Dana bashed: CNN host called to 'resign' after letting Lindsey Graham steamroll her on air

CNN host Dana Bash came under fire over the weekend after an interview in which Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) went on an angry rant and stated he was looking forward to going after President Joe Biden and members of his administration if Donald Trump wins re-election in November.

Graham appeared Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union," where he ranted about Biden, accusing the president of being "compromised" as Bash sat there and failed to fact-check him in much the same manner as she also failed to fact-check Trump when she was co-moderator on the CNN-hosted debate on Thursday evening.

Trump-aligned 'smear machine' ramping up plan to vilify government workers by name

With an announcement on X earlier this week, "WE ARE DECLARING WAR ON THE DEEP STATE,” a conservative project aligned with both Donald Trump and Project 2025 — which is creating a roadmap to gut the government if Trump is re-elected — is preparing to "name and shame" civil servants they believe won't be loyal to the now convicted felon ex-president.

According to a report from the Guardian, with financial assistance from the Heritage Foundation, "Project Sovereignty 2025" is going to make life miserable for government workers who will likely face threats of violence as accusations fly with their names attached.

Jen Psaki pours cold water on proposal to switch to a brokered Democratic convention

Former Joe Biden White House press secretary and current MSNBC host Jen Psaki cautioned her viewers that a brokered Democratic convention being proposed by some liberal commentators after Biden's terrible debate performance is easier to talk about than it is to pull off.

While Psaki didn't say it was impossible, she did state that it could end in disaster in multiple ways that some advocates seem to be unaware of.

"I'm not going to sit here and tell you what to think, but those of you out there who have hopes of Joe Biden stepping aside for a with a brokered convention, you should know all the factors there," she lectured. "First of all, it would have a seismic impact on the Democratic party if the president stayed neutral and didn't endorse his own vice president."

"It would mean also a couple of thousand party insiders would be empowered to make a choice on the nominee, not the millions of Democratic primary voters who already cast their ballots," she continued. "And it could mean positioning a talented, and there are many Democrats who are talented out there, but a largely untested candidate with potentially low name identification into the national spotlight as one person responsible for defeating Trump just over two months from an election."

"You may still prefer that option, but you should know the candidate spit out of that process and may not be your choice either," she added. "It will all be very messy and potentially very divisive. It still feels very unlikely. right now, Jill Biden is standing by the president — the most important person in his life. Barack Obama is standing by him."


"We can discuss and debate all day long whether that is the right thing, there are reasonable and thoughtful arguments on both sides of that question, and we will discuss them over the course of the show and over the next few weeks," she promised.

'Wow': MSNBC host stunned by legal expert's proposal for Trump Jan. 6 trial strategy

Former Judge J. Michael Luttig caught MSNBC's Ali Velshi by surprise on Sunday morning by stating he thinks Judge Tanya Chutkan would have no problem starting Donald Trump’s trial related to the Jan. 6 insurrection just days before voters go to the polls in November.

Appearing to talk about the Supreme Court's impending ruling on Donald Trump's bid for absolute immunity expected Monday morning, the conservative judge who served on the 4th Circuit United States Court of Appeals after being appointed by President George H. W. Bush, Luttig suggested the former president won't get his wish and that the trial in Chutkan's courtroom will proceed after clearing a few hurdles.

As Luttig told the MSNBC host, while there are political considerations involved in starting a trial that could run through the election, there is no legal reason stopping special counsel Jack Smith from asking for the trial to start as soon as possible -- politics be damned.

"The politics of the moment will all but demand that Jack Smith forgo trial before the election, and until after the election," Luttig told the MSNBC host before adding, "But I would urge Jack Smith, in the strongest possible terms today not to yield to that cynical partisan politics, and to bring this case on for trial even in September or October," at which point Velshi blurted, "Wow,' as Luttig continued, "In the name of, and for the sake of American democracy, the Constitution and rule of law."

"Judge, is there any chance if Jack Smith hears this and takes your guidance on this that Tanya Chutkan will allow it to happen?" Velshi pressed.

"Yes, there is every chance in the world that Judge Chutkan would allow that to happen, Ali," the retired judge replied.
