RNC National Committeewoman Patti Lyman called on Steve Bannon's War Room "posse" to ask God to prevent Virginia's new district maps from being used for the midterm elections.

As the Virginia Supreme Court was hearing oral arguments on the new district maps, Lyman predicted a ruling would come in the next few days.

On Monday, former MSNBC host Katie Phang filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia asking the court to compel acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to release the entire Jeffrey Epstein files.

According to Phang, a former prosecutor turned legal analyst at MSNBC (now MS NOW) the DOJ has illegally withheld files and has redacted documents that have been released, denying journalists the ability to delve more deeply into the disgraced felon's contacts and financial ties.

First Lady Melania Trump erupted at comedian Jimmy Kimmel Monday for spreading what she called “hate” – and was promptly told by one prominent political commentator to “walk across the hall” and “start” her crusade against “hate” by speaking with her husband, President Donald Trump.

Last week, Kimmel jokingly referred to Mrs. Trump as an “expectant widow,” a clip of which resurfaced in the wake of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting on Saturday, the suspect of which reportedly penned a manifesto that named Trump as a target.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth might not be feeling comfortable about his future after a Republican senator publicly broke ranks and said that there is growing discomfort in Congress with Hegseth's job performance.

In an interview with The Hill, Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), whose threat to halt the confirmation of Donald Trump’s pick, Kevin Warsh, to head the Federal Reserve was a contributing factor leading to the DOJ to drop an investigation of current chair Jerome Powell, now seems to be turning his focus to Hegseth, a former Fox News personality.

Followers of Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who contributed mightily to Donald Trump’s reelection in 2024, are fuming that the administration is blowing off their concerns as a closely-watched case heads to the Supreme Court on Monday.

According to CNBC reporting, the conservative-leaning court will hear arguments Monday to decide whether federal law preempts state-level lawsuits alleging glyphosate, the chemical in Bayer's herbicide Roundup, causes cancer. Simultaneously, the Republican-majority U.S. House is expected to take up a massive agricultural policy measure that includes new protections for the chemical.

Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) activists feel completely blindsided, according to CNBC, which is reporting the health movement that propelled RFK Jr. to influence within the administration expected Trump to challenge corporate agriculture and chemical industry protection — not become Bayer's champion.

Just months ago, Trump signed an executive order to boost the domestic production of glyphosate-based herbicides, forcing Kennedy himself to intervene and attempt damage control with his base.

Kelly Ryerson, a prominent MAHA advocate known as "the Glyphosate Girl," expressed the depth of her extreme dismay, telling CNBC, "It has been a really, really rough few months because we have an attack coming from the executive branch, the judicial branch and over in Congress."

"The combination of the executive order and going to bat for Bayer at the Supreme Court are really inexcusable," Ryerson continued. "And I think it showed a deep disconnect between what the administration thinks that MAHA cares about and what is actually true."

House Republicans are dismissing MAHA as emotional rather than principled. House Agriculture Chair G.T. Thompson (R-PA), leading the farm bill, attacked the movement as "emotional-driven" and claimed the bill merely ensures "labeling is done in a way with the highest level of science."

Thompson asserted that states retain the ability to alter labels through the EPA process, explaining, "If a state wants to have additional provisions for labeling, they only have to go through the EPA to make that happen, it will be on the label."

That infuriated Ryerson even more.

White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles was expected to convene a meeting this week on protecting President Donald Trump.

In a statement on Monday, the White House confirmed the meeting to PBS NewsHour. The meeting will come just days after a gunman tried to enter the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

President Donald Trump signaled his discomfort with a particularly sensitive topic during a new interview after an alleged would-be assassin charged into an area near the White House Correspondents Dinner.

The 79-year-old president sat down with "60 Minutes" correspondent Norah O'Donnell, who read from alleged gunman Cole Thomas Allen's manifesto accusing Trump of being a "p--------, r----- and traitor," and CNN's John Berman pointed out his reaction as noteworthy.

While Donald Trump said the suspected White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooter “hates Christians,” a purported manifesto not only suggests otherwise, but indicates they “might have” even been “provoked” by a social media post the president made that drew accusations of blasphemy, journalist Ken Klippenstein argued on Monday.

“The guy is a sick guy,” Trump told Fox News on Sunday. “When you read his manifesto, he hates Christians. That's one thing for sure.”
