Republican lawmakers are publicly celebrating President Donald Trump's immigration raids and mass deportations, but behind the scenes, they're doing something else.

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), one of the most conservative members of Congress, said he's "going to bat for" one immigrant in his district he believes to be "a good guy," NOTUS reported Monday.

Right-wing host Alex Jones got in a shouting match with a viewer minutes after the conspiracy theorist said he tended to believe President Donald Trump's excuse for not releasing files relating to Jeffrey Epstein.

"You're a little Rachel Maddow, aren't you?" a caller named Matt told Jones on Monday. "It's the same thing."

Texas Republicans are trying to find a way to help maintain the slim House GOP majority in the U.S. Congress by implementing new redistricting that allows state members to make Democratic districts more GOP-friendly.

In the past, Democrats have stopped moves like this by vacating the state and blocking a quorum cal — but Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX), came up with a new strategy, tying aid for flooded parts of Texas to a redistricting vote. So, Democrats couldn't flee the state to avoid redistricting unless they also want to hold up funding for people in the flood zones.

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins ripped off a signature move from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem by posing for photos from a python hunt.

The Trump appointee shared a series of photos Monday on X showing her with a python draped across her shoulders and then a closeup shot of inside the snake's mouth, saying she'd gone to the Florida Everglades to hunt the invasive species.

Progressive advocacy organization Indivisible is launching an ambitious new campaign aimed at training more than one million organizers to oppose the policies of U.S. President Donald Trump and his administration.

Over the next several weeks, Indivisible will be hosting online organizing sessions as part of its One Million Rising initiative, which it describes as "a national effort to train one million people in the strategic logic and practice of non-cooperation, as well as the basics of community organizing and campaign design."

House Democrats are pushing back against President Donald Trump’s directive to eliminate Democratic seats in Texas by launching an aggressive redistricting strategy of their own—hiring top attorneys to help cut down the number of GOP-held seats in five key states, in the battle to retake control of the House from Speaker Mike Johnson and the Republicans.

Calling it “an extraordinary push,” CNN reported that House Democratic Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries wants to reorganize the congressional maps in California, New York, New Jersey, Minnesota, and Washington state, to help Democrats pick up as many seats as possible—if the courts allow it.

Disgraced former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn suggested former President Barack Obama should face a "military trial" after Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard accused him of a "treasonous conspiracy" to undermine Donald Trump's presidency.

"I think immediately, immediately, the Department of Justice should suspend or revoke the passports of every single person that was in the national security component of the Obama regime and probably Biden, starting with starting with Obama himself," Flynn told MAGA influencer Steve Bannon on Monday. "I mean, do not allow these people to abscond this from the United States of America because some of them, I guarantee, are contemplating it because of what has been exposed."

Jeffrey Epstein may have died in 2019, but his partner Ghislaine Maxwell remains in prison for her role in some of his schemes. She was convicted of conspiring to sexually abuse minors in 2021, but has appealed.

There is now concern that releasing some of the details of the Epstein files could risk the government's case against Maxwell in the appeal.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, a former personal lawyer for President Donald Trump, accused Democrats of using a "smear campaign" in an attempt to oust acting U.S. Attorney Alina Habba.

As Habba's 120-day appointment as interim U.S. attorney for New Jersey was set to end, Republicans, like Blanche, warned that Democrats were plotting to convince a panel of judges to stop Habba from continuing in her job.
