President Donald Trump's peace plan for the war between Israel and Hamas is being met with "extreme skepticism" abroad, a foreign analyst revealed on Tuesday.

Jane Kinninmont, CEO at the United Nations Association, discussed Trump's peace plan during an interview on Times Radio. The plan involves creating an international peacekeeping commission headed by Trump and a complete overhaul of the Palestinian Authority, the governing body of Palestine.

Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-PA) said that she marched into the office to talk to Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Tuesday and tried to reason with him about averting a government shutdown, but it became clear to her that he didn't care.

"I implored the Speaker that he should have brought his members here so that if there were a chance to solve this without shutting the government down, we would have been able to do that. But in the absence of that, by him sending everybody home or on vacation, he effectively created a shutdown," Dean told MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace about her conversation with Johnson.

In an attack on Democrats over the shutdown set to begin at midnight Wednesday, President Donald Trump warned that he will lay off a number of federal workers — and apparently they'll all be Democrats.

Speaking from the Oval Office on Tuesday afternoon, Trump was asked by a reporter why he needed to do layoffs during the shutdown when the "Department of Government Efficiency," or DOGE, had been making cuts across the whole of government.

Trump took questions from reporters during a news conference in the Oval Office on Tuesday after signing an executive order concerning the use of AI in pediatric cancer cases.

Longtime Pentagon reporter Helene Cooper said that she can't find any military officials who attended the meeting in Virginia with President Donald Trump and Secretary Pete Hegseth and liked what they heard.

"I have yet to find a single military official who was in the audience today who thought that this was a good presentation," she told MSNBC on Tuesday afternoon.

President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth were raked over the coals by a former GOP campaign advisor after their appearance at the Marine base in Quantico, Virginia, for giving aid and comfort to enemies of the United States.

In a scorching take-down of the appearance by the two before hundreds of high-ranking military personnel who were lectured and put on notice about what will be expected of them going forward, Reed Galen, who served on Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign, blew up when asked about what he had just witnessed.

Federal judges continue to grow increasingly frustrated with the government as it continues to defy court orders. It's something that could result in a civil contempt charge, one legal analyst warned Tuesday.

Speaking on MSNBC, legal expert Lisa Rubin brought up scathing comments in the Voice of America case after a judge said his rulings were violated.

The Department of Justice charged a 70-year-old Air Force veteran with felony assault after a video showed a Department of Homeland Security agent pushing him to the ground.

In a video captured by writer Amanda Moore on Saturday, Dana Briggs was seen participating in a protest outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Illinois.

Lawmakers and influencers are taking Secretary Pete Hegseth's speech to heart after he railed against "fat" generals and admirals in the military.

“It's completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon, and leading commands around the country and the world. It's a bad look," said Hegseth in his speech on Tuesday.

Pro-MAGA host Benny Johnson promoted "white rage" as the secret to military success after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an unprecedented speech to top military brass about ending "woke" policies.

During his Tuesday podcast, Johnson appeared fired up by Hegseth's speech.

With the federal government all but certain to shut down at midnight Tuesday, White House aides and one senior official sounded the alarm on what they say is a golden opportunity for the Trump administration to complete what it started in hollowing out the federal government.

Among the defining sagas early in Trump’s second term was his effort to cut government spending, an effort spearheaded by Elon Musk, whom he tapped to head the newly created Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE.
