It's January 6, so of course, there is chaos in Washington, D.C. ... and this time tensions are flaring at a march memorializing the Capitol Riot ... a fight broke out, and it's all on video.

Profanity-laced insults led to a physical confrontation Tuesday morning at the InterContinental The Willard hotel ... a large brawl ensued after a counter-protestor showed up to disrupt a memorial event honoring Ashli Babbitt and four others who died in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol.

Proud Boys members and J6 convicts organized the event, and they didn't take kindly to a woman who showed up with a megaphone and started calling them "p****."

Check out the footage ... the mob surrounds the counter-protestor, shouting profanities at her and putting middle fingers in her face, and then a woman with an American flag comes over and kicks off the violence.

Stephen Miller said Greenland would "obviously" be better off as a part of the United States while speaking with CNN's Jake Tapper on Monday evening.

Although Tapper asked President Donald Trump's Homeland Security advisor if he'd rule out using military action to take Greenland by force, Miller initially sidestepped the question and pointed to how Trump had been "clear for months" about his desire to take control of the island.

Miller said Greenland should be part of the United States' "overall security apparatus" and said the United States likely wouldn't face any military resistance to taking over Greenland.

Miller then questioned Denmark's right to maintain governance and "assert control" over Greenland.

The island became part of the Danish Kingdom in 1953, and it currently operates as an autonomous territory under the Danish Crown.

Trump first floated the idea of taking control of Greenland during his first term in office, and he told The Atlantic the United States "absolutely" needed control over the island earlier this month.

President Donald Trump's dancing is so unpresidential ... according to his own wife, Melania.

POTUS made the admission during his remarks Tuesday at the House GOP retreat at the Kennedy Center.

In the middle of complaining about female weightlifters, DT went on a tangent about one of the First Lady's pet peeves.

He revealed, "She hates when I dance." According to DT, Melania tells him, "Darling, it's not presidential."

Of course, Donald is convinced people actually like him cutting a rug. While the First Lady tried to explain to him the crowds are "just being nice," he contends that's not true.

2:42 PM PT -- A Hilton spokesperson has given us an update ... saying they have been in contact with hotel management, who "apologized for the actions of their team, which was not in keeping with their policies." The rep adds, "They have taken immediate action to resolve this matter."

The Pentagon has moved to downgrade Senator Mark Kelly's military rank and pay for his involvement in a highly controversial video released last November.

The politician, along with five other Democrat members of Congress, all of whom were former military and intelligence personnel, appeared in a widely circulated video encouraging service members to refuse to follow illegal orders.

The video resulted in widespread reactions from the Trump administration, and the President reposted a comment which apparently called for the Congress members to be hanged, although he later claimed he wasn't advocating for them to be sentenced to death.

Donald Trump reiterated his desire to establish U.S. control over Greenland while speaking to reporters on Air Force One on Sunday.

The President stated the country needed control over Greenland, an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, from what he described as a "standpoint of national security," reports Fox News.

Trump also said Denmark was "not going to be able to do it" without specifying what the country's government would be doing.

Trump's comments were addressed by Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, who issued a press release to urge the president to "stop the threats" against its allies in Denmark.

Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen released a lengthy statement on Sunday and said Trump had to respect the territory's right to autonomy.

Nielsen also wrote the threats of annexation were inappropriate, especially between "close and loyal friends."

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz announced he was dropping his bid for re-election and wouldn't seek a third consecutive term on Monday.

The politician, who has been in office as Minnesota's governor since 2019, shared a statement on his social media accounts to explain his reasoning for dropping out of the gubernatorial race, which he joined last September.

Walz stated he wouldn't be able to devote all of his effort to his re-election campaign while fighting for his own political interests, and said he'd prefer to "focus on the work" and let another politician fill the governor's seat.

Walz said he had "zero regret" about the decision and said he was confident another Democrat would be elected in the future.

He denounced what he described as "political gamesmanship" from Donald Trump and other Republicans and said his political allies would continue to fight back against pressure from the other side of the aisle.

Walz also singled out Trump's "demonizing" of Minnesota's sizable Somali population as an instance of divisiveness being present within the state's politics.

He added he'd likely find ways to make political contributions to Minnesota's government after his term as the state's governor ends next January.

Yep, that grey Nike Tech Fleece jacket and matching joggers retailing at $140 flew off shelves within hours of Donald Trump posting the now-viral Truth Social pic of Maduro being transported on the USS Iwo Jima to NYC on Saturday.

The memes are everywhere online -- Maduro in that tracksuit, fit pics and all, making the rounds online like it’s a full-blown fashion rollout.

Ousted Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, will face justice Monday morning for alleged drug trafficking and other serious crimes — as they are transported from an NYC detention facility to a federal courthouse.

FOX News filmed the couple — wearing handcuffs and shackles — being led by heavily-armed federal agents into a helicopter for the short flight from Brooklyn to lower Manhattan, where they will make their first appearances in court after being indicted.

After the helicopter landed at a heliport, Maduro and Flores were escorted to an armored truck, which drove them to the courthouse.

Colombia could be next up on Donald Trump's hit list.

The president floated the idea Sunday while speaking to a group of reporters aboard Air Force One ... after referring to Colombian President Gustavo Petro as a "sick man" who "likes making cocaine."

The commander-in-chief vowed that Petro would not be "doing it very long" -- referring to cocaine production -- prompting a reporter to ask if there would be a U.S. military operation in Colombia. Trump bluntly replied, "It sounds good to me."

Two weeks ago, Trump made an initial threat to Petro, telling him to "watch his ass" and calling him an “illegal drug leader.” Following the arrest of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, Petro said he's not worried about anything happening to him.

President Trump and Elon Musk have repaired their broken relationship ... the two giants were seen together at a Saturday night dinner in Mar-a-Lago.

Video surfaced on X showing Trump walking through a crowd of people in his Palm Beach, Florida, estate with First Lady Melania and Musk following right behind him. The three are smiling and greeting other people as they all prepare for some chow.

This is a far cry from where Trump and Musk had been last year when they got into a public spat over a large spending bill championed by the commander-in-chief.
