President Donald Trump erupted at CBS News reporter Lesley Stahl Monday over her coverage of a controversial incident in 2020, demanding that she issue him “a complete and total APOLOGY.”

Trump apparently watched CBS News’ Sunday episode of “60 Minutes” featuring Stahl interviewing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), sparking him to take to social media to attack “Trump-hating” Stahl who he insisted “still owes me an apology.”

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) questioned President Donald Trump's commitment to the America First agenda, noting that he had taken millions from the Israel lobby, while she had accepted no donations.

After Greene told 60 Minutes that Trump's attacks on her had led to threats, the president responded on Truth Social.

President Donald Trump has formed an increasingly strong alliance with Silicon Valley tech billionaires during his second term, an alliance that prominent right-wing influencer and ex-Trump official Steve Bannon issued a dire warning about Monday ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

Trump has sought to make the United States the world leader in artificial intelligence, having jumpstarted the initiative during his first week in office with an executive order designed to remove regulatory barriers around AI development. The initiative has seen Trump cozy up to a number of tech billionaires, many of which have either been placed in Trump’s administration or carry a strong influence on Trump’s decision making.

Within the past year, President Donald Trump called longtime MAGA ally Michael Flynn, his former national security advisor who supported the president’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election, a “loser,” according to insiders who spoke with Zeteo on Monday.

“One of those sources recalls Trump within the past year saying that Flynn behaves like a ‘loser,’ wrote Zeteo senior political correspondent Swin Suebsaeng in the report.

The fallout from President Donald Trump's trade war may hit consumers in a much bigger way at the start of next year, according to economists and major retailers.

Retailers have been able to shield consumers from the president's steep tariffs for longer than many economists expected, but business executives and corporate analysts are running low on inventory they stocked up on before those duties kicked in — which could result in price increases as soon as this month, reported Politico.

The Supreme Court is poised to hear Trump v. Slaughter, a case that could fundamentally reshape the balance of power between the presidency and Congress.

At issue is whether President Donald Trump can fire the heads of independent federal agencies at will — a power the Constitution does not explicitly grant and which the Supreme Court unanimously rejected nearly a century ago, wrote New York Times columnist Kate Shaw, a law professor at the University of Pennsylvania.

President Donald Trump announced a major policy shift on artificial intelligence Monday amid his administration’s efforts to lead AI development on the world stage — much to the chagrin of many prominent members of the MAGA movement.

“There must be only One Rulebook if we are going to continue to lead in AI. We are beating ALL COUNTRIES at this point in the race, but that won’t last long if we are going to have 50 States, many of them bad actors, involved in RULES and the APPROVAL PROCESS,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social on Monday.

Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) got a dressing down on Monday morning for his performance over the weekend on ABC after he lashed out at "This Week" host George Stephanopoulos who put him on the spot about Donald Trump’s pardon of a cocaine kingpin.

Schmitt, the former attorney general of Missouri before being elected to the US Senate, was asked about the pardon of former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, who was convicted of plotting to flood the US with cocaine. The Missouri lawmaker claimed he was in the dark about the president’s interference on the convicted drug dealer’s part.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is not making any new friends at the Pentagon, as the whole department is facing scrutiny over his attacks on so-called narco-terrorists while giving department intel officials the cold shoulder.

That is according to longtime Washington Post columnist David Ignatius who reported on MS NOW Monday that the Donald Trump appointee’s tenure at the Pentagon, where he has fired people left and right, is now coming back to haunt him during the latest crisis.

The Trump administration quietly posted a notice on the Department of Transportation website on Friday announcing that Southwest Airlines would have the remainder of its $140 million fine waived — a charge issued to the airline after it left millions of travelers stranded over the 2022 holiday season.

Southwest still owed approximately $11 million toward the fine, money that has been directed toward affected customers. But DOT officials justified letting the airline off the hook by saying they believed “that this approach is in the public interest.”
