Right-wing pundit Tucker Carlson, who made his name on Fox News before he was fired three years ago, said he is leaving the Republican Party as he diverges further from the GOP establishment. “I’m out,” he said on the Can’t Be Censored podcast. “And if I’m out, then I think a lot of other people […]
President Trump on Monday said that a 10-year prison sentence for the destruction of the newly renovated reflecting pool and grass on the National Mall will be "fully enforced," threatening the left-wing vandals defacing the national monuments in DC. President Trump undertook the project to restore the filthy green water basin, built in the 1920s, which has been marred by issues, including sinking and leaking into the swamp beneath.

Outbound Senator John Cornyn is getting candid about Donald Trump.The former GOP whip described the instability fueled by the White House in a Semafor interview published Monday, lamenting about how talking with the president isn’t “particularly useful” because “he can and will” flip his opinion depending on whoever he last spoke to.“The president seems to revel in chaos, which is so different from any other leader that I’ve ever seen. I don’t know about you, but I like to minimize the chaos in my life,” Cornyn told Semafor. “He just seems to revel in it. We’ve seen even recent evidence of it on the [Director of National Intelligence].”Cornyn was referring to Trump’s sudden cancellation of a Senate confirmation hearing for Jay Clayton—the president’s pick to run the Office of National Intelligence—via a Truth Social post mere hours before the hearing was set to take place last week.Trump tapped Clayton earlier this month as DNI in place of acting Director Bill Pulte.Pulte’s leadership had sparked a maelstrom in Congress. Democrats refused to renew FISA Section 702, a federal spy bill, until Pulte was replaced by someone with legitimate national security experience, as the position requires by law.Clayton, unfortunately, does not satisfy that requirement either. The former law professor and corporate crisis management counsel has no national security experience to bring to the role.Yet rather than quell the furor, Trump opted to make the stalemate even more difficult for his congressional allies by tacking his dead-in-the-water voter ID bill, the Save America Act, onto negotiations over the lapsed spy statute.Cornyn has become a more vocal critic of the president since he lost his primary runoff last month to Trump’s preferred candidate, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.Cornyn’s race was a gamble and a loss for the GOP: One of the party’s most prolific fundraisers, Cornyn had done much to support other Republican candidates over the course of his 24-year legislative career, bringing in more than $400 million for auxiliary races. The lost cash flow, paired with Trump’s waning popularity and dismal economic offerings, could bode poorly for the Republican Party come November.
The US vice-president says a great deal of progress has been made after the first round of talks between the US and Iran.
Vice President JD Vance, as he departed Switzerland on Monday, said "a lot of good progress" was accomplished during negotiations with Iran on Sunday, setting up a path to a final deal and permanent settlement. Vance arrived in Switzerland at around 6 am local time on Sunday, where he joined Special Envoys to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, to meet with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, the Iranian Speaker of the Parliament, Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, and mediators from Qatar and Pakistan.

Critics pounced on Vice President JD Vance Monday over what some alleged to be “operational security” failing captured on camera during the ongoing U.S.-Iran negotiations in Switzerland.Vance was photographed Sunday working on a laptop while sitting beside Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, who in the photograph is seen gesturing and looking directly at the laptop screen. With Qatar not being a signatory to the U.S.-Iran tentative peace deal, some critics, such as Travis Akers, a retired U.S. Navy intelligence officer, argued that Vance may have breached standard protocols relating to data security.“This photo was published [by] the Prime Minister of Qatar, Vice President JD Vance and Jared Kushner. What’s the problem?” Akers wrote in a social media post on X to his nearly 180,000 followers. “Giving a foreign leader visual access to a [United States government] laptop, while using someone else’s [Common Access Card] to log in. Pure incompetence at every turn.”Fred Guttenberg, a gun-safety advocate whose daughter was killed in the 2018 Parkland school shooting, echoed Akers’ assessment.“Incompetence at every step of the way,” Guttenberg wrote in a social media post on X to his more than 460,000 followers. “America is less safe and less secure because of this administration.”Takaya Suzuki, an assistant professor at Tohoku University in Japan, sarcastically invoked the rallying cry "But Hillary's emails" – a reference to the email controversy that dogged Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign and became a fixation of conservative critics.And Dave Vorland, a former Biden administration appointee, called on voters to send a message regarding Vance’s alleged security breach at the ballot box in November.“Yes, this is all true and we should expect and demand better,” Vorland wrote in a social media post on X. “But that needs to come at the ballot box, we already knew that a Trump Administration would be terrible at data security and operational security.”This photo was published of the Prime Minister of Qatar, Vice President JD Vance and Jared Kushner.
