A legal expert chided President Donald Trump's administration on Monday after it suffered its latest major court loss.

Last week, a federal judge in Oregon issued a blistering order against the Trump administration, declaring in no uncertain terms that the Department of Justice cannot be trusted to protect voter rights. The order was issued at a time when the Trump administration is attempting to secure voter registrations from mostly blue states, a move that has alarmed several election experts.

Marc Elias, a voting rights attorney, discussed the ruling in Oregon on a new episode of "Democracy Watch" with progressive YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen.

"Boy, did Donald Trump's DOJ pick the wrong federal judge to wind up in front of, because this judge didn't just rule against the Department of Justice," Elias said.

He added that the judge declared Trump's DOJ "can no longer be taken at its word."

"[The court] can no longer assume that in these cases, when [the DOJ] says it wants these data for legitimate reasons, that in fact it wants them for illegitimate reasons."

The Trump administration also appears to be resorting to other measures to secure the voter data it wants. For instance, Trump's FBI raided an election office in Fulton County, Georgia, and hauled away roughly 700 boxes of materials related to the 2020 general election, including the county's voter rolls.

A GOP lawmaker called out President Donald Trump's Department of Justice on Monday during a live interview on CNN over an inadvertent admission from the Deputy Attorney General about the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) joined CNN's Kaitlan Collins on "The Source," where the two discussed the unredacted Epstein files that Massie and other lawmakers reviewed on Monday. Massie was among a handful of lawmakers who claimed the files were proof that the Trump administration is covering something up because the documents included redacted names for six of Epstein's co-conspirators, while personally identifiable information about Epstein's victims has been released.

Earlier in the day, Massie called out the Trump DOJ for the redactions on social media, posting a picture of one of the documents. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche responded by telling Massie that the DOJ had just unredacted the name on that document, which turned out to be Les Wexler, former CEO of Victoria's Secret.

Massie responded to Blanche's claims on "The Source."

"He unredacted it after I found it," Massie said. "That's a problem. I'm glad they admitted that they made a mistake by redacting that."

"So, you're saying it was redacted when you went in there today, and when you tweeted that, they unredacted it?" Collins asked.

"Yes," Massie said. "And he's got four other names that he needs to unredact as well."

MAGA has lost the culture war it started when President Donald Trump entered office in 2016, and it could cost the president his legacy, one GOP analyst declared on Monday.

Rick Wilson, co-founder of The Lincoln Project, argued in a new Substack essay that MAGA's meltdown over the Super Bowl LX halftime show by Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny proved that MAGA had lost the culture war. However, the MAGA crowd can't seem to shake the "grievance act" because it's the only schtick they know, he added.

"The culture war is over, and MAGA lost; QED Bad Bunny and the NFL," Wilson wrote. "They know the grievance act is wearing thin. But like a gambler who’s down a hundred grand at the craps table, they just keep doubling down on the same losing hand."

Since Trump entered politics in 2016, he has consistently preached a message of bringing America through a revival moment that would make the country feel "great" again to the people who voted for him. That message largely resonated with wealthy white voters who saw the country changing more rapidly than they could accept.

"You can’t shout 'fake news!' at a deposition," Wilson added. "You can’t meme your way out of a federal investigation. The mythology is cracking, and the panic in the Trump White House is palpable enough to track on radar."
