Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly snubbed her incoming Republican counterpart in the days ahead of President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration.

Following her defeat in November in what was a contentious campaign, Harris has not invited Vice President-elect J.D. Vance for a formal sit-down or tour of the Naval Observatory residence, where Vance and his family will live come Jan. 20, Democratic and Republican sources told CBS News.

New York Times reporter Glenn Thrush called Attorney General Merrick Garland's final acts in his office "mind-blowing."

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace spoke with Thrush, former top prosecutor Andrew Weissmann, and historian Ruth Ben-Ghait about why the Justice Department has been outplayed.

President-elect Donald Trump is taking over the "staggering challenge" of a military that is unprepared to fight America's enemies, conservative analyst Max Boot wrote for The Washington Post — and worse still, he has nominated a man to lead it who doesn't understand why.

This comes as Trump's pick to lead the Department of Defense, Fox News personality Pete Hegseth, has come under fire for his history of alleged sexual misconduct, heavy drinking, and advocacy to pardon war criminals — and it also comes as Trump refuses to rule out using military force to seize territories like Greenland and the Panama Canal Zone as part of a neo-imperialist project.

Trump officials are ordering long-time National Security Council staff to divulge who they voted for in the 2024 election, according to a report Monday.

The Associated Press wrote that the career civil servants are being grilled about their voting history, political contributions and past posts they’ve made on social media that are deemed possibly critical of the incoming president.

Tennessee state Rep. Gloria Johnson (D), who along with Reps. Justin Jones and Justin Pearson became the Tennessee Three after they protested gun violence on the state House floor, called out a Republican governor on Sunday.

Tennessee Governor Bill Lee, who quickly drew tremendous outrage in the wake of a school mass shooting where six people including three young children were shot to death after he said he was “praying for the school, congregation & Nashville community,” without posting any mention of the mass shooting itself, recently chimed in on the California fires.

Comedian Bill Maher's new special was predictable and out of touch, a professor argued Sunday.

Georgetown University Jewish Civilization professor Jacques Berlinerblau has previously claimed that Donald Trump is creating entirely new types of antisemitism.

Donald Trump's number two has found himself to be the number one target of several faithful members of the MAGA movement, including Jan. 6 rioters.

Vance told Fox News on Sunday that not all Jan. 6 defendants deserved pardons, specifically saying those who engaged in violence could potentially be excluded.

During an appearance on MSNBC "The Weekend," legal analyst and former SDNY prosecutor Kristy Greenberg reported that District Court for the Southern District of Florida Judge Aileen Cannon once again tried to throw Donald Trump a lifeline late Saturday with another demand for the Department of Justice in an effort to keep a damaging Jack Smith report from being released.

Speaking with the hosts on MSNBC, Greenberg expressed exasperation with the Trump-appointed jurist and, along with the hosts, ripped into her with the prosecutor labeling her an attention seeker, and MSNBC's Michael Steele calling her "in the tank" for the man who handed her a lifetime appointment.

"So what is she doing?" Greenberg asked rhetorically. "She's doing what she needs to do like she's like a real housewife who got the assignment. She's trying to create a storyline for herself for this week, to be able to create drama, to be able to make sure to punt this until he [Trump] can come in and try and bury it –– hopefully the 11th circuit stops it."

"Just yesterday she ordered DOJ to say, 'Tell me more about why the January 6th report has nothing to do with these defendants," she explained. "About half an hour ago, DOJ said, 'Has nothing to do with these defendants, and you don't have jurisdiction.'"

Asked about Cannon's future, the former prosecutor stated, "At least right now, there isn't anything at the end of the road for her because she's very useful to Donald Trump exactly where she is –– you know, where Mar-a-Lago is. She's pretty much the only game in town. The cases generally get wheeled out to her, there aren't that many other judges in that division, so I think for right now she will be where she is."

"I mean, again, I hate to say that about a judge, but we have seen this movie time and time again from her, where every time she goes wildly outside of the law," she added. "I mean, her rulings are lawless. She has defied 150 years of precedent in saying that the special counsel was improperly appointed. I mean all of her rulings in this case were so outside the bounds of law and always in Donald Trump's favor so at some point, you need to call a spade a spade and you need to say something else is afoot here."

Co-host Steele added, "She's in the tank and she has been from day one and it's unfortunate because she is a stain on the entire judiciary. She's not credible in the role that she plays, and it's unfortunate that we find ourselves subject to this neophyte judge who doesn't even know the rules of precedent and procedure. And so from, from that standpoint, I'm of the view I don't care how you release it, just get the damn thing released. because we have we have nickle and dimed around this. [Attorney General] Merrick Garland has been wholly useless in this process."

Donald Trump's attorney is "taking heat" after saying she is a "big fan" of a right-wing internet influencer who has been accused of trafficking women.

Alina Habba represented Trump in court when the then-candidate was accused of and ultimately found liable for the sexual abuse of writer E. Jean Carroll. More recently, Trump announced a role for Habba in his upcoming administration.

Donald Trump has forged close ties with the world's richest man in the world, Elon Musk, but the President-elect's fan base is lashing out at Musk's social network.

The apparent origin of the controversy is the blow-up between Musk himself, who advocated for legal immigration policies that benefit his companies, and many in the MAGA base, who hope to curtail all types of incoming immigrants.

Special counsel Jack Smith, who spearheaded multiple criminal cases against Donald Trump, has reportedly resigned from the Department of Justice.

Smith was rumored to be ready to leave after he formally announced he was wrapping up the federal proceedings against the President-elect. The law forbids federal cases from being pursued against the White House occupant.
