Former CIA and FBI official Phil Mudd revealed that he no longer works in the intelligence community, but he's still concerned about threats against his life.

While working at the FBI, Mudd served as the Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency's Counterterrorism Center during the years after Sept. 11. He's written two books on the US's hunt for Al Qaeda terrorists and was on the front lines of the attempts to bring down those who aligned with the group.

President Joe Biden spoke on Thursday, encouraging Americans to stand up against violence, threats, and attempts to bring down democracy coming from MAGA Republicans. After calling Trumpism "semi-fascist," many of those on the right responded by threatening violence of their own.

In a panel discussion Sunday evening, MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan played a clip of far-right commentator Ben Shapiro, saying that by calling out violence and fascism, Biden was going to cause more violence from fascists.

MAGA Republicans have spent the last two years going after teachers and librarians for teaching about slavery or highlighting Black leaders like Martin Luther King, Jr. and Harriet Tubman.

Speaking to MSNBC's Mehdi Hasan, reporter Brandy Zadrozny explained that the recent bomb threats called into Boston Children's Hospital are just more of the same from the right-wing that has been going after anyone helping to treat transgender children. The Washington Post reported that a right-wing digital group is behind attacks on a Washington, D.C. children's hospital. To make matters worse, social media sites are allowing it to continue.

Two attackers are on the loose in Saskatchewan, Canada after attacking at least 25 people with knives. According to reports, at least 10 are dead already and 15 are injured.

Speaking to CNN on Sunday evening former national security analyst Juliette Kayyem explained that it's clear that police know the names of the accused killers and the car they're in as they're attempting to escape.

Among the people who spoke at Donald Trump's rally on Saturday was a woman named Cynthia, who spoke out on the plight of her nephew who attended the Jan. 6 attack on Congress. It turns out, however, her nephew is a Nazi sympathizer. The larger question, however, is how he became Trump's poster-boy at the rally.

Speaking about Cynthia Hughes, CNN's Zachary Cohen told Jim Acosta that she was leaving out a lot of details in her speech to Pennsylvania. At the same time, there were plenty of Jan. 6 attackers who could have been highlighted at the event that were everyday people who were caught up in the crowd and who got light sentences. That isn't who this was.

In a rare moment of frankness, fringe commentator Tomi Lahren admitted that mainstream Republicans don't support Donald Trump.

Appearing on the Fox network Sunday, Lahren twisted herself in knots trying to explain why President Joe Biden's speech on Thursday was actually a good thing for MAGA world.

Donald Trump spoke to a crowd of Pennsylvania voters in support of Mehmet Oz, on Saturday where he railed against the Justice Department and the FBI for enforcing laws about stolen government documents and classified information. Instead of providing an excuse for why he had stolen government property and top secret information, including nuclear documents, Trump claimed they raided his wife's underwear drawer and his son's bedroom.

Former US Attorney and University of Michigan Law School Professor Barbara McQuade explained that there's no excuse for Trump's behavior because he has yet to provide one.

Republican pundit Rick Tyler was shot down on MSNBC Sunday after claiming that Donald Trump's speech in Pennsylvania on Saturday was the same as President Joe Biden's pitch for Americans to help save democracy.

Biden spoke out on Thursday, saying that the MAGA philosophy is an attempt to eliminate the votes of Americans, the attempt to restrict the votes of Americans and the attempt to obliterate the liberty and freedoms of Americans. Over and over in his speech, he talked about his work with Republicans and long-time friendship with patriotic Republicans who continue to believe in the Constitution and the rule of law.

The stolen government documents discovered at Donald Trump's golf course Mar-a-Lago continue to prompt questions about the former president's motivations for stealing the information.

Speaking to CNN on Sunday, former communications director and chief of staff to the first lady, Stephanie Grisham said that she's not surprised that all of the folders were mixed in with mementos and gifts.

Bill Barr offered no defense for Donald Trump's handling of classified documents at his Mar-A-Lago resort during an appearance Friday on Fox News.

The FBI searched the former president's home last month and found hundreds of top-secret materials, along with some empty folders marked "classified," after trying for months to negotiate their return, and the former attorney general said Trump should not have had them in his possession.

President Joe Biden swatted away a Fox News reporter's suggestion that he thinks all of Donald Trump's supporters are a threat to democracy.

The president delivered a speech Thursday night in Philadelphia warning of the threat posed by Trump's hardcore "MAGA" base, who refuse to accept the 2020 election results and have carried out acts of violence to keep the former president in power, and Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy asked Biden whether that applied to all Republican voters.

Former President Donald Trump appears to have a weak defense if he's prosecuted for taking classified documents to Mar-A-Lago, but he may be able to hold the court hostage by threatening to reveal some of that top-secret information.

The FBI found boxes of highly sensitive materials in Trump's office and other areas of his private resort, and his attorneys have asked for them back, or at least an inventory of what was taken -- which NBC News reporter Marc Caputo told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" signaled his possible strategy.

The right-wing fringe will be a focus of President Joe Biden's speech on Thursday, but the message is going to be an optimistic tone, deputy chief of staff Jen O'Malley Dillon told MSNBC.

Earlier this week, Biden spoke about extremist MAGA Republicans he said are endangering the United States, a fact that the FBI director has confirmed in testimony to Congress. Polls show that a considerable portion of Americans (40 percent) fear that there will be a civil war within the next decade.
