A top federal prosecutor in Texas lashed out at CBS News’ “60 Minutes” over its report on the deportation of a Texas father who had lived in the United States for 25 years, accusing the program of “fake news” and telling those in the country illegally, “Don’t be here in the first place.”

U.S. Attorney Aaron Reitz took particular issue with the program’s description of the deported man as a “Texas father.”

“This happened in my district,” Reitz wrote Monday on X, saying “60 Minutes” “is reporting fake news.”...

Following plans made by her late husband, Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk has pushed the organization to sink as many resources as needed into ousting Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs (D).

If she fails, the Daily Mail reported, it could raise new questions about her leadership.

According to the report, Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated in September 2025, endorsed controversial Rep. Andy Biggs (R) in May of that year. It was an early move in the Republican primary to back the strongest possible candidate against Hobbs....

A MAGA lawmaker crusading to strip Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) of her citizenship refused to spare first lady Melania Trump and Elon Musk from his sweeping deportation push.

Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) was pressed Monday on NewsNation on whether his proposed crackdown on naturalized citizens should also apply to high-profile immigrants with close ties to President Donald Trump.

“I believe that anyone who lied on their paperwork to become a citizen should be denaturalized and should be deported,” Fine said....

President Donald Trump’s bans on critical news outlets are leaving Americans with something closer to “government propaganda,” a press freedom advocate warned Monday as a new lawsuit challenges his administration’s media restrictions.

The lawsuit seeks a broader court order against the restrictions, arguing that they harm the public as well as the journalists being excluded, The Washington Post reported.

“The White House cannot decide what information Americans receive by punishing critical reporting,” said Katie Fallow, deputy litigation director at the Knight First Amendment Institute. “When the White House expels reporters because of their coverage and threatens others with expulsion, it isn’t just the press that suffers — the public loses access to independent reporting and gets something closer to government propaganda.”...

Some Republican lawmakers who will not be sworn in next January, when the 120th U.S. Congress convenes, are being accused of not being team players by conservatives trying to avoid a complete "beat down" next week.

According to Politico, a growing number of "retiring or ousted GOP incumbents," from Nevada to North Carolina, are sitting out the races for their seats. Some are openly bucking their own party.

Outgoing Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) has raised money for other Republican Senate candidates, but not for Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who beat him in the primary with Trump’s support. For months, Cornyn has warned about Paxton’s vulnerabilities and said Democrats could flip Texas blue for the first time in decades....

With a strong possibility that control of the Senate will flip to Democrats after next week’s midterms, there is growing concern among administration officials that positions needing Senate approval are headed for a rough road.

According to the Washington Post, the number of vacant Senate-confirmed positions "is the highest since Ronald Reagan was in office," according to an analysis by the Partnership for Public Service, a watchdog group that tracks presidential appointments. Current and former officials say they are "frustrated" that the White House personnel office "has not kept pace."

A mix of high turnover, slow confirmations and withdrawn nominations has “created a situation in which there’s unprecedented levels of vacancies across leadership positions in the federal government,” said Chris Piper, senior manager at the Partnership for Public Service....

President Donald Trump's Justice Department asked a judge for a delay that would keep the warrant for the unusual raid on the home of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) secret through the midterm elections.

Lawyers in U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s office asked Chief Judge James Boasberg in a motion filed Wednesday to push back the deadlines for answering three requests to unseal the warrant records.

Neither of the two timelines the government proposed would release the records before the election on Nov. 3....

Michigan Republican Mike Rogers appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday was panned on MS NOW Monday morning for being a waste of time because he just sucked up to Donald Trump.

It was so bad that “Morning Joe” co-host Joe Scarborough refused to share any clips from it and said he would have pulled the plug immediately after it began if it had been on his show.

Speaking with host Kristen Welker, Rogers, who is facing Dr. Abdul Al-Sayed for a seat in the Senate representing Michigan, ducked questions about Donald Trump — specifically his tariffs — while also attacking “you guys on the national press,” calling a question about whether he considers himself “MAGA” as “disgusting.”...

President Donald Trump left countless onlookers taken aback Saturday after speaking with reporters ahead of his rally in Georgia — and, according to some critics, having a difficult time doing so.

“Speaking to reporters before traveling to Georgia for a rally, Trump could barely speak, but what he said was nutso,” wrote independent journalist Aaron Rupar in a social media post on X to his more than 1.1 million followers.

Trump spoke with reporters Saturday moments after casting his early ballot in Palm Beach, Florida, and at times became combative as reporters pressed him on topics such as government corruption, golfing and the midterms....
