The teetering campaign of Maine oysterman Graham Platner to be the Democratic Party’s nominee to oppose Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) should she run for re-election in 2026 suffered another blow over the weekend.

According to a report from Axios’ Holly Otterbein on Monday, Kevin Brown, who took the place of departed former political director Genevieve McDonald on the Platner campaign, is bowing out after taking the job last Tuesday.

The co-hosts of "The View" are growing increasingly worried about President Donald Trump's pledge to run for a third term. Trump ally Steve Bannon said he and others are working on a plan to sidestep the 22nd Amendment and ensure Trump can serve a third term.

The 22nd Amendment says that no person can be elected to the presidency more than twice. That includes the vice president, as both the president and the vice president are elected to office.

The Riverside County Sheriff's Department said it was investigating after masked men claiming to be FBI agents invaded a California home and detained a family in Jurupa Valley.

Ring doorbell camera video posted to social media last week shows three masked men claiming to have a search warrant before barging into the home.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is creating a different type of disruption in the town McCook, Nebraska, by making a deal with the Republican governor to take over a work camp and convert it into another undocumented immigrant holding facility.

That led to lawsuits filed by the town's residents.

Former Watergate prosecutor Nick Akerman thinks that Republicans are trying to catch former special counsel Jack Smith in a perjury trap so they can arrest him for investigating President Donald Trump.

Speaking to MSNBC on Monday morning, Akerman, a former assistant U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of New York, said that it's clear Smith is refusing to speak with Congress unless the testimony is public.

President Donald Trump's controversial Federal Housing Finance Agency director Bill Pulte got a polite smackdown from a reporter for complaining that they didn't print his entire politically and racially charged rant about Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).

The controversy stemmed from Punchbowl News printing a quote from Pulte firing back at Warren, who has stepped up her accusations in recent months that the Trump appointee is abusing his power to help the president target political foes. His particular complaint was that they only excerpted the part where he said Warren is "faking an understanding of mortgage finance" and left out his additional personal attacks on her.

President Donald Trump has approved millions of dollars in disaster aid to states he won in 2024 while denying funds to states that did not back him, but an analyst explained that he was hurting his own supporters in blue states.

The president signed off on aid for Nebraska, North Dakota, Missouri and Alaska, going out of his way to point out that he'd won those states when announcing the funds, but denied requests for relief from Maryland, Vermont and Illinois, and The New Republic's Greg Sargent said Trump was making his intentions clear.

Newsmax legal analyst Andrew Napolitano suggested President Donald Trump was not telling the truth when he claimed that a billionaire's $130 million donation could be used to pay military troops during the government shutdown.

Speaking on Monday, Napolitano reacted to the $130 donation by Timothy Mellon, which Trump promised would "make sure that the military got paid."

President Donald Trump revealed Monday that he had undergone an MRI scan during a recent checkup at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center but has remained tight-lipped about what prompted the examination, leading to one medical expert raising serious questions as to the president’s health.

“It's not part of a routine screening examination,” said Dr. Jonathan Reiner, a CNN medical analyst who’s certified in interventional cardiology and internal medicine, speaking on the network Monday.

Indiana Gov. Mike Braun, a Republican, has called the GOP-controlled legislature back to Indianapolis for an emergency session to redraw the congressional district lines for President Donald Trump.

Punchbowl News congressional reporter Laura Weiss shared Braun's press release, noting that a spokesperson for Senate President Pro Temp Rodric Bray (R) said that “the votes still aren't there for redistricting."

President Donald Trump’s plan to get the Department of Justice to reimburse him for legal costs and damages, to the tune of $230 million, because he feels he was criminally pursued as part of a bogus investigation could be derailed by one of his biggest supporters.

Last week, the president floated the idea that he should be reimbursed millions because he was investigated by the DOJ over both evidence that Russia helped him get elected in 2016 as well as the search of his Mar-a-Lago resort to reclaim stolen government documents.
