President-elect Donald Trump's border czar, former Immigration and Customs Enforcement chief Tom Homan, doubled down once again on his threats to arrest Democratic lawmakers who interfere with mass deportation activity on the right-wing Benny Johnson Show on Monday.

"It's a felony. A felony we will prosecute," Homan told Johnson. "I'm not going to be bullied. I'm not going away. I'm not going to be silenced. We are coming. You're not going to stop us."

Rep. James Comer (R-KY), chairman of the House Oversight Committee, said his constituents would use their "Second Amendment capabilities" to shoot down drones flying in Kentucky.

During a Monday interview on Newsmax, host Chris Salcedo told Comer, with no evidence, that "incompetent boobs in charge of the United States" may have allowed a nuclear device into the country.

An expert on school shootings, former NYPD inspector Paul Mauro, argued on Fox News that school shootings were a "fact of life" and "all we can do is pray" following deaths in Madison, Wisconsin.

As news was breaking on Monday that at least three people, including the suspected shooter, were reportedly dead at Abundant Life Christian School, Fox News asked Mauro to comment on the shooting.

President-elect Donald Trump, in a wide-ranging press conference from Mar-a-Lago on Monday, declared he doesn't like vaccine mandates for childhood diseases, blamed Democrats for them, and appeared to be unaware that every state in the nation has childhood vaccine mandates that include many if not most or all of the CDC's recommended vaccination schedule of 15 immunizations from birth to age 16. These vaccines protect children and the general population from serious and often contagious and deadly diseases, including polio, smallpox, measles, mumps, rubella, seasonal flu, and COVID-19.

While declaring he supports the polio vaccine, Trump appeared to veer off into discussing school closings when asked about childhood vaccine mandates.

During a press conference Monday, President-elect Donald Trump made a number of assertions that left viewers in giggles.

While discussing the world leaders he'd spoken to after his election, Trump confessed to being shocked at the number of countries in the world.

CNN's Daniel Dale fact-checked Donald Trump's latest news conference — and determined the president-elect told a lot of lies.

Trump held the event — the first since he was elected — Monday from his home at Mar-a-Lago, where he discussed his views on vaccines, tariffs and other policy issues. Dale highlighted some of his false or misleading claims.

President-elect Donald Trump revealed plans to sue pollster J. Ann Selzer and the Des Moines Register for "election interference" after a November poll showed him losing in Iowa.

During a Monday press conference, Trump was asked if he would continue to sue media outlets after settling a lawsuit with ABC News over the incorrect assertion that he had been found liable for raping writer E. Jean Carroll. Instead, the jury found that he had sexually abused Carroll.

The president-elect held a press conference Monday at Mar-a-Lago during which he lashed out at a CNN reporter who asked how he plans to respond to an increasingly hostile Iran.

"Would you be in support of pre-emptive strikes on Iran's nuclear targets?" the reporter asked.

The 2020 pandemic resulted in many businesses moving employees work from home — and some have yet to return to their office spaces. President-elect Donald Trump said Monday that included 49,000 federal workers — and he vowed to fire them unless they come back.

"If people don't come back to work into the office, they will be dismissed," he said at a Mar-a-Lago press conference. "Somebody in the Biden administration gave a five-year waiver so that, for five years people don't have to come back into the office. It involved 49,000 people."

Steve Bannon, the “far-right political provocateur,” strategist, podcaster, and longtime Trump advisor, over the weekend suggested that the President-elect should pursue a third term—despite constitutional experts affirming that the U.S. Constitution explicitly prohibits anyone from being elected to more than two terms. Bannon is not alone. Others, including Trump himself, have floated the idea of a third term.

"Donald John Trump is going to raise his hand on a King James Bible and take the oath of office, his third victory, his third victory and his second term," Bannon, who served four months in jail after a jury found him guilty of contempt of Congress, said at the New York Young Republicans' gala on Sunday. "And, and the viceroy Mike Davis tells me, since it doesn't actually say 'consecutive,' that I don't know, maybe we do it again in '28. Are you guys down for that? Trump '28, come on, man!"

President-elect Donald Trump made demonizing even legal immigrant guest workers, most notably Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, the centerpiece of his successful 2024 campaign.

CNN on Monday reported, however, that Trump's businesses have been hiring such workers in record numbers in the last year.

Donald Trump has already spooked the markets, according to MSNBC's Joe Scarborough — and his proposals could cut into the stock market's gains.

Economists said in a recent survey that they believe the Federal Reserve will take a more cautious approach to interest rate cuts due to fears that Trump policies would lead to higher inflation, and the "Morning Joe" host said the president-elect's nominees for high-ranking positions have already destabilized market forces.
