Florida Reps. Anna Paulina Luna and Cory Mills have floated the idea that criminal charges could be filed against Judge Juan Merchan — who oversaw the newly elected president’s business fraud trial in New York this spring and still sent him to prison could convict — and against his daughter Loren Merchan and Special Prosecutor Jack Smith, despite Jordan’s assurances that this administration is not about revenge.

Here’s more from the Republican representative, who was put to the sword by Dana Bash yesterday, on why his party only claims election fraud when their candidate is defeated – a good question that he completely failed to answer.

Mike Bedigan has the details.

Veteran Republican pollster Frank Luntz has accused Kamala Harris’ campaign advisers of committing “political malfeasance” because they focused on Trump’s shortcomings instead of telling the electorate “about her.”

Luntz sat down with ABC News’ Jonathan Karl This week and argued that the vice president’s campaign staff had set her up for failure due to a lack of focus on creating her own political identity and policies.

There’s more of this James Liddell.

Speaking Fox and friends This morning, Tom Homan – Trump’s new border czar – revealed that his family is “currently away from home” as they have been receiving death threats since his appointment was announced by the newly elected President on Truth Social last night.

Homan dismissively told the hosts that such threats are “something we will deal with.”

“They’re not going to bully me away,” he added.

The official explained that his job will be to fulfill Trump’s promise to carry out “the largest deportation operation in history” and that he will begin targeting those who “a federal judge said you had to go and they don’t.”

Addressing migrants, Homan said: “You have the right to seek asylum. You have the right to a judge. We make sure that happens… (But if the) judge says you have to go home, then we have to take them home.”

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan on Sunday pushed back on concerns that the president-elect will weaponize the federal government against his political enemies, even as Trump himself has publicly pledged to do so, as the chart below illustrates.

Here it is John Bowden about what Jordan had to tell CNN State of the Union.

Tellingly, the congressman now appears to have accepted the position we mentioned earlier The New York Post in a statement:

“I am truly honored to earn President Trump’s nomination to serve in his Cabinet as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations.

“During my conversation with President Trump, I expressed how deeply humbled I am to accept his nomination and that I look forward to earning the support of my colleagues in the U.S. Senate.”

As it stands, she still needs senators’ approval.

The biotech CEO appeared on ABC’s This Week on Sunday, where he was asked by Jonathan Karl whether he will be part of a second Trump administration, one where the Trump transition team is thought to center around political appointees who show loyalty to Trump appreciate above all else. otherwise.

Ramaswamy dodged the exact role he might play but confirmed he was having “high-impact discussions” about his way forward.

The former Fox News host and Trump ally has claimed Senate Republicans are staging “a coup” against the newly elected president as three senators compete to replace Mitch McConnell.

Republicans regained control of the Senate on election night, leaving the door open for one of their own to replace McConnell, the chamber’s longest-serving party leader, who plans to step down at the end of the year.

“What the hell is going on in the United States Senate?” Carlson posted on X this weekend.

“Hours after Donald Trump won the most convincing mandate in four decades, Mitch McConnell is plotting a coup against his agenda by calling early Senate leadership elections.

“Two out of three candidates hate Trump and what he ran against.”

Here it is Kelly Rissman about his objections to John Cornyn and John Thune.

Implementing loyalists into positions in the executive branch, forcing local and state law enforcement agencies to comply with mass deportations and taking a confrontational approach to relations with China are all policies promoted by the America First Policy Institute, a right-wing think tank with influence on Donald Trump. .

Ariana Baio breaks it off.

The president-elect’s former U.N. ambassador turned chief rival is playing nice after being publicly snubbed by Trump in a Truth Social post saying she and ex-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will both be barred from his second government.

Here it is John Bowden with Haley’s response.
