According to a former US senator, the last thing Republican members of Congress want is to participate in a floor vote that would allow the US Treasury to place Donald Trump’s face on a new $250 bill at a time when Americans can’t afford to pay for food and gas.

Appearing on MS NOW on Friday morning, an amused ex-Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) watched a clip of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent blow off concerns about the proposal and state the president was deserving of the honor.

Ousted Attorney General Pam Bondi passed the buck in her closed-door House Oversight Committee hearing on Friday by pinning problems with the Jeffrey Epstein files on the man who took her job.

Based upon the release of her opening statement to the committee, a bemused MS NOW correspondent Ken Dilanian claimed the fired AG did not do acting-Attorney General Todd Blanche any favors.

Fox News' Brian Kilmeade appeared to admit Friday that President Donald Trump's apparent sleeping spells during meetings were real — but mounted a personal defense of the president's frequent snoozing while pleading with viewers to "please stop" drawing attention to it.

“I've been accused of a lot of things but not cognitive decline — anyone who's with me on Friday or Saturday, or sometimes around 2 o’clock on the train, I will fall asleep!” Kilmeade said on “Fox & Friends.” “That's what happens when you sleep four hours a day, and for his case, you have the weight of the country on your shoulders. Sometimes you fall asleep, let alone being 80 years old!”

MS NOW host Mika Brzezinski asked her guest, Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), to take over for her as she grew tearful talking about horrific conditions ICE detainees are being subjected to in Department of Homeland Security facilities the "Morning Joe" co-host called "concentration camps."

A discussion with co-host Jonthan Lemire about threats new DHS head Markwayne Mullin has been aiming at the nation’s airports, set Brzezinski off, as she lambasted Donald Trump’s administration with her voice breaking and her eyes filling with tears.

President Donald Trump's latest midterm gaffe was his most revealing yet, and it signaled that we are headed for a "very messy moment," according to one of his biographers.

Journalist Michael Wolff, who has written four books about Trump, discussed the president's recent comments about the approaching midterm elections during this week's cabinet meeting on a new episode of "Inside Trump's Head," a podcast he co-hosts with Joanna Coles of The Daily Beast. During the meeting, Trump told a reporter that he "doesn't care about the midterms," and that his primary goal is to ensure Iran does not develop a nuclear weapon.

A legal expert was stunned on Thursday after a federal judge tried to save President Donald Trump's Department of Justice from legal peril in a case involving transgender children.

Liz Dye, a legal commentator, discussed the Trump DOJ's scheme to get medical records of transgender youths from a hospital in Rhode Island on a new episode of the "LegalEagle" podcast. Recently, a federal judge in Rhode Island accused lawyers from the Trump DOJ of making several misrepresentations to the court, which Dye said is an "extraordinary thing for a federal judge to say about a lawyer from the Justice Department." Those misstatements put the entire trial in jeopardy, Dye added.

Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) lashed out at her Democratic opponent Graham Platner's military service, in a video posted Thursday night by the right-wing Maine Wire — in particular responding to Platner's remarks that she "sent him" to Iraq.

"First of all, he not only enlisted twice after the war was started, but he also went to work for a security company, a controversial one named Blackwater, after his term of service was over," said Collins, during a campaign stop at a fire station in Auburn. "So I respect anyone who steps forward to serve their country, but the fact is that it was Platner's decision to serve. He was not drafted."

Fox News personality Jesse Watters on Thursday treated the viewers to a lengthy rant about Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, mocking him as part of a coordinated GOP messaging strategy to make him look effeminate.

"I have questions that I'd like local reporters to ask Low-T Talafreako," said Watters, who has a long and controversial history of offensive remarks on air. "Does James Talarico even own a gun? Is James Talarico a Cowboys fan, a Houston Texans fan? Does he know the Spurs are playing tonight? Has Talarico ever been to a football game or is he more of a World Cup guy? Does Talarico own a truck? Does he believe in premarital sex? Does Talarico wear women’s underwear?"
