Washington Post reporter Emily Davies is on the ground in Scotland with President Donald Trump, and her latest reporting reveals that the GOP leader is furious that the scandal around Jeffrey Epstein's documents will never die.

Speaking to MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace on Monday, Davies said Trump is "growing increasingly frustrated that this issue won't go away."

Senate Republicans are bracing for a bruising fight as they try to keep control of the seat held by the departing Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), as Democrats just recruited their dream candidate in former Gov. Roy Cooper.

According to NOTUS, now that Tillis has signaled he will not seek re-election amid mounting fights and frustration with President Donald Trump, and the president's daughter-in-law Lara Trump, a native of the state, declined to run after facing months of speculation herself, Cooper "will instead likely face Michael Whatley, the former Republican National Committee chair who has emerged as the GOP’s consensus candidate in what might be the country’s most competitive — and expensive — Senate race."

Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) faced backlash online after announcing his Senate candidacy with an advertisement that contained a glaring typo.

In a message posted to X on Sunday, Collins said he was "ready to put the hammer down and get it done." The post included an ad that misspelled the name of Collins' state: "Georiga."

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) will face Paul Dans, the architect of "Project 2025," along with others, in a GOP primary race for the 2026 midterm elections.

And the reaction to the news was swift on social media, including from President Donald Trump's former co-campaign manager, Chris LaCivita.

MAGA melted down Monday afternoon as a Democratic senator staged a sit-in after being barred from a federal immigration detention facility in Baltimore.

Frustrated members of Maryland’s congressional delegation unsuccessfully tried to appeal to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement official for permission to tour a temporary detention facility, The Baltimore Sun reported. They resorted to an improvised sit-in in a hallway after demanding entrance.

David Schoen, a lawyer who represented President Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, blamed Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) for refusing to drop a scandal concerning his former clients.

During a Monday interview on Newsmax, host Katrina Szish asked Schoen about Trump's ongoing Epstein scandal.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) was reamed on social media by Rep. Becca Balint (D-VT) for his claim that he actually strengthened Medicaid by making deep cuts to it.

Balint was reacting to an interview Johnson sat for on "Meet The Press" Sunday, during which he was asked by Kristen Welker about a bill by Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) to repeal some of the Medicaid cuts in Trump's tax cut megabill. "Why would Josh Hawley introduce a bill to roll back cuts in Medicaid if there are not cuts in Medicaid? He says the people in his state are going to suffer."

A "flailing" President Donald Trump has tried to use every tool in his kit to distract his supporters from their demands for the investigation and court documents known as the Jeffrey Epstein "files," a new analysis noted. He's accused former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton of committing crimes. He's alleged that former President Barack Obama should be indicted or arrested. He has called the Epstein matter a "hoax" and a "witch hunt."

Nothing is working.

Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell, now serving a 20-year federal prison sentence for her role in Epstein's crimes, met with Deputy U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche in late July — fueling speculation of a possible reduction in her sentence or even a full pardon from President Donald Trump. At the same time, Maxwell's attorneys are appealing her conviction to the U.S. Supreme Court in the hope of getting the conviction overturned.

During a Monday morning appearance on CNN, legal analyst Elie Honig, a former federal prosecutor, told host Wolf Blitzer that it is "unlikely but not impossible" that the high court "takes this case."

New Republican writer Greg Sargent penned a Monday column alleging that President Donald Trump is "humiliating" MAGA with his comments over the scandal involving trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Speaking in the United Kingdom on Monday, Trump again claimed that the Epstein scandal is nothing but a hoax, claiming that if his name was in the files, then former President Joe Biden would have already released the files.

A large coalition of religious organizations is suing the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for what it describes as a policy that has intimidated their parishioners through the "threat of surveillance, interrogation, or arrest" at houses of worship.

The lawsuit filed by the faith groups argued that churches and other places of worship used to be considered off limits for immigration enforcement actions except in extreme circumstances. However, the complaint noted that all this changed at the start of the second Trump administration, when Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem drastically loosened restrictions on when and under what circumstances immigration enforcement agents could conduct operations at or near religious institutions.

President Donald Trump's latest "assault" on law firms, judges, media groups, universities and labor unions is more than just a penchant for retribution, a former Biden administration official warned Monday in a New York Times column — it's about a "bigger, more fundamental goal."

Vanita Gupta, the U.S. associate attorney general in the Biden administration, warned that nonprofit groups are up next for Trump and his "norm-shattering zeal for retribution and punishment." Gupta pointed to a Jan. 21 executive order that directed federal agencies to send the White House possible targets for investigation. That included large nonprofits, associations and foundations with at least $500 million in assets. Congressional lawmakers then launched a probe into more than 200 nonprofits with no basis or any evidence of wrongdoing, noted Gupta.
