Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-PA) told MSNBC's "The Weeknight" on Monday that he thoroughly rejects the Senate shutdown deal, which extends food assistance funding and reverses the Trump administration's firings but doesn't deliver on the key sticking point of the entire last few weeks, which was the extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies that are going away for millions of people.

Even so, he added, Democrats are emerging from this standoff in better shape and stronger unity than the GOP, for a key reason.

President Donald Trump slammed a New York Times reporter on Monday during an interview on Fox News over a story the outlet ran about the president's thoughts on whether he will get into Heaven or not.

Trump joined Fox News host Laura Ingraham for a one-on-one interview on "The Ingraham Angle," where the two discussed Trump's ballroom, the government shutdown, and Trump's chances of getting into Heaven.

The deal to end the government shutdown, which is currently the longest one in American history, revealed a "sad truth" about the state of the Republican Party, according to one analyst.

On Sunday, 10 Democrats announced they plan to break ranks and support a deal to end the shutdown. The deal includes voting on a series of short-term funding bills to keep the government open into January, and an agreement to vote on the expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies in December, according to reports.

President Donald Trump lashed out at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) after the MAGA loyalist argued the cost of living had gone up since he took office.

During an Oval Office event on Monday, one reporter told Trump that Greene "would rather see you focused on nonstop domestic policy meetings here at the White House instead of nonstop foreign policy meetings."

Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) did everything he could on Monday morning to avoid answering whether Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) should remain in his leadership position or be forced out.

Although Schumer did not join the seven Democrats and one independent who voted to assist Republicans with ending the government shutdown, he has taken a beating from progressives and members of his own party for allowing the schism, which has infuriated Democrats.

The decision by some Democrats to embrace a deal to end a government shutdown without a guarantee of extending health care subsidies shocked conservative Charlie Kirk Show host Andrew Kolvet.

"They feel like they had all this momentum in New Jersey, Virginia," Kolvet told conservative pundit Ryan Girdusky on Monday. "So why concede any points? Why give in? Why open the government back up?"

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffrires (D-NY) torched the eight Senate Democrats who caved to Republicans Sunday night in agreeing to support a spending bill that doesn’t include an extension to health care subsidies.

Speaking with attorney and political commentator Aaron Parnas Monday, Jeffries said that he believed the dissenting Democrats had been led by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), whose own daughter – A Democratic congressional candidate – broke with her over the issue.

CNN's Harry Enten presented new data showing that Americans aren't buying President Donald Trump's assurances about the economy.

The president insists on social media there's "almost no inflation" and that "prices are way down," and he's even floated sending out tariff rebate checks, but Enten told "CNN News Central" that polling shows the public isn't feeling great about their personal spending power.

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), one of the eight moderate Senate Democrats that had agreed to cooperate with Republicans and cave in the government shutdown fight, defended her decision Monday by insisting that GOP leadership’s promise to hold a vote on extending health care subsidies was sufficient to warrant crossing her party’s leadership.

Appearing on Fox News, Shaheen was asked if she had any doubts that the Senate – which has yet to vote on a spending bill that would end the shutdown – may fail to ultimately reopen the government given the pressure on Senate Democrats to hold firm in their demands to secure funding for health care subsidies.

The white glove treatment being extended to convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell at a minimum security prison in Texas should prompt an investigation into the facility’s warden, suggested MSNBC’s Ken Dilanian on Monday morning.

Reacting to an NBC report and a letter from Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) that revealed that the former associate of both pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump is being given privileges that sound more like an extended resort stay and less like criminal detention, the justice and intelligence correspondent admitted he had never seen anything like it.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced a new series of military strikes Monday that killed at least six people as part of the Trump administration’s purported efforts to combat drug trafficking, sparking outrage over what critics have dubbed the administration’s “extrajudicial executions.”

At the direction of President Donlad Trump, the U.S. military conducted strikes on two sea vessels in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, vessels that Hegseth alleged were “operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations.”
