CNN's Anderson Cooper was amazed on Monday after he realized a pardoned rioter who participated in the Jan. 6 insurrection may have predicted that he would eventually get a payoff from the Trump administration.

Cooper recounted the case against Edward Kelly, who was one of the first rioters to breach the Capitol that day, and another rioter named Andrew Paul Johnson. Kelly was convicted in 2024 for plotting to kill the FBI agents who investigated him after Jan. 6, and is serving a life sentence for those crimes.

Megyn Kelly isn't buying what the Trump administration is selling on Cuba — and she's mincing no words.

The conservative host used her Monday podcast to torch the administration over a weekend Axios report claiming Cuba has acquired more than 300 military drones and discussed attacking Guantanamo Bay, US naval vessels, and Key West.

A legal expert ripped the Supreme Court for "beclowning itself" after some of the justices entertained MAGA rage-bait during a recent oral argument session.

Steve Vladek, a law professor at Georgetown University, said during the most recent episode of "The Court of History" podcast on the Legal AF Network that some of the court's justices seemed to be more focused on policy issues than interpreting the statutory question at hand in a case called Watson v. R.N.C. The case is about whether federal election law permits mail-in ballots from being counted after election day, and the Supreme Court's decision could have a major impact on the upcoming midterm elections.

San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria was met with a screaming heckler before he could start talking at Monday evening's press conference on the deadly shooting at the Islamic Center, which is currently being investigated as a hate crime.

"This is a [expletive] direct result of your leadership!" shouted the heckler. "Our Muslim brothers and sisters have been talking to you for how long? You haven't [expletive] listened to them, Todd. Just like you did with ICE."

A Florida congressman went on Real America's Voice on Monday and unleashed a kitchen-sink attack on fellow Republican Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) — the latest GOP lawmaker to fall in line behind President Donald Trump's all-out campaign to oust the libertarian-leaning Kentuckian in Tuesday's primary.

Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL), appearing with host Eric Bolling, hurled allegations ranging from ties to Iran to sexual misconduct involving an ex-girlfriend — and didn't stop there.

Multiple people are reportedly dead in a shooting at the San Diego Islamic Center, according to MS NOW's Ayman Mohyeldin, citing a report directly from the leader of the mosque.

Based on a preliminary investigation, police believe that two men found near the mosque — dead from apparent self-inflicted gunshot wounds — were the suspects, two law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation told CNN. Authorities are still trying to determine the details surrounding the shooting, the officials said. Police said that the threat was "neutralized" after the shooting.

Jeanine Pirro was in the middle of a tough-on-crime press conference Monday when a reporter blindsided her with a question about a nearly $1.8 billion fund that could send taxpayer money to the same kind of rioters she'd spent the morning condemning.

The U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia had just finished threatening to prosecute the parents of DC teens involved in violent "takeovers" — including a chair-throwing brawl that tore through a Navy Yard Chipotle Saturday night — when a reporter pivoted to the Justice Department's newly announced "Anti-Weaponization Fund."

President Donald Trump's Treasury secretary, Scott Bessent, was briefly stopped by Chinese security during the administration's trip to the country last week, The Daily Beast reported on Monday.

"Footage circulating online appears to show Scott Bessent being stopped outside the Great Hall of the People, one of the Chinese Communist Party’s chief government buildings in Beijing, ahead of a state banquet held in Trump’s honor at the venue on Thursday," said the report. "The guards seem to be pointing out that Bessent isn’t wearing what was likely an entry or clearance pin on his suit after blocking him at the door. After a brief conversation, he is handed an item by his aides and then allowed into the building."

Vice President JD Vance has a fashion confession — and it involves a pair of shamrock socks, the Irish prime minister, and a very unamused Donald Trump.

Speaking in Kansas City on Monday, Vance regaled the crowd with a cautionary tale about dressing for the boss after complimenting Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins on his blazer.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell says the Minnesota Republican Party has shut him out of a major gubernatorial debate — and he's not staying quiet about it.

"They have a big GOP endorsement where they have this big debate, and I'm not allowed to come," Lindell told Steve Bannon on his War Room podcast. "They've shut me out because the establishment doesn't want me, Steve."
