The revival of the Signalgate scandal will be a test of President Donald Trump's leadership and loyalty to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, according to MSNBC's Jonathan Lemire.

The defense secretary had already been facing criticism and calls for his ouster for revealing military plans on the commercially available Signal app with a reporter present, and those calls are growing louder after new reporting revealed that he discussed those operations in another group chat that included his wife, brother and personal attorney.

One of Pope Francis’s last acts was to slam President Donald Trump policies.

The pope died early Monday at 88 years old.

A “coalition of people want to see more babies born” in the U.S. — and President Donald Trump is takin note, according to a report from the New York Times.

The nation's birthrate in the United States has been falling since 2007 and Times reporter Caroline Kitchener called it, “A warning of a future in which a smaller workforce cannot support an aging population and the social safety net.” Adding, “If the birthrate is not turned around, [different groups] fear, the country’s economy could collapse and, ultimately, human civilization could be at risk.”

Donald Trump will cross the 100-day threshold for his second presidency next week and, if history is a guide, his honeymoon period could soon come to an end.

The president has worked quickly to dismantle chunks of the federal government, unraveled post-World War II military and economic alliances and upended global trade networks. His approval ratings are already falling before the public even feels the impact of his sweeping tariffs, wrote former Bill Clinton adviser Doug Sosnick for the New York Times.

Donald Trump's first 100 days back in the US presidency have showcased his unique ability to shock -- and sometimes entertain -- with outrageous remarks that pull no punches.

From stroking his own ego to berating American allies, here are some of Trump's most memorable quotes since he returned to the White House:

The word "performative" is often used to describe President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement.

In contrast, Never Trump conservative and veteran Washington Post columnist George Will once described the conservative movement of the past as "bookish" — and he meant it in a good way. Will applauds yesterday's conservatives for their attention to detail, and he has a very low opinion of MAGA's love of theatrics and over-the-top spectacle.

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who has been mired in controversy since Donald Trump first nominated him, is now "unlikely to remain in his role," according to his own former department spokesperson on Sunday.

The report includes "remarkable accusations" from a former Hegseth aide and comes the same day as it was reported that the Secretary was involved in a second unsecured Signal chat in which sensitive attack plans were shared. Hegseth was mocked for the reported security misstep.

A law professor on Sunday explained what she would tell lawyers who are considering cutting a deal with Donald Trump.

The president has inked numerous deals with law firms who have represented interests opposite to his own, sometimes requiring them to perform pro bono services in exchange for avoiding punishments at the federal level.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is in hot water once again after details emerged on Sunday about a purported second unsecured Signal chat in which attack plans were shared.

Hegseth over the weekend got wrapped up in another scandal involving a second, previously unreported, Signal chat in which sensitive attack plans were shared, this time with his wife and his brother, according to a news report.

Donald Trump on Sunday called for Democrats and members of the media who have defended a wrongly deported man to be "held responsible" by the courts.

Trump earlier in the day lashed out at businessmen who criticized his tariff policies. After that, he commented on the case involving a Maryland man, Kilmar Ábrego García, who was purportedly sent to El Salvador in error.

Pete Hegseth on Sunday got wrapped up in another scandal involving a second, previously unreported, Signal chat in which sensitive attack plans were shared, this time with his wife and his brother, according to a news report.

Hegseth was recently under fire for sharing terrorist attack plans in an unsecured chat on the Signal app. While Hegseth didn't create that chat group, he did create a second one, where the members included his wife and brother, and shared almost identical attack plans in that group, according to the New York Times' reporting Sunday.

Donald Trump on Sunday took a swipe at businessmen who criticize his signature policy, and observers immediately pounced on the purported irony.

Trump over the weekend posted the following statement on Truth Social: "THE BUSINESSMEN WHO CRITICIZE TARIFFS ARE BAD AT BUSINESS, BUT REALLY BAD AT POLITICS."
