The Washington Post’s bombshell report Sunday that revealed Tulsi Gabbard may have been guided throughout her political career by a “cult guru” cemented the Trump administration’s legacy for the worse, argued Zeteo’s Martin Pengelly, who noted how the revelation made clear that the federal government had transformed into a full “kakistocracy.”

Gabbard, who resigned from her position as Director of National Intelligence last Friday, was revealed to have received guidance throughout her 20-plus years in politics from Chris Butler, the leader of a religious group that countless former members have described as a “cult.”

A pair of President Donald Trump's appointees raised eyebrows by floating conspiracy theories about the Watergate scandal that ended Richard Nixon's presidency.

Pardon attorney Ed Martin marked the 54th anniversary of the June 17, 1972, Watergate break-in that set in motion the chain of events that led up to Nixon's resignation two years later by blaming the scandal on U.S. intelligence and Washington Post reporters Robert Woodward and Carl Bernstein.

President Donald Trump took to social media Monday to warn Americans against vandalizing his beautification projects in Washington, D.C., threatening those who “even attempt” to destroy “such things” with a decade behind bars.

“Of the MANY Statues and Fountains that we rebuilt, renovated, cleaned, and fixed, the only one that was Vandalized was the Reflecting Pool, which is being taken care of, ASAP!” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social, repeating a claim that’s been disputed by critics.

Fox News host Brian Kilmeade lost it, calling for President Donald Trump to replace JD Vance as Iran negotiator — blasting his Israel criticism as "ridiculous."

On Fox & Friends, Kilmeade unloaded on Vice President JD Vance after Vance warned Israeli cabinet members Thursday that Trump is "the only powerful ally" they have "anywhere left in the entire world." The remarks came as U.S. and Iranian negotiators were deep into a 60-day sprint to flesh out the memorandum of understanding the two countries signed last week.

President Donald Trump is slated to attend the Senate GOP’s Steering lunch event on Wednesday at the invitation of Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL), an invite seen by other Republican lawmakers as “a slight” toward Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) amid the president’s ongoing spat with the chamber, Punchbowl News reported Monday.

Trump has sparked significant “chaos” for Senate Republicans in recent weeks, from derailing the caucus’ entire agenda last week by “canceling” a Senate confirmation hearing, to pushing his controversial voting ID bill the SAVE Act that Thune has said does not have the support to advance.

A new front has opened in the politics of artificial intelligence, and it's coming from inside President Donald Trump's own coalition.

Amy Kremer, a former Tea Party leader who helped organize the rally preceding the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, has emerged as one of the most prominent conservative voices pushing back against Silicon Valley's influence over AI policy, reported the Washington Post. As chair of the advocacy group Humans First, Kremer is attempting to channel the same populist anger that once fueled the Tea Party into a movement against AI labs and the tech billionaires who have aligned themselves with Trump.

President Donald Trump and his allies are barreling toward a historic "clash" with the Supreme Court – including with conservative justices he personally appointed – unlike anything seen in nearly 100 years, a legal expert told The Washington Post.

“It seems like almost 100 years since you’ve had a clash approaching this level between the president and the court,” said Jeffrey Fisher, a law professor and co-director of Stanford University’s Supreme Court Litigation Clinic. “You’d have to go back to the New Deal to have any kind of an analogue.”

A political analyst was astounded on Sunday as Republican criticism of President Donald Trump's war with Iran grew louder following the collapse of peace talks in Switzerland.

David Pakman, host of the "David Pakman Show on YouTube," reacted to former Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy's recent appearance on Fox News, where he sharply criticized the alleged deal that the Trump administration struck with the Iranian regime last weekend, in a new episode on Sunday. Gowdy described Trump's deal as a capitulation, arguing that he released the "economic stranglehold" that the U.S. held over Iran for decades.

A long-time GOP operative warned on Sunday that his party is facing an existential crisis as the conservative parts of the party give way to President Donald Trump's extremist followers, and that could have massive implications for American society going forward.

Mike Madrid, author of "The Great Transformation" on Substack, argued in a new essay that there has been a "complete collapse" in the relationship between Republicanism and Conservatism, one that Trump filled with "populist nationalism and bigger, stronger government." And that collapse could have serious ramifications, he warned.
