Former Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC) called President Donald Trump's acceptance of a $400 million gift from Qatar "problematic."

Speaking on a CNN panel Monday, McHenry explained, "Like most things in the Trump era, two things can be true at once," prompting a chuckle from host Kasie Hunt.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) lashed out Monday afternoon at Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) for attacking the GOP plan on the state and local tax deduction, or SALT.

Under Republican proposals for President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill," the limit on the amount that can be deducted from federal taxes to pay state and local taxes, an animating issue for New York politicians, would be raised from $10,000 to $30,000, although the tax break would be limited to people making under $400,000 a year.

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace created a split-screen on her show Monday afternoon, showing President Donald Trump telling families they must learn to live with less in his economy while accepting a $400 million plane as a gift from Qatar.

At the top of her second hour, Wallace coined it: "Donald Trump's war with the 30-doll family."

The White House Correspondents Association issued a sharply worded statement Monday condemning what it called an “unprecedented exclusion” of wire service journalists from Air Force One as President Donald Trump travels to the Middle East.

“For the first time since the White House press corps started traveling with American presidents abroad, no wire service reporter is aboard Air Force One today,” the organization said. “As the president travels across the ocean for high-stakes meetings in the Middle East, the White House has decided not to include any wire reporter on the presidential aircraft.”

President Donald Trump's tariffs, and his subsequent proclamations that Americans should stop consuming so much and be proud of giving their children fewer dolls, signal a massive shift in what the Republican Party stands for, Washington Post columnist Shadi Hamid wrote in an analysis published on Monday afternoon.

Specifically, the GOP has renounced its traditional status as the party of jobs, consumption, and ever-growing markets, into a party that specifically embraces the "de-growth" movement, a longtime fringe ideology, historically more associated with the left, that advocates we should consume less and be deliberately be poorer for the sake of making the world we live in sustainable.

President Donald Trump again took to social media to lean on the conservative Supreme Court to greenlight his administration's mass deportation plans.

President Donald Trump claims he’s getting a “free, very expensive airplane” from Qatar – but the so-called gift could end up costing American taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars, experts and lawmakers told Politico.

“This isn’t really a gift,” Rep. Joe Courtney (D-CT) told Politico on Monday. “You’d basically have to tear the plane down to the studs and rebuild it to meet all the survivability, security and communications requirements of Air Force One. It’s a massive undertaking — and an unfunded one at that.”

President Donald Trump's deputy secretary of state, Christopher Landau, spoke to the press while welcoming over 50 Afrikaner refugees on Monday. He told the BBC that one of the main reasons that Trump chose these refugees over others is that they fit in more easily.

"Some of the criteria is making sure that refugees did not pose any challenge to our national security and that they could be assimilated easily into our country," Landau said.

John Roberts, chief justice of the Supreme Court, downplayed the overturning of landmark decisions like the Roe v. Wade abortion rights ruling during his tenure.

While speaking Monday at Georgetown University Law Center, Roberts insisted that his court had overturned far fewer precedents than previous courts.

A renewed push in Texas to ban Chinese and other non-citizens from purchasing property is almost across the finish line, prompting protests by opponents who claim the measure will stoke discrimination against minorities.

A group of around 50 white South Africans arrived on Monday for resettlement in the United States after President Donald Trump granted them refugee status as victims of what he called a "genocide."
