Outgoing FBI Director Christopher Wray doubled down on his defense of the search of President-elect Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home ahead of his resignation.

In an Atlanta Journal-Constitution interview, the resigning FBI director addressed Trump's criticism of the so-called raid on Mar-a-Lago after the president-elect refused to turn over classified documents that he took while leaving the White House.

The Washington Post lost another long-standing writer as the newspaper has continued to shed staff after billionaire owner Jeff Bezos began injecting himself into editorial decisions.

Former conservative-turned-moderate Jennifer Rubin left the Post's opinion pages to join a new venture with legal expert and former ethics czar Norm Eisen.

The blueprint for Donald Trump's second presidency calls for the elimination of the Department of Education, which could disrupt the ability of many children to access schooling.

Project 2025 takes aim at federal education policy, which ensures that states provide equitable education for all children, and advocates for the disabled are concerned that a second Trump administration will eliminate funding and opportunities for disabled kids, reported Mother Jones.

Former GOP House Speaker Newt Gingrich has a warning for President-elect Donald Trump, reported The Guardian: an excessively restrictionist immigration regime would have prevented a key person who helped him back into power from coming to America.

Gingrich is a committed Republican who has been consistently supportive of Trump for years — but he has recently been warning Trump not to move forward with his ideas for mass deportation, telling him only his most hardcore fans want such a draconian policy and that the American people will turn on him quickly if the news is full of children and hardworking families being rounded up.

The head of Canada's most conservative province visited Donald Trump at his Florida home to discuss her nation's relationship with the U.S.

Alberta premier Danielle Smith confirmed her visit Sunday morning in a social media post, saying she and the president-elect had a "friendly and constructive conversation," and other posts on her X account showed her meeting with "Shark Tank" star Kevin O'Leary and right-wing influencer Jordan Peterson at Mar-a-Lago, reported CBC.

Judge Aileen Cannon has triggered outrage among legal experts for purporting to block the release of special counsel Jack Smith's reports on the criminal cases against President-elect Donald Trump, given that she likely surrendered jurisdiction of the classified documents case when she dismissed it and the appeal went to the 11th Circuit. Some have suggested she knows her order was illegal and just wanted to create enough delay for Trump officials to take office and block release of the report themselves.

But the lawlessness goes beyond that, national security expert Marcy Wheeler wrote for her "Emptywheel" blog — Cannon is also interfering with the Senate's constitutional powers over Trump nominations.

Anti-Trump conservative Mona Charen on Monday continued her efforts to try to whip elected Democrats into shape when it comes to opposing the incoming Trump administration.

In an interview with The New Republic's Greg Sargent, Charen expressed astonishment that even right-wing Trump ally Steve Bannon has seemingly done more to fight against the influence of X owner Elon Musk than most elected Democrats.

President-elect Donald Trump is taking over the "staggering challenge" of a military that is unprepared to fight America's enemies, conservative analyst Max Boot wrote for The Washington Post — and worse still, he has nominated a man to lead it who doesn't understand why.

This comes as Trump's pick to lead the Department of Defense, Fox News personality Pete Hegseth, has come under fire for his history of alleged sexual misconduct, heavy drinking, and advocacy to pardon war criminals — and it also comes as Trump refuses to rule out using military force to seize territories like Greenland and the Panama Canal Zone as part of a neo-imperialist project.

Paul Offit, a pediatrician who specializes in treating infectious diseases, has written an editorial in the New York Times hammering Trump Department of Health and Human Services nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Offit begins his piece by objecting to media descriptions of Kennedy as a "vaccine skeptic," given that he isn't just casting skepticism of unproven vaccines but is making false claims about vaccines that have proven safe and effective for decades now.
