United States Border Patrol Chief Agent Aaron M. Heitke revealed in a briefing that the boating accident off the coast of San Diego is a "suspected maritime smuggling event."

A boat capsized off the Point Loma Coast. Three people have been confirmed dead and 27 were injured.

CNN host Pamela Brown is the reporter who fact-checked Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS), when he claimed he wants to "move on" from the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol because the country must "heal." At the top of her show Sunday, she called out Marshall and other Republicans who are quick to move on from the issue tearing their party apart.

"Last night I spoke to Roger Marshall of Kansas," Brown began. "He was one of the six senators that voted against certifying the electoral results for two states hours later, and I asked about consequences of decisions like that from GOP lawmakers and if he had any regret."

Former President Donald Trump made a speech at his club this week spouting the same false claims about the 2020 election. Trump hasn't had any rallies since leaving office on Jan. 20 outside of the clubs he owns. Calling it the "fat Elvis" act, CNN host Jim Acosta played the video where Trump claimed that ballots are still being "found," even in states like New Hampshire, which wasn't even a close election.

In an interview with CNN this week, Kansas Sen. Roger Marshall (R) claimed that the world should simply move on from the attacks on the U.S. Capitol and the attempts to overthrow the election.

Marshall was one of those who participated in the election overthrow attempt on Jan. 6 when he voted against accepting election results from states that voted for President Joe Biden.

A Texas man who filmed himself encouraging fellow Trump supporters to storm the U.S. Capitol has now been arrested by the FBI on charges from the Department of Justice.

Andrew Jackson Morgan Jr. was caught on video begging to be shot and teargassed by Capitol Police officers during the attack on the building Jan. 6, BusinessInsider found. "I'm here first, y'all gonna slide in right behind me," he said in a now-deleted video. "I'm gonna take the bullet first. I want the bullet. Give me my bullet!"

Friday, April 23, 2021 is the one-year anniversary of former President Donald Trump's comments to somehow inject disinfectant or use UV lights in the body to cure coronavirus.

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow started off her show with the video of the moment where Trump glances at Dr. Deborah Birx, who appeared horrified and shocked.

Former President Donald Trump released a statement attacking NBA player Lebron James. Evidently, the former president "came out of hiding," MSNBC's Joy Reid said, because he was so triggered by James posting a photo of the police officer who shot and killed a 16-year-old girl in Ohio this week.

Fellow MSNBC host Tiffany Cross, whose show "The Crossfire Connection" airs on weekend mornings, flatly said, "Who cares what Trump has to say." James, she explained was expressing his feelings as a Black man in pain for his community. Trump's pain is still election-related or related to being called impotent on Fox News ads.

Oklahoma state Sen. Nathan Dahm, a Republican from Broken Arrow, used his Earth Day legislation to make a false, sexist, and derogatory statement about Vice President Kamala Harris in an official press release.

Dahm announced legislation that would ban paper straws because he hates them. While most adults can manage drinking from a cup using their mouth, Dahm complained that he needs a plastic straw and that paper simply wouldn't do. What took a turn, however, is that Dahm made a veiled allegation about the vice president that's making his straw legislation look like a sippy cup.

MSNBC host Chris Hayes addressed the audit of the Arizona election done by a pro-Trump group that was using pens that could change the ballots.

The report came from the Arizona Republic's Jen Fifield, who tweeted Friday that she witnessed the pen issue and mentioned it to Doug Logan, the leader of the firm "Cyber Ninjas" handling the audit.

Speaking to MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace on Friday, former FBI official Frank Figliuzzi revealed that more is coming from the bureau as they continue the investigation on the Jan. 6 attack.

It was revealed this week that the FBI had arrested over 400 people and they expect to arrest at least another 100. They've had almost 250,000 tips from people like family members, significant others, former significant others and colleagues who turned them in. But according to Figliuzzi, there is still more coming.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) dodged questions about his relationships with extremist groups in Texas this week. The backlash is around the latest Cruz scandal, his link to a group called True Texas Project. The group refers to Black people as "felons," "rapists," and "looters."

In his non-answer, Cruz said that he can't be up on the latest tweets from every Texan, which MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace called out Friday during her panel. She noted the Washington Post report this week that said that Cruz's father, who often serves as a campaign surrogate for his son, appeared at a meeting of the group at a time when they were celebrating the Jan. 6 attack.

It is official, former President Donald Trump's campaign has been sent to collections for refusing to pay his security bills.

Raw Story has been following the complicated issue of the security debate since Trump entered official. The disagreement is that Trump's campaign believes that he shouldn't have to pay for any additional security because he's covered by the Secret Service. The problem with that is that the Secret Service is assigned to protect Trump, not run the security at a political event.

According to sources speaking to CNN, federal authorities are investigating whether a 2018 trip GOP Congressman Matt Gaetz took to the Bahamas was part of an orchestrated effort to illegally influence him on the issue of medical marijuana.

The Justice Department's Public Integrity Section is looking into whether Gaetz took gifts, including travel and paid escorts, in exchange for political favors, CNN reports.
