'Gestapo' ex-Border Patrol boss collides with Trump by launching his own White House bid

The man California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) called "Gestapo Greg" is now gunning for the White House — and he's ready to take on whoever President Donald Trump has in mind as his successor.

Gregory Bovino, the firebrand former Border Patrol commander-at-large who became the face of Trump's brutal immigration crackdowns in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Minneapolis, has launched an exploratory committee for a 2028 presidential bid, NewsNation confirmed Monday. The move puts him on a direct collision course with Trump, who has publicly backed a Vance-Rubio ticket as his preferred succession plan.

'Absurd': MAGA rep mocked for claiming people 'dumpster diving for ballots' in California

Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) claimed on Monday that people in California were dumpster diving for ballots after Republicans saw a serious setback in the Los Angeles mayor race and votes continued six days after the primary.

The MAGA lawmaker made the unfounded fraud remarks during a Newsmax interview, commenting on the ongoing ballot count in California and responding to the GOP's frustration as former reality TV star and GOP candidate Los Angeles mayor candidate Spencer Pratt slipped out of the runoff race, placing third behind incumbent Mayor Karen Bass and Los Angeles City Councilmember Nithya Raman.

MAGA defies Trump by cheering endorsed candidate's downfall: 'The most humiliating thing'

With Donald Trump's endorsed candidate facing a potentially embarrassing primary Tuesday, some of the loudest voices in MAGA world are rooting for him to lose — and they're not whispering about it.

On Monday's edition of Steve Bannon's War Room, Bannon and Noel Fritsch — a conservative campaign consultant working for GOP Senate candidate Mark Lynch — gleefully torched Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on the eve of South Carolina's Republican primary, warning the four-term incumbent could fall below the 50% threshold required to avoid a runoff.

Trump risks sending oil 'well above $200 per barrel' as he nears critical juncture: expert

President Donald Trump has reached a critical juncture, writes geopolitical analyst and expert Trista Parsi, one that could result in either some de-escalation in the Middle East or an unprecedented disruption to global trade that could send oil prices to “well above $200 per barrel.”

Parsi’s analysis, detailed in a report published on his Substack Sunday night, comes after Iran and Israel exchanged strikes earlier that same day. On Monday, Trump publicly pleaded with Israel and Iran to stop fighting as his administration continues working toward a negotiated settlement with Tehran, though both nations have frequently defied the president’s wishes.

Livid backlash as MAGA officials blame Biden for screwworm: 'Did he build a time machine?'

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) sparked widespread mockery Monday after both appeared on Newsmax to blame former President Joe Biden for the screwworm emergency now threatening Texas cattle — despite the Trump administration's own cuts to the very monitoring programs designed to stop the parasite.

Rollins, who oversees the federal response to the first confirmed U.S. screwworm infestation in decades, pointed the finger squarely at her predecessor. "I do think it's important to note that under the last administration, with the massive movement under the open borders policy, the cartels, et cetera, border security — that's when it began to make its way back up toward America," she said, adding that when she took office in February 2025, "obviously not much had been done to push back."

Prominent conservative commentator Ann Coulter hammered President Donald Trump Sunday night over what she labeled as his “absolute worst” act of selfishness she’d witnessed yet, one that’s expected to inconvenience thousands of Americans.

On Friday, Trump confirmed that he planned to attend the NBA Finals game in New York between the San Antonio Spurs and the New York Knicks, scheduled to kick off Monday night.

Hollywood star leaks Melania joke that got cut from new Scary Movie film

Anna Faris wanted her Scary Movie 6 character to go full MAGA — and nearly pulled it off, except for one joke that didn't survive the editing room.

In a new interview with Dexerto, Faris revealed she pushed for Cindy Campbell's return to reflect a very specific cultural archetype. "I was always pushing for Cindy to be classic MAGA rabbit hole," she said. "The kind of person that you saw outside of the Walmart during quarantine, that was raising some kind of crazy a-- fuss."

Fans of President Donald Trump's Make America Great Again movement melted down on Sunday after reality TV personality Spencer Pratt fell out of his second-place spot in Los Angeles's mayoral primary race.

Pratt, who ran as a Republican, had held a strong lead against Los Angeles City Councilmember Nithya Raman, a Democrat, in the primary race until Sunday. The Los Angeles Times reported that mail-in ballots were the key reason why Raman was able to make such a large comeback, and the trend seems likely to continue as the state allows mail-in ballots to be counted for several days following an election.
