leaving until Tuesday.

A lawyer revealed on Monday that FBI Director Kash Patel's latest "terrible" decision just put President Donald Trump's Department of Justice in a bad spot.

Michael Popok, a lawyer and host of the podcast "The Intersection with Michael Popok," said during a new episode on Monday that Patel's decision to sue The Atlantic for $250 million in a defamation suit over a report about his excessive drinking while on duty has just opened up Trump's DOJ to being deposed in the lawsuit. Popok said that would give The Atlantic more information about other instances they've reported on, but may not have had the full picture.

The internet jeered Apple CEO Tim Cook after it was announced on Monday that he is stepping down.

Apple said in a statement that Cook will transition to the executive chairman role on Sept. 1, and that hardware expert John Ternus will assume the chief executive role. The move ends Cook's 15 years of leading the company, during which time he oversaw the development of the Apple Watch and AirPods.

Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer will be the next Trump administration official to depart, the White House announced on Monday.

Steven Cheung, the White House communications director, announced DeRemer's departure in a post on X.

President Donald Trump's brag that he can sign his name on an executive order better than other presidents left one analyst aghast on Monday.

On Saturday, Trump signed an executive order legalizing some natural medicines to treat veterans with serious mental health challenges. Trump bragged to the audience, which included administration officials and podcaster Joe Rogan, about the quality of his signature during the ceremony. David Pakman, host of the liberal "David Pakman Show" on YouTube, said in a new reaction video that Trump's brag was as terrifying as it was revealing.

The internet erupted on Monday after President Donald Trump posted his latest scathing rant at "unpatriotic people" on Truth Social.

Trump claimed in a lengthy Truth Social post that his administration is "winning the War by a lot," referring to the conflict in Iran that has been raging since late February. The president also called out some of his regular enemies, such as the "Fake News" New York Times and Wall Street Journal for their coverage of the war, and "unpatriotic people" who fought him during the 2024 election.

The Federalist CEO Sean Davis and Charlie Kirk Show host Andrew Kolvet pushed for the federal government to "take" part of northern Virginia "to get rid of Virginia as a blue state forever."

During a Charlie Kirk Show segment on a Democratic effort to redistrict Virginia, co-host Blake Neff argued that Virginia didn't "need a real economy" because many federal workers lived there.

President Donald Trump lashed out at the news media in a post to his Truth Social platform on Monday, accusing them of covering up how successful the Iran war is going.

This comes despite the fact that the Strait of Hormuz remains obstructed, Iran remains far apart from the United States in any talks to end the war, and the objectives of the United States remain unclear.
