Fox News host Sandra Smith pressed White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt about whether or not billionaire Elon Musk was an employee of the Department of Government Efficiency, despite President Donald Trump repeatedly claiming his ally heads up the agency.

In a court filing on Monday, the White House said that Musk was not legally connected to DOGE in any way. Instead, he was described as a "Senior Advisor to the President."

Pro-MAGA television host Trish Regan criticized the White House after it claimed that Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) allegedly discovered that "tens of millions" of dead people were receiving Social Security checks.

"I've been fighting fake news reporters all day long here in the Washington, D.C. swamp who are trying to fear-monger the American people into believing that this administration is going after their hard-earned tax dollars and their hard-earned Social Security checks," White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Monday.

Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) insisted that Pete Buttigieg "has no right to say anything" about plane crashes — despite his experience as the nation's former secretary of transportation.

Mullin lashed out at the former transportation secretary in a Tuesday Fox News interview after Buttigieg demanded to know how many FAA personnel President Donald Trump had fired before a plane crash on Monday.

Pro-MAGA host Bobby McNeily argued that President Donald Trump was a sign of the End Times predicted in the Bible's Book of Revelation.

During RSBN's Presidents' Day broadcast, co-host Mathew Alvarez mused about how Trump had said that Jesus Christ was the only person more famous than him.

Alina Habba, an aide to President Donald Trump and his former lawyer, falsely claimed that former President Joe Biden's Department of Justice prosecuted New York City Mayor Eric Adams for opposing sanctuary city policy instead of charges related to corruption.

During a Monday interview on Fox News, host Kayleigh McEnany told Habba that Adams had denied that the Trump administration dropped the charges against him after he offered to help with the White House's anti-immigrant agenda.

The Washington Post canceled plans to run a front-and back-page advertisement that would have earned the paper $115,000 — and ran straight into fresh fury.

The ad, reportedly sponsored by the watchdog group Common Cause, demanded that President Donald Trump fire Elon Musk, who is working as a special government employee endeavoring to slash spending, and purging federal government workers.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) downplayed concerns about billionaire Elon Musk's free access to government databases and private information like Social Security numbers.

During a Monday podcast, host Ryan Girdusky asked Greene if her DOGE subcommittee would examine "concerns over federal data" that have been expressed by Democrats and some Republicans.

J.D. Vance and Elon Musk were among the MAGA leaders to weigh in on a CBS News interview this weekend.

Margaret Brennan of CBS News, who butted heads with Vance during a debate during the 2024 presidential election, interviewed Secretary of State Marco Rubio Sunday.

MAGA rocker Ted Nugent proclaimed recently that "the good Blacks" had left the Democratic Party.

During his Friday Real America's Voice program, Nugent opened by announcing the show had been sponsored by Wood Rocket's air freshener in the shape of a Black middle finger.

CNN's Kaitlan Collins on Sunday hit back at the conservative New York Post over its reporting about her.

The Post recently reported that Collins, a past target of Donald Trump, "deleted a post promoting Luigi Mangione's defense fund after backlash."

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) defended the so-called young tech bros staffing Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) by comparing them to the "greatest generation" of American soldiers who sacrificed in World War II.

During a Sunday interview, Fox News host Kevin Corke pushed Burchett to agree that DOGE was making worthwhile cuts to government.

CBS host Margaret Brennan grilled Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) about whether he thought President Donald Trump was "winning" when he flattered Russian President Vladimir Putin, who she described as a "brutal dictator."

"Vladimir Putin, it sounds like you would agree, is an accused war criminal," Brennan told Crenshaw in a Sunday interview. "He is a dictator. There is a warrant out for his arrest, as you know."

Former Republican National Committee (RNC) Chair Reince Priebus downplayed President Donald Trump's suggestion that anything he did was legal — including violating the U.S. Constitution — as long as he "saves the country."

Trump made the remarks during a Saturday post on Truth Social: "He who saves his Country does not violate any Law."
