Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers, a Republican, recalled the White House calling him to pressure him to overturn the 2020 election for the state.

Testifying on Tuesday before the House Select Committee investigating Jan. 6 insurrection, Bowers said that he got a phone call from the White House in which the operator told him to "hold for the president." Rudy Giuliani came on the phone instead. Both he and former President Donald Trump began their pressure campaign to get him to lead a charge to change the 2020 election results.

Over the weekend, the Texas Republican Party announced its party platform that detailed the beliefs and ideas of the GOP. "The View" host Sunny Hostin said Tuesday that she appreciated it because up until this point the Republican Party has only been voting against things, they haven't explicitly said what they're for.

One of those things is secession from the United States. Co-host Whoopi Goldberg warned that if they decided to break away from the U.S. that they should be prepared for us to build a wall to keep them out.

A veteran law enforcement officer slammed the police response to the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, as an "avalanche of failure."

CNN security correspondent and former FBI special agent Josh Campbell explained that newly released video from the May 24 shooting at Robb Elementary School showed police failed at nearly every aspect of their response when an 18-year-old gunman killed 19 students and two teachers.

The House Select Committee is hoping to avoid mistakes made by previous investigations of Donald Trump's corruption.

Congressional investigators have the benefit of hindsight over special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation and two impeachment inquiries, and Washington Post reporter Jacqueline Alemany told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" how they plan to overcome the mistakes made in past attempts to hold Trump accountable.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough drew a straight line between the Jan. 6 insurrection and a Missouri Republican's menacing campaign ad -- and he called it "fascism."

The "Morning Joe" host denounced the attention-grabbing ad from U.S. Senate candidate Eric Greitens, who invited voters to join the "MAGA crew" and go "RINO hunting" as heavily armed men in tactical gear busted down the door to a home and invaded.

An $8 million Seaside, Florida home became the site for a party when a group broke into the house to use it for their own shindig.

According to WEARTV, the owners of the home weren't aware of what was happening as they were away. According to the Walton County Sheriff's Office, photos and videos were taken showing many of the faces who participated in the event.

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow began her Monday show teasing what is expected before the fourth public hearing by the House Select Committee investigating the plot to overthrow the election and the subsequent violence over it on Jan. 6. The focus of the committee will be on the pressure campaign against election officials and election workers who continue to be terrorized by fans of former President Donald Trump.

While Maddow cited the witnesses who will appear before the House, she also focused on the mother of one of the witnesses, Wandrea "Shaye" Moss.

Former Watergate prosecutor Jill Wine-Banks explained ahead of the fourth public hearing of the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack that, in her professional opinion, the evidence exists to indict Donald Trump.

Speaking to MSNBC's Ari Melber, Wine-Banks compared Trump to former President Richard Nixon, who was elected by 49 electoral states, but who eventually lost the support of the public once his crimes became known.

Both a former U.S. attorney and former Republican member of Congress agreed that after just three days of public hearings the House Select Committee investigating Jan. 6 uncovered enough information to charge former President Donald Trump with crimes.

Speaking to Harry Litman, Jake Sherman and former Rep. David Jolly (R-FL), MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace said that the committee is essentially helping to educate the whole country on the coup plot.

Speaking over the weekend, House Select Committee member Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) cited "seditious conspiracy" as a charge for former President Donald Trump. Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) made the same comment when the first hearing unfolded and she made a detailed opening statement.

Among the things she promised, she said, that the committee will detail "plots to commit seditious conspiracy on January 6th."

A Southern Baptist minister recently accused his fellow pastors of becoming "whores" for Donald Trump -- which elicited howls of protest from some of them.

Kevin Smith, pastor at Family Church in West Palm Beach and former executive director of the Baptist Convention of Maryland/Delaware, spoke the first day at the SBC General Convention, where he accused some ministers of “losing their minds” after Barack Obama was elected president in 2012 and then shamed themselves by supporting Trump, reported Protestia.

The House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on Congress and the plot to overthrow the 2020 election is set to meet again on Tuesday for a public hearing at 1 p.m. EST.

Speaking about the issues the committee will deal with, CNN legal expert Elie Honig noted that thus far, Americans have seen the way in which former President Donald Trump pressured Mike Pence and "weaponized the Justice Department." On Tuesday, Honig noted that the committee will show, among other things, how Trump pressured Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to magically "find" 11,780 votes so he could win the 2020 election.

A Missouri Republican raised alarms by tweeting out a new campaign ad depicting a violent raid on a political opponent's home.

Eric Greitens, who resigned as Missouri governor over sexual misconduct and campaign finance allegations, has staked his U.S. Senate campaign on opposition to RINOs -- Republicans in name only -- in hopes of attracting Donald Trump's endorsement, and his new campaign ad reflects that focus on party fealty to the former president.
