Former White House Communications Director Alyssa Farrah Griffin said during an appearance on CNN's "The Source" with Kaitlan Collins on Monday that getting convicted of a felony would do serious damage to former President Donald Trump's 2024 campaign.

"What's interesting to me is... the number of Republicans that wouldn't support Trump if he was convicted is astonishingly high," she said. "It ends up being about a third of the Republican Party who said they couldn't vote for a convicted felon.

Seth Meyers tried to decipher Donald Trump's social media pulse-taking of the public to determine whether or not he resembles the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley, or the Batman super-villain "Two-Face."

“For so many years, people have been saying that Elvis and I look alike," the 45th president wrote on TruthSocial over the weekend. "Now this pic has been going all over the place. What do you think?”

President Joe Biden threw a little shade Monday at the Republican frontrunner ousted from the White House four years ago.

Biden cracked a smile and chuckled when he heard former President Donald Trump wanted to debate him “immediately,” video posted to X by The Recount shows.

Tears of joy are falling by Colorado constituents after learning Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) wouldn't seek reelection for her 3rd District seat in 2024, and instead attempt to replace outgoing Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) in Colorado's 4th Congressional District.

"It is the right decision for me personally, and it is the right decision for those who support our conservative movement. This is the right decision for Colorado, for us," she said in an almost 5-minute-long video.

Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) agreed to kill the GOP's own border security bill on Monday evening, just three hours after coming out with emphatic support for it.

McConnell spoke to the press in support, but when speaking to his caucus, he caved in to pressure from the MAGA wing of the GOP to stop the bill, so Joe Biden wouldn't have a "win" on the issue. It's the closest the Senate has come to an actual deal on immigration in nearly two decades.

As the future of the bipartisan border deal looks bleak, former President Donald Trump — who was instrumental in getting Republicans to turn against the plan — is now claiming that he never even supported the election of the senator who helped write it.

Just one problem, according to The Daily Beast: He did.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) traded barbs with Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA) on the social media site "X" Monday — and got more than she bargained for.

The far-right lawmaker, who is best known for having embraced QAnon conspiracy theories before being elected and getting expelled from the far-right Freedom Caucus, took a shot at McGovern after he lambasted her in a House Rules Committee meeting, where he sits as ranking member.

In a stunning reversal, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is urging the Senate G.O.P. caucus to vote against the bipartisan border security and foreign defense aid package. It comes after spending weeks helping a bipartisan group of senators craft it, and just hours after he spoke in favor of the legislation.

The development was reported by Punchbowl News' Jake Sherman, who said McConnell's announcement came in a closed-door Republican strategy session with his colleagues.

A new document from special counsel Jack Smith's legal team shows one of former President Donald Trump's lawyers once claimed he didn't own a computer, Politico reporter Betsy Woodruff Swan said.

Swan appeared on MSNBC Monday to discuss the Friday filing in Smith's confidential documents case filed against Trump in Florida's federal court.

The shadow president in Palm Beach, Florida is flexing his political sway over the GOP to terminate a Southern Border bill and bruise the current guard led by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Minority Whip John Thune (R-SD) in the process.

Former President Donald Trump's MAGA faithful are attempting to stick a fork in the $118 billion to fortify border enforcement policy with support for war-torn Ukraine, Israel, and other U.S. allies "to make Senate leadership sweat," according to Axios, citing a source.

Former federal court Judge J. Michael Luttig was stunned by a "cynical" defense filed by former President Donald Trump in the Supreme Court case challenging his eligibility to appear on Colorado's ballot under the 14th Amendment's insurrectionist ban.

Luttig, a Republican who served on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, took to the social media site "X" on Monday evening to explain his shock at the arguments made by the former president's attorneys, which he argued were tantamount to admitting defeat.

Rep. Mark Green (R-TN) was busted by his colleague Rep. Joe Neguse (D-CO) as he tried to defend the impeachment process against President Joe Biden — using his own words from five years ago when the shoe was on the other foot.

"Chairman Green, I have an editorial here that I want to enter into the record," said Neguse. "The title is, 'Americans are the victims of the impeachment inquiry.' It's an opinion piece. The subtitle is, 'A lot of bipartisan legislation that enjoys widespread support sits gathering dust while Congress focuses on the impeachment inquiry.' I assume you disagree with this?"

The state decisions barring former President Donald Trump from the ballot under the Insurrection Clause of the 14th Amendment are a severe problem for the Supreme Court, said conservative commentator Charlie Sykes on MSNBC Monday.

But ultimately, he said, Chief Justice John Roberts and much of the rest of the court will try to find a way out that doesn't require them to uphold those decisions.
