President Donald Trump just got a "quiet but unmistakable" message from U.S. allies over his troubles in Iran.

Trump has called on U.S. allies to help clear the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran effectively shut off to American and Israeli ships in retaliation for the bombing strikes the two countries have carried out since late February. The Strait accounts for 20% of global oil trade, and the blockade is part of the reason why energy prices in the U.S. have reached levels not seen since the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

A CNN legal expert was floored on Tuesday while discussing how President Donald Trump's pardon of the Jan. 6 rioters could impact an ongoing, high-profile case.

Lawyers for Brian J. Cole Jr., who has been accused of placing pipe bombs outside of the Republican and Democratic national committees in Washington, D.C., ahead of the Jan. 6 insurrection, recently argued in court that Trump's sweeping pardon for the rioters should also apply to Cole, Fox News reported. They argued that Cole is "inextricably" tied to the events contemplated in the pardon.

The late child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's "sprawling web" continues to ensnare the MAGA movement.

The Daily Beast reported on Tuesday that two of the MAGA movement's heavyweights, Roger Stone and Steve Bannon, are at each other's throats over who will lord over the upcoming Conservative Political Action Conference in Dallas, Texas, on March 25. Stone recently launched a bid to keep Bannon away from the event by running ad campaigns tying Bannon to the Jeffrey Epstein files, according to the report.

Political analysts and observers bristled on Tuesday at the White House's latest concessions in its bid to reopen the Department of Homeland Security.

President Donald Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, and James Braid, director of the Office of Legal Affairs, wrote a letter to Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Katie Britt (R-AL) updating them on the latest negotiations with Democrats on Capitol Hill. The two parties have been negotiating funding for the Department of Homeland Security, which was shut down on Feb. 13 when Democrats refused to support an appropriations bill.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's pastor threatened a leading Democrat in the Texas Senate primary race during a recent podcast interview, according to a report.

Brooks Pottegier, who preaches at Pilgrim Hill Reformed Fellowship in a suburb outside of Nashville, Tennessee, joined Christian Nationalist commentator Joshua Haymes on a recent episode of his podcast, "Reformed Red Pill," where the two discussed Texas state Rep. James Talarico's campaign for the U.S. Senate.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard faced criticism for her response to the resignation of Joe Kent, director of the National Counterterrorism Center.

In his resignation letter, Kent said that he was quitting because he could not "in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran."

Right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones urged President Donald Trump's MAGA supporters to follow the lead of Joe Kent, an intelligence official who quit the administration over the war in Iran.

"Well, it's historic time for America and the world. Facts are all coming out. This is truly the age of revelation," Jones declared on his Tuesday broadcast. "Joe Kent. The head of the Office of National Counterterrorism, number two under Tulsi Gabbard, who oversees all 17 intelligence agencies, went public and resigned and said Israel's basically staged a coup over the Trump White House on foreign policy."

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard indicated tepid support for President Donald Trump. Still, she did not endorse the war in Iran following the resignation of Joe Kent, one of her top deputies.

"After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today," Kent said in an X post on Tuesday. "I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby."
