Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) and journalist Mehdi Hasan traded accusations of bigotry, dishonesty, and drunkenness during a chaotic debate on “Piers Morgan Uncensored.”

During the Thursday segment, Mace accused Hasan of being “jihad-adjacent” and questioned whether he respected women before Hasan confronted her over remarks she has made about Muslim Americans.

MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace was aghast on Thursday's edition of "Deadline: White House" as Trump escalates his threats against Canada, seeking a closer partnership with the European Union — and Canada going for it anyway.

"I think ... the way it translates to voters, especially Republican voters, is the stench of weakness," Wallace told guest Cornell Belcher. "We have never looked so weak, being isolated. And I say this with a little bit of experience from my time in government: people care a lot about the national security implications. But the association of standing alone is something that all voters internalize and dislike, and it makes people feel frightened, and it makes America look weak."

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was repeatedly thwarted during a speech critical of childhood vaccines by a reading lamp that kept falling from the podium and resisting his efforts to operate it, often drawing laughter from the friendly audience.

Kennedy delivered the address Thursday afternoon at the Grand Hyatt Washington, where Children's Health Defense held a one-day conference, according to the group. The group is the anti-vaccine organization Kennedy co-founded and chaired until 2024, and the speech was his first at one of its events since he became health secretary.

Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-WI) said a gay president is more likely to be a Republican because Black voters are "not ready" to elect one.

Van Orden made the remarks Thursday in an interview with TMZ outside the U.S. Capitol.

A city council meeting was interrupted when Philadelphia City Hall evacuated after officials found a suspicious package on Thursday, according to multiple reports.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) burst into spontaneous laughter when a reporter told her that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) claimed his leadership produced the most productive Congress in nearly 100 years.

Warren was taking questions in a Capitol hallway Thursday morning, on her way into a closed-door meeting. The senator's unexpected laughter came a day after Johnson sent House members home until Nov. 9, canceling a vote on impeaching Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Influential podcaster Joe Rogan was raked over the coals on Thursday morning after professing to be completely in the dark about corruption allegations targeting Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

Rogan, based in Austin, appeared to play dumb as Texas comedian Ron White called Paxton — running for U.S. Senate in their state — a "piece of s---" and detailed criminal charges that led to impeachment proceedings.

The Republican-led House of Representatives is skipping town again — shutting down all business until the midterms. And MS NOW's Jen Psaki drew attention to the likely reason they are doing it.

"There have been 185 weekdays since this year began," said Psaki. "And of those 185 weekdays, the House of Representatives has been on the job for a whopping 71 days." In other words, she said, "That is less than 40 percent of the days that you and I and everybody else have been expected to show up for work this year."
