Producers at CBS News told Variety on Monday that they are grappling with "conflicting orders" and "mass confusion" because of a memo sent by the new organization's editor in chief, Bari Weiss.

Last week, Weiss sent CBS News staffers a memo requesting that they explain "how they spend their time" to her, their thoughts about CBS News generally, and how Weiss could align with the editorial staff "on achieving a shared vision for CBS News." Union counsel representing the CBS News workers told employees last week not to respond.

Former Homeland Security chief of staff Miles warned that President Donald Trump is going to invoke the Insurrection Act because he's wanted to do it for a long time, and that the U.S. Supreme Court will likely let him do it.

Speaking to MSNBC on Monday, former FBI general counsel Andrew Weissmann and ex-Justice Department official Mary McCord debated the legal challenges to whether or not Trump could invoke the Act and how it would be argued in court. But Taylor was the one who made it clear that his time in the Trump administration had shown him a deep desire to declare something a legal "insurrection" and invoke martial law.

President Donald Trump's immigration policies appear to be creating a "moral horror" for at least one of the president's allies in Congress, according to two analysts.

Krystal Ball and Emily Jashinsky, co-hosts of the "Breaking Points" podcast, said on Monday that Trump's immigration policies seem to be alienating Rep.

Ethics experts are furious after Trump allies running a private investment firm promoted an event called the “Inaugural U.S. Treasury A.I. Summit,” that was billed as having Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent deliver an address and was heavily implied to be an official government-sponsored event, even though it wasn't.

According to the Wall Street Journal, "The fund, called 1789 Capital, circulated the pitch to technology companies in recent weeks, calling the Oct. 21 event 'historic,' according to an email to potential donors and the pitch itself, a copy of which was reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. It offered an array of perks, including a VIP cocktail party and dinner, to those who paid," and was essentially sold to people as an event where Bessent would outline the Treasury Department's AI strategy.

President Donald Trump's hand-picked prosecutor in the Eastern District of Virginia is getting a lot of pushback from career prosecutors in the office because of her efforts to prosecute the president's political foes, CNN reporter Katelyn Polantz revealed on Monday.

Polantz joined CNN's "The Arena with Kasie Hunt" to discuss how career prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia are reacting to their new boss, Lindsey Halligan. Halligan is a former insurance attorney with no prosecutorial experience whom Trump picked to run the Eastern District of Virginia, which typically handles national security or classified information cases, after former U.S. Attorney Erick Siebert resigned last month.

Officials in Washington State have agreed to water down a key provision of a child abuse reporting law passed to prevent misconduct by religious clergy, under pressure from both Catholic bishops and the Trump administration, MSNBC reported on Monday.

These entities, according to Ja'han Jones, "filed lawsuits seeking to overturn a bill signed by Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson, a Democrat and a Catholic, that required faith leaders of all denominations to report allegations of abuse they received in private religious settings — including confession. Though the Catholic Church has a documented history of enabling child sexual abuse, the sponsor of Washington’s bill said the legislation was inspired by reports of abuse within Jehovah’s Witness churches."
