"The View" began April by mocking the Republican Party for opening the door to a conversation about Donald Trump's most deadly mistakes.

Republicans have been promoting a new campaign slogan asking whether people were better off now than they were four years ago, taking them back to the first few months of the COVID-19 pandemic that shut down countries, tanked economies and killed tens of thousands.

Former President Donald Trump demanded that his soon-to-start hush money trial be postponed indefinitely Monday, claiming he can't get a fair trial because of "pre-trial publicity."

The motion left experts laughing.

While serving four months in prison, former White House trade adviser Peter Navarro will not be able to sue the federal government in an effort not to turn over potential presidential records.

In an order issued Monday, a federal court of appeals affirmed a district court's order about whether the government could pursue the return of presidential records from Navarro's personal email account.

The Trump Media & Technology Group, the owner of the Truth Social platform, released new financial data on Monday showing that the company lost $58 million over the last year while posting revenues totaling just $4 million.

The new numbers raised eyebrows about the company's stock price, which surged last week and gave the company a market cap of more than $7 billion at the close of trading.

Judges are starting to realize that their lives and those of their family members are "at stake" says a retired California Superior Court judge who believes the indicted ex-president must face consequences, including jail time, if and when he violates a gag order.

"Bring your toothbrush, Donald Trump because you're going to sit in a jail cell for a while," is the only response that should happen, LaDoris Cordell told CNN when asked, "what happens when Trump breaks that gag order on Truth Social or otherwise?"

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) threatened to oust Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) as House speaker when she triggered a "motion to vacate" against him.

Greene's move brought back memories of 2023, when former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was ousted from that position following a "motion to vacate" set off by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL).

By all accounts, the 2024 election is shaping up into a close race, but there's currently one way the two main campaigns are miles apart: fundraising. President Joe Biden is lapping former President Donald Trump in campaign cash — and Trump loyalists are beginning to sweat about it.

According to Newsweek, "Biden raised nearly $127 million to compete against Trump by the end of February, with about $71 million cash on hand, according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) data."

Over the past few months, Donald Trump has shared videos framing himself as a savior sent by God to defeat President Joe Biden in the 2024 election, elevating himself to a "near superhuman status as a force of destiny and divine retribution against his and the MAGA movement’s enemies," wrote Salon columnist Chauncey DeVega Monday.

Trump's embrace of the savior narrative that's been disseminated by so many of his most loyal evangelical followers led to the promotion of his own branded version of the Bible with “exclusive” content — a move that "anoints himself as a type of prophet, messiah, or Chosen One," of whom "there can be no compromise," DeVega writes.

Donald Trump's social media company Truth Social, which merged and began public stock trading last week, at one point hitting a valuation of over $8 billion, reportedly had revenues of just $4.1 million and lost more than $58 million in 2023.

Citing new SEC filings, Axios reported Monday the "massive disconnect between the financial fundamentals and stock performance of Trump Media & Technology Group, which is valued at more than $7 billion after going public last week."

Former President Donald Trump is making evangelical institutions bow to his will instead of that of their God's, argued conservative commentator David French on MSNBC Monday Morning — and transforming those institutions in the process.

His dire warning, echoed in his recent opinion column "Trump Is No Savior" for The New York Times, came amid a conversation with pastor and civil rights leader Rev. Al Sharpton.

Donald Trump is already looking for his successor to take forward the MAGA agenda after he’s gone, a senator suggested in an interview with Politico.

Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) told the news outlet that Trump’s search for a 2024 vice presidential pick is doubling as a hunt for the person to take the torch from Trump and run as the Republican nominee in 2028.

A community in the Shenandoah Valley in Northwest Virginia is at each other's throats over what to do following the arrest of a prominent school board member for his alleged participation in the January 6 attack on the United States Capitol.

According to The Daily Beast, "At the center of this modern maelstrom is Miles Adkins, who was elected to the Frederick County board as an independent in 2021... While Adkins has been a controversial figure since he took office, things really came to a head after he was arrested in late February for allegedly breaching the Capitol three years ago and swilling Coors Light and Fireball during the riot."

Far-right conspiracy theorists have existed in the Republican Party for generations but, in the past, they weren't as prominent as they are now.

The late National Review founder William F. Buckley Jr. famously shunned the far-right John Birch Society during the 1960s and 1970s, making it abundantly clear that he thought they were terrible for the conservative movement. In contrast, The Bulwark is one of the few right-wing publications that, in 2024, is openly, unapologetically critical of former President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement — and The Bulwark's Never Trump conservatives don't hesitate to call out conspiracy theorists like Infowars' Alex Jones.
