Republican Missouri Gov. Mike Parson last year attacked a St. Louis Dispatch reporter who discovered a security flaw in a government website that exposed the personal information of Missouri teachers.

When the reporter reported it to the authorities it wasn't met with a "thank you," but an outright attack and threats of arrest by Parson.

"Russia, if you're listening," was the plea that former President Donald Trump made in 2016 as he desperately tried to find some bit of "dirt" to bring down Hillary Clinton.

It turns out that another Republican also tried that same tactic in 2016.

Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner walked through the next steps if former President Donald Trump is indicted in the many suits he's facing.

As Kirschner explained in a video posted on Monday, many of the legal challenges Trump is facing seem to be coming together at once this month.

One-time conservative columnist and self-described "wet Tory," Jennifer Rubin wrote Monday that Republican governors are already receiving a backlash that could upend their party's political prospects.

Rubin's latest column cited Gov. Glenn Youngkin, who won the Virginia race with just 50.6 percent of the vote in 2021. He now faces an approval rating of a mere 41 percent with 43 percent disapproval. Youngkin has been in office for a little over one month and has alienated many in the state by embracing Trump-friendly policies such as a total ban on mandatory masking in schools.

A Loudoun County, Virginia mother's eyes filled with tears as she presented stacks of papers she said were being "served" to the school district in a lawsuit as part of a right-wing legal strategy that an NBC News reporter is calling an example of "paper terrorism."

The lawsuits are being filed by a group called Bonds for the Win, a kind of shell company used to sue the Virginia school district.

In a panel discussion about former President Donald Trump's legal troubles, former federal prosecutor Barbara McQuade noted that there are legal troubles that might stop him on his path to the Office of the Presidency in 2024.

While Trump faces civil problems from the New York attorney general and additional financial issues with his inaugural committee in Washington, D.C., it could be another issue entirely that causes him problems.

John Oliver returned Sunday night to a new season of "Last Week Tonight," railing against the Republicans' latest lie that some law school idea is being taught to kindergarteners.

He began with a smackdown of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), who claimed at a right-wing conference that critical race theory was just as racist as the klansmen in the white sheets.

Former deputy Attorney General Harry Litman estimated that former President Donald Trump will likely be forced into a deposition in about 30 days. That takes into account Trump will demand the Supreme Court rescue him, which Litman doesn't think is possible.

Discussing the New York civil case, Litman explained that past playbooks by Trump don't appear to be working as he works to escape accountability for his company.

French President Emmanuel Macron proposed a United States and Russia summit between President Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin, according to Agence France-Presse. Biden has indicated that he's supportive of this as long as Russia doesn't attack or move into Ukraine. CNN reported, however, that this could be misinformation from Russia, however.

There was a fear Sunday that Russians were moving closer to an attack as troops moved closer to Ukraine along the northwest border with Ukraine.

Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) appeared on Alex Jones' show Sunday to air her latest list of grievances.

According to Greene, people treat her like she's "a crazy person," which she seemed offended by. "And it just bothers me so much."

In a conversation about the Canadian trucker protest, Republican strategist Rick Wilson explained that this fight is really nothing more than an opportunity to ignite the right and fight back against institutions and experts under the guise that the "elites" shouldn't be trusted.

Speaking to MSNBC on Sunday, Wilson said that attempting to bring those in power means that people like Steve Bannon can weasel his way into power.

Sunday is the first time that Fox Nation has a NASCAR car in a race, and things didn't start off in much of a positive way. The Daytona 500 began with a wreck before the end of the first stage.

"A David to NASCAR’s Goliath, Spire Motorsports boasts one of the smallest rosters in the league competing against teams of almost 300. But, don’t let this underdog crew of men and women fool you," the Fox website said in their report last week. "What they lack in manpower, they make up for in teamwork and state-of-the-art technical prowess."
