Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard faced sharp criticism on Monday after her office released a trove of 230,000 files related to Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination instead of releasing more of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

The move to release the MLK files happened at a time when the Trump administration is seeking to distance itself from the Epstein files saga. President Donald Trump has attacked some of his supporters as "stupid" and "weaklings" for continuing to talk about the files. Meanwhile, media outlets like The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal continue to publish stories about the ties between Trump and Epstein.

If Democrats hope to reclaim the majority in one or both chambers of Congress next year, they do it by uniting around a specific four-word phrase that Democratic strategist James Carville argues is key to success.

In a Monday op-ed for the New York Times, Carville — who was the strategist behind former President Bill Clinton's campaigns — said that while 2028 is a wide-open contest that could necessitate a "civil war" within the Democratic Party, no clear leader of the party will emerge until after the 2026 midterms. And he added that in order to win in 2026, Democrats need to unite all of their various competing factions under one umbrella: Railing against President Donald Trump's vastly unpopular tax and spending law.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt suggested Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel were to blame for refusing to release additional files on Jeffrey Epstein.

While speaking to reporters Monday, Leavitt was asked why President Donald Trump had not "just ordered the FBI to release the full Epstein files."

President Donald Trump is releasing more files about the late civil rights leader, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., despite opposition from his family.

The FBI has a section of its website called "The Vault," where many MLK files can be found. These new files deal specifically with the assassination in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1968.

The sons of President Donald Trump's Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick, are allowing their clients to essentially bet that President Donald Trump’s tariffs will flop in the courts, according to new documents acquired by Wired.

Cantor Fitzgerald is an investment company led by Lutnick's sons. Writing on Monday, Wired noted that Lutnick ran the company for 30 years before being confirmed to serve on the Trump Cabinet in February. It's no surprise that the financial services company would take a different view on Trump's trade war, as Lutnick has been vocally opposed to it since the start.

Pro-MAGA host Jack Posobiec argued that backlash against a CEO who was caught having an affair at a Coldplay concert was an attack on "straight white" people.

During an interview with Human Events editor Kenny Cody on Monday, Posobiec likened the ousting of Astronomer CEO Andy Byron to the plans of Democratic candidates.

Six months into Donald Trump's second presidency, a leading Republican pollster is sounding the alarm that the twice-impeached former president may have already torpedoed his party's chances in the upcoming midterm elections.

Frank Luntz, a prominent GOP messaging expert and pollster, delivered a stark warning during a Monday appearance on CNN, declaring that Trump's political "honeymoon" period has officially expired — and the outlook for Republicans is grim.

The Trump administration has excluded the Wall Street Journal from the press pool in Scotland following their release of last week's explosive reporting on the president's former friendship with deceased wealth manager and child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, Politico reported on Monday.

“As the appeals court confirmed, the Wall Street Journal or any other news outlet are not guaranteed special access to cover President Trump in the Oval Office, aboard Air Force One, and in his private workspaces,” said White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. “Due to the Wall Street Journal’s fake and defamatory conduct, they will not be one of the thirteen outlets on board. Every news organization in the entire world wishes to cover President Trump, and the White House has taken significant steps to include as many voices as possible.”

Republican lawmakers are publicly celebrating President Donald Trump's immigration raids and mass deportations, but behind the scenes, they're doing something else.

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), one of the most conservative members of Congress, said he's "going to bat for" one immigrant in his district he believes to be "a good guy," NOTUS reported Monday.

Right-wing host Alex Jones got in a shouting match with a viewer minutes after the conspiracy theorist said he tended to believe President Donald Trump's excuse for not releasing files relating to Jeffrey Epstein.

"You're a little Rachel Maddow, aren't you?" a caller named Matt told Jones on Monday. "It's the same thing."

Texas Republicans are trying to find a way to help maintain the slim House GOP majority in the U.S. Congress by implementing new redistricting that allows state members to make Democratic districts more GOP-friendly.

In the past, Democrats have stopped moves like this by vacating the state and blocking a quorum cal — but Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX), came up with a new strategy, tying aid for flooded parts of Texas to a redistricting vote. So, Democrats couldn't flee the state to avoid redistricting unless they also want to hold up funding for people in the flood zones.
