Former CNN host Don Lemon upped his yearslong beef with Donald Trump with an insult-laced rant against the president throwing blame – without evidence – on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives for last week’s deadly air disaster over Washington D.C.

“Donald Trump by his definition of what DEI is – which he thinks is unqualified people – that’s not what it is right but by his definition he is a DEI hire,” Lemon said in a short video interview captured by TMZ. “Donald Trump is the most unqualified person to be President of the United States ever. He’s a nepo baby among other things that I could say but I’d rather not use those words.”

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that President Donald Trump agreed not to impose tariffs on his country for at least a month.

In a statement on Monday, Trudeau said the proposed tariffs would "be paused for at least 30 days while we work together." The deal included Canada providing 10,000 troops on the U.S.-Canadian border.

President Donald Trump's executive order lumped asylum seekers in with undocumented immigrants — and in so doing, violated federal law, an advocacy group argued in a new court filing.

Two groups out of Texas and one in Arizona are suing all of those who are involved in the mass deportation program.

Dozens of workers at the U.S. Department of Education were summarily placed on paid administrative leave on Friday — and were not told why, reported ABC News on Monday.

The report said "some employees told ABC News they believe the only common thread among them is that they attended a voluntary training called the 'Diversity Change-Agent Training Program'" — as the letters alerting workers to the suspensions said they were issued under President Donald Trump's executive order abolishing diversity, equity, and inclusion, or DEI, programs in the executive branch.

Department of Government Efficiency Chair Elon Musk came under a barrage of criticism Monday when protesters angry about what they said amounted to a “coup” attempt gathered outside the Office of Personnel Management building to rally against the tech billionaire, according to media reports.

Armed with slogans like, “We don’t want your tech solutions, give us back our constitution,” and “Elon, Elon, have you heard? You're a nasty, fascist nerd,” protesters showed up to challenge the unprecedented access to department data that Musk and his associates at DOGE have gained control of over the last 24 hours, USA Today reported.

In a post on X, unelected government official Elon Musk revealed that he has cut the staff of the Internal Revenue Service that oversaw the system that allows Americans to file their taxes for free easily on its website.

A right-wing MAGA influencer called the "direct file" tax program a "far left government wide computer office" that was "built by Elizabeth Warren."

A former FBI official sent a warning Monday on MSNBC to President Donald Trump's nominee to head the FBI, saying he's about to walk into an agency that "won't work for him."

Last week, the new Trump government began purging the FBI and teased more cuts are on the way. Among those who could be fired are FBI employees who worked on Jan. 6 cases, which means roughly three-fourths of the FBI could be fired.

President Donald Trump spoke to reporters from the Oval Office on Monday about his trade tariffs and his talk with Canadian and Mexican leadership — and signed an executive order establishing a sovereign wealth fund for the nation.

But his news conference was littered with comments that left onlookers wondering if he knew what was happening.

Sen. Andy Kim (D-NJ) held a news conference outside the United States Agency for International Development headquarters and confirmed that security guards had been told not to let employees in the building after operations were halted under the guidance of billionaire Elon Musk, chair of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency.

"About 20 years ago, when I first came to work for the federal government, I walked through these doors right behind me," Kim told reporters after trying to get into the building on Monday. "It was really tough today walking through these same doors 20-some years later only to see it shut down to employees."

Last October in a suburb of Jacksonville, police arrested an 18-year-old Donald Trump supporter they accused of brandishing a machete outside an early voting location, targeting two women.

He was charged with voter intimidation, aggravated assault on persons 65 or older, and improper exhibition of a firearm.
