Republicans are panicking and Democrats now have an opportunity to gain some ground, a strategist said on Sunday.

Union organizer and Democratic political consultant Chuck Rocha appeared on CNN over the weekend, and was asked about Donald Trump pulling his nomination of GOP representative Elise Stefanik.

A Wisconsin Democratic leader says Elon Musk wants to buy his way to influence in the state, but warned the world's richest man that the plan could backfire.

Wisconsin Democratic Party Chair Ben Wikler appeared on MSNBC on Sunday, where he was asked to weigh in on Musk's foray into Wisconsin judicial elections.

Vice President J.D. Vance revealed something in the now-infamous Trump administration Signal chat is a bigger deal than the attack plans put forth by Pete Hegseth, according to an expert analyst.

Marc Polymeropoulos, a retired CIA official with 26 years in the agency behind him, appeared on MSNBC over the weekend, where he was asked about the Signal scandal. He claimed that the unsecured chat leak was only part of why people in the Pentagon are tiring of Hegseth's behavior.

Donald Trump on Sunday lashed out at the media in connection with coverage related to his administration inadvertently leaking Yemen attack plans on the Signal app.

Trump took to his Truth Social site over the weekend, first to announce the removal of a White House tree that was planted by Andrew Jackson, and then to praise a GOP lawmaker who defended the administration in connection with the Signal scandal.

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is "on the hot seat" as some in the Pentagon grow tired of his antics, a senior intelligence service official said Sunday.

Marc Polymeropoulos, a retired CIA official with 26 years in the agency behind him, appeared on MSNBC over the weekend, where he was asked about reports that Hegseth brought his wife to sensitive meetings.

Donald Trump Sunday announced that he is regretfully having removed a tree that was planted by Andrew Jackson.

Trump took to his own social media site, Truth Social, to explain his actions.

Senior Republican lawmakers are reportedly upset with Vice President J.D. Vance for going against President Donald Trump.

Vance avoided a lot of the scrutiny in the Signal chat scandal, despite the fact that he was indeed a participant in the conversation which revealed detailed attack plans to top officials, and a reporter who had been accidentally included.

Elon Musk shared a video of a woman yelling at a Tesla Cybertruck driver and called for "arrests" to prevent additional "attacks."

In a Sunday post on his X social media platform, Musk pointed to a video that showed several middle-aged women shouting at a man through the window of his Cybertruck.

A brewing company in Wisconsin was attempting to organize a citizen's arrest of billionaire Elon Musk ahead of his trip to the state for a speech to influence a race for the state's supreme court.

In a post on Facebook over the weekend, the Minocqua Brewing Company encouraged Musk's arrest when he visits the state to stump for Waukesha County Judge Brad Schimel on Sunday. The company argued that Musk illegally handed out $1 million checks to voters who supported Schimel. However, a Wisconsin appellate court has declined to block Musk's giveaway.

International allies of President Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement are starting to worry their affiliation with the U.S. president will negatively affect their own popularity, the Economist reports.

According to the report, “Some leaders on the hard right are now beginning to worry about MAGA muddying their own brand.”

During the panel segment on CNN's "State of the Union," Michigan State Senator Mallory McMorrow stunned a defender of Donald Trump with an accusation that he was engaged in an effort to pit Americans against each other.

This occurred during a discussion on the Signal chat scandal that is bedeviling the Trump administration after top White House officials engaged in banter on the Signal app prior to an attack on Yemen aimed at Houthi rebels while not realizing that a journalist was invited to listen in.

Of greater concern has been Defense Secretary Peter Hegseth detailing the attack plans before they happened that could have led to American military deaths.

That led CNN conservative regular Shermichael Singleton to reach back in the past to the Afghanistan conflict to diminish attacks on Hegseth and Trump's national security adviser Mike Waltz, both of whom are at the center of the scandal as calls for resignations grow.

Fox News host Griff Jenkins confronted a Republican candidate running for former Rep. Matt Gaetz's (R-FL) vacated congressional seat after Democrats dramatically outspent him in the race.

"There's only two ways to run in a campaign, and that is either behind or scared," GOP candidate Jimmy Patronis explained to Jenkins on Sunday. "And we are running hard."

After watching a clip of a popular Fox News host attempt to blow off the "Signalgate" scandal currently afflicting Donald Trump's administration, a former Republican member of the House brutally ripped the excuses apart.

Appearing on MSNBC's "The Weekend," ex-Rep Denver Riggleman (R-VA) took his cue from co-host Michael Steele who referred to Fox host Jesse Watter's comments about Trump officials exposing war planning details to a journalist as a "bucket of stupid."

In the clip from Wednesday Watters complained, "No one outside of D.C. and in the news business really cares about this story. There's no video. There's no sex. there's no fraud –– no one even knows what a Houthi is!"

"What say you, Denver?" Steele prompted his guest. "You know, you were an officer in our military. You served in very secret places. You served in Congress. You know what that chat was and what that chat wasn't."

That led Riggleman to smirk, "Thanks for that, Michael and everybody. That's a large bucket of stupid to navigate, so I appreciate that."

"When you're looking at when he says nothing outside of the Beltway, nobody cares outside the Beltway, there's a lot of military bases outside the Beltway. And when you are a former military officer, and you also did air operations, and you were in 9/11 and Operation Allied Force, and you know what those things were on those Signal chat, you start to get this idea that maybe they've made these mistakes in the past and they're going to make them in the future."


"Let me give you an example," he elaborated. "Everybody's time over target ––that's classified. The airframes that are actually going into that area? That's classified. The specific targets? That's classified."

"All I hear is what a bunch of idiots this crew is," he later added.
