Two of President Donald Trump's cabinet secretaries were blasted by political analysts and observers on Monday after they held what one person described as an "ego contest" at Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C. about a new family travel initiative.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced a new initiative on Monday, called the "Make Travel Family Friendly Again" campaign, that puts $1 billion toward facility upgrades for nursing rooms, workout stations, and healthy food options.

A sleepy President Donald Trump again appeared to nod off, this time during a White House Cabinet roundtable on Monday afternoon.

The 79-year-old president, who could barely keep his eyes open during a Cabinet meeting last week, again struggled to stay awake during a gathering in which Trump announced a multibillion-dollar aid package for U.S. farmers affected by his trade policies. When Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins began going into detail about the initiative, Trump struggled to pay attention, The Daily Beast reported.

President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform on Monday to demand that Mexico release vast amounts of water to the United States — or face yet another round of tariffs.

"Mexico continues to violate our comprehensive Water Treaty, and this violation is seriously hurting our BEAUTIFUL TEXAS CROPS AND LIVESTOCK," wrote Trump. "Mexico still owes the U.S over 800,000 acre-feet of water for failing to comply with our Treaty over the past five years. The U.S needs Mexico to release 200,000 acre-feet of water before December 31st, and the rest must come soon after. As of now, Mexico is not responding, and it is very unfair to our U.S. Farmers who deserve this much needed water."

A CNN anchor was taken aback on Monday night after an investigation revealed more clips of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth bashing President Donald Trump before he joined the administration.

On Monday, CNN's KFile revealed new video of Hegseth questioning whether Trump could unite the American military back in 2016. The video was released at a time when Hegseth is facing increasing scrutiny for his participation in a Sept. 2 strike against an alleged drug boat where the military killed two survivors of the initial strike while their boat was capsized.

MAGA Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas threatened state school districts on Monday that they will face "meaningful disciplinary action" if they dare to stand in his way of expanding the organization formerly led by slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk, according to a new report.

Abbott said during a news conference at the Texas Governor's mansion on Monday that he is working to expand chapters of Turning Point USA, the organization that Kirk led until his death, to every high school across Texas. Fox News reported that Abbott, a Republican, described the chapters, called Club America, as a "revival of foundational values on campuses and compared the movement to earlier faith-oriented groups that once dominated student life."

First lady Melania Trump promoted a high-dollar handbag on her social media accounts on Monday as her husband rages that the concerns Americans have about the cost of living are a "Democrat scam," according to a new report.

Melania Trump posted about a handbag designed by Alexandra Gucci Zarini, the great-granddaughter of Gucci founder Guccio Gucci, The Daily Beast reported on Monday. A fifth of the proceeds from the handbag's sale will support Fostering the Future, a White House initiative to provide employment opportunities to children in foster care, according to the report.

Political analysts and observers warned on Monday that President Donald Trump's latest move shows that "something is very wrong" with his economy, despite his claims that he has resurrected America's "Golden Age."

The Bureau of Labor Statistics announced on Monday that it was going to roll October's employment data into the November release that is scheduled to be published in January. Trump has worked to revamp the BLS during his second administration, going so far as to fire the agency's top statistician, Erika McEntarfer, in August after the BLS released a jobs report that contradicted Trump's messaging about the economy.

Democrats who are hoping to snatch control of the House away from Republicans and Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) in 2026 are going to get a major boost from former Republicans who want to see Donald Trump neutered for the last two years he is in office.

According to a report from Politico’s Andrew Howard, the Save America Movement PAC has launched a new initiative labeled “Save America Seats,” with plans to raise and spend $100 million in support of Democratic challengers targeting GOP-held seats.

Democrats praised a progressive politician in Colorado on Monday after she filed paperwork to run for Sen. John Hickenlooper's (D-CO) seat.

Julie Gonzales, a progressive state Senator in Colorado, announced her primary challenge against Hickenlooper on Monday, according to a report by The Colorado Sun. Gonzales has served in the state senate since 2019 and is well-known for her work to pass Colorado's strict gun control laws and laws protecting abortion care in the state.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy admitted Monday afternoon that he did "not have a plan" to lower airport food prices as a part of President Donald Trump's family-centric travel initiative.

Duffy made the admission during a news conference on Monday.
