Any hope Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth might have that Navy Admiral Frank Bradley will absorb all the blame for what is being called a “war crime” was disabused by an MS NOW panel on Tuesday morning.

Reacting to both Hegseth and the White House singling out the admiral for having the final say on the attack that killed two alleged "narcoterrorists" who were hanging onto a burning vessel in the Caribbean in September, the “Morning Joe” co-hosts claimed the embattled Pentagon chief is facing a reckoning.

A prominent political strategist claimed during a podcast interview on Monday that President Donald Trump's second term is effectively over after Democrats picked up wins in key state races, which he said was the result of Trump revealing a "stunning" vulnerability.

For the last several years, Trump has appeared to be an unshakable political force. He survived two impeachments during his first term and has faced almost no sustained opposition to his agenda during his second term. However, experts have argued that cracks are appearing in Trump's base because of his strikes against alleged drug dealers and his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

A progressive analyst ripped FBI Director Kash Patel on Monday after a 115-page report outlining several "red flags" at his agency was released.

Progressive YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen said in a new YouTube video on Monday night that Patel's FBI appears to be run more like a content creation studio than a premier law enforcement agency. He cited a report that was first reported on by The New York Post that described the FBI as a "rudderless ship."

President Donald Trump threatened a foreign country in a new social media post on Monday night over the country's election results.

"Looks like Honduras is trying to change the results of their Presidential Election. If they do, there will be hell to pay!" Trump wrote on Truth Social.

The Wall Street Journal's conservative editorial board on Monday slammed President Donald Trump's strikes against alleged drug boats in international waters and argued the move could backfire on the president.

The Trump administration has conducted more than a dozen strikes against alleged drug boats since taking office, moves that have killed nearly 100 people. The strikes have inspired significant debate among legal experts and have seemed to split Trump's MAGA base.

Political analysts and observers were stunned on Monday after a high-profile GOP media personality made an "incredibly gross" claim about the lethal strikes President Donald Trump's administration has conducted against alleged drug traffickers.

During a new episode of her show on SiriusXM, radio host Megyn Kelly claimed that she not only wanted to see the targets of the boat strikes killed, but she also wanted to see them "suffer." Kelly's comments come after new reporting from The Washington Post revealed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave verbal orders to kill survivors of one of the administration's boat strikes, a report that has renewed scrutiny of Hegseth's leadership of the Department of Defense.

A House Republican aligned with President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement made a shocking claim about immigration during an interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), who is leaving Congress in pursuit of South Carolina's governor's office, said during the interview that she wants all immigrants to be removed from the country, including those who are fleeing war-torn countries. The congresswoman's rhetoric illustrates the heated debate surrounding immigration that has emerged following the shooting of two National Guard troops in Washington, D.C., last week, where a 29-year-old immigrant is believed to be the culprit.

President Donald Trump repeated his call for U.S. troops to obey him after six Democrats released a video urging U.S. military and intelligence personnel to defy illegal orders.

The six lawmakers, all with military or intelligence backgrounds, circulated a video online last month reminding service members that under U.S. law, they must disobey illegal orders and uphold the Constitution. The video sparked outrage on the right, who accused the lawmakers of urging troops to ignore orders in general from the president.

A former Republican Speaker of the House issued a stark warning to Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Monday about the party's chances of maintaining its majority following the 2026 midterm election.

Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy discussed the Republican Party's high turnover rate heading into the 2026 midterm in an interview with Axios. An analysis conducted by Axios and NPR found that Republicans are retiring at a 2-to-1 pace compared to Democrats, with 26 House members announcing their departure from the chamber during the first 11 months of the second Trump administration.

A former Department of Justice pardon attorney slammed President Donald Trump on Monday for freeing a billion-dollar Ponzi schemer from federal prison just before Thanksgiving.

The White House confirmed on Monday that Trump commuted the sentence of David Gentile, the former CEO of GPB Capital, who was convicted in May of wire and bank fraud charges, according to a report by CNN. Gentile was just 12 days into his seven-year sentence when Trump commuted it.

President Donald Trump renewed his calls for Republicans to get rid of the Senatorial filibuster on Monday in a meandering social media post where he attacked a former U.S. attorney general.

Trump posted on Truth Social about an interview former Attorney General Eric Holder gave to the Meidas+ Network, where he described the Supreme Court as a "broken institution." Trump described Holder as an "Obama sycophant" and someone "who did so much to hurt our Country, and who weaponized the Obama Administration against the Republican Party (and ME!)"

The Senate's top Democrat scorched Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth during an interview on CNN on Monday evening after the secretary attempted to obfuscate his involvement in the Trump administration's strikes on alleged drug boats in international waters.

Recent reporting from The Washington Post revealed that Hegseth told officials to "kill them all" when asked what should be done to people who have survived the strikes. Hegseth has said the report has "no validity," but several lawmakers have criticized Hegseth's response.
