A House Republican offered a vulgar take on Speaker Mike Johnson's (R-LA) strategy to end the partial government shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security, according to a new report.

DHS has been shut down for several months after Democrats refused to pass a bill to fund the agency. The Democrats dug in after President Donald Trump's Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers shot and killed two American citizens during "Operation Metro Surge," which sent thousands of officers into Minneapolis to combat local protests against deportations.

Fans of President Donald Trump's MAGA movement regularly claim that they hate what Hollywood represents, but the two worlds are much closer than once thought, according to one ex-MAGA influencer.

Ashley St. Clair, a former influencer, said during an interview on "The Lincoln Project Podcast" with Rick Wilson that Trump uses several Hollywood-learned tricks to create a sense of "fake legitimacy." They include using nefarious paid campaigns to coordinate messaging among influencers, and finding the right people to deliver specific messages, such as hiring attractive young women to push messages that sound "abrasive" coming from a man.

Gavin McInnes, the founder of the Proud Boys, came unglued on Tuesday during an off-the-rails interview on Piers Morgan's YouTube show, "Piers Morgan Uncensored."

McInnes was on a panel with right-wing provocateur Chris Rufo, ex-GOP lawmaker Joe Walsh, and liberal radio host Brian Shapiro, where they discussed the heated political rhetoric circulating since the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday. The alleged shooter, Cole Allen, fired multiple rounds inside the hotel where the event was held, but was never in close vicinity of the president or any members of the cabinet who were in attendance, according to reports.

A legal expert said during a new interview on CNN that he is shocked that the Trump administration returned another indictment against former FBI Director James Comey on Tuesday.

Ryan Goodman, editor in chief of Just Security, told CNN's Erin Burnett on her show, "OutFront," that "it was a shock" that a grand jury returned the three-page indictment against Comey for charges of threatening the president and felony interstate communication violations. He added that there are possible repercussions down the line for lawyers working on the case.

President Donald Trump's attack dog in the Federal Communications Commission issued a dark threat to a media behemoth during a new podcast interview over an ongoing investigation into its diversity policies.

FCC Chair Brendan Carr on Tuesday told right-wing podcaster Katie Miller, host of "The Katie Miller Podcast" and wife of Stephen Miller, Trump's deputy chief of staff for policy, that his agency has "evidence" that Disney had instituted policies that gave employees "different opportunities" based on their demographic information. Carr added that the agency's investigation into the company remains ongoing.

A political analyst was outraged on Tuesday after Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt issued an "abundantly clear" threat to the press during her briefing.

Leavitt, who returned early from maternity leave to hold the daily briefing, told reporters about the Trump administration's efforts to "tone down the rhetoric" following the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday. At the event, a lone gunman fired several rounds inside the Washington Hilton, where the dinner was held. A Secret Service agent was hit in their bulletproof vest and survived. No one was killed, and the president and members of his cabinet were rushed out of the event unscathed.

President Donald Trump is poised to suffer one last defeat at the hands of the Federal Reserve tomorrow as Chairman Jerome Powell prepares to depart, according to a new report.

Bloomberg reported on Tuesday that the central bank seems likely to vote to hold interest rates steady at its next meeting, even though Trump has publicly pressured the bank to lower interest rates throughout his second administration. Powell has previously cited the war in Iran and elevated inflation as reasons the central bank would leave interest rates unchanged.

Analysts were aghast on Tuesday after a new report indicated that the Trump administration had reinstated the Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who shot and killed Renee Good in Minneapolis earlier this year.

ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot and killed Good in late January during "Operation Metro Surge," a federal action that sent more than 3,000 immigration agents into the city to combat protests against Trump's deportation operations. On Tuesday, The Daily Beast reported that Ross had been "quietly relocated to another state" and allowed to return to work.

A legal expert flagged a "major problem" in the indictment that President Donald Trump's Department of Justice returned against former FBI Director James Comey on Tuesday during an interview on CNN.

Elie Honig, a former federal prosecutor in the Southern District of New York, discussed the new indictment on CNN's "The Lead" with host Jake Tapper. The three-page indictment alleges two felony charges related to an Instagram post Comey made last year that featured an image of seashells that read "86 47," a phrase that some conservative commentators seemed to think meant that Comey wanted Trump to be killed.
