Two Republicans in the House of Representatives are planning acts of defiance during President Donald Trump's State of the Union address on Tuesday night, a new report revealed.

Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Nancy Mace (R-SC) plan to join Democrats in silently protesting the president and his administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, Axios reported. Massie plans to sit with Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and the Democratic side of the aisle in a rare show of bipartisanship. The two lawmakers led the charge to pass a bill requiring the Trump administration to release all Epstein files in its possession.

President Donald Trump's two top lieutenants have turned America's diplomatic apparatus into a "catacomb," according to one analyst.

Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and special envoy Steve Witkoff, a real estate developer, have assumed the lead role in negotiations spanning the war in Ukraine to Middle East diplomacy and other matters. Despite their vast portfolio, the duo has largely turned the "nerve center of the world’s most consequential foreign-policy institution and more like the catacombs for diplomacy," Vivian Salama, staff writer at The Atlantic, reported on Tuesday.

One of President Donald Trump's hand-picked prosecutors suffered an "abject humiliation" in court recently, according to two experts.

Jeanine Pirro, Trump's U.S. Attorney in Washington, D.C., attempted to indict six Democratic lawmakers for making a social media video where they told military troops that they don't have to follow illegal orders. A grand jury refused to indict the lawmakers, and Trump's Department of Justice moved to drop the case on Tuesday.

Paramount is reportedly edging closer to a deal to purchase Warner Bros. Discovery, the owner of HBO, CNN, and other media properties.

In a statement on Tuesday, Warner Bros. Discovery said Paramount's offer could "reasonably be expected" to lead to a "company superior proposal."

The GOP's "moral decay" was on full display this week after House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) refused to hold a Republican lawmaker accountable for his involvement in a sex scandal, according to one analyst.

On Monday, Rep. Tony Gonzalez (R-TX) faced calls to resign after it was revealed that he was involved in a sex scandal with one of his aides, who later took her own life through self-immolation. Johnson declined to push Gonzalez to resign, even though several Republicans are trying to push Gonzalez out of office. Gonzalez faces a primary election on March 3.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio was revealed to be delivering a “rare briefing” on Tuesday to top Trump officials, and one guest reportedly in attendance has sparked a flurry of speculation as to whether President Donald Trump may authorize an attack on Iran.

That briefing, reportedly about Iran, is being delivered to the so-called “Gang of Eight,” a coalition of congressional leaders who are typically informed of sensitive intelligence matters and covert operations. However, according to Axios reporter Barak Ravid, a ninth Trump administration official will be joining the briefing, an individual whose attendance raised eyebrows among critics.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) accused Alison Steinberg, a correspondent for Lindell TV, of embarrassing herself during a confrontation at the U.S. Capitol.

In a video published on Tuesday, Steinberg noted that Omar had recently said that President Donald Trump's economy had failed.

President Donald Trump's bogus promise to send Navy hospital ships to Greenland didn't originate in the Pentagon or State Department —it came from a casual chat with a bricklayer, according to a report.

Jørgen Boassen, a 52-year-old Greenlandic construction worker and Trump supporter, spilled the tea to the Wall Street Journal, revealing he was the unlikely catalyst behind the president's weekend declaration.

Ex-Trump administration official Sarah Matthews went hard at her former boss on Tuesday during an appearance on MS NOW, accusing President Donald Trump of being involved in a massive “cover-up” concerning Jeffrey Epstein and his past ties to the disgraced financier.

“This administration loves to claim that they're the most transparent administration in history, and that's obviously just a bunch of bologna,” Matthews said. “It's not true.”
