Mary Trump, a clinical psychologist and niece of Donald Trump, told MSNBC Monday night that her uncle is “on a cognitive decline” because of his decadeslong psychiatric disorders that have gone undiagnosed – and which she suggested may include “an undiagnosed learning disorder.”

Speaking out about a New York Times analysis raising questions about the former president’s rambling speeches, Trump maintained that her uncle is a “deeply unhealthy person” who has been “entirely out of his depth” since winning the presidency in 2016. She added that her uncle is under an extraordinary amount of pressure and stress, which she said could add to his “potentially several undiagnosed personality disorders.”

The Michigan secretary of state joined CNN on Monday night to react to a new report that identified the campaign aide for former President Donald Trump who prosecutors said tried to "sow confusion" in Detroit, at one point even urging a colleague to "find a reason" to challenge legitimate votes that heavily favored Joe Biden.

Special counsel Jack Smith wrote in his massive new filing in Trump's Washington, D.C. election subversion case that "Person 5," a campaign employee and co-conspirator, "tried to sow confusion" during the vote count process. When told by a colleague that they believe the batch of votes is right and "heavily" favored Biden, "Person 5" responded "find a reason it isn't" and "give me options to file litigation" — "even if itbis (sic)."

Suggesting that Vice President Kamala Harris “isn’t competent to run a bingo game at the community center,” Trump senior adviser Stephen Miller laid into a top Harris spokesperson Monday night for suggesting that Donald Trump backed out of a "60 Minutes" sit-down interview because the former president is “avoiding the media.”

The social media feud between Miller and Harris-Walz senior national spokesperson Ian Sams ensued shortly after the airing of the traditional “60 Minutes” candidate interview, which Trump was notably absent from despite originally agreeing to.

A former Trump White House deputy press secretary told an MSNBC host Monday evening that Vice President Kamala Harris is hitting the right notes in her media tour by going on shows that are key to the media diet of disengaged voters and saying things that will appeal to them.

The key example they focused on was "Call Me Daddy" with Alexandra Cooper, one of the nation's most popular podcasts, where Harris hit back at the recent comments by Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-AR) that Harris, not being a biological mother, didn't have kids to keep her "humble."

In a Monday column published by The Atlantic, Princeton history professor Sean Wilentz explains how special counsel Jack Smith's massive filing in Donald Trump's presidential immunity case outsmarts the US Supreme Court.

The filing, according to Wilentz, "both fleshes out and sharpens the evidence of Donald Trump’s sprawling criminal conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election."

Vice President Kamala Harris owns a Glock and she wants everyone to know she’s shot it, too.

“I have a Glock, and I’ve had it for quite some time,” the Democratic nominee told CBS News host Bill Whitaker in a “60 Minutes” interview Monday night. “And I mean, look Bill – my background is in law enforcement, so there you go.”

Former President Donald Trump's insinuation that migrants have "bad genes" during his interview with right-wing talk radio host Hugh Hewitt on Monday contains echoes of murderous hatred from the past, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas warned MSNBC's Jen Psaki.

"You are a child of immigrants yourself, also as Secretary of Department of Homeland Security, you oversee, you watch this issue closely," said Psaki, who previously served as White House press secretary. "I want to play something he said this morning and get your thoughts on that."

A former White House communications director for Donald Trump ripped her old boss Monday over the MAGA leader's falsehoods relating to hurricane response in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.

Alyssa Farah Griffin joined CNN anchor Anderson Cooper on Monday night to discuss the former president's false statements over the weekend that Helene victims were only receiving $750 in disaster relief.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' latest bid to try to suppress the ballot referendum campaign to restore abortion rights in his state is "comically unconstitutional," a legal reporter wrote for Slate.

The campaign has already seen intimidation, as some people who signed petitions to approve the measure, Amendment 4, have been questioned by police. But DeSantis has now escalated dramatically, with his Department of Health threatening in a letter to prosecute TV stations that air ads in favor of the amendment for "sanitary nuisance" — a law intended to apply to physical pollution hazards like improperly sealed septic tanks, which would subject employees of the TV stations to up to 60 days in jail.

Describing it as an “extraordinary clear choice” that he is “100% comfortable with,” former Rep. Pete Deutsch (D-Fla.) announced his endorsement for Donald Trump on Monday, citing concerns over Israel and adding that the former president is best equipped to achieve world peace.

“I’m feeling very comfortable today publicly announcing that I’m endorsing Donald Trump to be reelected as president and I’m planning on voting for him on Nov. 5,” Deutsch said in a press call Monday, which marked the first anniversary of the Oct. 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel.

Republicans, driven by former President Donald Trump, have pushed unfounded claims for days that the Federal Emergency Management Agency has been absent on the ground in states devastated by Hurricane Helene, like North Carolina — and even asserted that the Biden administration raided FEMA's budget to shelter immigrants and denied relief to areas that vote Republican, none of which is true.

On Monday, Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign hit back with a lengthy thread on X, tallying up many Republicans making a false claim that FEMA is offering $750 per person in disaster areas, and reminding the GOP that not only is FEMA doing its job, a great many Republicans — including some whose states were affected by the disaster — voted against the funding that is letting FEMA do so.

An interview on "60 Minutes" was to air Monday night featuring Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.

Bill Whitaker sat down with Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, and talked about the duo's priorities, values, and what they think voters should know.

In an op-ed published by HuffPost last week, Cyd Chartier — a writer who grew up in the Christian Move of God group — details the "eerie resemblances" between the ministry's leader and Donald Trump.

Sam Fife, who died in 1979, founded the group in the early 1960s "after he was allegedly booted from the Baptist church for adultery," according to a Monday report by The Independent.
