Far-right activist Ali Alexander went into hiding after the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, but he did publish a video in which he claimed he met with GOP lawmakers such as Reps. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) and Mo Brooks (R-AL) ahead of the riots.

Speaking to MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace on Monday, former federal prosecutor Harry Litman explained that Alexander is cooperating with the Justice Department because, if he refuses, he could get as much as 10 years in jail.

The far-right television station OAN is suing DirectTV parent company AT&T after they were dropped from the cable package. They're not suing because they're being dropped, instead, they're suing for violations of a non-disparagement clause.

In a kind of legal do-si-do, OAN explained that DirectTV is owned by AT&T, which was going through a merger with HBO. John Oliver's show is on HBO, so OAN decided that because the "Last Week Tonight" host has spent many episodes mocking them, it violates the non-disparagement agreement that OAN signed with DirectTV.

In his video blog Sunday, former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner explained that progressives shouldn't be concerned about whether the House Select Committee investigating Jan. 6 referring former President Donald Trump for criminal charges.

In a detailed explanation about his faith in the committee's lead lawyer, Kirschner said that even if they did refer to the Justice Department that doesn't mandate that the attorney general do anything. All the DOJ would do in response is thank them for the information and move forward with their own probe.

Former Wisconsin Republican Rep. Sean Duffy came up with what was heralded as a genius solution to funding public schools. The conversation has taken off among conservatives who have been triggered over the past year by schools teaching about Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks and other Civil Rights leaders.

Duffy's solution is to let children decide.

CNN's Jim Acosta revived an old moniker of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on Sunday when he referred to the Republican leader as "cocaine Mitch."

The nickname came from his former Republican primary opponent Don Blankenship, who quoted a 2014 article in The Nation magazine talking about 40 kilograms of cocaine that was found on a cargo ship owned by McConnell's wife's family. McConnell made jokes about it and sold t-shirts saying "Cocaine Mitch." It's still unclear why it's funny, however.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough laid into the Manhattan district attorney for his handling of a criminal investigation into Donald Trump's business practices.

Two prosecutors quit the case in frustration earlier this year, although district attorney Alvin Bragg insists the probe remained active, but the "Morning Joe" host said the former president was widely known as a longtime crook.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough condemned Vladimir Putin's "vile" escalation of his war against Ukraine, and warned that it would prove disastrous to his regime.

Russian forces killed at least 30 people and wounded 100 or more in an attack on a train station in Donetsk as the brutal invasion drags on, but the "Morning Joe" host said Russia could never truly win the war.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough bashed Republican senators for disrespecting newly confirmed Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson after she became the first Black woman to join the court.

Four GOP senators -- Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Jim Inhofe (R-OK), and Jerry Moran (R-KS) and Rand Paul (R-KY) -- voted against Jackson's confirmation from the Senate cloakroom, after Graham showed up in a polo shirt and Paul in khaki slacks, which violate the dress code, and Republicans then walked out after her nomination passed 53-47.

The New York Times expose on Ginni Thomas, wife to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, revealed that among other things, Mrs. Thomas would have lunches with President Donald Trump at the White House. Speaking to "The View" on Thursday, former Trump aide Stephanie Grisham said that the staff would always scramble when they found out that she was coming because they knew that afterward, heads were going to roll.

"I think the more important thing is — what I do know is that at that time we would all be scrambling to do damage control knowing that once she left he would be telling us who needed to be fired, who was a Never Trumper in the White House or the administration, who was in the deep state because she would come with a list of people who should be fired," said Grisham.

Republican North Carolina congressman Madison Cawthorn has such a toxic political brand that Republicans are now using it to trash each other.

Ousted Republican Gov. Pat McCrory is using comments from Rep. Ted Budd (R-NC) about Cawthorn in a new attack ad. Both men are running in a Republican primary to take over the seat being vacated by retiring Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC).
