A top Democrat in the House of Representatives made a surprising prediction about her run for a Senate seat in Texas on Monday during an interview on CNN.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) joined CNN's "Laura Coates Live" on Monday night to discuss her Senate run, which she announced earlier that day. Her announcement ended months of speculation that Crockett would run for Senate after Texas Republicans redrew the state's congressional map, and made Crockett's district more competitive for Republicans.

One of President Donald Trump's allies in the Senate undercut him during an interview on Monday about a key regulatory issue.

A former federal prosecutor bashed President Donald Trump on Monday night over what he described as the president's "most callous and craven" pardon yet.

A foreign policy expert made a stunning prediction on Monday about what President Donald Trump's life will be like if Republicans can't retain their majorities in Congress following the 2026 midterm election.

David Rothkopf, a foreign policy expert and columnist for The Daily Beast, discussed how the upcoming midterm election could impact Trump's presidency on a new episode of "The Daily Beast Podcast" with the outlet's executive editor, Hugh Dougherty. He argued that there are several issues Americans are facing right now that will "add up" for Trump and the Republican Party as the midterm approaches.

A prominent journalist was left stunned by Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino's shocking admissions during a recent interview on Fox News.

In a new column for The Atlantic, David Graham described Bongino's interview last Thursday with Fox News' Sean Hannity about the arrest of a suspect in the Jan. 6 pipe bombing case as an "awkward victory lap" that revealed something "astonishing" about Bongino's past life as a MAGA radio host and media personality.

Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) tore into President Donald Trump's upcoming nationwide tour to sell his economic agenda, which is planned to kick off in Shapiro's home state.

Shapiro, who is known for his cutting jabs at the White House and who has been speculated by some as a Democratic rising star and possible 2028 presidential contender, told MS NOW's "The Weeknight" that Trump can't convince people that the rising prices they see with their own eyes and their own wallets aren't really happening.

The conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board took issue Monday with the Trump administration's new national security strategy, adding to a bevy of criticism the board has heaped on the president.

The strategy, remarked the board, represents a significant shift from the president's first-term approach to great power competition. The strategy prioritizes the Western Hemisphere and positions it as America's main focus. It also downplays threats elsewhere, emphasizes immigration and drug trafficking as grave national security concerns, and commits to removing malign foreign interests from the region.

A Republican group hired people from across the country to come to Utah and gather signatures for a ballot referendum repealing the state's anti-gerrymandering law — but many are coming forward to say they are ill-treated, not getting paid, and reduced to "living in their cars."

The allegations concern Patriot Grassroots, a campaign operation hired by Utahns for Representative Government, the GOP-led group trying to repeal Proposition 4. Earlier this year, a state judge invalidated the GOP's congressional map that carved up Salt Lake City to create four Republican districts, ultimately replacing it with a map that has one Democratic district, which caused an explosion of outrage by the state GOP.

A cabinet official in the Trump administration stunned political analysts and observers on Monday when she claimed during a television interview that a "golden age is right around the corner."

Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins was interviewed on Fox Business on Monday afternoon, where she discussed America's rising cost of living with host Larry Kudlow. Recent polling has shown that the cost of living is a top priority for a wide swath of voters, even though President Donald Trump has dismissed the concerns as a "Democrat scam."

Kennedy Jr. and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced a new initiative on Monday, called the "Make Travel Family Friendly Again" campaign, that puts $1 billion toward facility upgrades for nursing rooms, workout stations, and healthy food options.
