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.

Fox News host Dana Perino flagged a warning sign for Republicans in upcoming elections on Monday during the network's show, "The Five."

The panel discussed the Democratic Party's chances of flipping Tennessee's 7th Congressional District in an upcoming election, a seat that is deep in Trump country. Perino, a former press secretary during George W. Bush's administration, warned that Democrats could over-perform in the district, which would continue to feed the party's momentum going into the 2026 midterm.

Advocates are sounding the alarm over what they describe as an "existential" threat to health care, one that could give the Trump administration leeway to go after humanitarian groups, journalists, and protesters, according to a new report.

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court will hear arguments in a case to determine whether a Crisis Pregnancy Center in New Jersey misled customers about its services. Crisis Pregnancy Centers work to persuade expecting mothers to choose adoption over abortion, and are given wide protections under the First Amendment.

A lawyer representing the mother of a Trump administration official's nephew, who is currently in the custody of immigration agents, pushed back on claims made about the nature of their relationship, according to a new report.

Bruna Ferreira, the mother of Trump Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt's nephew, and her son were arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials as part of the administration's broad crackdown on illegal immigration. Ferreira, a Brazilian national, has lived in the country for years and was in the process of getting her green card at the time of her arrest, according to a report by The Irish Star.

President Donald Trump's strikes on suspected drug trafficking vessels, apart from being illegal, appear to have been executed with no proper planning, retired Rear Adm. William Baumgartner told MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace on "Deadline: White House."

This comes after explosive reporting that military officials fired on survivors of at least one strike, an act considered a war crime under both U.S. and international law, which has sent the White House and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth scrambling to alternatively justify and point fingers for the action.

President Donald Trump appears to have concocted a new ploy to buy votes for Republicans during the 2026 midterm election, a scheme that one columnist described as "brazen" in a new column published on Monday.

Jamez Bovard, a columnist and author, argued in a new column for The New York Post that Trump's idea of sending $2,000 "tariff rebate" checks to American households is a brazen attempt to buy votes ahead of the midterm. He also argued that the idea seems to contradict Trump's promises to cut government spending, a promise that he articulated in the creation of the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency.

A group of high-profile conservative voices is calling on President Donald Trump to ditch a controversial policy that has allowed tech titans to train their artificial intelligence models on copyrighted materials without paying for them, according to a new report.

Thirteen top conservatives, including former Trump advisor Steve Bannon and conservative strategist Mike Davis, penned a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and Michael Kratsios, director of Trump's Office of Science and Technology Policy, calling on the administration to revise its stance on the "fair use" doctrine.

Longtime Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) was reportedly considering a run for Congress in Texas if the Supreme Court upholds new district maps in California.

The new map approved by California voters would eliminate Issa's San Diego-area seat if the Supreme Court upholds it. On Monday, Punchbowl News reported that Issa was eyeing a seat near Dallas if the ruling does not go his way.

President Donald Trump issued a plea Sunday to Tennesseans in the state’s 7th Congressional District to support the GOP candidate in the race, a plea that the president pinned to the top of his social media account and one that represents a “complete political collapse,” according to one political commentator.

The congressional district had been held by former Rep. Mark Green (R-TN) since 2018, until his resignation in July, which he said was due to his securing a job in the private sector. Green’s resignation triggered a special election, and one analyst suspected it would be an easy win for Republicans, given Trump’s 2024 victory in the district by 22 points.

Almost two months after Donald Trump visited Walter Reed Army Hospital for a presidential physical, with the White House later disclosing he underwent “advanced imaging,” questions have been raised over whether he underwent an MRI and, if so, why.

The president has talked openly about having an MRI, but has been cagey about what part of his body was imaged and why, which answered the overriding question, but deepened the mystery.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt attempted to put to rest questions about President Donald Trump's recent MRI after a physical.

Following Trump's admission that he had "no idea" which body parts were scanned, Leavitt provided additional information at Monday's White House press briefing.
