A GOP lawmaker said Monday that President Donald Trump's actions to control economic data remind him of a former soviet leader.

Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) joined CNN's "The Lead" with fill-in host Phil Mattingly to discuss the impact of Trump's decision to fire Erika McEntarfer, the Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner, on Friday. Bacon is one of several Republicans who have spoken out against the move.

Rep. Mike Flood (R-NE) was inundated with shouting and fury Monday evening as he tried to hold a town hall in Lincoln.

It's the second time Flood has held a town hall that was taken over by angry constituents, after his attempt in March.

Attorney General Pam Bondi's order to convene a grand jury to investigate Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's claim that former President Barack Obama committed treason doesn't make any sense, former federal prosecutor Elie Honig told CNN's Phil Mattingly on Monday.

And the allegations are so nebulous, Honig said he doesn't really understand what misconduct is being alleged.

Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears (R) has just made her already tough gubernatorial campaign worse with her recent blowup on CNN, Politico's Jonathan Martin wrote in a post to X on Monday.

Sears, who has struggled against Democratic Rep. Abigail Spanberger as national Republicans debate whether to abandon her altogether, drew headlines last week for a testy exchange with congressional reporter Manu Raju, who asked her to weigh in on the controversies surrounding fellow GOP nominee John Reid, and federal layoffs initiated by the Trump administration that have hit Virginia especially hard.

MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace couldn't help but notice that President Donald Trump and his administration spent the weekend dedicated to the ongoing effort to distract from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.

At the top of her Monday show, Wallace proposed a riddle: "What do windmills, a radio show host, a former American president, and the Washington Commanders have in common?"

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) complained that President Donald Trump was serving his "biggest donors" instead of listening to "America First" supporters like herself.

During a Monday interview on Real America's Voice, host Eric Bolling asked Greene why she had recently been critical of the Republican Party.

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones blurted out the N-word while joking about training animals to be Nazis.

On Monday, Jones spoke to Mark Meechan, a Scottish YouTube star who was convicted of being "grossly offensive" after he taught his dog to give Nazi salutes.

Far-right activist Laura Loomer has her sights trained on new targets she wants to root out of President Donald Trump's administration.

The MAGA influencer is a trusted adviser to the president, even if not all of his allies appreciate her input, but she has claimed credit for ousting some high-profile administration officials.

MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk accused Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) of wanting to "eliminate the white population" — and said that men shouldn't date her.

During a discussion about Texas redistricting efforts on Monday, Kirk argued that Crockett was not wife material.

President Donald Trump lashed out at Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) as she slammed him in a CNBC interview for firing Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) administrator Erika McEntarfer over a poor jobs report.

"Well, look, you know, you get bad data, you kill the messenger, right?" Warren told CNBC on Monday. "And that's Donald Trump because he thinks he can bend reality. If he can just tell a different story, then everyone will have to believe his story."

Newsmax judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano insisted that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) did not have the authority to expel Democrats who fled the state to avoid a vote on redistricting.

In a statement on Sunday, Abbott said he would initiate the process to remove Democrats from office if they did not return by Monday afternoon, thereby giving Republicans the quorum necessary to pass a new redistricting map.
