Ivanka Trump spent about eight hours answering questions about the Jan. 6 insurrection in testimony before the House select committee.

Committee chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS) said her virtual testimony was "not in broad, chatty terms, but she's answering questions," and NBC News reporter Ryan Reilly explained how she might have resolved the inherent tension between her desire to portray herself as a positive influence on her father but without implicating him in criminal wrongdoing.

The massacre in Bucha over the weekend at the hands of Russian soldiers is elevating concerns all over the globe. Meanwhile, Kremlin media promoters are suggesting the ethnic cleansing of multiple "generations" of Ukrainians.

Speaking to former Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes, contributor Helene Cooper and analyst Rick Stengel, host Nicolle Wallace explained that the cruelty was intentional.

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin clashed with Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) during a House committee hearing.

The Florida Republican accused the defense secretary during an Armed Service Committee hearing of wasting taxpayer funds on lectures on socialism and diversity, and Austin became frustrated by his questions and frequent interruptions.

The co-hosts of "The View" brought Stephanie Grisham back to sit in during hot topics this week, but sparks started flying when she talked about how angry the right-wing gets when they're shown to be "dumb."

The conversation was about how the right has started using the word "pedophile" to insult anyone they don't like. Before, the right would scream "socialist," but the new accusation is that Democrats are enabling abusers. Such was the case when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) attacked Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME), Mitt Romney (R-UT) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) by claiming that they intended to vote to approve Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. The conversation then evolved into illogical things Donald Trump's supporters say on camera.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough bashed Republican senators for opposing the confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson for purely political reasons.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) plainly stated that Republicans would not even have granted Jackson a hearing if they held the majority, and the "Morning Joe" host slammed the GOP senator for seeking revenge for previous confirmation hearings.

The third Republican Senator announced Monday that they'd be supporting Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson in the approval vote at the U.S. Supreme Court. But that wasn't what MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell wanted to talk about during his hour. He connected the dots for the groups and right-wing people who manufactured things they could use against her.

O'Donnell explained that the only Republican to support Judge Jackson when she was up for a vote the last time, is Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC). Graham supported her then but doesn't support her now. Nothing has changed in her record. The issues he cited were all there the last time, but he didn't care about it then.

Comedian Jason Selvig has followed several right-wing fans as they stage protests or attend rallies. While in Michigan over the weekend for one of Donald Trump's rallies, he captured one woman who said she wants Russia's Vladimir Putin to be president over President Joe Biden.

When asked why she loves Putin so much, she rambled about Nazis, seemingly confused. She alleges that Nazis went to Ukraine after World War II and that Putin is getting a bum rap. According to her, George Bush was a Nazi from World War II. The elder Bush actually joined the Navy as an aviator the day he turned 18 to go fight in World War II against the Nazis. He was ultimately stationed in the Pacific theater, flying 58 attack missions.

The Department of Justice has come under fire in the past several weeks over the fact that Attorney General Merrick Garland hasn't moved on so many of the details uncovered by the House Select Committee investigating Jan. 6.

Speaking to MSNBC on Monday, former federal prosecutor Joyce White Vance explained that because the DOJ acted so poorly during Donald Trump's administration, the American people seem to want some assurances that what is happening is just and true.

On Monday's edition of MSNBC's "Deadline: White House," former FBI official Frank Figliuzzi detailed the danger of January 6 sympathizers lurking within the intelligence community — an issue he wrote on over the weekend.

"We are now learning that members of the intelligence community have these classified chatrooms, in particular, one ... that is the intelligence community classified equivalent of Twitter," said Figliuzzi. "Where they've reportedly been exchanging support for the Jan. 6 insurrection, they've engaged in racist, even violent speech, misogynistic speech, anti-Islam speech. And according to a quote that [reporter] Jeff Stein got from an administrator of these groups, he says he calls it a 'dumpster fire of hate and other violence-related speech."

Over the weekend, it was revealed that the White House diarist noticed in the days leading to Jan. 6 former President Donald Trump's office began providing less and less detail about his daily behavior.

The White House has a non-partisan staffer who is there to gather all of the records to capture every movement of the president, as part of the Presidential Records Act. One detail, however, is that those records are then approved by a senior White House official. So, if there were records and they were destroyed, that's illegal.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) has struggled with her story attempting to blame President Joe Biden for the high cost of fuel in the U.S. While many leaders have legitimate concerns, Blackburn can't quite get the GOP talking points correct.

In a previous appearance, Blackburn blamed Biden for stopping the production of the Keystone XL Pipeline that would have delivered oil from Canada into the United States.

Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) revealed this week that he no longer has "trust" in Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC), the young official who outed GOP members for having "sexual get-togethers" and snorting cocaine. But as John Oliver explained Sunday night, Cawthorn is essentially the monster that McCarthy built.

Oliver began by noting that no one uses the term "key bump" when referring to doing cocaine without knowing what it means. "So, you're already telling on yourself there."
