President Donald Trump went off on the New York Times once again in an early morning attack Tuesday — this time without even specifying what the newspaper did that set him off.

After being quiet on Truth Social all Monday, just after midnight he warned the Times “must be dealt with” at some future time.

Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-OH) filed a lawsuit Monday seeking to force the removal of President Donald Trump’s name from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, arguing that the move violated federal law and the Constitution.

The lawsuit, filed in D.C. federal court, names Trump and several loyalists he appointed to the Kennedy Center’s board as defendants. Beatty contends that the board’s vote last week to rename the Washington, D.C., cultural institution was illegal because only Congress has the authority to change the center’s name.

The Washington Post's editorial board on Monday bashed what it called President Donald Trump's "biggest broadside yet" against wind power.

On Monday, the Interior Department announced it halted all leases for offshore wind projects. The announcement followed months of attacks by Trump against wind energy. The move was condemned by environmental groups and even some of the president's allies in Congress.

The Trump administration's plan to shut down a key weather research agency in Boulder, Colorado, is running into opposition — from Republicans.

According to NOTUS, "Republican Reps. Jeff Hurd, Jay Obernolte, Brian Fitzpatrick, and Jack Bergman joined Democrats, including Rep. Joe Neguse and Sens. Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper, in a letter to Congressional appropriators Monday asking them to ensure sustained funding for the Colorado-based National Center for Atmospheric Research. Eighty lawmakers from both the Senate and the House signed the letter."

The Wall Street Journal editorial board weighed in on Monday over the rapidly accelerating collapse of the Heritage Foundation.

A longtime haven for far-right legal scholars and the birthplace of President Donald Trump's Project 2025 agenda, Heritage has been in freefall ever since its president, Kevin Roberts, defended Tucker Carlson's interview with neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes, triggering a mass exodus of scholars who revolted over the organization's flirtation with antisemitism.

President Donald Trump is planning to recall 30 diplomats from posts that are typically left in place following a presidential administration because they are considered "apolitical" and replace them with MAGA loyalists, according to a new report.

The Guardian reported on Monday night that the diplomats would not be fired, but instead would be reassigned to other posts. The report added that the move is part of the Trump administration's goal of uprooting the "deep state."

Colorado-based shoemaker Crocs, Inc. slapped the Trump administration with a $54 million lawsuit, claiming the president overstepped his authority with emergency tariffs that have cost the company hundreds of millions over the last two consecutive quarters.

The footwear giant filed the suit Friday in the U.S. Court of International Trade in New York City, naming U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the U.S. Department of Treasury, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, the Denver Business Journal reported. Trump administration officials, including Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, were also named in the action seeking $54 million in tariff refunds.

The far-right Heritage Foundation continues to fall apart as legal scholars exit in droves, fed up with the ongoing scandal of its president refusing to condemn GOP personality Tucker Carlson's association with neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes. But on Monday, a very notable name cut ties with the group — leaving observers astonished.

Hans von Spakovsky is known to some as an unapologetic extreme-right culture warrior. He has been a key crusader for GOP legislation restricting voting rights, and went out of his way to exclude Democratic Party election officials from getting a seat on a task force investigating unfounded voter fraud conspiracy theories. His exit from the Heritage Foundation comes as he and Cully Stimson, who is also resigning, had just been named as the interim directors of the Meese Center for Legal and Judicial Studies, which a previous wave of resignations had already hollowed out.

CNN anchor Erin Burnett delivered a blistering rebuke of the Trump Justice Department Monday night after new details emerged that the DOJ failed to redact the name of at least one Epstein survivor in the newly released files – a lapse she said flatly contradicts the department’s own justification for delaying the release in the first place.

“CNN learning the Justice Department did not protect the identity of some Epstein survivors,” Burnett said during the opening minutes of her show, “OutFront.” One survivor, who has chosen to identify herself publicly only as Jane Doe, told CNN her full name appeared multiple times in the document and remained unredacted even after she alerted the DOJ over the weekend.

The internet erupted into a frenzy on Monday night after a video of a canned "60 Minutes" segment from Sunday was published.

On Sunday, CBS News Editor in Chief Bari Weiss scrapped a segment on "60 Minutes" about President Donald Trump's efforts to send deportees to the infamous CECOT prison in El Salvador. The video features testimony from deportees who said officers told them they "would never see the light of day again." It aired in Canada even though the segment was not shown in the U.S.

A federal judge in Washington, D.C. has ordered the Trump administration to give hearings to 137 Venezuelans who were improperly expelled from the United States and shipped out on mass deportation flights to the Salvadoran CECOT megaprison in March under the Alien Enemies Act.

Chief Judge James Boasberg issued the 43-page order on Monday, marking the latest salvo in a back-and-forth that has unfolded for months.
