Donald Trump’s “bluster” about using the National Guard to occupy cities, all of which are governed by Democratic mayors, was a contributing factor in a major legal blow to his administration Tuesday.

Early Tuesday morning, U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer ruled that the administration violated the Posse Comitatus Act for deploying 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to Los Angeles.

Republican Stuart Stevens could not understand why MSNBC was spending any time talking about the aging Democrats dropping out of Congress rather than a president who has deployed the National Guard to police U.S. citizens.

The conversation was about Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), who announced on Tuesday he would retire from Congress at the end of the term.

President Donald Trump dismissed the circulation of a viral video that appeared to show a dark bag being thrown out of an upstairs window at the White House — saying it didn't happen and it was probably faked with artificial intelligence.

"There's a video that is circulating online now of the White House, where a window is opened to the residence upstairs, and somebody is throwing a big bag out the window," said Fox News' Peter Doocy. "Have you seen this?"

Fox News' Peter Doocy asked President Donald Trump about the internet rumors that spread over the weekend that he was dead or gravely ill. While some bought into the rumors, the larger conversation among political commentators was about Trump's persistent health issues, dark bruises that have popped up on both of his hands, and his week-long disappearance from cameras.

Speaking to the press on Tuesday, Trump seemed shocked by the question.

President Donald Trump blamed "fake news" after learning that rumors had circulated about his death.

During a White House event on Tuesday afternoon, Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy asked Trump about the "big viral social media trend."

Behind the scenes, one of President Donald Trump’s top nemeses is scoring major victories and leaving the president on the defensive. The Atlantic reported Monday the details of a highly organized, remarkably effective “legal resistance” to Trump’s ongoing efforts in his second term.

Former ethics czar, impeachment prosecutor, and frequent thorn in Trump’s side, Norm Eisen, “has pursued more than 100 legal matters” against Trump, according to the report.

Any hope that Donald Trump and his inner circle may have had about dispelling rumors about his health suffered a setback on Tuesday morning after the president was interviewed by conservative CNN contributor Scott Jennings.

President Donald Trump has abruptly canceled funding for a massive project in deep-red Indiana, leaving many of his supporters feeling confused and hurt.

The Trump administration rescinded a $500 million grant for the Heidelberg plant in Mitchell to trap and bury greenhouse gas produced by cement manufacturing as part of its ongoing purge of funding for projects perceived to be linked to global warming, reported the Washington Post.

Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) announced Tuesday that she won’t be seeking a third term in a video posted to social media, setting the stage for a contested Senate seat in the state of Iowa which, while not considered a swing state, has historically been competitive.

“After a tremendous amount of prayer and reflection, I will not be seeking re-election in 2026,” Ernst said in a video message, posted on the social media platform X. “This was no easy decision; I love my state and country.”

Republicans in the U.S. Senate are frustrated with Democrats' delaying approval for President Donald Trump's political appointees to his government.

President Donald Trump's agenda for America was brutally parodied in an Atlantic newsletter by columnist Alexandra Petri, who portrayed it as the expiration of a "trial period" for America's freedom and public services.

"We understand that over the past 250-odd years, you have come to rely on the services provided by the U.S. of A.: postal delivery, representative government, edible food, clean water, lifesaving vaccines, and no kings — ever, guaranteed," she wrote. "Well, 250 years of free is enough. Now we demand $TRUMP coin."
