A conservative YouTuber challenging Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) — whom he accuses of being insufficiently far right — could soon face serious backlash from the MAGA base over newly surfaced insults he levied against former President Donald Trump's teenage son.

The Daily Beast reported Monday night that GOP challenger Brandon Herrera last month relentlessly mocked Trump's 17-year-old son Barron.

The MAGA firebrand who presents himself as a crusader against the federal government's "reckless spending" leads his peers in the House of Representatives when it comes to office expenses, according to a new analysis.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) was reimbursed for nearly $43,800 in office expenses in 2023, according to a Legistorm report filed Tuesday.

Special counsel Robert Hur, who oversaw the investigation into President Joe Biden's retention of classified information, timed his resignation from the Justice Department with the help of Trump-aligned lawmakers ahead of his testimony to Congress, reported the Independent on Monday.

"According to multiple sources familiar with Mr Hur’s plans, the special counsel, who is appearing before the Judiciary Committee at the request of the Republican majority led by Ohio Representative Jim Jordan, has arranged his departure from the Department of Justice to be official as of Monday 11 March, one day before he is scheduled to appear on Capitol Hill," wrote Andrew Feinberg. "Instead of appearing as a DOJ employee who is bound by the ethical guidelines which govern the behaviour of federal prosecutors, he will appear as a private citizen with no constraints on his testimony."

The Justice department could significantly slash its special counsel budget for the next fiscal year, according to a new report.

The projection, which appears in President Joe Biden's budget delivered to Congress Monday, estimates the department will spend $4 million compared with the $29 million budgeted to the previous fiscal year, according to Politico.

A professor at NYU’s Stern School of Business says if Donald Trump wins back the White House, the impact on global growth, inflation, and fiscal deficits will be devastating.

In an op-ed in Market Watch, Nouriel Roubini warned that Trump's proposed economic policies are "now the greatest threat to economies and markets around the world."

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) argued against "effectively" governing and said the Senate should never pass another piece of legislation.

During a Monday interview on Real America's Voice, Johnson was asked about a bill that temporarily funded the government.

Republican political analyst and strategist Susan Del Percio told MSNBC on Monday that Sen. Katie Britt of Alabama killed her shot at being vice president.

In a broader conversation about GOP opposition to new mothers in Congress being allowed to vote remotely for six weeks after giving birth, an MSNBC panel turned to the Republican senator's response to President Joe Biden's State of the Union Address, presented from her kitchen Thursday.

Donald Trump supporters are trying force a recall election of Wisconsin's top elected Republican, assembly speaker Robin Vos, because he refused to impeach the state's head elections official.

Vos infuriated the former president and his supporters by refusing to decertify President Joe Biden's election win, and he angered them even more when he refused to go along with a plan to impeach top election official Meagan Wolfe, reported ABC News.

Former President Donald Trump has often attacked President Joe Biden as "Sleepy Joe," but after Biden's passionate and aggressive State of the Union address, Trump used a different line of attack in response — and mocked Biden's speech impediment.

The Atlantic’s John Hendrickson lamented that Trump has crossed yet another line — one that speaks volumes about his character, or lack thereof.

Fewer than three seconds of the State of the Union Address by President Joe Biden is getting a Republican senator in trouble.

KWTV reported Monday that Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford, the key architect of the conservative border policy that could have passed the House and Senate, appeared to agree with Biden about details in the plan.

Donald Trump just made clear he would like to cut Social Security and Medicare.

One year ago this month, Trump was attacking "potential GOP primary opponents" and "warning ... party leaders to stay away from the popular entitlement programs in their push to cut spending," causing a split in the GOP, Politico reported. "Lawmakers who once backed entitlement overhauls are now openly at odds with colleagues who’d prefer to soften their positions before they face voters in 2024. And a GOP presidential race that’s a referendum on Trump himself is now also becoming one on Medicare and Social Security."

Right-wing host Charlie Kirk blasted Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) for her response to President Joe Biden's State of the Union address.

On his Monday podcast, Kirk joined other Republicans who were unhappy with Britt's speech.
