The Episcopal Church landed into the crosshairs of a MAGA tantrum after it scrapped a long-standing agreement with the government over a controversial Trump policy.

The church’s decision came after 49 white South Africans arrived in the U.S. as refugees, part of a ruling from President Donald Trump who accused their nation’s government of discriminating against whites.

"It happened," said progressive online political commentator Hasan Piker on Sunday in a cryptic post on the social media site X—one that suggested he wasn't altogether surprised when he was detained for several hours by border agents at a Chicago airport after flying back to the U.S. from France.

He explained to his 1.5 million followers later that he had been stopped by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents "for additional questioning."

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow ripped into a series of moves by President Donald Trump as she accused the MAGA administration of overstepping its legal bounds and pushing wildly unpopular and “obviously corrupt” policies.

The bruising analysis came Monday during the opening minutes of Maddow’s primetime show, which she now hosts one night a week. This week, she offered to viewers a rundown of recent efforts by the Trump White House to remove staff from agencies she said it doesn’t control. That includes last week’s firing of the Librarian of Congress as she zeroed in on the president’s authority – or lack thereof – to make personnel decision under congressional authority.

United States President Donald Trump has repeatedly floated the idea of remaining in office after his second term ends in 2029. Since the 22nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution was ratified in 1951, no U.S. president has challenged the two-term limit it established.

If U.S. President Donald Trump actually wants to curb out-of-control prescription drug prices, he'll throw his support behind legislative efforts instead of trying to do so unilaterally — an approach that's unlikely to survive legal challenges.

That was the message that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and congressional Democrats sent to the White House after Trump signed an executive order Monday aimed at pushing "pharmaceutical manufacturers to bring prices for American patients in line with comparably developed nations."

University of West Florida President Martha Saunders will resign months ahead of the expiration of her contract on Dec. 31, she announced Monday morning. She has served as president since 2017.

The resignation came after Gov. Ron DeSantis made clear his intention to overhaul the Pensacola university, including controversial trustee appointments and criticisms of university research and student activities.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) filed a defamation lawsuit Monday against Eric Bowman, a man she previously accused – along with others – of involvement in sex crimes during a February speech on the floor of the House of Representatives, according to media reports.

The lawsuit, filed in Charleston court, accused Bowman of making false and defamatory statements about the Republican lawmaker in a series of social media posts, which she called “objectively falsehoods,” according to The State. The complaint includes several examples of Bowman’s social media posts and claims he acted “with a reckless disregard for the truth.”

Rapper Tory Lanez, who was convicted over the 2020 shooting of Megan Thee Stallion, was hospitalized after getting attacked in a California prison, authorities said Monday.

Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, was rushed to the hospital following the early morning assault by another prisoner at the institution in Tehachapi, 70 miles (110 kilometers) north of Los Angeles.

A high-profile left-wing influencer and political commentator said Monday he was detained for hours by US border officials and interrogated about his political views.

US citizen Hasan Piker -- who has millions of followers on YouTube, Twitch and X, and been outspoken in his criticism of Israel -- says he was held at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport for over two hours on Sunday.
