Real America's Voice host Emily Finn said she did not believe the White House "looks destroyed" after President Donald Trump demolished the building's East Wing to make room for his $250 million gilded ballroom project.

"President Trump is having some renovations done at the White House," the pro-MAGA host told reporter Brian Glenn on Thursday. "Many on the left claim it's unprecedented. Earlier this week, even Hillary Clinton posted on X, saying it's not his house, it's your house, and he's destroying it."

Reacting to a NBC News report that the rush to put more masked ICE agents on the streets is resulting in a flood of applicants who have violent histories and possible criminal backgrounds, the panel on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” warned chaos on U.S. cities is about to take a turn for the worse.

As co-host Mike Brzezinski reported, “ICE officials later discovered that some recruits had criminal backgrounds, failed drug tests, or did not meet physical or academic standards. What's more, some recruits had not submitted fingerprints for background checks, which is a violation of ICE hiring policy. In fact, one recruit had prior charges for strong-armed robbery and battery related to domestic violence.”

Rep. Marjoie Taylor Greene (R-GA) escalated her feud with her Republican colleagues on Wednesday night during an interview with Tucker Carlson on his eponymous media network.

Greene has been at odds with Republican leadership over the last couple of months over the Trump administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files and the government shutdown. Greene has criticized her colleague for protecting sexual predators over their victims, and accused her party of hurting average Americans by allowing health care subsidies to expire.

A pair of Democrats bashed a GOP strategist on CNN on Tuesday night after the strategist defended President Donald Trump's ballroom renovation project at the White House, which they argued needed more oversight.

Rep. Sara Jacobs (D-CA) and Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-NY) joined CNN's "NewsNight with Abby Phillip" to discuss the government shutdown and Trump's decision to undertake a significant renovation project while Congress is out of session. The ballroom project was initially projected to cost $200 million, paid for by private funds, including Trump's, but reports indicate that estimate has swelled to more than $300 million.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) slammed Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) during an interview onCNN after she claimed that Republicans are hurting people by allowing health care subsidies to expire.

Greene has broken with Republican leadership in recent weeks over the government shutdown and President Donald Trump's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, which he promised to release while he was campaigning. For instance, Greene joined Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Ro Khanna (D-CA) at a press conference with Epstein's victims. She also criticized how Republicans have handled the shutdown on comedian Theo Von's podcast, "This Past Weekend."

Hollywood legend Robert De Niro, who has won two Academy Awards and a Golden Globe, is now just a "sad, broken old man," according to Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff for policy.

De Niro, 82, teed off on Miller this week during an appearance on MSNBC's "The Weekend," comparing Miller to Joseph Goebbels, a Nazi politician who served as Adolf Hitler’s chief propagandist and Reich Minister of Propaganda.

President Donald Trump appears to be holding his vice president back from achieving his most "dangerous" goals, according to a former Republican analyst.

Ex-Republican analyst Tim Miller, host of "The Bulwark Podcast," said during a new podcast episode on Wednesday that President Donald Trump's lack of apparent ideology seems to be thwarting the culture war aims of Vance and other administration members like Russ Vought and Stephen Miller.

President Donald Trump is trying to destroy everything about the government that functions for the people in order to reshape it in his image, former White House ethics expert turned States United Democracy Center chief Norm Eisen told MSNBC's "The Weeknight" in a highly animated tirade.

This comes as Trump moves to bulldoze the East Wing of the White House to make room for his massive, corporate-funded ballroom project, all in the middle of a federal government shutdown being waged over whether people will continue to have funding for health care.

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) accused President Donald Trump's Department of Justice of ignoring death threats against him, despite their pledge to actively pursue threats against elected officials, during an interview with progressive YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen on Wednesday.

Swalwell said he has referred multiple people to the DOJ for threatening his life and the lives of his family members. He added that the DOJ sent him a letter saying they were not going to prosecute the cases.

A former Justice Department attorney tore into his old employer on MSNBC over the legality and ethics of President Donald Trump seeking over $200 million from the department, and delivered a stark warning to a pair of appointees who may help him.

Andrew Weissmann joined MSNBC's "The Beat" on Wednesday to discuss the events of the day, calling the ethics "absolutely clear" in this situation.
