President Donald Trump barged into King Charles' greeting to his top administration officials.

The 77-year-old monarch shook hands with Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles —before pausing his greetings.

Vice President JD Vance, who has been under increasing scrutiny for not toeing the Donald Trump administration line on the Iran war, made what appeared to be an attempt to get back in line by applauding an ICE operation underway in Minneapolis.

That led a former US Attorney to advise the vice president to butt out.

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a civil rights organization, has asked a federal court to silence acting Attorney General Todd Blanche after he allegedly made false statements on Fox News.

Last week, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Alabama secured an indictment against the SPLC, alleging that the organization paid the leaders of racist organizations.

The Department of Homeland Security said it had partnered with the FBI to raid more than 20 locations in Minneapolis, MN, as part of an investigation into "rampant fraud."

The Department of Justice confirmed to Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin that the two agencies were working together and "currently raiding 20+ locations... in relation to ongoing federal fraud investigations."

First Lady Melania Trump’s air of indifference, as exemplified by her wearing a coat emblazoned with "I really don't care, do you?" during a trip to a migrant child detention center in 2018, is reportedly cracking as she now embraces her husband's confrontational style in public.

According to one Republican insider, that has always been her true nature, but the "shield" of studied nonchalance is slipping as she becomes more vocal about any criticism aimed her way.

With conspiracy theories and rumors swirling around the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting, Daily Beast executive editor Hugh Dougherty — who was there when everything went down — expressed sympathy for those speculating that the horror was "staged" — because his first reaction was "it's a stunt."

But, he wrote, he's now certain the attack by alleged gunman Cole Thomas Allen wasn't staged. Indeed, the truth is even worse.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a motion in court late Monday asking a judge to allow construction on the White House ballroom project to resume, but critics were quick to notice the filing’s striking similarities to one of President Donald Trump’s own social media posts, leaving onlookers dumbfounded.

“Trump’s DOJ just filed what may be the most deranged written Motion ever,” reads a statement published Tuesday from the progressive media company MeidasTouch. “It reads more like a Truth Social post dictated by Trump himself. What an embarrassment.”

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s attempt to gain membership to one of the Beltway's most elite private clubs is reportedly meeting a wave of resistance from more than a few members.

According to Politico's Daniel Lippman, at least six members have written to the Metropolitan Club's board of directors to object to Blanche's joining, saying he's too polarizing, citing the damage he is inflicting upon the Department of Justice. As Politico puts it, "Some members of one of Washington’s most exclusive clubs have a message for acting Attorney General Todd Blanche: We don’t want you."

Donald Trump’s fresh attack on late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel over a joke he made about the age disparity between the 79-year-old president and his 56-year-old wife Melania did not get a sympathetic ear on “Morning Joe.”

During a roast last Thursday, Kimmel joked about the first lady, calling her an "expectant widow,” which the White House has been trying to link to the assassination attempt on Saturday –– leading to new calls to fire the comedian.

A prominent advocate for the Trump administration’s Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) initiative expressed outrage Tuesday over what they called the president’s “enormous political misstep,” an executive order that they warned “might cost the midterms for the Republican Party.”

“This was an enormous political misstep in terms of what the administration did... a real slap in the face to MAHA,” said Kelly Ryerson, a prominent MAHA advocate, during an appearance on Fox News.

“There’s a day of reckoning coming.”

That is the opinion of a prominent oil industry executive who is predicting a major surge in prices at the gas pump as Donald Trump’s war on Iran, and the accompanying closure of the Strait of Hormuz, drags on.

Political analysts and observers roasted Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Monday after he announced he took a "joyride" with MAGA music star Kid Rock.

"Joined my friend @KidRock — and some of our great @USArmy Apache pilots — for a ride this morning. (More to come on that!)" Hegseth wrote in a post on X. "Kid Rock is a patriot and huge supporter of our troops. The War Department is wasting no time celebrating America’s 250th — home of the free because of the brave."
