Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-TX) bashed the GOP on Monday for slow-walking a high-profile investigation that the MAGA base expects them to execute during President Donald Trump's second term.

During an interview on MAGA influencer Benny Johnson's eponymous podcast, Hunt said Republicans have not been focused on re-investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection and releasing new evidence and footage of the event. He said Republicans appear uninterested in fighting back against the narrative surrounding Jan. 6.

The Trump administration has added a new requirement to its performance reviews this year that requires workers in the Department of Health and Human Services to produce evidence that they “clearly and demonstrably support implementation” of President Donald Trump's agenda, according to a new report.

HuffPost reported on Monday that "tens of thousands" of HHS employees have received notice that the new requirements will be on their end-of-year reviews. The new metric, dubbed “Faithful Support of Administration of the Law and the President’s Policies,” is one of four new "critical elements" added to their performance reviews, according to the report.

MAGA fans melted down on Monday after a judge ruled that Tyler Robinson, who is accused of killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk during a speaking engagement at a Utah university in September, is allowed to wear street clothes during his trial.

The New York Post reported on Monday that Robinson's lawyers requested that he be allowed to wear civilian clothing during the trial. Judge Tony Graf of Utah's Fourth District Court ruled in favor of the motion but denied another motion that would have allowed Robinson to attend trial without shackles or restraints, according to the report.

Former Labor Secretary and class warrior Robert Reich took to social media on Monday to sound the alarm about something "flying under the radar that you should know about."

Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy is beginning to anger the White House as drama over his temporary position as administrator of NASA and the "internal wrangling" over the future of the critical agency spills out into the open, CNN reported on Monday.

"Duffy ... has said privately that he would like to not only hold the space chief title permanently, but also fold NASA into the Department of Transportation, one source told CNN," said the report — all of which is causing "frustration" for the White House. "Duffy now has competition as Jared Isaacman – the Elon Musk associate whose nomination for the position was pulled by Trump earlier this year – has re-emerged as a candidate for the top job at NASA."

Christian nationalist pastor and right-wing political activist Sean Feucht said during a recent podcast interview that President Donald Trump is planning a Christian "revival" service as part of the upcoming America 250 celebration, according to a new report.

President Donald Trump's "trolling" about running for a third term seems to be a way for the president to maintain relevancy as he approaches the midterm of his second administration, according to one analyst.

Sabrina Singh, a former Pentagon spokesperson, discussed statements made by Trump and his allies about running for a third term on CNN's "The Arena" with Kasie Hunt on Monday. Her comments come after former presidential advisor Steve Bannon said during an interview with The Economist that there is a "plan" in place to make sure Trump is president in 2028 and beyond.
