Fringe right-wing conspiracy theorist Dan Bongino wiped away tears on one of his final broadcasts after accepting the job of FBI deputy director from President Donald Trump.

During his Monday podcast titled "Cutesy Time is Over," Bongino confirmed that he would serve as the FBI's second in command.

Republican Rep. Pete Sessions (TX) held a town hall over the weekend where he faced off against angry constituents. But when he spoke about it to CNN on Monday, Sessions claimed it was actually "quite civil."

Sessions held a town hall in Trinity, Texas, a small rural community in the eastern part of the state with a population of a little less than 2,500 residents. A whopping 83.2% of the county voted for President Donald Trump in 2024.

Fox News host Bill Hemmer challenged Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy after he slashed nearly 400 jobs at the Federal Aviation Administration amid airplane disasters.

During a Monday interview, Duffy said he had instructed his employees to email Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to explain why they should keep their jobs.

On Monday, Housing and Urban Development employees were forced back into their offices. As they entered the building, however, all the televisions showed an AI video of President Donald Trump worshiping Elon Musk's feet.

The video appeared on every television screen on every floor of the building, reported independent journalist Marisa Kabas on Blue Sky.

CNN's Harry Enten highlights some ominous polling data for Donald Trump just over a month into his second term.

Americans have soured on the state of the economy and they don't see any sign that things will improve, which the senior analyst said could be a warning sign about the president's approval rating going forward.

Following a weekend of Donald Trump administration officials taking extreme measures to avoid saying Russia is to blame for the war in Ukraine, the panel on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" took aim at Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for mealy-mouthed side-stepping of the issue during an appearance on Fox News.

After sharing a super clip of key Trump officials ignoring direct questions about Russian President Vladimir Putin's decision to launch an illegal invasion into their neighbor's territory, co-host Scarborough led the Hegseth put down.

When pressed on Fox, Hegseth who touted his background as a non-apologetic "warfighter" to land the Pentagon job, suddenly went soft.

A bomb threat that allegedly came from the Proud Boys interrupted a summit of conservatives who oppose President Donald Trump.

Minister and democracy advocate Reed Howard shared an announcement about the threat at Sunday's Principle's First Summit, which was set to include speakers like former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) and former Trump administration official John Bolton.

Fox News host Mike Emanuel apologized to Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) after he repeated a profane attack on Elon Musk to the senator.

During a Sunday interview, Emanuel noted that Sen. Tina Smith (D-MN) called Musk the "ultimate dick boss" after he demanded emails from every federal worker to justify their jobs.

Fox News host Howard Kurtz pressed Jason Miller, a senior adviser to President Donald Trump's transition team, after the commander-in-chief wrongly blamed Ukraine for Russia's invasion.

"President, as you know, has gotten absolutely hammered, not just by liberal journalists, but by National Review and the Wall Street Journal editorial page for blaming Russia for the invasion, blaming Ukraine, excuse me, for the invasion of Russia," Kurtz told Miller in a Sunday interview. "How can you defend that when the Kremlin sent troops and missiles into a sovereign country with the aim of wiping it off the map?"

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) demanded the firing of locksmiths at national parks even if they were the only people who could save visitors "locked in restrooms."

Jordan made the remarks on Fox News Sunday after host Shannon Bream noted that government cuts recommended by billionaire Elon Musk were causing "entire offices" to be "wiped out."

NBC host Kristen Welker clashed with Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) after billionaire Elon Musk convinced President Donald Trump's government to slash thousands of jobs.

During a Sunday interview on Meet the Press, Welker confronted Mullin with news from his state.

Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger butted heads with a GOP strategist after she defended DOGE head Elon Musk mass firings of federal workers regardless of how important their jobs are for American taxpayers.

Reacting to Musk firing off a post on X on Saturday telling federal workers they need to respond to an email and list five government tasks they completed last week or face being terminated, Republican strategist Kristin Davison applauded the "creative tension" the billionaire has created with civil servants.

After she noted it was about time a reduction of government workers was implemented, Kinzinger pointed out that Musk's methods are also eliminating jobs that most Americans would agree should not be touched.

"The government is all of a sudden going to find that it has an age problem and then when people's Social Security checks or, as a veteran, they're firing people at the VA hotline, the suicide prevention hotline, which, by the way, three years ago or so, we plussed up because too many veterans were killing themselves. Now all of a sudden we're cutting that because we want to save a few dollars," Kinzinger explained.

"I'm all for it but this is the wrong way of doing it," the former Republican lawmaker added. "And Elon Musk smiling and giggling on the stage of CPAC with a chainsaw? That is going to come back in every commercial against every Republican candidate about, 'Yeah, you didn't get your Social Security check on time or, you know, veterans that have taken their own life.' This guy was laughing about it on the stage with a chainsaw."

"Well, I mean, you know, you could say we got to cut smartly," Davison interjected. "Then why haven't we done it for the last 30 years? Republicans, I mean, when you were in Congress ––."

"Do you want to do it dumbly?' Kinzinger interrupted.

"No, I think Elon Musk is a disruptor –- it's what he does, " she countered. "He's not part of government. It's to break glass and change. He's already said, we're going to––."

"But there is a legal way to do it and there's an Elon way" the ex-GOP lawmaker interrupted again. "Elon is, I mean, they've been stopped at every end by the courts by the way. And then when they haven't, they're sitting there laying off probation –– if you think laying off all the probationary employees, including people that have moved up and now are in a different spot, is a smart way to go about government, I mean, it's fine. I'm not upset about that. I'm just telling you in a year or two we're going to pay the price for that."
