FBI officials in the dark about new 'terror group' targeted by Bondi's DOJ: reporter

An announcement by Attorney General Pam Bondi’s Department of Justice of breaking up what she described as “what would have been a massive and horrific terror plot” in California received a small amount of skepticism on MS NOW Monday afternoon.

Earlier in the morning, the Donald Trump appointee announced on X: “The Turtle Island Liberation Front—a far-left, pro-Palestine, anti-government, and anti-capitalist group—was preparing to conduct a series of bombings against multiple targets in California beginning on New Year’s Eve. The group also planned to target ICE agents and vehicles. This was an incredible effort by our U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and the @FBI to ensure Americans can live in peace. We will continue to pursue these terror groups and bring them to justice.”

The cost-of-living has emerged as one of the biggest political headwinds facing Donald Trump in his second term, and according to a report from ABC News, his leadership has sent one particular cost soaring that will hit close to home, literally, for many: energy bills.

Citing new findings from a Democrat-aligned climate advocacy group, Climate Power, ABC News on Monday reported that energy bills across the US have increased by 13 percent since Trump returned to the White House in January. This analysis was based on data released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Legal analyst says DOJ case against Dem lawmaker is collapsing under its own cover-up

A legal analyst said the Justice Department’s prosecution of Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) is unraveling after newly released texts showed DOJ officials knew she did not assault a federal officer during a protest against immigration enforcement in Newark. On her podcast The Breakdown, Allison Gill said the department’s failure to turn over exculpatory evidence — including video that contradicts the charging document — amounts to a damaging cover-up that could sink the case. Gill called the withheld evidence a “case killer,” arguing the facts now undercut the Trump DOJ’s claims stemming from McIver’s arrest.

'This is a concern': GOP strategist Trump’s 'bubble' creating massive problems for party

President Donald Trump's second administration is radically different from his first. When he was in the White House before, Trump famously clashed with a long list of traditional conservatives he appointed — from then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to then-National Security Adviser John Bolton. But in his current administration, Trump is surrounded by MAGA loyalists who tell him what he wants to hear instead of challenging him.

As a result, Trump's second presidency is often described as a MAGA "bubble."

Rob Reiner warned of democracy’s peril months before he and his wife were found dead

Actor-director Rob Reiner warned of mounting threats to free speech and democracy during a CNN appearance in September — just three months before he and his wife, Michelle Singer, were found dead with stab wounds in their Los Angeles home, in a homicide now under investigation. There is no indication the deaths are connected to his remarks, which followed ABC and Disney’s suspension of Jimmy Kimmel after comments about a right-wing activist. Reiner said speaking out against President Donald Trump and FCC Chair Brendan Carr carried risks, describing the moment as a “war for our democracy” and accusing Trump of trampling constitutional norms.
