Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is making a big mistake in his soon-to-be-announced bid for the White House — a mistake also made by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) when he tried to run in 2016, said former GOP aide Tim Miller in the latest episode of his "Not My Party" feature in The Bulwark on Monday.

"[M]ost critically, he’s advancing a far-right legislative agenda in Florida that he thinks will appeal to a GOP primary electorate," said Miller. "In Florida, Ron’s changing the fifteen-week abortion ban so that it goes into effect after six weeks. Implementing constitutional carry, which allows people to pack heat without training, a background check, or a license. Vastly expanding the use of the death penalty. Banning drag queen story hour. Expanding the Don’t Say Gay bill all the way through high school. And getting millions in the budget to fly more illegal migrants to blue states in order to troll Joe Biden." And through all this, he's engaged in a legally perilous fight with Disney, "forever enraged that they had the gall to criticize his anti-gay bills and put a girl-girl kiss in the Buzz Lightyear movie."

Accused Allen, Texas shooter Mauricio Garcia, who was killed by police after a massacre that murdered eight people, was reportedly a follower of white supremacist and neo-Nazi ideology — but also belonged to a number of other extremist movements.

This isn't a one-off, argued former FBI agent Clint Watts on MSNBC's "The ReidOut" Monday — indeed, he said, young extremists are increasingly developing their own unique brands of hate from a mix of different ideologies.

Clips of Donald Trump's deposition in the E. Jean Carroll case are still the topic of conversation as the trial wraps up. Tuesday, the jury will return to get instructions and begin its deliberations.

Speaking about the case to MSNBC host Ari Melber, civil rights attorney Nancy Erika Smith explained that the reason that the case was able to be brought in the first place is that legislators recognized that "women have been failed by the system when it comes to sexual assault."

The latest mass shooting at the mall in Allen, Texas, left even some gun owners demanding action.

MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace began her show on Monday by attacking the inaction of Texas Republican lawmakers who continue to fight back against any possible gun safety laws, despite voters in the state approving of them overwhelmingly.

Two conservative co-hosts on "The View" assigned blame for the wave of mass shootings on Republican elected officials.

A gunman killed eight people and wounded seven others Saturday in Allen, Texas, and co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said it was long past time for Congress to enact meaningful gun safety legislation.

A documentary filmmaker explained how Ginni Thomas influenced her husband Clarence and helped him find a purpose in conservative politics.

Veteran filmmaker Michael Kirk appeared Monday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" to discuss his new PBS documentary, "Clarence and Ginni Thomas: Politics, Power and the Supreme Court," which premiers as new revelations are published about the couple's ties to wealthy benefactors.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough stopped just short of dropping an F-bomb while discussing the latest mass shooting.

A gunman opened fire at an outlet mall Saturday in Allen, Texas, killing eight and wounding seven, and the "Morning Joe" host struggled to express his outrage over the continuing wave of violence that has claimed scores of lives in that state in recent years.

MSNBC host Ayman Mohyeldin showed some of the clips of Donald Trump's deposition in the E. Jean Carroll case and wondered how the jury might react in the trial based on what has been revealed from the tape.

"What do you make of that?" he asked former federal prosecutor Cynthia Alksne. "I mean, based on what you've seen from that day, those three clips we've played for you, the inability to recognize his ex-wife, the stupidity of the second comment about stars have been doing it for a million years, and then that bit where his defense is 'you're not my type,' and attacking the attorney there. Did Trump seemingly make the right decision not to take the stand?"

Police in Brownsville, Texas, refused to say whether or not the man who drove his car into a crowd outside a Texas homeless shelter Sunday morning did so intentionally. Still, a video of the incident reveals the details of what happened.

The video, confirmed by police, shows the driver flying through a red light, hitting a curb and then plowing into the crowd of people sitting at a bus stop. Seven people in that incident were killed, and 10 others were injured, CNN reported Sunday afternoon.

Fox News is reporting more information about the man who opened fire at the mall in Allen, Texas, on Saturday. According to the report, the police were searching the home of the shooter, which he shared with his two parents.

The 33-year-old Mauricio Martinez Garcia lived in Dallas.

Forcing Justice Clarence Thomas off the Supreme Court for his mounting financial ethics scandals is likely a pipe dream, Fix the Court director Gabe Roth told MSNBC's Alex Wagner on Friday — but there are still ways of holding him accountable, and more importantly, of setting the standard for future right-wing jurists who admire Thomas that they cannot emulate his behavior.

"What kind of reforms are even possible?" asked Wagner. "I did not realize that [Sen.] Sheldon Whitehouse and Hank Johnson in the House are sending letters to the Judicial Conference of the United States, which is an agency charged with administering the courts, to refer Thomas to the A.G., to Merrick Garland for investigation. Merrick Garland has a lot on his plate. What can be done to fix this?"
