A journalist revealed on Monday that MAGA's attacks against a rising Democratic star are falling flat — and could backfire on the Republican Party.

Will Pavia, a correspondent for The Times, discussed MAGA's attacks against Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani, who is favored to win the New York City mayoral race against Independent and former mayor Andrew Cuomo, during an interview on Times Radio. President Donald Trump has threatened to withhold federal funding from New York if Mamdani wins, and other MAGA lawmakers have threatened to denaturalize Mamdani, who became a citizen in 2018.

Fox News’ Harris Faulkner snapped at a Democratic voter Monday during a roundtable discussion after they noted that millions of Americans would likely lose health insurance if Democratic lawmakers were to support Republicans’ spending proposals amid the ongoing government shutdown.

Faulkner was hosting a roundtable discussion with both Democratic and Republican voters Monday to discuss “the issues shaping” the upcoming midterm elections, and among the topics discussed was the ongoing government shutdown, sparked by disagreements on government health care subsidies.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) played dumb after President Donald Trump stated Sunday night that he did not know that he had pardoned a crypto billionaire.

During a press conference on Monday, CNN's Manu Raju noted that Trump claimed to "know nothing" about Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, even though the president had pardoned him after his company boosted the Trump family's crypto business.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) publicly broke with President Donald Trump Monday after speaking out against eliminating the filibuster, which Trump has demanded Republicans do in recent days.

Trump ordered Republicans “terminate the filibuster” – a procedural rule in the Senate that allows a member to block a measure that receives less than 60 votes – as recently as Sunday night as a way to circumvent the 60-vote threshold required to adopt a spending bill in the Senate and re-open the government, now on its 34th day as of Monday and just a day away from tying the record for the longest-government shutdown in history.

FBI Director Kash Patel faced backlash Monday after old remarks criticizing his predecessor’s use of an FBI jet resurfaced amid reports he used an agency jet to attend his girlfriend’s music show over the weekend.

On Friday, Patel reportedly used the FBI’s Gulfstream luxury jet to fly from Palm Beach, Florida to Nashville, Tennessee, where his girlfriend – 26-year-old Alexis Wilkins, a country music singer – was performing that night. Patel would go on to fire a 27-year veteran at the FBI the next day after blaming him for leaking his use of the FBI jet to the press, according to reports.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough mocked Republicans for descending into self-parody so "stupid" that "South Park" wouldn't even lampoon it.

The president claimed during an interview with "60 Minutes" that he didn't know who crypto billionaire Changpeng Zhao was, despite pardoning him after his company helped facilitate a $2 billion purchase of a Trump family crypto enterprise, and "Morning Joe" co-host Jonathan Lemire cast doubt on his claims.

CNN data analyst Harry Enten had some grim news for President Donald Trump and his party on Monday, the eve of the first major election night since the 2024 presidential contest.

With governor and legislative races, the New York City mayoral race, a redistricting ballot proposition in California, and many other local contests all over the country set to take place, what happens on Tuesday night could be a clear harbinger of what's to come in the midterm elections, he argued.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) took to Fox Business Monday to defend her conduct last week at the Charleston International Airport, where she reportedly cursed at police officers and TSA agents over the airport’s security measures.

She told the outlet that such “mediocrity” by the airport staff — many of which are not being paid amid the government shutdown — would “not be tolerated.”

President Donald Trump's policies are actively hurting his own base, according to MSNBC's Claire McCaskill, but he's oblivious to their suffering.

The president's trade wars and threats against oil-producing foreign nations, along with his sweeping budget cuts and the ongoing government shutdown, are putting pressure on red states that swept him back into office for a second term, the former Democratic senator told "Morning Joe."

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) heaped praise onto President Donald Trump over the weekend while speaking at the the Republican Jewish Coalition Leadership Summit in Las Vegas, Nevada, — plaudits that quickly derailed into celebrating the administration’s recent wave of state-sanctioned killings.

“I feel good about the Republican Party and where we're going as a nation,” Graham said to an energetic crowd. “We're killing all the right people and we're cutting your taxes! Trump is my favorite president. We've run out of bombs. We didn't run out of bombs in World War II!”

President Donald Trump's apparent "self-dealing" is becoming a political issue for the Republican Party, according to MSNBC's Joe Scarborough.

The president and his family have raked in up to $1 billion since he returned to office in January, according to some estimates, and Trump's sons have reportedly used their father's position for their own benefit in business ventures. But the "Morning Joe" host said this weekend's "Great Gatsby"-themed party at Mar-a-Lago exemplified a growing problem for Republicans.

Sam Stein, managing editor of "The Bulwark," bashed President Donald Trump's Gatsby-themed Halloween party, saying it was an example of the "incredible and sad dichotomy" of the impact of the Trump administration.

On Friday, Trump held a Gilded Age party at his estate in southern Florida, Mar-a-Lago. Reports indicate the event was attended by administration officials including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, as well as high-profile Republican donors and other wealthy individuals.
