Rep. Tom Kean Jr. (R-NJ) has been mystifying Capitol Hill for months with his protracted absence due to an unspecified medical issue. Now he's introducing legislation — even though he hasn't actually returned to work yet.

According to NOTUS, Kean "became the lead sponsor of H.R.9061" on Friday — a bill that would require clear guidance from the federal government to states on whether to cover early screenings for preeclampsia, a life-threatening pregnancy complication, in Medicaid and CHIP.

Former Brazilian model Amanda Ungaro made explosive claims about first lady Melania Trump over the weekend, tying her to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, according to a new report.

Ungaro shared a WhatsApp recording on X in which she accused her former partner, Paolo Zampolli, one of Trump's appointees to the Kennedy Center's Board of Trustees, of lying about introducing the Trumps in 1998, the report added.

The American Civil Liberties Union is filing a lawsuit against the Trump administration over conditions at the controversial Camp East Montana migrant facility near El Paso, Texas, alleging that the site is turning into a "civil rights catastrophe."

According to ABC News, civil rights organizations "are accusing Immigration and Customs Enforcement of subjecting immigrant detainees to wide-ranging 'inhumane' conditions and treatment, including physical abuse, sexual harassment, 'abhorrent medical care,' spoiled food, and inappropriate use of force" — all of which comes after a series of suspicious deaths at the facility.

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin had few words Monday for his loudest MAGA critic: "He's irrelevant to me."

Asked at a press conference about retired Border Patrol Commander-at-Large Gregory Bovino and "the criticism he's been leveling at the department," Mullin didn't blink. "I never met the guy. He's irrelevant to me. I don't know who he is," the secretary said, then moved on.

A long-time GOP analyst compared President Donald Trump's dying "anti-weaponization" fund to an iconic scene from the movie "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" during an interview on CNN.

Trump's fund was established as part of a settlement between the Trump Department of Justice and the IRS for a case involving Trump's leaked tax returns. The nearly $1.8 billion fund was designed to pay people who allege that they were wrongfully prosecuted by the federal government, and multiple of Trump's allies have said they plan to file claims seeking restitution.

President Donald Trump's administration pulled the plug on his $1.776 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund" after a federal judge temporarily blocked it over the weekend — but that doesn't mean the rising confrontation it's caused between the White House and Republicans on Capitol Hill is over, Punchbowl News' Jake Sherman told MS NOW's Katy Tur on Monday.

"Maybe you have some information about what Speaker Mike Johnson might have said to the president when he was at the White House a little bit earlier today," Tur asked Sherman, referring to the recent meeting on the status of the reconciliation bill, which Republicans have debated updating with language limiting the fund.

The first day of Pride Month sent the hosts of The Charlie Kirk Show into a tailspin, with the two men warning that rainbow logos and a celebratory June are quietly steering America toward demographic collapse.

President Donald Trump's administration is planning to pull the plug on his $1.776 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund" to pay out people supposedly victimized by "lawfare" — a controversial plan that critics claimed was a slush fund to pay out money to Jan. 6 rioters and other allies of the president convicted of crimes.

According to Axios, White House officials are set to comply with a court order putting the fund on pause and don't have plans at this time to contest the court's action or try to resume it later.
